    Hacking Homebrew [Beta Release][Tester wanted] Kernel9 patch to speed up boot speed on high capacity SD card

    I have just gotten around to replying to this thread. I have been using this patch for a few months with no issues whatsoever on my N3DS with a 400 GB SD card. Everything works perfectly. It's massively improved boot-up times and booting back into 3DS mode from GBA or DS mode. I notice this...

    Hacking (Luma) New folders created in "titles" folder keep disappearing

    That doesn't sound good. Maybe your SD card is failing, or the filesystem is corrupted. I'd backup everything on the card (if you haven't already done so), and test it with something like h2testw. If it passes, restore your files onto it. If not, or it acts up again, you'll probably need a new...

    Homebrew Wii motion plus remote powers off in homebrew

    Unfortunately, there's no easy fix that I know of. "Fix" is an older wiimote that doesn't have motion-plus built-in. When Nintendo starting making wiimotes with motion-plus included, it broke compatibility with those wiimotes in the homebrew development libraries used at the time. It got fixed...

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew Misc Tutorial Method to tell if a Wii can install BootMii as boot2 from the outside

    Fascinating! I've wondered about this for a few years now. My own Wii console has the LU58 serial code. I wonder where the cutoff point is for them to start shipping with the patched boot1. Mine seems to match the description for "lower LU58s". It's got the "USA-1" as well. Mine has the...

    Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

    Just for clarity: does this affect all flashcarts? I get the same issue (I think) with Ace3DS X. I get a white screen when launching retail NDS games (Bookworm, Peggle Dualshot, Bejeweled 3) when I load my cart through 3DS SD version of Twilight (with Slot-1 SCFG enabled). I use nds-bootstrap...

    Rumor Google is going to kill uBlock Origin in June 2024

    I wish Google didn't have a huge, global monopoly on the web browser market, but they do. Nowadays, every web browser is usually webkit or blink based. There are only some exceptions to this rule in the modern day. FireFox is the most well known, and the biggest one. Forks of it, both of modern...

    Hacking Homebrew Misc Remake Unofficial Luma3ds

    I took the plunge and tried this out on my main N3DS. I like the additional features. Disabling power to slot one, quick toggles, automatically enable and disable Wi-Fi, LED toggles... Haven't explored everything yet, but have this booting as my default CFW already. Looking forward to exploring...

    Okami is getting a sequel, and Hideki Kamiya is back to direct

    I played the Wii game a lot, and beat it at least 6 times while I was growing up. It was my favorite game to play. I have Okamiden, but haven't finished the game. I made it to Sei'an City and stopped. Will be interesting to see how this one develops. Hopefully it'll be more faithful to the...

    Homebrew PCSX ReARMed compatibility list

    This emulator is shockingly capable on this system. I've tried a game that, so far, doesn't seem to emulate well: Equestriad 2001. Disable music, set frameskip to 1, synchronized rendering, hi-res downscaling. Game plays surprisingly well to me with music disabled with this emulator on N3DS...

    Bluetooth Audio for the Nintendo DS

    You can hardware mod your DS, but something like this would work without requiring a hardware mod, and would work with other devices that only have a 3.5mm audio jack. It's like the adapter I mentioned earlier. You can probably find something similar for cheaper if you look around on other...

    Bluetooth Audio for the Nintendo DS

    I got one of those taotronics tt-ba07 bluetooth transmitter/receiver combos that are small, portable, rechargeable, and support low-latency a while back, when the manufacturer used to ship to where I live. It does the trick with the right headphones, but that can be a headache. Most won't. You...

    Homebrew Wii DVD Support - from Disc Channel

    Back in the old days, I leveraged my Wii as both a console and a DVD player. I still have DVDX installed on my Wii. It did not allow loading DVDs directly from the disc channel. You needed to use homebrew. I used MPlayer CE for this most of the time, because WiiMC didn't exist until later. I...

    Homebrew [Release] 3DSBank - "Nintendo 3DS" folder selector

    Came here to say OMG, THANK YOU. Been using this for a few years now, and it makes my life easy on my 3DS. Going over the 300 title limit on the 3DS is hell. You ain't seen slow on the 3DS until you do that, IMO, even with large capacity SD cards. The difference is night and day, and that's...

    microsd card making 3ds/2ds not work?

    That will work. You're basically starting over from scratch. Is there a gm9 folder in your previous backups, from before you sent your 3DS to Nintendo, and an out directory in there? Is there an essentials.exefs in gm9/out? That would be useful for recovering any old saves. I honestly got...

    Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

    Lately I've started messing around with DSx86 0.43 beta to see what it's like running DOS games with the limitations of the NDS on my NDS-mode flashcart (Ace3DS X) that autoboots Twilight Menu. That works a treat, launching the flashcart directly from my N3DS home menu. Booting the homebrew on...

    Retroarch always crashes!

    Definitely stick with nightlies. RA stable releases are never actually stable on anything except PCs running Windows or Linux, IME. On bespoke platforms like the 3DS, stable is busted more often than not. I say this as someone who's been using RA primarily on the 3DS, Wii, and PS2. Nightlies...

    Sony is reportedly developing a new handheld console

    As someone who had an Xperia Play back in the day, and still has it in a drawer, fuck that. They did nothing with it. Just Crash 1 and... that was it. Underspec'd it significantly on storage space (384 MB, I think) and RAM (128 MB, I think). You HAD to root it to use App2SD to get around the...

    Homebrew Emulation [Release] DOSBox-SVN port for 3DS

    Alright, I'm back with some updates. I did try KG in Windows 3.1. It ran slower, and I wouldn't call it playable, but it was more playable than I thought it was going to be. Playing the DOS version of that game would be the way to go on an N3DS. For kicks, I've tried Rodney's Wonder Window. It...

    Homebrew Emulation [Release] DOSBox-SVN port for 3DS

    Maybe Quake needs more RAM? I think there's a 3DS port of Quake you could try running. Unrelated to above, I finally started playing around with this port of DosBox. It's surprisingly capable. I can actually run the DOS version of Jumpstart Kindergarten 1994 (I'll call it 'KGDOS' for short)...

    Only one I know of besides what's already been mentioned is Bubble Universe.
