    Homebrew Discussion Switch overclocking released (improved N64 & PSX emu)

    True, but that is why you do not overclock blindly, you stability test, check temps, ideally check power consumption and thermals of the VRMs. Everything except the latter two things were confirmed as having been done on the emulators in question, and the immeasurable change in battery life...

    Hacking Discussion Let the bannings begin

    This is why I hope people consider using Linux instead of a hacked OS to run homebrew. There shouldn't be any way for Nintendo to detect you are booting into Linux if it doesn't touch the eMMC, thus avoiding banning. Its less convenient, but surely worth it to be able to just use a single...

    Homebrew Is there an Amiga emulator for 3DS?

    I have tried emulators on my phone, they suck without proper controls. The weight alone of my phone causes it to slip out of my fingers when trying to align correctly with the touch controls, your thumbs are blocking the screen and the controller I have doesn't seem to be supported in any of...

    Hacking Question do you ever think it will be possible to overclock on switch?

    Its most likely that in Linux it will already be doing this as the kernel is designed to dynamically adjust the clock speed based on load. Nintendo built the Switch to last, I'm almost certain that Nintendo only kept the clocks this low for battery life (but in portable and maintaining capacity...

    Gaming Is the Switch future compatible with a new digital-only infrastructure for Gen 9th consoles?

    We already see it though, you can buy top-up cards at your local supermarket in a lot of places. If we do lose physical media what I would like to see are gaming cafes open up doing deals with the distributors so they have a local cache of the latest games negating the need for fast broadband...

    Homebrew Is there an Amiga emulator for 3DS?

    This is literally the only platform I'm that interested in emulating and of course that means its the one that isn't. :( Oh well, at least it might come to the Switch although until there is an easy way to dual-boot without plugging into a computer I won't be touching that as I don't want to...

    Gaming Is the Switch future compatible with a new digital-only infrastructure for Gen 9th consoles?

    My point is I think there are more of them then they think. A sale is a sale, there is no record if that sale was from a low-income individual thanks to trading in old games. There have been many many occasions where I have traded in used games to buy something unrelated, and thanks to that...

    Gaming Is the Switch future compatible with a new digital-only infrastructure for Gen 9th consoles?

    Sadly the UK/EU never got those good rewards, but even if we did its not a priority when you are on a low income. Just being able to play the game is top priority. Like I said, I have been on both sides myself and know people who only moved from piracy thanks to the second-hand market.

    Gaming Is the Switch future compatible with a new digital-only infrastructure for Gen 9th consoles?

    Which is NOT an incentive to start PAYING for games when you can get them for FREE. I was one of those people in Xbox days with sod-all income and downloading everything. The only games I bought were Burnout so I could play online. Granted if I hadn't pirated those games initially I would...

    Gaming Is the Switch future compatible with a new digital-only infrastructure for Gen 9th consoles?

    Problem is it can be too late by the time they decide. Once people have hacked their console and start pirating games, there is no incentive to stop doing it until the next console comes out. That said, PSN has started having some half-decent sales, Nintendo are a little behind (as usual)...

    Gaming Is the Switch future compatible with a new digital-only infrastructure for Gen 9th consoles?

    Nintendo profit either way as they are getting a cut via the eStore. The only thing cartridges are doing is inflating download prices due to wanting to keep price parity across both formats. There has been plenty of complaints about this resulting in Switch games costing more than other platforms.

    Gaming Is the Switch future compatible with a new digital-only infrastructure for Gen 9th consoles?

    That's a huge generalisation. I have known plenty of low-income console gamers who can only afford to game thanks to the second hand market. Publishers are probably dismissing those as not making money off them, but that isn't strictly true either as they do BUY DLC and if its a game they...

    Hacking Is it possible to make a TP-Link into a Homepass?

    As above, on Windows XP, unlikely. You should however be able to achieve it under Linux but its going be a bit of a learning curve for you. ;)

    Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

    OpenWRT Use the web UI to setup a wireless network (primary or an additional ssid, it doesn't matter) with the ssid attwifi. If you do not mind not being able to use Nintendo Zone then you CAN use encryption. However if you do, make sure you add the encrypted attwifi network to your 3DS...

    Gaming 3DS 3D Screenshots Wii/GC Games

    Hey, I didn't mean before Sonic Adventure 2 Mind you, I hope Nintendo can speed up the image viewer somewhat, it takes AGES to load since adding the Starfox Adventures set. Mind you, I suppose I can just keep my favourites and delete the rest.

    Gaming 3DS 3D Screenshots Wii/GC Games

    I suppose it might be interesting to see how Super Monkey Ball converted compared to Super Monkey Ball 3D. I was really disappointed with the 3DS version, it should have had more mini games especially as they could have developed some AR games in there. I will only buy a new Monkey Ball if its...

    Gaming 3DS 3D Screenshots Wii/GC Games

    How? There is no emulator for that to run on. That always puzzled me actually. The Xbox must be the easiest console EVER to emulate on PC as mostly it would just be API translation not emulation, yet nobody bothered. There were just a couple of early development emulators that never panned...

    Gaming 3DS 3D Screenshots Wii/GC Games

    Its curious you mention 3D Vision not officially supporting OpenGL as I think it IS meant to be supported on Linux and that HAS to be under OpenGL, there really are no other options. That said, I have never heard of anyone with such a configuration, but then I had never heard of anyone who...

    Gaming 3DS 3D Screenshots Wii/GC Games

    A huge thanks for doing these screenshots. After playing Rayman 3D I suspected Starfox Adventures would be impressive as being able to sense the distance/size of the environment is awesome. Incidentally, what settings are you using? Is it the Direct X graphics driver, as I am stuck with...
