A wuhb app that allows you -from a list- to launch any vWii homebrew that is in your apps folder (similar to hbl2hbc but this time the app itself reads what's in your sd card so no need to make config files) with options like: resolution modes, output TV/Gamepad/Both, setting gamepad as a controller (if the selected homebrew allows it) and overclocking automatically (if the selected homebrew allows it).

Perfect dark was decompiled recently, similar to oot or sm64. I am really looking forward to see the same love for perfect dark

This message was posted almost a year ago, but recently we were witness of the first release of the port for the pc. Is there a chance that we'll get this fantastic port on the Wii U as well?:yayu:

Some form of app/channel that opens Gamebannana or some form of it where you can directly download mods straight to the sdcaffine folder for a certain game.





And also maybe a gamepad volume booster for headphones?

Maybe a port of Citra for the Wii U? I seen the retroarch version of Citra is based on OpenGL 3.3, and GX2, the Wii U's API, is based on OpenGL 3.3 too, so i thought there are chances but i'm not sure.

Doesn't quite have all the features, but a Homebrew called WiiVC Launch has most of them

I know we already have br by V10lator, and it's great (it inverts the x and y axis on the right joystick). I would really like a fork of this which only inverts the y-axis. It's this possible? It would be a lifesaver (on Wind waker for one!!!).

impossible as the 3DS doesn't have 5ghz wi-fi, so streaming video from the Wii U to the 3DS quick enough is impossible.
Streaming smooth video it's not neccesary in a lot of games. Just the console thinking the 3DS is the gamepad and accepting it as a main controller. Maybe just for the new 3ds, bc the inputs buttons are similar to the gamepad ones.

Again, this would require 5GHz Wi-Fi on the 3DS's end, OR a very special plugin on the Wii U to make it use the 2.4GHz band for gamepad communication.

@jeffyTheHomebrewer I might be wrong but AFAIK it had been tried the other way around: Streaming the 3DS screen to the Wii U via WiFi / LAN. The conclusion was that the 3DS WiFi is too slow even for the low resolution of the 3DS with heavy compression.

So @Anikemi in theory it might be possibe to do all that over (W)LAN but you won't get happy with it.

Yeah. It feels like at most we could get input streaming, and even then, how would the touchscreen be mapped properly?
It honest to god feels like it'd be easier to get a PS Vita to work as a replacement gamepad (has dual sticks, a user-facing camera, and ZL/ZR could just be mapped to the rear touchpad) with a USB accessory to give it 5Ghz Wi-Fi. If not connect to the console directly with a USB cable..

How about a game like "Overcooked".
Really love this game with friends. There are several party games on the Wii U, but imo Overcooked will make the collection complete.

Hello,

I think about an update to the Wii Fit Meter which show us directly how many meters we made on the day... An others things like this... I don't think it's possible to make a remote tv with the Wii Fit Meter or put games on the Wii Fit Meter

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
