    Console power bricks, were they a good or bad idea?

    Ugly idea, though not free of merits as per above! In fact I have converted my desktop PC from Wii power brick + PicoPSU to Dell FX190 power brick + PicoPSU, as fanless and still cool running but fits into the case... after a bit of metalworking!

    Cheapest console devkit

    Depends on what you mean by "devkit"... In the strictest sense, the top of the line boxes with live computer connection for installing and debugging stuff, well they're rare and expensive (each licensed developer did not buy many of them and indeed would rather have as little as possible...

    Misc Questions regarding the PS2 inside of the PS3 launch models

    Most PS2 slims and all superslims (at least by model numbers, and including the 100% stock miniaturization champion 79xxx) already use the EE+GS (which BTW was invented for the PSX, then the 70xxx alternated between separate and combined depending on stock, then.....) :) Well, once you have an...

    Emulation You can connect a DS emulator to real Wii console?

    Yup but it's because the two* (one of which being a notoriously inaccurate HLE) teamed up to explicitly add a trick feature to do that, it's not a specific case of a more generalized console-to-console network! * both are Free Software and another emulator - or more relevantly to your question...

    Is it possible to stream live, low latency screen capture from PC to Wii?

    Well, most consoles and/or TV media players (remember "multimedia hard drives"?) do exactly that :P Most graphic cards from the "movie DVD = hottest invention ever" age also have that built in (and/or S-video which is a big improvement and in the States you might actually have a TV with a...

    Hardware GBA Project [Alpha Release] Celio-Link — Online Trading between Gen 3 Pokémon Games

    Not the powerful-for-contests ones though :( (and even sticking to the available ones - up to those that became EV removers in Emerald - it seems like a pain to get them to appear, even once you know it's 512 steps for a chance of them appearing and apparently only on 3rd island) Then again you...

    does fat ps2 run ps1 iso burned disc as ps1 hardware natively or through soft emulation?

    That's a quite sketchy ad for what appears to be an American network adapter (which is probably good, because I've never heard of a fake of the American one, while there are plenty of the Ethernet-only ones) Yes, you can use a SATA drive if you also buy the other product you linked and swap the...

    New ad network 2025 - provide feedback here

    Very likely, as per my previous post, most online ads are trying hard to track your activity and/or gratuitously use your processing power to do work for their interests (ie "real time bidding") It could be different (there have been literally 60+ years of advertising before where that was at...

    Issue with my Pokémon Black cart

    Funnily that's the biggest exception...ish Every non-Japanese edition of Pokemon BW12 is enabled on every non-Chinese 23DSi, yes you're reading that correctly, "must of" been Trump, go figure!

    does fat ps2 run ps1 iso burned disc as ps1 hardware natively or through soft emulation?

    The WiiU does not support Wii software... yes you've read that right, the Vwii launcher does not work on any real Wii because the executable is in WiiU format, it's "just" that 1- there are some compatibility layers for Wii software (BC-WFS and BC-NAND) 2- the hardware can be switched into...

    Best Thinkpad to reduce my screentime?

    The literal answer is likely some fake model e.g. the L series, the real ones (despite crap being pulled for 10+ years such as 16:9, the "new" keyboard, more soldered parts, no more real docks, etc) will if anything make personal computing a little greater again ;)

    New ad network 2025 - provide feedback here

    As for the original question, this is how it looks for me when I'm home (= are willing to turn off blockers because I'm not on limited data): The vertical banner soooometimes gets an actual ad in (generally one in good taste - no fake news/virus warnings/download buttons/singles near local...

    Hacking Feedback Homebrew a few questions regarding external storage device

    The classic and least intrusive way is indeed that (note also that most homebrew, WiiU and Wii*, is generally best/only ran from SD) This http://gbatemp.net/threads/usb-partition-use-partitioned-usb-hdds-with-the-wii-u.656209/ is not the "rather intrusive mod" I mentioned before (it still is...
