    Where Is the Innovation?

    I don't think that it's so much a reliance on nostalgia or brand names, these days the games industry is big business and AAA titles can cost in the realm of hundreds of millions to produce. As a whole gamers are always reaching for the next level of graphical polish, the more realistic physics...

    Hacking can Vita with henkaku play a game that require update 3.61+ ?

    Given that they have likely made no changes other than patching exploits it shouldn't be an issue.

    Hacking Keeping FTP active on 1st Gen Vita while the screen is off

    It isn't something you really need to worry about, there are algorithms in place to prevent image burn in by adjusting the voltage applied to the screen. In short I wouldn't recommend constantly leaving it on a static screen, but even a few hours here and there shouldn't cause you any issues...

    Hacking PSA: PLEASE SHOW MORE RESPECT TO DEVELOPERS

    Whilst I do see what you are attempting to get at, I think your conclusion is a bit farfetched. The scene isn't going to die because a couple of developers are getting butthurt over an leak. Impatient people clamouring for their warez is nothing new, give it a few months for the excitement to...

    ROM Hack Can anyone open these .bin files?

    Japanese characters are encoded differently to western ones, they use 2 bytes per character as opposed to 1 per letter. In my case I use the MadEdit hex editor in order to view them, you can switch to it by going to View -> Encoding and selecting SHIFT-JIS.

    Hacking CIA file question

    I haven't used reinand myself but you are trying to install these cia to emunand right? if the firmware hasn't been patched the install won't work [cia isn't legit], which is what your error seems to mean. I found this thread if it helps...

    Hacking CIA file question

    NASA is only for installing legit cia [i.e. games that came pre-installed on 3ds]. Have you tried various cia or a different version of it? some are dodgy, or incorrect for your firmware depending on what you are trying to install. What is the exact error msg that FBI comes up with may also...

    About the overheated 3DS homebrew & emulators forum

    I think that the only real viable solution is, as has been mentioned already, to instigate a no thread creation until X number of posts policy. Noobs will just keep flooding in and will of course shitpost without reading anything, regardless of how prominent or visible the messages advising...

    Hardware What PS Vita should i buy Guys??

    PSP mode is perfect to the degree I've played around with it. It is sand-boxed so emulators etc don't run any better than they normally would, but no disadvantages to it that I have seen [other than no sound on PS1 games, no access to audio for technical reasons]. There are emulators made...

    Hardware What PS Vita should i buy Guys??

    There are only a couple of differences between the Vita 1000 and 2000 models. The 2000 model is a bit thinner and lighter, the battery life is a bit better and it has 1gb of internal memory, other than that they are exactly the same.

    Homebrew Wii Neogeo emulation question

    I would say it's not so much a lack of optimization, more that the emulator has been setup to load the entire rom into memory rather than caching it. It wouldn't be something that could be easily fixed without a significant rewrite of the emulator which isn't going to happen at this stage in the...

    Coke or Pepsi?

    It's Pepsi Max all the way for me, I don't mind Zero but I can't stand Diet Coke, for whatever reason it makes me feel sick 1/2 the time.

    Homebrew RIP [KTM]

    Sysupdater is inherently unstable, but that's a side effect of the exploit that is being used. There really isn't anything that can be done about other than using another exploit, of which there really aren't any.

    Gaming Looking for a game.

    I like similar sort of games but your options on 3ds are fairly limited. Shin Megami Tensei IV is excellent story wise and the easiest difficulty isn't all that hard if that's a turn off, although it is turn based. Have you played Tales of the Abyss? It has an excellent story line, real-time...

    Homebrew CtrBootManager: 3ds boot manager/loader (HomeMenuHax)

    I was having issues with autobooting rxTools, it would just black screen on me. The way that I got it working was by using the latest nightly build, generating the firm directory and copying it both to the root of the sd card and into the rxTools directory, never saw anything telling me to do...
