    Hacking Checking version numbers for Wii U ,game updates

    If I have a downloaded Wii U game update from the NUS CDN in encrypted format (*.app, *.h3, title.*), is there a way to check the version number of the update? Similarly, is there a way to check the latest version number of an update from NUS? Goal: to determine if I have the latest set of...

    Hacking Question Any advantage to a Switch on OFW 3.0?

    A couple of years ago I bought an extra Switch on firmware 3.0, which I have kept boxed up ever since. This was because I read that this was the magic firmware to stay at if hoping for a fully software untethered coldboot exploit (no jig, no chip, no USB). Is this still the case? Is there any...

    Hardware Joycons grips should have electronics in them to mark L and R as a pair

    Please note that in the below I've only had experience of the non-charging Joycon grip that comes with the console: At the moment, if you have your Joycon L and Joycon R as two individual controllers, e.g. held sideways for multiplayer, then insert them into the grip, the Switch doesn't "know"...

    Hardware Right Joycons now weaker wireless than left?

    I have tested four pairs of Joycons with two Switches, and in all cases the right Joycons have considerably weaker wireless than the left. Is anyone else seeing this? Specifically, the test I did was to use the built-in controller button test in Settings, with the Switch volume turned up, then...

    Hacking Wii U system menu mods possible?

    Is it possible yet, of does anyone know if is working on it, to mod the system menu or launcher or whatever you want to call it? If we ever get to that point, there are a few things I'd like to see: More separation between user profiles, so individual games can be hidden on some profiles. E.g...

    Hacking Any hacks or mods to change saves to per-profile rather than shared?

    Do we have the ability to modify or hack games to change how or where they save? Some games, e.g. Yoshi's Woolly World, save into the "shared" or "common" area (not sure if that's the proper name) rather than each Wii U profile having its own saves. If you've got several people playing the game...

    Hacking OFW region needs to match hardware region?

    I'm trying to update my PSP fat (1000-series) from 5.00 M33-6 to a newer CFW, probably 6.61 PRO-C2. According to several guides, the first step is to update to OFW 6.61. Guides usually link to https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/system-updates/psp/ Now, the thing is that I have a UK PSP...

    Hacking Worth making Pandora battery for brick protection on a PSP phat?

    I am new to the PSP scene I've just picked up a PSP phat (1000) that the previous owner had installed 5.00 M33-6 CFW onto. This is working fine but I'm looking into upgrading the firmware. I realise that we no longer use Pandora batteries to mod PSPs, but one can be useful to recover a bricked...

    Gaming Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE - Why no title update in EUR?

    Just looking at Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, I notice that the JPN and USA versions both have a title update available, but the EUR version does not. Anyone know why? What was in the TU? The USA and EUR versions were released at the same time, so it's not as if the EUR version was released later...

    Homebrew Verify WUP Installer files?

    Is there already, or is it technically possible to create, an app to verify that games in WUP Installer format (i.e. *.app, *.h3, title.cert, title.tik, title.tmd) have all files present and correct? I had a problem installing a couple of titles, which after a lot of checking (and unnecessary...

    Hacking How to be notified of title updates?

    I have used disc2app to install my retail games onto USB. All of them are currently up-to-date, but if I use the DNS block I won't be notified of title updates by Nintendo. So, is there another way to check for title updates, either via some Homebrew on the console itself, or by subscribing to...

    Homebrew Suggest use SD:\wiiu\install instead of SD:\install

    It may be too long established and too hard to change this, but if I may make a suggestion: It seems better to me if the "install" folder that disc2app and WUP Installer uses was a subfolder of the "wiiu" folder, so sitting side-by-side with "apps". It could be called "install" or maybe...

    Hardware Unable to system update from 4.1.0, error 162-4065

    I have an old Wii U which has never been connected to the Internet, and never modded, which is on firmware 4.1.0E (was updated from a Mario Kart 8 disc). I have just for the first time connected it to the Internet and attempted a system update. It downloads it OK and then tries to apply it. The...

    ROM Hack Port Zelda MM n3DS/CPP controls to OOT?

    Having played Majora's Mask 3D before Ocarina of Time 3D, I miss the manual camera control that is possible in MM, but not in OOT, using the right analog stick on an n3DS or Circle Pad Pro. Assuming the two games use a very similar engine, has anyone looked into whether it's possible to port...

    Hacking Selling A9LH 3DS, preparation, what to supply?

    I have an o3DS XL that I'm thinking of selling. It has a NAND reading/writing hardmod, and has A9LH setup, with Luma3DS on sysnand, from following the Plailect guide. I have system transferred it to my n3DS XL and also moved the contents of the SD card to my new console. The o3DS XL now has...

    Hardware Broken Wii DVD drive ribbon cable retaining flap

    Hi. I have a Wii which has got a broken "retaining flap" on the connector on the DVD drive where the data ribbon cable is plugged in. To be clear, I mean the flap being manipulated in these two photos from https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairing+Nintendo+Wii+Drive+Board+Fuses/4029 step 22: and...

    Not mentioning torrent sites

    Hi, In thread http://gbatemp.net/threads/vwii-tri-core-linux.351024/ TeamScriptKiddies and Ninja_Carver have put together a Linux distribution that works in vWii mode on a Wii U. This can be distributed legally as a torrent, but the forum rules say: Surely if the torrent itself is legal, it...

    Hacking List of system updates on disc games?

    Is there already somewhere a list of which system update is included on which disc-based game? For example, I hear that Mario Kart 8 includes system update 4.1. Are there any other games that contain 4.1?

    Hacking GBC/GBA combined flash cart?

    I'm interested in playing both GBC and GBA games on my GBA. Is there any flash cart that is GBA-cartridge sized but which can play both GBA and GBC roms? That is, I'd rather not buy a GBC-specific flash cart like the Everdrive GB as I dislike the way it sticks out of the GBA.

    Hacking Dumping Wii U NAND via SD card adapter

    Is it possible to dump the Wii U NAND (not the vWii NAND) using a soldered SD card adapter, just as is possible on 3DS? See http://gbatemp.net/threads/nand-flash-dump-3ds-xl.350668/ and http://gbatemp.net/threads/nand-flash-dump-3ds.353263/ I realise that there's no hack for the Wii U yet, but...
