    Is Wii U Linux a thing?

    There's a port of the 4.19 Kernel to the Wii U, you can find it here: https://gitlab.com/linux-wiiu/linux-wiiu Let me give you a heads up, however: It can only use a single core of the PPC, it's unable to use the GPU so if you're trying to run graphical stuff on it it's going to be software...

    Hardware PD4Wii, PD4WiiU - A DIY USB-C replacement for the Wii and Wii U power adapter

    So turns out I've only got a notification about new posts in here now, wonderful... So anyway... Maybe? Entirely depends on if that charger supports outputting the required voltage and amperage. Check what's written on the back of the back or the specs sheet of the brick. For all we know you...

    Homebrew Is there an MPEG-4 Alternative of NTR CFW

    None that I'd know about and unless the 3DS has hardware accelerated video encoding hidden somewhere in it I doubt it would even be possible to realize this as it would just take too much computational power to pull off. On a New 3DS with it's better WiFi chip it might be possible to stream a...

    What Modchip is this?

    Well looking at the CPU on the board this is a PicoFly. Whoever produced this probably also made Instinct chips and wanted to re-use as much their existing board design as possible. The sams thing has happened with PicoFlys that look like HWFly chips too.

    Hacking Is 256 GB safe, and more!!

    The SD controller of the 3DS can theoretically handle up to 2 TB but as @Latiodile already said larger SD cards will make the 3DS take longer to boot. I am using a 200 GB card and its maybe a couple of seconds more. Once the OS has booted it's just as fast as it always was. Do keep in mind that...

    The picture represents the male connector (the one on the PSU itself). It would be wrong from your point of view because you're looking at the female connector. I've attached a picture of the "official" pinout found on the EUR power brick which shows the same layout I've used.

    "Ad Blockers Are Not Allowed on YouTube" warning showing up now

    Haven't seen any of those pop-ups just yet. I'm using uBlock + Firefox on PC and Android. To be honest I'd be happy to pay for Premium (especially since they started to roll out the 1080p Premium Bitrate options now) but Google only offers three methods of payment here of which all three aren't...

    Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with things. First off try to use solder that melts at a low temperature (there's some that claim to melt at a temperature of about 80 °C which would be below the melting point of ABS plastic) and use a soldering iron which allows you to control the...

    Hardware PD4Wii, PD4WiiU - A DIY USB-C replacement for the Wii and Wii U power adapter

    Don't really have a recommendation for a charge brick. Even launch day Wiis run fine with 3A so you don't have to go out of your way to find a QC Charger that supports 12V @ 5A. I really don't think I'll be creating a dongle for the Gamepad anytime soon especially since I already modded mine...

    Semi-final update. Finally fixed my printer yesterday and did some test prints of the plug using PETG instead of PLA. Worked out just as I wanted it, it's much stronger now which for obvious reasons that's great. Will probably rework the OP today or tomorrow. Just have to make pictures of the...

    Hardware PD4Wii, PD4WiiU - A DIY USB-C replacement for the Wii and Wii U power adapter

    Very nice find that power plug. Here's a fun fact: the very first version of PD4WiiU used that exact same decoy but then I ditched it in favor of the PDC004 due to it's smaller footprint. As for the total power consumption: Assuming you haven't made any mods to bypass the 500mA limit on the USB...

    The PFS0 section of the NCA article on Switchbrew has some info that might be useful for you. https://switchbrew.org/wiki/NCA#PFS0 The FF's in the file are probably the removed certificate, console ID and so on.

    Well, it's been a while. I've gotten the boards a couple of days ago but I've been too busy until now to actually put the thing together. I just finished putting the first ZYPDH based dongle together and it's working as expected. Might just be me but I have the feeling that the handshake between...

    Things might just actually go faster than expected, I just received an status update on the shipment that it cleared customs today so maybe I'll have a working protoype at the end of this week. I've made some very minor adjustments to the shell making it possible to also use the PDC004 from the...

    Hardware PD4Wii, PD4WiiU - A DIY USB-C replacement for the Wii and Wii U power adapter

    I don't think removing the screws in favor of a design that uses clips would really save that much space (maybe 1mm at most) to be honest with you. That design has about the size of a Switch game cart and they're already pretty small. Most of the added width comes from the changes I made to how...

    Hardware PD4Wii, PD4WiiU - A DIY USB-C replacement for the Wii and Wii U power adapter

    Well, I just ordered one of those ZYPDH QC5 Decoys from AliExpress. Looking at the specs of QC4.0 and QC5.0 listed on Wikipedia, 15v 5A seems to be possible using it so let's see how it goes. Just gotta wait for the thing to travel across the world now. They do claim to have it at my doorstep...

    Hardware PD4Wii, PD4WiiU - A DIY USB-C replacement for the Wii and Wii U power adapter

    I'd probably go with the approach you mentioned before. Using a decoy to trigger 20v at 5A and then stepping it down to 15v for use with the Wii U. I was just looking up other versions of USB-PD to see if there's versions of the protocol to allow native 15v @ 5A but for some reason above 3A is...

    Hardware PD4Wii, PD4WiiU - A DIY USB-C replacement for the Wii and Wii U power adapter

    From all my testing the Wii U never went above ~30w power consumption even when playing demanding games like Breath of the Wild so even being limited to 3A should leave more than enough head room (Things might look different when someone overclocks the GPU using de_fuse, though.) That being...
