    Hacking The legality of flash carts in the USA...

    I ordered Acecard 2i yesterday. Site warned me I should not use it for pirating, only for legal uses (like homebrew development) - and I confirmed I have read it. Also note - laws cannot be applied retroactively.

    Hacking The legality of flash carts in the USA...

    I came to US with like 20 DVD-ROMs with Wii games... Keep in mind - customs officer cannot prove your laptop contents is illegal - he does not have expertise.

    Hacking The legality of flash carts in the USA...

    In my home country the general rules are: The main problem for "them" is to prove that you did something illegal. It is not illegal to own a flashcard, ROMs, etc. It is illegal to distribute them and especially to distribute them for profit. Basically, they would have to prove that you have...

    Hacking The "Which flashcart to get?" Info Thread

    My old trusty DSL is dying on me. I want to buy DSI and this is a proper time to pick a new flash card. On DSL I used R4 (and G6 Lite - but that was a long time ago). The reasons I am not sure if I should buy R4i is: 1. Not sure if R4i is compatible with most games. 2. I hate going through hoops...

    Hacking DARKCORP & original disks

    A problem: I'm currently in US but have a Pal Wii (I brought it with myself, it has mod chip, homebrew channel, etc. - so I see little reason to buy a new one). But here I'm buying retail games. My wii still shows "update requred" on the disk channel so I am forced to use Gecko OS to run games...

    Homebrew Will I be able to play DVDs from video_ts folder on USB stick?

    The disk I was trying to watch is a TV series - so it would need some more editing to have individual files for episodes. I'm so lazy I'd rather watch in on a computer.

    Hacking Wii region change?

    Can I simply change Pal to Ntsc leaving Country Region? Will I need to reinstall System menu/Shop Channel in that case?

    Hardware No 480p on HDTV?

    Hmmm. I always thought it was NTSC back-up (the one that appeared first). I guess I need to try the official copy - I bought it here so it is obviously NTSC.

    Hacking Wii region change?

    TV properly identifies 480i and 480p modes (i.e. I can see labels in the menu). But in _p_ mode I see deinterlacing "combs" - I guess it's like TV tries do deinterlace progressive scan...

    Hacking Wii region change?

    My (Pal) Wii has a red standby LED. And the only US Wii I've seen has a yellow one. Looks like noticeable hardware difference to me

    Homebrew Will I be able to play DVDs from video_ts folder on USB stick?

    I had that disk bootable on Mac for my experiments. But I reformatted it properly - i.e. mplayer_ce can access the files there. Still - it can't properly handle the DVD menus (http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/issues/detail?id=402&colspec=Type%20Status%20ID%20Summary)

    Hacking Wii region change?

    I have a Pal Wii with modchip. I bought it more then a year ago and I don't know what the chip is (it was premodded and I was too excited to ask ) Now I am in US and I bought a new HDTV. But it turned out US HDTV do not support Pal (our HDTVs worked with both Pal and NTSC). It even looks like...

    Hardware No 480p on HDTV?

    That's a new one. NSMB in 480p shows obvious interlace artifacts (teared image) while 480i is much more smooth. I guess the TV is trying to "improve" the picture...

    Hardware No 480p on HDTV?

    Hmm. For whatever reason 480p now works (I tried switching it on several time - this time I thought I will try switching the inputs once it goes black - but it didn't)... I guess the problem is with TV. Panasonic screen is gorgeous. But the software is utter crap. I had a Sony RPTV (like 4...

    Hardware No 480p on HDTV?

    I have a Pal Wii (brought it with me, it is modded - so I am not going to buy a new one). I have Panasonic P46G10 that I bought in US (obviously, it is NTSC). I became quite adept at navigating menus blindfolded so I can switch it to 480i - and at that that point I get a decent picture using...

    Homebrew Will I be able to play DVDs from video_ts folder on USB stick?

    mplayer CE does not play DVD menu from files (I guess it would only work from a disk)

    Homebrew Will I be able to play DVDs from video_ts folder on USB stick?

    I have a USB flash with 16Gb but it is formatted for Mac. I wonder if I can use some mplayer to play VIDEO_TS folder from that USB stick if I reformat it. I'm reluctant to try it as I'm not sure of the result
