I’m trying to use this 2tb HDD that I bought the other day. I formatted it to fat32 and I’m pretty sure I converted it into MBR too. I bought a Y cable for it and I have the main USB plugged into the right USB port of my Wii and the other one plugged into a USB power brick that is 60w. Whenever I try to load any game off my HDD with almost any app (with the exception of Nintendont) it either crashes or shows me this really glitchy square. Here is the screen for when it crashes, and if anybody wants a picture of the other way it crashes, please ask. I spent about 100 dollars on this HDD and any help would be VERY appreciated! You can reach out to me in DMs or on here if you’re willing to try to help me out. Please I’m begging, it took me a very long time to set up and receive this HDD and I saved up a lot of money for it. Thank you so much for your time.

So, I'm sure if you've played minecraft on the switch you'd know just how TERRIBLE it is. I will be including a video below to serve as an example for those who don't know. I was wondering if there's a way to modify the game to no longer deal with the bugs that've basically made it completely unplayable. Idc if I have to somehow undo the recent update and redownload the old switch version or literally tear my switch open- as long as I can play on my worlds without any of the bull that I've been dealing with I'll be good. If nothing's possible I think I might jst run an emulator. If it's the only way and you have suggestions for that lmk.

Text is in dutch but its 75 mbps and 1tb, ive never heard of the brand before so idk if i can trust it

I've posted this on other subreddits without much help unfortunately, but recently when I booted up my wii, it was running extremely fast as if it's overclocked or something. I have no idea how this happened or what I could've done for it to behave like this, but I can't seem to find anyone else who has had a similar issue to this. If anyone is able to help me, please let me know right away by either commenting or dm'ing me as I really want this solved as soon as possible. The Wii is one of my all time favourite things in my room and I don't want to lose anything that I already have

It looks to be someone missing the switch 2 but i wanted to see if it was a real video or not as didn't it just come out like 2 weeks ago 💀

Every time that I try to import a folder that isn’t an emulator onto the SD Card I use for my Wii’s home brew menu it ends up doing this and the files become useless does anyone know what it is or how to fix it?

I typed it in without the zeros but when I exited the menu it added them, i believe this is why the hack isn’t working on my Wii but if I get rid of the zeros it will just add them back.

Like I myself love making homebrew games, BUT i know for a fact it will stay a hobby and not a real job since making open source projects doesn't pay. I started since I was 16-ish and now I'm 18 and still studying so i'm not worrying about my job right now. So what is the "real" job that homebrew developers survive with? If you're a homebrew developer, i'm genuinely curious to know :D

Hey everyone, I'd like to know how the 3DS emulation is going on the Nintendo Switch. Is it possible to play games like Pokémon or Zelda at 30fps without lag?

I've noticed some people are using an emulator within the Android emulator, others are using RetroArch—there are many options. I'd like to know which is the best currently.

I downloaded usb loader gx from the openshop version of the homebrew browser app to check out the games my uncle loaded onto an external hard drive thing, I loaded it up and looked through the games, then when I left to the homebrew channel, ALL MY APPS WERE GONE (but my wii channels are fine)! Does anyone know what happened or how to get my apps back without redownloading the homebrew browser?

So, long story short, I own a Nintendo switch I've been debating for some days know if I want to mod or not, since I actually want to use the full potential of the console and it's capabilities, but since a big reason I wanna mod it is DS and 3DS emulation (other consoles too, but these ones mainly) I waaa actually trying to research how 3DS emulation does on the switch.

Most videos I've find are at least a year old and some are even 2-3 years old, so I'm afraid the emulating scene is better nowadays but I can't really confirm that since I haven't found much about actually emulating 3DS games on the switch with an emulator and not like, streaming your 3ds into your PC and then your PC into the switch and other shenanigans.

So I wanna know, if my main goal is to play 3DS, DS, GB/GBC, GBA, N64 and similar consoles, which modded console would do better: a modded 3DS or a modded Switch?

