    World's first Wii U Gamepad to PC dongle called Chocolate announced, initial wave of pre-orders sold out immediately

    the idea is almost certainly to open source after those 30 have received their adapters. he wants the people who paid him to actually get the adapter before anyone else clones it. So building your own won't be possible until after the 30 are in the hands of the buyers. That's also most...

    Emulation What's the best GBA emulator?? Like truest best one???

    camelot planning's audio driver gives psp gba emulators fits, and cause stuttering and slideshows. golden sun also is known to have issues. TemmpGBA4PSP Mod (https://github.com/phoe-nix/TempGBA4PSP-mod/tree/20160527) does seem to manage Golden Sun, better than most, but i have no idea if it can...

    Emulation What's the best GBA emulator?? Like truest best one???

    Unfortuantely, the psp really can'y fully handle GBA. An interpretive core is required for some games, such as golden sun. There are a number of emus with dynarec, and all of them fail hard on certain games, and it's the same ones for all of the emulators.

    Nintendo issues DMCA takedown notices to Ryujinx forks on GitHub

    This is a very thorny problem. It seems we will need a clean roomed replacement firmware that runs decrypted games, can't run encrypted ones, and doesn't clone the UI. Running Nintendo's firmware and sigpatching it in emulator violates the DMCA, and would open it to a takedown. If we have...

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

    You need to double compress. Say you have rom.nds you compress rom.nds and file_id.diz into rom.zip with no compression. THEN you zip that zip file a SECOND time with compression, and put a password on the new zip. Even though the hash is still visible for the zip inside the zip, the hash is...

    EZ-Flash's new Nintendo DS flashcard Product Images with Information

    it's the ace3ds+ and it's clones that simply do not operate at all without a sdcard inside. ANY sdcard counts for ntrboot. there are a lot of clones. notably, while the actual ace3ds+ CAN be ntrboot flashed 100%, most of the clones cannot.

    Can you patch ds roms to fool them into thinking you have the GBA cart they want inserted?

    well yeah if you have a single game only flashcart that will work. but most i know of have a menu to pick the GBA game. someone else asked "can a rom detect another rom" and gave the example of wanting to provide a gba rom to the R4 flashcart to get the exclusive content for the game, without...

    Can you patch ds roms to fool them into thinking you have the GBA cart they want inserted?

    With emulators, you can attach both a gba and a ds rom and the emulated DS will detect the emulated gba game. For obvious reasons, you cannot replicate this with a gba flashcart and ds flashcart on real hardware. The GBA flashcart has to boot to be seen as the real game, and the DS game will...

    Gaming What happens when the clock battery dies?

    Unfortunately, playing predownloaded games early is a valid concern for Sony, and the alternative is to disable predownloads, and cause their servers to be packed more at release date. And since all games copy to the hard drive from the disc (to make all games have downloadable versions) it...

    Gaming What happens when the clock battery dies?

    This actually needs a fix from Sony. There are two reasons the ps4 requires a synched and cryptosigned clock to boot all games. 1) To enforce predownloading. If the clock wasn't synched you could play digital games before release date. 2) If you can time travel, you can get trophies shown as...
