    Breadbugs in disguise

    In the Pikmin series, the distinctive enemy, the bulborb (a bipedal frog-like creature with eyes on stalks), is often accompanied by what you might assume are its children. However, it has been discovered that these dwarf bulborbs are in fact a carnivorous type of breadbug (bread roll with a...

    Homebrew Request: SVI file for BotW

    I would like to import my horses from BotW into TotK. Unfortunately I played BotW on Wii U rather than Switch. I can edit the horses I want into a save file with Marc Robledo's editor, but need some help getting the game to see it. JKSV has the ability to create saves for games that aren't...

    Left-handed gyro for Skyward Sword &c.?

    Is there any way (perhaps through homebrew) of swapping the gyro signals of the left and right joycon? Then I could play left-handed (yes, I know this won't match Link's model), with the left joycon controlling the sword, beetle, loftwing &c. and shield with the right.

    Upscaling games to 4K if 60 fps is not possible

    TL;DR: use another device (Extron, Decimator, BlackMagic, AVMatrix) to limit your weak console’s output to 720p30 and upscale with mClassic. https://www.resetera.com/threads/how-to-force-4k-30-or-1440p-60-from-switch-mclassic.478605/ I have a Switch. Many games target 30 fps, and even with...

    Hardware Mapping back paddles to buttons from the other joycon

    TL;DR: map the screenshot button to e.g. A in System Settings, then assign the back paddle to the screenshot button. I mostly use my Xbox Elite controller to play Switch games, using a Brook Xone converter. The best feature is the remappable back paddles, which I have as A & B on the left and X...

    Hardware Wii gun attachments with buttons you can reach?

    Has anyone seen any of the fancy gun shells / controllers described here for sale (probably in Europe, as postage from America or Asia is expensive) recently?: http://boojakascha.ch/index.php?page=Best2Wii / I think they might be more comfortable than pointing with a Wiimote held parallel to...

    Homebrew Dolphin settings that are CPU-limited?

    My dolphin is choking on too many pecans! I'm playing through Pikhacker's hilariously auto-translated Pikmin 2 hack Pecan 2 (the above image shows about the most comprehensible text I've seen in the game…) on my underpowered computer (2017 MacBook Pro i5 3.1 GHz dual core, running Windows 10...

    ROM Hack Lunar Knights screen swap code?

    Has anyone successfully swapped the screens of Lunar Knights (ideally EUR, but as I'm playing in English, the US version would work as well) so the action happens on the top screen? I would like this partly because I am used to games' primary display being the top screen, and partly for use with...

    Horizon Zero Dawn crash - shaders on Intel?

    I bought a licence for Horizon Zero Dawn from someone who bought a graphics card with it bundled. I started it and IIRC it crashed during the optimisation (building shader cache) step. I found a pre-built set of shaders (from someone with a dedicated graphics card)...

    Hardware DIY XBO analog stick octagonal gate

    I like the octagonal gate on the GameCube controller's analog sticks, but want the benefit of a more modern controller (four shoulder buttons, clickable sticks &c.). You can get customised shells for the Switch Pro Controller with notches at the desired points (4 or 8, or more complex mods for...
