    Is it possible to install Wii games as wads?

    slccmp is still a half-TB :) And the real problem is not size (the smallest Wii disc, which of course is the only physical VC release, would easily fit - and there are at least 2 very different implementations of emunand) but optical drive reads being completely different than working with the...

    Does anyone in the 20s or younger enjoy NES games?

    I did when I was 10 or whatever - of course I didn't really know what a NES was, just that this PolyStation 2 thing my neighbor had has a bunch of games including a less frustrating large screen version of Mario Deluxe a friend in elementary school had :D

    Homebrew How would you feel about music albums on the Nintendo DS?

    Do "the Chinese" even know how to make DS cards anymore? (DS bootlegs were a thing in the early DSi age but for over 10 years all that's been made is the lowest tier flashcards + factory reject microsd + a sticker not vaguely trying to hide it) Apart from that... sure it sounds stupid but hey...

    PS1/2 Questions about OPL devices compatibility and speed

    I had a CECH-C PS3 with the PS2 GPU, so it can run ps2_gxemu which is much superior, statistically, than the software emulation (ps2_netemu) any PS3 can do... except for OutRun 2006 having terribly broken graphics on gxemu, guess what it's one of the maybe 7 PS2 games I care about :) :( (In fact...

    PS1/2 Questions about OPL devices compatibility and speed

    In theory alone, yes - commercial titles expect 100% control on both CPU and coprocessor (IOP) side, so any additions (like OPL drivers, but could also be standalone GSM, action replay, etc) come with a risk of conflicts, and in particular OPL needs a lot of code in proportion to the 2 MB IOP...

    Emulate DVD Read Speed when loading games from Hard Disc - Original Xbox

    I think that, like OPL on the PS2, some bioses allow you to force IDE speed - though of course that's no "more accurate optical drive emulation" (there's no "inaccurate optical drive emulation" either, folder-type game backups run directly from the HDD as is possible by default in most computer...

    question about burned discs

    Cioscorp was exactly that (a CIOS, just the one as at that time there were no modern multi-base CIOSes, duplicated to cover all official IOS "numbers"/titleIDs), in fact at the time it was superior because 1- it works without Priiloader (actually at that time it would have been Preloader or...

    Emulation What are the emulation capability of a DSi? (2024)

    I just remembered that the first DSi enhanced emulator accessible to the masses is in fact a commercial one - Sonic Classics Collection, which despite still being inaccurate (it's a single-purpose special version of JenesisDS after all) does have a noticeable performance improvement in DSi mode :)

    Is this an old or a new bootleg?

    Since over 10 years have passed, I can say I did that in elementary school, with of course VBA + all Pokemon games including "Diamond" being the biggest hit - of course, at that time, 1 PC per decently off family was just becoming the standard and ADSL still a luxury often paid by the minute No...

    Emulation What are the emulation capability of a DSi? (2024)

    Not intrinsecally - sure it has double the clock and quadruple the RAM (so it can still be beaten on both fronts by a DS/Lite with the right accessories! :D ), but someone needs to sit down and do the work to use them And while since 2015/17/18 (depending on soldering skills and preinstalled...

    Testing the new EZ-Flash Parallel

    You know, at the very least since the first R4 flashcards have been advertising obvious/tautological claims to extend their list of features... ...including this one, a well solved issue by any Slot-1 card (or Slot-2 as long as a valid Slot-1 product is also inserted), well until this one :)...

    Unmod Wii

    Because that's what whoever wrote that site chose - a very good reason to take all "guides" critically, as people rarely learn the reasoning by merely following instructions written by someone else :) You want to duplicate a file on your PC: drag and drop? copy and paste? actual duplicate...

    Hardware Anybody ever heard of N-Cards?

    To pass the 23DSi whitelist, which covers the header and executables (therefore, relatively few games were used, as an "exploit" in them is needed to get it to run the actual loader and kernel afterwards!) (exploit in quotes because it's not necessarily something like Ninjhax, in the first...

    Hardware What is the rarest DS Flashcart?

    Lmao the pcmcia wifi card, I bought one in 2005 (for give or take 48 €) because my grandparents' neighbor had open wifi, which of course I found out using Mario Kart btw does your action replay, the red and brown one, have the slot for the original game in the boxy part? the small model (sticks...

    How did you choose your username and why?

    My name but with an Y :) Don't remember how I picked it though, just that I was into the iPhone scene so 2009-2011 (remember when they were small, "affordable", and with a good looking UI?), before that I used an Hotmail address with a stupid username and a Youtube (non-Google) account with an...

    Gaming Misc Project Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Languages?

    In fact "3 English versions" is not what it looks like, they certainly didn't bother changing colors to colours, AFAIK it's just one less stupid logo when you start the game ("esrb warning - game experience may change during online play", whatever that means at face value, I didn't notice any...

    I miss those old BBS forum like GBAtemp

    For me it has to do with the merging of the subforums :) :( And/or just the DS/Wii popularity having dipped? SBAllen (who's never been Ceejus) has very recently quit too :( And apparently in the whole 2010s I've been gone from it (not like I've returned) they: added real quotes to forums added...

    Looking for best DS/DSlite flash cart

    Well, as you may know it's a chip that can be configured to do "anything" within it's limits... and that most every DS flashcard uses one (or their relative-with-tradeoffs CPLD) as their main processor Conclusion - by itself it's a buzzword :)
