    Ryujinx emulator taken down after devs reach agreement with Nintendo

    Yes and no... Yes in the sense that it is Nintendo's right to aggressively go after emulators and pirated roms, but more importantly the Switch is still Nintendo's main supported console. They are still making and releasing 1st party games for Switch, and the eShop on Switch is still being...

    ROM Hack Translation Metroid: Other M - True Japanese Mod (English Fan Translation)

    AWESOME! How are the timings of the subtitles in the Japanese rom? In the US version I had to be careful because the subtitles in the US are timed to the English voice lines. Does playing the Japanese version with English subs time the text with the Japanese voices?

    ROM Hack Translation Metroid: Other M - True Japanese Mod (English Fan Translation)

    Because not everyone is able or willing to get their hands on the Japanese version of the game, or a Japanese Wii to play it on native hardware. And I had the USA version already, so might as well try and make it work. Since the Japanese version has no issues with the FMV's and voiceovers, it...

    3DS homebrew tool FBI title manager removed from GitHub

    Absolutely on both yours and Maverick's reply. We've really taken the emulation scene for granted without considering the legal consequences, to the point where I'd rather it go back to being a more obscure hobby. The more mainstream people try to jump into emulation and exploit it for money...

    DraStic DS Emulator on Android is now free to download, will be taken down soon

    Very much so. One of the big Switch 2 rumors going around is that Nintendo showed off BOTW running at 4K 60fps in a closed door meeting to developers. Whichever way this is implemented, this would put the Switch 2 in direct competition with the exact features that Yuzu was advertising. And to...

    The Nintendo Switch 2 has been delayed to 2025, according to reports

    Funny that your only point about a Switch 2 not having backwards compatibility is that "there's no more old Wii U gamez. They need old games to sell Switch 2!" ...You completely forgot about the OTHER Nintendo system of that generation that also had it's eShop shut down. A system that already...

    The Nintendo Switch 2 has been delayed to 2025, according to reports

    Modern Vintage Gamer is an idiot. You are talking about a company that soldered a whole entire Wii OS onto the Wii U just to have Backwards Compatibility - a console which had a Gamepad that completely blew up its production cost.

    ROM Hack Translation Metroid: Other M - True Japanese Mod (English Fan Translation)

    Thank you! Yeah, the issue is that I can't find those files at all. And to try and have Riivolution replace them, I would need to know their exact name and location anyway. I'm guessing they're compressed somewhere in one of the hard-to-reach folders. Though, it is a somewhat minor issue at...

    Where do you buy used tech from?

    I used to get fantastic deals at Goodwill, but they pulled almost all of their games and consoles a couple years ago so that they could cash in on the retro game bubble. That place has sucked since. Today, I either shop on eBay or take a trip to a couple malls that I know of that have a retro...

    The Nintendo Switch 2 has been delayed to 2025, according to reports

    "Our unnamed sources familiar with the matter say that Switch Pro 2 is delayed until 2025." **Sweaty grifters huddle around each other** "UPDATE: Our unnamed sources have corroborated us. It's confirmed Switch Pro 2 is delayed!" Keep in mind this is NOT EVEN A DAY after these Rumor Grifters...

    Hacking Gaming Review Is Wii U Worth It?

    Just my two cents... which kind of aligns with a few others here. (And I also made this post without reading that you've found a cheaper model.) For hacking the Wii U is worth having, though not for $270. I've personally used the browser exploit Dumpling to back up my Wii U games (including...

    Emulation ROM Hack Call of Duty 2: Big Red One - GameCube Texture Restoration

    Finished restoring all the rest of the textures that I could find that I was looking to restore, but otherwise here are some more pictures showcasing some more of what was changed in the GameCube port of COD2BR1. Surprisingly, it's not just about simple resolution downgrades for a few of these...

    When the Switch2 comes out, do you expect it to have full Switch1 compatibility?

    It will be funny coming back here to see all the posters posting, "Nintendo will NEVAAAR have backwards compat!" if Nintendo does include backwards compatibility. Furukawa is making a huge point of emphasis on making the transition to next-gen as smooth as possible, and there are few better ways...

    Nintendo to shut down online play for all 3DS and Wii U games

    I'm not surprised online multiplayer for either system is getting shut down. But what about the web browsers? I had been using the Wii U web browser exploits to dump my disks and eShop games. Fortunately, I've dumped all of my games already, but I'd like to at least have peace of mind that the...

    Emulation ROM Hack Call of Duty 2: Big Red One - GameCube Texture Restoration

    Been in a World War 2 game mood as of late, and through this got some inspiration to try out some of the texture loading and dumping tools in Dolphin Emulator (and PCSX2 as you will see). For those who may not remember, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One - Treyarch's first Call of Duty title, was...

    ROM Hack Translation Metroid: Other M - True Japanese Mod (English Fan Translation)

    I'm not really familiar with how Riivolution works on console. Did you include all the mod files in the same SD card location that you saved the Riivolution XML? If you can show pictures or descriptions of what's happening on your vWii, that would help a lot.

    PSP SUCH A BAD HANDHELD

    I'd say for it's time, the PSP tech was pretty impressive when you consider that handhelds are always 11/2 generations behind the current gen consoles. It was far more powerful than the DS and GBA. The funny thing though is that, if anything, the PSP helped extend the life of the PS2 - because...
