    Homebrew NUSspli - Install content directly from the Nintendo Update Servers to your Wii U

    Bug report: I use NUSspli using Homebrew Launcher and it forced me to update but every time it said the date and time were wrong. They were accurate to the minute. I manually downloaded the new version 1.146 and replaced the wiiu/apps/nusspli folder on my SD. Every time I launch it it tries once...

    "GBA Link Connection" homebrew libraries now allows sending multiboot ROMs via the GBA's Link Cable or Wireless Adapter

    A multiboot program is one that entirely fits within and is executed from the 256KB of external work RAM of the GBA. The GBA has a further 32KB of internal work RAM which this code can use while running. This means the GBA can run it with no cart inserted. If you boot a GBA with Start+Select...

    "GBA Link Connection" homebrew libraries now allows sending multiboot ROMs via the GBA's Link Cable or Wireless Adapter

    The thing is, cool as this is as a tech demo, if you have multiboot programs on your flashcart, there is no need for this since you can safely pull out the cart when they're loaded. So imagine you want to load a multiboot game or emulator+ROM on a friend's GBA - you can just hand them your cart...

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    After painstakingly chipping away at this I'm proud to have been able to add Adaptoid support: https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/pull/42 It works perfectly in the Wii U port of Super Mario 64, and in Wii U titles, but for some reason I have yet to understand it only buffers the...

    Yes. You may be interested in this collection of emulators, all exit patched so they can quit back to the EZ-Flash menu. https://github.com/patters-match/gba-ezflash-iv-emulators

    ROM Hack Doom 1 GBA PC Doom Total Conversion just gives blank screen

    I can confirm - doesn't work on my 3DS either. Fine on actual GBA.

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    I have been working on modifying controller_patcher to support multibyte stick input and non-byte-aligned data. Both are necessary for the Adaptoid which uses a pair of 12bit signed values for its axes. I have built the library, and built HID-to-VPAD around it but there are some issues with it...

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    I did some experiments with my Adaptoid and I have determined how it works. I wrote it up here on the controller_patcher GitHub: https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/issues/23 HID-to-VPAD uses controller_patcher. The issue is that the controller_patcher code assumes 8bit values. The...

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    I have just noticed that this doesn't seem to work with a Wavebird connected to the official Nintendo GameCube controller adaptor for Wii U. Yet the same setup works fine for Nintendont. I see the receiver's LED when I press buttons, but HID to VPAD just doesn't detect the presses. Does this...

    Homebrew Ship of Harkinian (Ocarina of Time) Wii U Port

    I couldn't find information on how to extract the OTR using MacOS anywhere so I'm posting here to help others - hopefully it should show up in a web search at least. I had tried to run the OTRGui.exe tool in a Windows 10 Virtual Box VM but even that wouldn't work, it failed at the point it was...

    Ezflash IV NOR flash usually boots to black screen

    I vaguely remember having lots of issues with the NOR on the older firmwares, but it has been fine on the latest. Might be that?

    Super Goomba 2.0

    Nice - I had long been meaning to capture a better standard green palette than the pea soup one.

    Hardware EZ flash IV bricked

    AFAIK you will need to find a 2GB FAT16 formatted SD card in order to re-flash the boot loader. It can't work from an SDHC card. It's a limitation of the fact that the card was designed before SDHC, and the firmware was updated to support it later. Flashing the firmware however, remains...

    Homebrew Nintendont not saving settings?

    Having just run into this issue and found no proper answer, I eventually figured it out - so I thought it would be useful to actually post the solution. The confusion seems to occur because there are two ways to exit the settings screen. If you press Home then it seems to exit the Settings menu...

    Thoughts/Review of Funnyplaying's GBA button sets?

    In my experience the repros are never quite right, especially dpads. Even quite badly scuffed original buttons clean up beautifully by working through the grains of wet & dry sandpaper and finally polishing with PolyWatch acrylic polish and a rag, with some pressure. A small sample of various...

    NeoDS not working.

    The conversion tool is quite bad at catching and reporting errors. If your BIOS ROM isn't right it won't work, there's a file named as .sfix which needs renaming to .sfx in the zip. Also the zip files must contain no folder structure.

    Tutorial NeoDS - A Guide to Using One of the Greatest DS Emulators

    Sure 1698787784 Interesting development. I have re-checked my DS Lite. Its microSD is in fact 32GB with 16KB clusters (I had thought it was 8GB), and NeoDS works fine with it. So perhaps it's only 32KB clusters and above that breaks NeoDS. I have updated my test results above.

    Tutorial NeoDS - A Guide to Using One of the Greatest DS Emulators

    Presumably this dependency on smaller cluster size is because the libfat version in those old builds of NeoDS was so old it pre-dated widespread use of 32KB or larger cluster size. My testing of the established historic NeoDS builds reveals the following: ✅ DS Lite with EZ-Flash 3in1 and...

    Sony announces new PlayStation 5 model, offers detachable disc drive for digital consoles

    Same. I bought a PS4 specifically for The Last Guardian and for No Man's Sky (I had an Xbox One because I had a 360 and my friends went that way). I consider Ico and Shadow of the Colossus my two favourite games, and The Last Guardian is I think the only PS4 game I have finished. So when...
