    Hardware I stripped a screw

    Why do you even need to remove that? That screw only holds in the joy-con rail, did you break that and want to replace it? If you want to open your switch for whatever reason you just need to remove the middle screws on the side.

    ROM Hack sky3ds diskwriter python clone (for linux & osx)

    Since nothing changed about the hardware it should still work fine.

    Hacking Sky3DS Utility for Mac OS X and GNU/Linux

    Mh I see that you basically just took the code that I (and NoSmokingBandit - thanks for the GUI) have written, and put it into a nice package (+translations). I have to say that I don't have anything against this (and it's allowed by the license i used), but your post made it look like you'd...

    ROM Hack sky3ds diskwriter python clone (for linux & osx)

    Hey, no problem ;) Yea this thing can work as a complete replacement for the normal DiskWriter utility. You can place a new template file and it will convert it to its own format automatically (still needs to be directly from sky3ds because of the unknown 16 bytes - that i assume are a...

    Hardware Wii Controller NES-Controller-Mod

    So mh, build this for myself, thought i may as well share it here (there are probably already tons of mods like these...) It's basically the PCB of a wiimote (with a cut off camera/dpad section) that is directly wired to the traces of the buttons on the NES controller. In addition I added a...

    ROM Hack sky3ds diskwriter python clone (for linux & osx)

    I suggest adding a very small game as first game on the sdcard, and every time you want to change something about games or savegames on the card switch to that game before pulling the sdcard out of the sky3ds. I have lost so many savegames because I didn't switch the game first (it seems to...

    Mhkay, i'll write it on the list of things i have to check.

    Or wait... mh... maybe diskutil_output already is a bytearray... mh... no idea.

    ROM Hack sky3ds diskwriter python clone (for linux & osx)

    Python 3 needs it as bytearray, Python 2 as string. I changed the number of bytes that is read and written at once, that speeds it up on some computers, but i don't like the feel of the progress bar, it just feels wrong if it doesn't refresh fast enough. Don't know if i'm ever going to...

    ROM Hack sky3ds diskwriter python clone (for linux & osx)

    Was able to reproduce the problem, is fixed in newest version. Edit: And yes, writing could be slower. I changed the chunksize to a higher value now, it may be faster, but progressbar is now likely to behave a bit... well... not that "fluent" anymore... especially with slower sdcards. But i...

    Fixed it. It's problematic to write code without being able to really test it ;) I'll take a look at your code in a minute, but I guess i'll go sleep a bit before merging anything into the git repository.

    ROM Hack sky3ds diskwriter python clone (for linux & osx)

    Okay, I guess i have found the problem... should've removed the dummy-exception for the missing feature... The return statement made the function end before it would reach this part of the code... so now it should work.

    That is exactly what i had before!?! Also the return is not needed.

    diskutil better... pah! On Linux you just go into /sys/class/block and baam, there are all devices that are recognized as blockdevices, containing files with information about basically anything you may ever want to know about a disk, including what physical device it is, was size it is, if...

    I only had the output of the "diskutil list -plist" available, guessed it would be the same with disk as parameter, but seems i was wrong. Will fix it soon (uh dangerous word).

    ROM Hack sky3ds diskwriter python clone (for linux & osx)

    I mean, this is more or less a temporary solution, and the plist parsing wasn't a problem, 3 lines of code or so, mostly copied from an older project. What I kinda still want is a feature to check if a partition on a disk is mounted, as some kind of security feature, so people don't try to...