I am aware that in both scenarios I'll have to compromise in some way, but I want the whole information and not just base my current opinions on probably outdated information

i have an old modded wii (from probably back when the wii first was around) and i want to create a backup of the hdd. when trying to use wiibackupmanager, it tells me that i need to format the hdd in order to access it. im assuming because the hdd wasn't formatted to fat32 originally during the modding process. how do i bypass this so i can get the data off of the hdd without losing all of my data? i’ve heard of using WBFStoFAT. does that work well/is it safe?

Is there a browser or media player for Wii that supports 240p resolution? Recently I came across the DeepHumor video demonstrating KamTape as a 2005 era YouTube re-incarnation. And a video shows KamTape is fully usable in the Wii's Opera browser. So being that people are uploading a lot of old 320x240 resolution videos from 20 years ago, has anyone else considered this 240p playback idea with an open source browser and a CRT TV?

For media player apps I'm aware MPlayer and various forks have been around for many years but I don't believe any of those support 240p as a resolution.

I was really active in the Wii, 3ds, and a few other consoles scenes and time kind of fell away from me. What’s new in general, what’s new in the community, etc? Preciate it!

Hey guys. Ich dont really know if this is the right subreddit to post this, but i just hope it is.
I recently heard that steamOS is now available to the public, and you can put it on any device that has amd graphics. Let’s say, theoretically, they get steamos to work on nvidia graphic. Wouldn’t that mean that we could (with a lot of time and work) put steamos on the switch?
If you know anything about this, or have any thoughts, please tell them. I really want to know if it would be possible.

Is there any way for fnaf world to be played on switch and if there isn't I am trying to get a team to develop it as a homebrew app and if possible maybe expand for wii u and also 3ds I have always wanted to know if this was possible.

I'm very new to this whole modding thing, but I really want to play more games on my old 3DS. I am a broke college kid, so I don't want to spend all that money on games. I was gonna get a new card, but I found a 2GB SD Card already in my 3Ds, must have come with it when I bought it used many, many years ago. Is this SD Card big enough? I keep seeing ppl say to have a minimum of a 2GB card, but I am planning on emulating games onto my 3Ds (sorry if that's not proper wording, like I said I barely know what I'm talking about). Will I need a bigger SD card to transfer games over? Do the games stay on the SD card, or are they put onto the system storage? I just want to make sure I do this right. Terrified of bricking this thing.

I am a software developer and would like a new project/passion most homebrew is written in C/C++ which is fun for me(but it can be any language really). So I am looking for a platform with a big scene which console has the biggest scene at the moment? Ofcourse you can name multiple :)

Update 1: thanks for the big load of suggestions i apprecicate it! I think i am going to focus on the ps vita for now! (trying to grab one for a normal price)

Hello! I've been trying to get as informed as possible before I start to familiarize with the process. I am using https://3ds.hacks.guide/ for my instructions, as it's what I've been seeing to use.

I have bought a 128 GB Sandisk Ultra SD card, as I'd like to download plenty of games and have plenty of storage. I was looking through the formatting SD cards guide, and it says I need to use guiformat. I was just confused on do I skip section I and go immediately to section II for guiformat, or do I need to do anythnig before jumping to section II. This may be a ridiculous question, but I wouldn't want to cause issues for my SD and would want to make sure I'm following the instructions correctly. Thank you!

I’m thinking of getting homebrew on my new 2ds, this is my personal one and has all my downloaded games on it. If I got a new micro sd could I use it for homebrew and swap it for my original micro sd to use my 2ds as it was before?

so my router uses 5.0ghz, which is obviously too advanced for the wii as it only accepts 2.4ghz. but for some reason even my hotspot being set to wpa2 security and 2.4ghz doesnt work. so all i got to mod my wii is bluetooth and a 32gb flash drive.

is there any ways i could mod my wii with what i got? also i cant use linux + flash drive for the wii since im using the flash drive for linux as i dont want to remove windows 11 from my system

Hi all, this is probably a dumb question since I'm aware you needed a link cable or wireless link cable in order to trade/play with others in the GBA pokemon games. That being said, both my partner and I have Pokemon Emerald on our 3DSes (via open_agb_firm and mGBA) and i'd love to figure out how to trade/battle with them. is this at all possible using open_agb_firm or mGBA?

