There's no better feeling than modding a console, hardmod or softmod. It feels empowering and liberating, the closest thing in PC is installing linux or using a custom wangblows OS and tweaking your timer, affinity and priority scheduler.

What is the state of 8-bit and 16-bit console emulation on the DSi? Are there good emulators or is the DS too weak?

>>905645 http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulators_on_DS

>>905645 I'm not sure many emulators take advantage of the faster cpu/more ram of the dsi. But for normal ds emulation, the vast majority of games on 8 bit consoles run perfectly fine, but 16 bit can be hit or miss, especially snes

How the hell do you get retroarch to work on gamecube? I have it on Swiss but it doesn't seem to work at all. Ditto for Wii64 (which apparently works on GC) and WiiSX also QuakeGC doesnt seem to work cuz its apparently finicky about wanting to only boot from memcard slot a

Also how do you get FreeMcBoot on a PS2 fat with a hard drive to play PSX games? There's no good guides that aren't an insufferable wub wub dubstep video by a pajeet, they all recommend using a usb or something. Also I have no idea how to actually load them onto the hdd since it requires such an incredibly proprietary formatting of it that only one program i found works to access it and it only is able to load specifically ps2 games onto it

>>905751 >How the hell do you get retroarch to work on gamecube? I have it on Swiss but it doesn't seem to work at all. Why would you use that? The cube already has a lot of standalone programs to run the games off of and they work fine for the most part. >>905753 >Also how do you get FreeMcBoot on a PS2 fat with a hard drive to play PSX games? There's no good guides that aren't an insufferable wub wub dubstep video by a pajeet, they all recommend using a usb or something. Have you read this one? bitbucket.org/ShaolinAssassin/popstarter-documentation-stuff/wiki/Home

>>905753 Personally I've never bothered trying to play ps1 games on ps2 via usb/hdd because the only way to do that is with popstarter (i.e emulation). But if you're determined to do it on ps2, go follow the relevant quickstart guide here https://bitbucket.org/ShaolinAssassin/popstarter-documentation-stuff/wiki/Home

>>905751 >How the hell do you get retroarch to work on gamecube? Simple: *you don't. Retroarch has been a bloatware that can barely function on anything less powerful than the U.S.S. Enterprise for the past several years and it will never be anything more. >Also how do you get FreeMcBoot on a PS2 fat with a hard drive to play PSX games? Did you LOOK in the OP? >>905762 >Why would you use that? Because a lot of lazy retards look at Retroarch and see that it's an "all-in-one" emulator.

Thought people would like some advise on how to play game backups on their PS3. So, the two most common ways is to either go through MultiMAN: https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS3:MultiMAN Or WebMAN: https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS3:WebMAN What you do is that you decide on which device you want to store your PS3 games on. This is important because there are are limitations to each method. The "easiest" method is to store everything on your native PS3 hard drive, but this presents the problem that you're bound by whatever transfer method you're using and the size of the drive. If you want to upgrade the internal drive, here's a guide: https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS3:Upgrading_your_Hard_Drive If you want to use an external hard drive (Or a flash drive), you have to two options, each with their own issues. The first option is to configure the drive into a FAT32 format. This has the best compatability with the PS3, but it poses the limitation that you cannot have any files that are bigger than 4GB on the drive. Here are most of the solutions to that: https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS3:4GB_Files With the easier solution being to use WebMAN to load games from an NTFS formated hard drive: https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS3:Using_an_NTFS_External_Hard_Drive MultiMAN will not load games on a NTFS formatted drive, so all it's good for is file transfers. However, this poses it's own limitation in that you cannot load jailbroken game rips when using an NTFS drive: https://archive.ph/JFMwC#post-169034 When it comes to PS3 games, there are two formats that you can find/extract them as. The first is the standard ISO format. The second is the "jailbroken" format. What the latter literally boils down to is just an extraction of the disc's contents into a folder. The reason for this format's existence is to work around the FAT32 size limitations (As, the only other method is to split the ISO). Once you figure out which drive (And/or it's file format) you want to use, here is how the folders are structured on the drive: https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/wiki/Game-Paths-&-Covers Outside of that, the only other thing of note is that you'll have to open PrepISO/prepNTFS every time you add/remove a game if you're using an NTFS external hard drive. And you need to unmount the game through MultiMAN/WebMAN when you're done using it. Hopefully that gives people enough information to get them started and answer basic questions.

>>905835 Second one did it for me, but it's always down to how much you already know vs. how much you want to bother learning.

For the longest time i could not find a working replacement for the ps3's jailbreaking website, YT pirates and neither were soft modding forums were not helpful . But i found a solution on tiktok of all places, and it worked, but there are soo few games on the library that even appeal to me, but here it is if anyone wants it. You need version 4:90 or lower and i suggest you install the 1TB hard drive before doing it. The Author is lordgingerface and he does other softmodding tutorials, but i'm sure you can find plenty of resources to softmod other consoles.

>>908282 PS3 only has Gundam games and some niche JRPGs outside multiplats.

