So, I've been working at it for a few months now, and I've managed to reverse engineer some parts of HBC and the hackmii installer!! Apparently, Team Twiizers left some symbols in the installer, so those enabled me to convert some of the code to C. The obfuscation is very elaborate, but there are some flaws, and I've managed to get HBC running in Dolphin, although it crashes sometimes and I can't get a sreenshot. I haven't been able to get very much done and I don't have much to show you, but I do have some code.Looking at HBC more, it seems awfully complicated, and I think Team Twiizers deserves some credit for their accomplishments. Well, I hope to have more soon.

EDIT: When I get more information that could be helpful, I'll contact Waninkoko and see what he can do with it.

EDIT 2: I got a screenshot! http://i.imgur.com/DOHff.png

Make your own judgements on wether the OP's claim is valid or not. But if it is true, OP why not turn your talents on some of Ninty's code? Get us the keys we need to sign our own homebrew, or help with the usb loading of GC.

Releasing and making public any of the tricks of HBC do nothing but give ammo to Ninty to block it.

The biggest give away that this is a fake is the low quality, INTERLACED (lol) screenshot of THBC that was merely taken from a capture card and edited into a dolphin window.

Seriously, why in the world would dolphin output interlaced video...

    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
