    Editorial An unexciting but necessary hardware leap - my first week with the Switch 2

    Great write up, I have only played the existing unoptimized Zelda’s and Mario Kart World so far. I am surprised by how locked down so much is on the Switch 2. Even opening the MKW case to find nothing except a small piece of plastic around a chip felt kind of sad, although it seems this is the...

    Let's talk about the price of Switch 2 games

    Probably if the EU took over the world. Not saying I’m opposed to this given the current state of things.

    French Supreme Court rules in favour of Nintendo in lawsuit against 1fichier for hosting pirated content

    Surprised that pirates don’t stick to the tried and true methods for distributing content, centralized sources are dumb, period. There is a reason the bay hosts torrents and that Usenet prevails. Hosting sites aren’t necessary these days, we would’ve been better off investing time in tech such...

    The Witcher IV announced at The Game Awards

    Ciri being the main focus after three games is one of the few directions they could go to evolve the story without rehashing the same old shit. The books have set Ciri up as Geralts child, and so she is the obvious choice to continue his legacy as a new kind of Witcher. I’m sure we will see...

    Ryujinx emulator taken down after devs reach agreement with Nintendo

    So… who wants to anonymously develop a switch emulator on a decentralized platform that builds and publishes binaries all over the web choosing nodes at random? Sounds like a fun problem to solve.

    Homebrew RELEASE Chiaki (PS5 & PS4 remote play) homebrew

    Here is a script I wrote to make it easier to retrieve the account ID without needing to install Python, or other dependencies. https://gist.github.com/vinnymac/e94d89e2881ef76167440a60b0a067d6 Unlike other solutions I have seen, this doesn’t require third party oauth authentication. But does...

    Tesla is working on Steam integration for Tesla Arcade

    If anyone wants me to try this out when it gets released, I could share more details. I have had the Model 3 for five years, with FSD, so it has the upgraded hardware. I've never had any issues with my vehicle, despite all the hate. I am really excited to see so many other companies getting on...

    Gaming Games like Pokemon Legends Arceus for the 3DS

    Legends Arceus is a bit like a blend of a bunch of previous works combined into something new, you won't find an exact replacement for what it offers. It will depend on what you are enjoying about it. If it's the pokemon RPG side of things you have Pokemon X and Y Pokemon Sun and Moon Pokemon...

    Henry Cavill to play as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's 'The Witcher' series

    I just finished reading the last of Andrzej's series a month ago in Chronological order. They are really great books, I highly recommend giving them a read before the show is released. Keep in mind there are 8 of them, so if you are busy playing the games you may not be able to find the time to...

Formatted to ExFat on Windows 10 (Quick Format) and moved the files to the SD Card. I checked the files and they all had the archive bit enabled. You can see some...

    Hacking Downgrading 9.9 to 9.2 (Question)

    I just downgraded from 9.9 to 9.2 a couple of days ago for the first time. I used Plailect's guide and I had no issues going from 9.9 to 9.2. This was on an o3DS mind you. If you're being safe, I would do a format of the system memory before continuing as it is not worth taking any risks. EDIT...

    Hacking Downgrading to 2.1.0 fails

    I had the same exact issue as Blvck. It was failing on (NFIRM) : v.24368 -> v.03553 every single time I tried (10 attempts). EmuNAND was on v11, and I couldn't find any advice outside of trying NTR. I had been using version 5.2 of Luma3DS, and everything was working fine, but I noticed that 5.5...