Someone released a SNES emulator for the N64 this year and honestly it's probably one of the most monumental homebrew software I've seen in a long time. Simpler games such as SMW and DKC run at nearly full speed and audio is 90% implemented, loads from any flash cart as well. https://github.com/Hydr8gon/sodium64 >>905753 Playing PSX games on PS2 other than using CDs has been in a pretty pathetic state for years now, even the Wii has now surpassed it with speed and compatibility. I was hoping that with the MX4SIO someone would pick up POPStarter again but turns out it's >closed source

>>908442 >a SNES emulator for the N64 Now that is cool. Would be interesting to see it handle the SNES Street Fighter games since the N64 never got one. Better yet, would be more interesting to see the original Star Fox game run on it and if possible, a patch that remaps the controls to be like 64's.

Bump. Getting a 1TB microSD to replace the comparatively tiny 256GB microSD. Hacked Switch, but has anyone had any experience moving all the CFW stuff to the new card?

Supposedly there may be a new kernel exploit for the newest PS4 or PS5 firmware in the near future. https://archive.ph/62pKV

>>924291 Might be time to invest in a noames5 for the PC games that get cucked by Denuvo. Wonder if it's just kernel access to 4.05 or a new opening in current firmware.

>>927354 We don't yet know the extent or range of the exploit, and it has been or will be patched soon enough. Then you will be limited to just games from before the exploit was discovered. Don't go and buy a NogameStation 5 just yet before we know what the exploit does.

Probably technically the wrong thread but I didn't see a general romhacking one Currently trying to learn OOT modding from this tutorial: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHifXa1TzdydElLH_cSvnWIemkqJvBLDZ

>>927542 success

>>908442 >Playing PSX games on PS2 other than using CDs has been in a pretty pathetic state for years now, even the Wii has now surpassed it with speed and compatibility. I dont believe you, the Wii just does not have enough RAM and heartz speed to emulate PS1 at all, it could not even emulate N64 well other than VC titles, and last time i read about ps1 emulation on Wii, it was pretty abysmal.

What do you think of Wiistation 3.0, i think its nice PS1 emulation on Wii went from being worthless to decent. https://github.com/xjsxjs197/WiiSXRX_2022/releases

>>935463 Wii U can do it thanks to a clockspeed tweak in Wii mode

>>936059 Whats the point on the WiiU, cant do 240p

>>905439 Heard there were some good PS5 soft mods, how true is that?

PS4: GoldHEN 2.4b17 released, brings long awaited PS4 FW 11.00 Support via PPPwn exploit! https://wololo.net/2024/05/09/ps4-goldhen-2-4b17-released-brings-long-awaited-ps4-fw-11-00-support-via-pppwn-exploit/ The wait is over, we now have a new PS4 jailbreak which will work with firmware up to and including 11.0. Video tutorial: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=c99oey4lz9Q

>>967361 Neat, now all I need to do is find a decent bloodbornebox to play around with it. The exploit was already ""responsibly"" reported to Playstation, so expect a new update that patches this.

>>968074 It had been patched since 11.02, which was released in December of 2023. The way responsible disclosures work is the hacker first reports the vulnerability to Sony, they fix it, and the half a year later the hacker reveals it to the public.

2 months late, but the original Xbox now has its own FreeMcBoot softmod: ENDGame Exploit github.com/XboxDev/endgame-exploit Originally you had to find a compatible game like Splinter Cell with a USB stick containing the softmod files to make use of the exploit. However, if the Xbox's disc reader was broken, unless you had another console to transplant a working reader then you were shit out of luck softmodding it. There was another method where you could connect the console's IDE hard drive to a PC old enough for still supporting the format to softmod it via a program, but nowadays not many have a vintage PC to do that. With this new softmod method, you no longer need to hunt for exploitable games! All you have to do is >just put the softmod files in your USB stick that is formatted for the Xbox & then simply access it on the dashboard menu under memory Works on every region, Xbox revision, and kernels! The softmod files are also small enough to fit inside the Xbox memory cards if you still have them! You will still need to get a USB stick that plays nice with the Xbox & the Female USB To Xbox Adapter to plug it in to make use of the new method.

Has anyone here gotten homebrew working on their New 3DSXL? I'm tempted to try it out so I can play some DS and 3DS Dragon Quest games.

>>969634 You can install CFW on New 3DS XL. Read https://www.3dbrew.org/

I need some help with PS3 backups. I'm trying to load PS3 game ISOs with WebMAN and the games either crash returning me to the XMB, never load and quiting the game causing the system to reboot, OR just freezes the console altogether about 10 seconds upon loading the game and require me to hard shutdown the system. Thus far, the games I've tested this out with are FF13 (JP version), Record of Agarest War (JP version), BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger (JP version), and Burnout Paradise (US version). This has happened both on an NTFS formatted drive and a Fat32 formated drive with the ISO split for the former three. What am I doing wrong?

>>970271 Did you try Irisman?
