    Homebrew Merry Christmas - Have some RAM Dumping!

    EDIT: I can't figure out how to get the quote to work right with the second half of the post since it only seems to quote the first half. (The second half was the one that had the pertinent info i was attempting to address). Your post is technically incorrect since pirated N-Gage games were...

    Hacking Ace3DS Team released a hybrid card that comes with a 3DS rom

    The thing that puzzles me about the who thing is that if it is indeed a shitty DS flashcart glued to the guts of a legit 3DS cart then how can they afford to sell them for so cheap? These things are supposed to sell for <10 USD. How the hell would they be making money on this printing the...

    NVIDIA Portable Game Console announced at CES

    In regards to Microsoft leaving the gaming market i don't see it happening. There was an interview or an internal presentation from around the time they released the original XBox that talked about how MS had reached market saturation with OS sales and how they needed to branch out into new...

    Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

    You're pretty much dead on. The hack is useless to the end user since the hackers can't really do much with it at the moment. I expect the hype to die down while the hackers spend months reverse engineering the system to figure out how things work before they even begin to think about coding a...

    Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

    The exploit is based on a retail game as in physical cartridge that you buy in a physical store that you have to walk to.

    Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

    Yellow 8 mentioned earlier that this exploit is running on the current firmware so there is no reason not to update especially given how buggy the original firmware is. Not to mention the fact that very few people keep their systems on original firmware so any sane developer planning to release...

    Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

    Yes, this exploit is firmware dependent and since it is based on a cartridge save exploit it can only be fixed by a firmware update. But it is interesting to note that it was achieved with the current firmware so you might want to update your 3DS right now because there is no way to update to a...

    Hacking Ak2i is dead

    Here is what is going to happen: you'll buy the R4i which will work for a while until it can't be updated anymore and then you'll end up buying the DSTwo anyway.

    Hacking Crown3ds flashcard - Hacking your 3DS and playing 3DS games

    Assuming that the cart has built in memory and comes with a special dongle for writing to it I can definitely see it costing more than 100 USD especially since it's the first cart on the market and Crown3DS is a small crew that might not be able to order large batches from the factory causing...

    Hacking Crown3ds flashcard - Hacking your 3DS and playing 3DS games

    I'm no hardware expert, but I don't think that they will be able to implement MicroSD support because there is no actual exploit and the cart only works by passing itself of as an original. I'm also doubtful on multiple game support since no exploit = no unsigned code and no unsigned code = no...

    Hacking Crown3ds flashcard - Hacking your 3DS and playing 3DS games

    I totally agree with specillk regarding NSMB and DK Country Returns. NSMB was especially disappointing. I love 2D platformers, but i didn't even bother finishing it. The levels were cold, bland, uninspired and felt machine made (it felt like they plopped down the elements from a set of tiles ie...

    Gaming Can somebody help me partition my HDD?

    You can't format large drives to fat32 on Windows XP and above. You could use a number of different 3rd party tools. Try fat32format: hxxp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/FAT32format.shtml Or if you're using linux just type this into the terminal while you have root access: mkfs...

    Hacking Is there a wii app that shows the wiimotes bluetooth address?

    Howdy guys. I just got an n900 and would like to sync my wiimote with it to play some nes roms. I am aware of PC apps that display the wiimotes bluetooth address, but they require a bluetooth dongle which i really don't want to shell out for. So i would like to know whether there is a wii app...

    Hacking Does the GC Backup launcher work with the drum controller?

    Howdy guys. I'd like to know whether the Gamecube backup launcher Xi works with the Donkey Kong drum controller. I'd also like to know whether or not it matters if i purchase the drum controller intended for another region (in this case an NTSC-J controller for a NTSC-U console). Thanks in advance.
