    Homebrew WiiCompiled lets you play Mario Kart Wii natively on PC

    Where are you getting this from? I'm not seeing anything about this from the YouTube comments or the GitHub issues. When you say "tons of people" I'd think I'd be able to find something about it, but so far I haven't.

    Why no exploit for the Series yet?

    Because aside from homebrew, an exploit does very little else except provide a potential entry point for piracy. Which hackers and groups such as Team Twiizers, fail0verflow, and SciresM have all said they don't endorse. Look at the legal trouble that GaryOPA and Team Xecutor found themselves...

    Help

    Yes, in general it's going to depend on what game you're trying to mod, because the audio formats can differ between games. The format you need to use can also differ depending on whether you're replacing background audio or dialog or sound effects. As far as turning it into a patch other...

    Homebrew Project Super Smash Bros. (N64) PC Port Out of Beta

    From the GitHub page: BattleShip is a PC port of Super Smash Bros. (N64) — both the US (NTSC-U v1.0) and Japanese (Nintendo All-Star! Dairantou Smash Brothers) releases — built on top of the VetriTheRetri/ssb-decomp-re decompilation, using libultraship for PC-native rendering / audio / input...

    Linux mint/Window dual-boot. Question about NTFS format

    What you're asking for is technically possible, but I wouldn't advise it. I used to do this on my Steam Deck. Linux can read and write to an NTFS partition, and in some cases you can even run games from it, but it's not a good idea. You get conflicts due to things like Windows Fast Startup...

    Gaming Free Games thread

    Pet Lands is free on Steam until March 22nd: It's an idle/incremental game, kinda crappy but it's free, and the graphics are kinda cute.

    Valve still aims for a first half 2026 release for their new hardware amidst component shortages

    That's a bummer... I was hoping for Q1 2026... I'm really just interested in the Frame. Now I'm wondering whether they'll actually release it by Christmas...

    Hardware DSpico released

    I understand it's an open source cartridge, which I absolutely love, but is there a recommended place where I can simply buy this pre-manufactured?

    Misc What would convince you to get a Switch 2?

    I'm waiting until the inevitable release of the Switch 2 OLED. There's no reason to spend money on a Switch 2 when such an obvious upgrade is coming. I have a Steam Deck and a very large game library on Steam to preoccupy me in the meantime, I'm in no rush. I suppose if an exploit was found for...

    The US government is now in shutdown.

    I 100% agree. Both sides are pretty shitty, but one is much less shittier than the other. One makes a bunch of promises and never follows through with them once they're in power, vs. the other which is openly racist and fascist and somehow people still voted them in office (I personally believe...

    The US government is now in shutdown.

    We go through this damn political theater every couple of years... and just like usual, the average American gets hurt (either as a government employee that is forced to work without pay or is furloughed, or as somebody who relies on a government-provided service and can't access it) while...

    FSR4 can now run unofficially on Steam Deck and Linux gaming devices

    You must be joking. Valve's launch of the Steam Deck has done wonders for the Linux community. Proton has made it so that many Windows games run every bit as good, if not better, on Linux than they do on Windows. Linux distros aren't filled with telemetry and advertising crap that slows down...
