    Gaming Ocarina of Time 3D - Check for missing Heartpiece?

    You most certainly know the drill: Missing that one darn Piece of Heart at the end. The thing is, i'm pretty confident that i found them all and i actually quadruple checked the list: - Saria's Song at solo Skullkid - Simon Says with Skullkid Duo - Box puzzle on Lon Lon Farm - Missing dog at...

    Hacking Ao no Kiseki PPSSPP HD Texture Pack

    I tried to apply this to my PC version of Ao mainly for the button prompts and for whatever reason, it's doing nothing for me. I get the specialK overlay and all, but there are no changes whatsoever. Is ReShade necessary? I left that out since the color correction seemed a little too dark for...

    Nintendo advises players to not use disinfectant on their Nintendo Switch console

    As someone who basically dissolved a JoyCon cap during a repair and cleaning attempt with PE-cleaner ...yeah, they do have a point. But it also shows the issue of using incredibly cheap parts... The rubber used for the JoyCon sticks is almost as brittle as the one of the very first DualShock...

    ROM Hack [RELEASE] Bravely Default Village Save Editor

    Since this seems to be the most fitting thread for it: Does anyone know where to poke around in BD's save files regarding quest completion? Without server connection, the "Invite Friends" tutorial quest is pretty much dead in the water. Editing the colony save is a brilliant workaround to...

    Gaming Bravely Default -or- "What is futureproofing?"

    So far, most major Switch games seem to avoid making the Switch's gimmicks (3D Rumble, detachable JoyCon motion controls, that...infrared...thingy) the main attraction like the plague. For better or for worse. Heck, even the touchscreen has seen almost no use so far. So far, it's a pretty...

    Gaming Bravely Default -or- "What is futureproofing?"

    Getting over what? That keeping non-MMO games playable for longer than their shelf life due to arbitrary shenanigans and a lack of foresight becoming a community effort? Nah, i don't think i won't anytime soon.

    Gaming Bravely Default -or- "What is futureproofing?"

    I'd say not quite. You simply don't implement them into core gameplay mechanics that, if lost, break the entirety of the game. Take the aforementioned Souls series. Sure, if they get cut from the net (Like Demon's Souls) they lose quite a bit of appeal, but the single player experience is almost...

    Gaming Bravely Default -or- "What is futureproofing?"

    Absolutely fair point. Then again, i'd differentiate between necessary/unavoidable hardware concessions and, well, "planned" obsolescence or even a lack of caring for failsaves. While the things lost in a hardware switch are often irreplaceable, games can be moderately easily be patched. If a...

    Gaming Bravely Default -or- "What is futureproofing?"

    With Bravely Default 2 on the horizon, i thought i'd take the original for another spin. This time on a big screen via emulator since it's much more comfortable with my deteriorating eyesight. And man, this game is so not futureproof, it's not even funny... On paper, it makes "good" use of...
