    Give-away A controller for your thoughts - win a free controller!

    1. Upcoming Game: The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales 2. Favourite ROM Hack: The English translation of Tales of Phantasia for the SNES (which at the time I played had no official English translation) 3. A cool bit of gaming tech I own: Game Boy Camera + Printer (pre-historical, I...

    Misc Copy game update with Dumpling and convert it to Installer GX2 format

    Dumpling can only make a copy of the game update files in Cemu format, apparently (I have never used Cemu, btw). I need to convert that into APP format, so I can install that update by using Installer GX2. Apparently Nkit can do that, but I cannot figure out how to do it, as the game update...

    Pokémon Platinum Software functionality difference between legit and reproduction carts

    Guys, is there some feature in-game that only works with an original pokémon platinum cart? I got one on ebay, and it looks really really legit, but I want to make sure. Is there some software feature that can only be used if the cartridge is legit?

    Update via game cart: FW 20.1.1 and SD express support

    I'm worried the potential exploit that would enable CFW is patched in version 20.1.1, but I also want to have the possibility of updating to 20.1.1 even after 20.2.1 (or whatever) is released.

    Update via game cart: FW 20.1.1 and SD express support

    Hey guys. Is there a list of current game carts and the firmware update files contained in them? I'm wondering if I can get access to MicroSD express and Switch 1 games if I do a system update from "the right" Switch 2 game cart. I am assuming in the next weeks and months there will be...

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    Is there any chance the potential exploit triggers would be similar to those that exist for the PS5? I'm asking because now would be the time to download games like Hamidashi Creative Demo Version, just in case something like a LUA loader is made for the Switch 2. Also, I have a Japanese...

    Zelda BOTW remaster for "free" - what are the conditions?

    Apparently, if you own the game and a subscription to Nintendo Online + expansion, you don't need to pay extra. But what does "owning" mean? Does it mean owning either a game cart or the digital version? Or digital only? I don't have the Nintendo online subscription, but I could sign up for...

    Misc How to delete an official firmware update on PS5?

    There's this "PS5 Explorer" app that allows you to browse folders directly in the PS5. I'm just not sure if the Update folder shown on this app is really the same folder the FTP browser would show me... I'm getting prompted to update the system when launching games, even when I'm offline, but I...

    Full compatibility with Switch 1 controllers?

    Thanks! But that announcement is not clear enough. Joy Cons and pro controllers being "compatible" with the Switch 2 doesn't mean much. A PS4 controller is "compatible" with the PS5, but you can't play PS5 games with it, even though most PS5 games would work perfectly fine with a PS4...

    Full compatibility with Switch 1 controllers?

    Hey guys, is there any hint that Switch 2 games will be playable with the original switch joy cons and pro controller? Let's say there's a "Just Dance 2026" coming for the Switch 2. There's no reason why the original joy Cons couldn't be used to play the game. Also for the enhanced Zelda...

    [Aroma] Hide the Payload-loader Installer icon?

    Yeah, that was very noob of me, lol. I thought I could just move that file to another folder still within the apps folder and the Wii U wouldn't find it anymore, but I was wrong. I deleted it and now the icon is gone. Thanks!

    [Aroma] Hide the Payload-loader Installer icon?

    I want to make my Wii U completely "childproof", meaning I don't want the least possibility of a child accessing something they are not supposed to. Is there a way to hide the Payload-loader Installer icon (the little rocket coming out of the box)?

    Compilation of plugins & apps for Aroma

    I should have looked into that earlier... Thanks for the advice! But there's still one thing that bothers me a little: some European games that do have language packages for EU region and Japan won't let me pick the Japanese language in the Region Free Plugin... That's Donkey Kong Tropical...

    Homebrew The Wii U Homebrew Request Thread

    A plugin to force a game to run in a specific language other than that currently set in the system. This would be useful for people who want to run certain games in Japanese in their USA/EUR console (which doesn't let you to change the system language to Japanese and apply to all games), and...

    Compilation of plugins & apps for Aroma

    Is there a plugin to force a game to run in a languge different than that of the console? I am asking because I have a Japanese Wii U. I know some games don't boot at all unless you install the Japanese version (Star For Zero, Mario Kart, etc). I guess it's much more difficult to make those...

    Old 3dsXL is stuck on black screen with back light when i boot up

    I'm having exactly the same problem with my Old 3DS (also same behavior with Luma Menu, Godmode9 and Rosalina). No idea how to it got "kind of fixed", but I let my 3DS on (no SD card) for a few minutes and the Home menu just showed up again. Turned the 3DS off, put the SD card in, powered it...

    PS5 slim disc drive working without 1-time authentication?

    Hey guys, I have a quick question, but let me explain the background first. I bought a brand new PS5 slim on ebay yesterday. The stickers on the lid of the box were untouched. I opened it, did the whole initialization thing, set up an internet connection, but did not update my firmware. I heard...