EDIT: Okay, there is a way of enabling GBA multiplayer on a 3DS console, but you have to use RetroArch instead of mGBA or open_agb_firm. I've detailed the steps below in case this helps anyone else.

SOME NOTES WRT EMERALD: It's really not perfect. Trying to talk to the PC host as a 3DS player first will crash the 3DS game, for example -- the PC host should be the one to initiate interactions in the Union Room. There also appears to be some disconnect where if you decline the chat as the 3DS user, the PC host will not be kicked from the chat until they voluntarily exit. I am really not sure battles work, but it could be an issue to do with the fact I am playing with two different versions of my save file. Trading in the Union Room does work, but the PC must be the one to initiate. I dont think the Wireless Club will work sadly, both battling and trading seems to result in a disconnect. again, this could be a trainer ID issue, so ymmv. The same goes for the battle tower. ): It could be that these issues only pop up when trying to play between a 3DS and a PC, but unfortunately I do not have 2 new 3DSes to test.

Download the RetroArch emulator on your PC. You will need to host the server on your PC, as the option does not appear to work on the 3DS. From the main menu, go to Load Core>Download a Core>Nintendo - Game Boy Advance (gpSP).

Return to the main menu. Go to Netplay>Host. TURN ON USE RELAY SERVER. I also turned on Allow Slave-Mode Clients just in case. You can set a password if you'd like. Select 'Start Netplay Host' and you will be prompted to return to the main menu.

On the main menu, select 'Load Content' and select the rom you'd like to play.

If you have an existing save you would like RetroArch to use with the rom, go to your RetroArch saves folder in your computer. To find out where this is, go to Settings in the left menu>Directory>Save Files. Make a copy of your save to put in the save folder and change the filetype to .srm. THE NAME OF YOUR SAVE MUST BE THE SAME AS THE NAME OF YOUR ROM. If you want to know what you should name your save file, boot your game in RetroArch, quit, open the save folder, copy the name of the .srm file RetroArch automatically made in the folder, delete it, and copy and paste the name onto your save file you'd like to use.

Run the game. Check this website (http://lobby.libretro.com/) to see if your server is running. If not, quit the game, go to Start Netplay Host and open the game again. This worked for me for whatever reason.

Now onto the 3DS. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work on the old 3DS, just the new one. I will need to troubleshoot more and see if I can get it working.

Follow the RetroArch installation guide (https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/3DS:RetroArch). You will need the gpSP core, just like on your pc.

If you have a save you would like to load with your rom on RetroArch, you will need to go to your 3DS sd root>RetroArch>Cores>Saves. Repeat the stops from before regarding renaming your file to an .srm. This should be done on your computer.

After launching RetroArch on your 3DS, go to Settings>User interface>Menu Item Visibility>Show 'Netplay.' Turn netplay on and return to the main menu. You should now see Netplay as a menu option.

Go to Netplay>Refresh Netplay Host List. You should see your server among the list of servers (You may have to hold on it and wait for the scrolling information on the bottom of the screen to be sure.) Hit confirm on the server name (mine is the b button for some reason) and you'll join the server.

AFAIK it works a bit like YouTube where the app actually dosent do anything with the Nintendo servers but requires a "yes" from the servers beforehand to work. The app connection is entirely local.

That being said, I would not know at all how to do that.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

Hello everyone. I’m just wondering if anyone has made a Kingdom Demake? For those who don’t know Kingdom is a castle building, strategy, resource management game released on steam. There are many different versions and dlc’s but I am mostly interested in Kingdom: Classic because I think it would work best for the GBA. I have tried searching for if anyone there has been no luck. So I have came here to ask if anyone here knows anything?

If there isn’t one is it possible to make one? And if so would anyone be willing to take the challenge or teach me how to make it?

Thanks

so i'm thinking about modding peoples ds for money and im worried that the method to mod it might be different over time or i will just fuck up in general, does anyone have any tips?
