    LEGO unveils its upcoming LEGO Game Boy set

    Spelt is a type of grain. I'm a bit confused.

    What's your favourite OS ever?

    I probably enjoyed XP most for home use, but I'll always have fond memories of IRIX. Many hours have been spent running IRIX on an SGI Tezro.

    How can I be accepted here?

    I can relate! This is technically my second account though, my first was around to download GBA ROMs learn about games from this very site.

    April Direct predictions

    I'm hopeful for a Metroid Prime 4 update (although slightly pessimistic). I saw that Amazon started cancelling pre-orders. I'm wondering if it will possibly be a Switch 2 exclusive and preorders were cancelled because it is no longer just a Switch OG game?

    I love seeing repaired equipment instead of just replacing. Great work!

    Hacking Hardware Which premade picofly to buy?

    AliExpress is typically the best option in my experience. Similar to eBay, you should check individual seller ratings when buying, as well as how long that store has been in business. I typically stay away from any store that was very recently "opened."

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    Have you attempted with the version 1.85 fw linked earlier (page 8)? Not sure it will make a difference, but it is worth a shot and flashed to mine fine.

    Homebrew Burn2Slot - Re-programm GBA bootlegs on DS

    Saving works great now, but Metroid Zero Mission would tell me it was corrupt before patching with this patcher. This cart seems to use NOR flash in lieu of the SRAM to save. There does seem to be a SRAM chip on further inspection (EM611FV16) but it will lose the save after shutdown unless there...

    Homebrew Burn2Slot - Re-programm GBA bootlegs on DS

    This bootleg Pokemon Sapphire cart contains a 16MB/128Mb JS28F128 Intel chip (as of purchase within the last two weeks) and I was able to write Metroid Zero Mission without issue using this tool. Saving did not initially work natively, as expected without a battery for SRAM, but should work...

    Hardware What is the rarest DS Flashcart?

    I used to have a DS Link, it never really worked that well and game/homebrew compatibility was very poor. I would assume it is fairly uncommon since I can't even find anything about it anymore. It was one of the first Slot 1 carts for DS.

    Hacking Misc How to redownload games without logging into Eshop?

    Can't solicit for or provide links on where to illegally download games here. That said, outside of the previous owner helping you out, there isn't a whole lot you can do. If you go the route of CFW anyway, read up on this site as much as you can on the subject before beginning. There is a LOT...

    Are These Authentic GuliKit Hall Sensor Joycon Sticks?

    Unfortunately I can confirm that they were not authentic. It seems they are no longer for sale either. Luckily I got a full refund, so at least I have some spare replacement pieces for my joycons.

    Are These Authentic GuliKit Hall Sensor Joycon Sticks?

    I went ahead and ordered some to see what I get. I'll post back what I find!

    Are These Authentic GuliKit Hall Sensor Joycon Sticks?

    Hello all, I was eyeing the GuliKit hall effect joycon sticks on other sites (AKNES brand on Amazon) for a while and stumbled across a set on Temu that appear to use identical sensors (https://share.temu.com/mfoQwpqAAMA). Does anyone have any experience with these ones, or know if they are...

    Hogwarts Legacy Switch port gets delayed even further

    If you intentionally create a disproportionate experience in a game, either compared to rival software or hardware, you are automatically labelling it as not worth the time, effort, or money. If a modern movie didn't include voice, would it still be enjoyable? Maybe, maybe not. Movies were...

    Can other Switch models be modded with a "Lite" variation of modchip?

    Do you already have the lite specific chip? Have you considered Picofly? If you are doing the wiring yourself, Picofly is a more economical way to go.

    Editorial Can an Android phone be the perfect emulation handheld?

    Not sure why you are getting inflamed. It is ok if you need to re-read my posts. Also, back on topic, there was a very simple statement that 2DS was easiest. I can concur, and it makes little sense to degrade someone by interjecting points that are counter-intuitive, inflammatory, and off-topic.
