    Switch-OC-Suite

    Given that TOTK seems to run nearly a perfect 30 FPS with only RAM OC on Erista, can I ask a couple of questions regarding 'safe' OC and combinations of OC on CPU, GPU and RAM? I know that no OC is perfectly 'safe', that's obvious. But I want to see whether the following combination is too...

    What do you do after installing a HWFLY chip?

    Can I ask if one can also boot into OFW without issues using a modchip (ie update OFW, play online games etc) or is it not advisable (eg ban possibility, possibility an update will render HWFly 4.1 unusable etc.?) Also, can one use EmuNAND with HwFly? Wondering because I have a softmod but...

    "New" Hwfly OLED/Core V5 Chip is Out on Aliexpress

    Does that extent to the 4.1 Lite chip too? I purchased it assuming it is an improvement on v4.0. Can you clarify what is the difference between BGA/QFN and why would it matter?

    Accidentally restored BOOT0/1 to SYS instead of EMUMMC

    Okay to answer everyone's Qs: Yes the system was 'soft-bricked' as there was a version mismatch. But I found the relevant BOOT0/1 backups and restored it and got it working again. So everything was solved - and I was glad I had my backup files handy.

    Accidentally restored BOOT0/1 to SYS instead of EMUMMC

    Can I ask if this is a problem - ie that it might affect my use of SYSNAND in any way? What are my options if so? Or are BOOT0/1 unchanging - ie there is no problem as long as I have restored my backups?

    New PS5 beta update tests out UI changes and voice commands

    Do we know if Sony has fixed yet the multiple USB external drives issue? On PS4, more than one external drives can be chosen as the external that is mounted at any time. You do not have to unplug them physically. On PS5, the drive has to be physically unplugged before another can be mounted...

    Does anyone in the UK install modchips for the Switch Lite?

    As per question. If not allowed, please delete this for me with apologies. I have some experience on my own, but I am kind of afraid of doing it myself.

    Is it possible for someone to clarify what this entails for those who use Hekate and who need to bypass Tinfoil's security checks for Atmosphere?

    Zelda-inspired action-adventure title 'XEL' announced; launches on PC and Consoles in 2022

    Or.. you can just admit that you are wrong in this case, and show some maturity. No one forced you into this mistake... You were wrong from the outset and bitter about something with no reason to be so. You are better than this. Admit your mistake and let's all move on.

    Nintendo Switch sales surpass 89 million, has outsold both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3

    I still don't see the point why anyone would need streaming video on the Switch. It doesn't have 3G/4G cellular capabilities. If you are at home you already have a bunch of other devices already more capable of playing streaming content. If you are out and about, WiFi becomes a limitation and...

    Polymega console to start shipping next month for early pre-orders

    Exactly my sentiments as Mario5555. There are alternatives to Polymega, but unless one wants to go full emulation, none of these alternatives is truly superior to the Polymega, either in terms of price, or space, or ease, or combination thereof. Not saying Polymega is a holy grail, but I have...

    Polymega console to start shipping next month for early pre-orders

    I'm aware of most of these solutions, and I will look into salvaging my systems. The point was to keep using the original media however. These modifications would allow me to run ROMs instead. The Polymega seems like a decent bridge for using my current media. After all, I also do emulation and...

    Polymega console to start shipping next month for early pre-orders

    Still, we are comparing apples to oranges. Many of these old consoles are now past the point of servicability. I recently lost my Sega Saturn as the drive no longer reads discs. My Atari Jaguar CD unit also kicked the bucket a few years ago. My Playstation original needs to be put upside down to...

    Hacking Hackable PS3 models and information

    I have a first gen phat that is just about ready to die. For some odd reason it plays PS2 games just fine. But with PS3 games it ylods and turns off within 10-15 minutes depending on how 3d intensive the game is. Gran Turismo kills it in like 30 seconds. Can I salvage this PS3 to use for homebrew?

    Polymega console to start shipping next month for early pre-orders

    I had never heard of this before but had a look at their website and if their product actually does what it says then it is very far from what another poster here described as another "android emulation" system. The idea that one system can play all original games from NES to Saturn, using our...

    Hacking Using an SSD, or SSHD vs an HDD with USB Loader GX / Nintendont: Any benefits?

    I wanted to let people know that I actually did try this. I now use a cheap (relatively speaking) 512GB SSD (a Sandisk Ultra) and I was able to compare loading times between a traditional HDD (5200 RPM) and a SSHD (an old Seagate SSHD with 8GB flash). Are the differences huge? No. But initial...

    Nintendo officially reveals the OLED model Nintendo Switch console

    I think many of us here forget that both the original Switch is underclocked, and so is the new Mario Switch - underclocked and due to thermals able to go even further theoretically in terms of performance. We don't know yet if Nintendo has improved thermals, but in theory if they have made...

    The original DS also had backlight. I don't know what you are talking about.

    Nintendo officially reveals the OLED model Nintendo Switch console

    Incorrect. OLED does have increased risk of burn in. My Samsung Galaxy S6 had burn-in on the top area of notifications; my Huawei P20 Pro also had burn-in in the same area. Maybe new panels are improved, but it is certainly a problem.
