    Better Stereoscopic 3D Patches/Cheat Codes Releases, development and discussion

    For a moment I thought it enabled 3D in the game, but it just enables the parallax barrier...

    Is this d2ePro modchip properly installed?

    Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately that chip is the d2cPro GW-619, while mine is a d2ePro GW-609A. If you look at the pictures, it has waaay more cables than mine (d2ePro has 9 in total). I, however noticed that the chip has a very similar install layout to the Wasabi modchip: I'm wondering...

    Is this d2ePro modchip properly installed?

    Hi, so I took my Wii for a repair in a local shop, they said they would try to fix it without fully replace the DVD drive (it was cheaper to get a another Wii at that point), but they failed. However, I think the modchip is installed differently now, I see that it is in another place and the...

    Hardware Has anyone heard of a D2EPro Modchip?

    Same, with that info lost, I think this modchip is essentially useless.

    Hardware Wii Modchip Identification Guide

    I have the same modchip as faruk1986. I can't find much info online about it... got a Wii that I opened it up and I'm wondering if the installation was done correctly (will upload pictures later, right now it is being reviewed by a repair shop). Can the firmware in this thing be updated? It is...

    CDRDAO Fork Which Can Burn PSX Games Containing EDC-Based Anti-Piracy Detection Correctly

    This looks good, I have an older computer that has a CD-R burner, but that system is 32-bits. it also runs older Linux so while this is appreciated I think a 32 bit version will be more useful (besides, it would work in 64-bit system as well). EDIT: I think you said that 1.2.5 does have the...

    Gaming Homebrew Why EA games on Wii U have such terrible FPS?

    Because like I wrote up there, when you measure GPU usage the performance slows down in a lot of games. Only CPU usage has no additional performance impact. Other games like BoTW run almost without overhead. If you want to accurately measure the frame-rate you should use a raw capture of the...

    Gaming Homebrew Why EA games on Wii U have such terrible FPS?

    Papaya HUD is not very accurate when measuring the GPU, a lot of games slow down to a crawl when doing it since it requires extra resources. CPU usage is accurate because it uses native syscalls. EDIT:NFS MWU was actually a good port, but AC3 for example was a shitty one. It doesn't help that...

    Sonic Unleashed HD on Wii U

    Many things to say here. First... the decomp project only decompile to x86 platforms due to the intrinsics , so it will not work straight up with the Wii U since it's PPC. Second, the generated code is not aimed to be human-readable. so it will be an even bigger pain in the ass to port it...

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    In short, since it uses the same Switch OS which is not software moddeable then it is useless to keep it on launch firmware?

    Misc My experience on using Liquid Metal on the Wii U for 6 months or so

    Thanks for the answer, I was wondering because even with Sony's foam seal around the die the LM drips above it, of course not all PS5s do this, but there are a few that do (my guess because the liquid metal layer is thicker than it should be, and the excess starts leaking). My idea was to put LM...

    Misc My experience on using Liquid Metal on the Wii U for 6 months or so

    I have a question with liquid metal, but is it true that it can leak if you use the console vertically? Some PS5 have this problem where the manufacturer put a bit more LM than it should and produces this problem when using it in a vertical way. The reason I ask is because I want to go with the...

    Switch 2 will be successful as the Wii U

    While people was dumb enough to think Wii U was more of an accessory rather than a successor to the Wii, and the 3DS was just a OG DS but with 3D, that didn't stop the latter to sell more of less well (half the DS). I don't think though that naming is a problem, since 3DS sold decently well...

    [Question] Possible to disable backlight to give the screen a GameBoy-like look?

    It was a backlight though, but yes the rest is correct.

    [Question] Possible to disable backlight to give the screen a GameBoy-like look?

    I searched on Reddit about it, and they say that on 3DS the backlight is still on, the screen image just goes black. So far, it seems that it's not possible to do. EDIT: Here is a video even: My thoughts were (since I don't really know how the older screens worked) that they were similar to...

    [Question] Possible to disable backlight to give the screen a GameBoy-like look?

    So, basically I saw the OG GameBoy looks great when direct sun-light hits the screen, but not so much when no light is in the ambience because lack of backlight. My question is, is it possible to turn off the backlight completely off so it will look better when direct sunlight hits the screen...

    [Curiosity] What happens if you remove the New 3DS flag on New 3DS titles and run them on Old 3DS?

    I see, so they just throw an ARM11 exception on Luma3DS or something like that?

    [Curiosity] What happens if you remove the New 3DS flag on New 3DS titles and run them on Old 3DS?

    Basically, I was messing around with New Super Ultimate injector and found this: There is an option to remove the New 3DS exclusive flag, potentially making the system to attempt to run Minecraft on Old 3DS. Now, I'm fully aware it will run terrible, and it will probably crash because it will...

    is it safe to have this kind of battery?

    It's ok, my GBA SP has a battery like that, problem is that the cables are soldered so you need to rip them off and probably need to clean the tin from the contacts when you replace the battery. Idk why people solder batteries like that... it's horrible.

    GBA VC Official software emulator?

    All right, yeah, that looks terrible considering it's at N3DS speeds. I thought I searched hard enough and yet I couldn't find that video... I was looking to some better developed emulators on the 3DS, and they seem to use a dynarec instead of just natively executing ARM7 instructions on the...
