dusted off my SNES mini a few months ago and have been playing through it. have beaten a bunch of games, but want a different load out. and now I realize... I don't know how to add more games. like, I can find guides on how to install Hakchi--but now that I have it installed, is there a way to go back in and add more games? I'm running Hakchi 2.20. alternately... is it better to upgrade to Hakchi CE instead? seems to be some QOL things have been added to it... easier to muck around with retroarch cores and automatic updates.

went digging for more answers this morning and found this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/comments/hlvuk3/guide_for_moving_from_hakchi_2x_to_latest/ seems like i need to uninstall my current hakchi and revert to the original kernel then do the move to CE

I finally figured out that I have a hackable switch - it was in that period of serial numbers where some were patched and some weren't. What are the best things I could do with hacking it? I have a hacked 3DS that has a good amount of emulators on it, but I guess the switch is better for anything that's not from the DS/3DS family. Also I tried out TotK emulated at 4k 60fps and it made me sad given I'd already put about 100 hours into the game on my switch so I wasn't about to start again - could I rip the save file from my switch and stick it into the emulated version?

The switch is pretty great at emulating most things up until gamecube / ps2 (it can play a bunch of those games but is best done in android which is a pain). And yeah, swapping saves back and forth with emulators is entirely possible and really cool, get JKSV and/or EdiZon and go nuts. Another cool thing is overclocking, the switch actually has a bunch of headroom that can be used at the expense of battery life. Great stuff for docked mode especially, SMTV (for example) was infinitely better to play with an overclock.

Is hacking an OLED switch easy enough? I probably should have kept my launch switch to hack but the battery life was so trash....and the OLED is such a pretty screen...

there's no softmod for later switches such as the OLED model, the only route to hack them is by soldering in a modchip

There is currently no way to software hack an OLED switch. You can search around and see if hardware mods are available but chances are pretty slim of you getting anywhere with it without a lot of difficulty or a lot of money. Should've kept the launch one.

Can you put an OLED screen on a launch switch? I haven't done much research but I have a modded launch switch but am jealous of the OLED screen *edi* the answer to this is no, sadly. Substandard fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Aug 25, 2023 |

The OLED switch is like 1 or 2 mm wider than the original switch, and I'm sure there are plenty of internal changes as well.

Thank you all for the help with Wii hacking. It wasn’t bad at all to softmod. Getting everything installed was easy; the only thing I had trouble with was figuring out storage capabilities. At first I tried a 128gb USB stick for Wii games but I couldn’t get that to work with USB Loader GX or WiiFlow. I then tried a 64gb SD card and that worked perfectly! Wiiflow plays games off SD easily. I wanted to get some GameCube emulation going but ran out of storage space on the SD card. So I used the USB stick and loaded the GameCube games on there. Installed Nintendont through the SD card. Turns out that works A-OK! The GameCube games load just fine off the USB stick in Nintendont. However, I can’t load games through Wiiflow if the USB stick is plugged in. I have a feeling it’s because I have an empty WBFS folder on the USB stick… or its just some weird compatibility thing. All in all, I’m super happy with the softmodded Wii! I never had a Wii and didn’t play much of it so I’m getting to explore a lot of neat gems. I just beat House of The Dead Overkill. Light gun games on the Wii are awesome! Overkill is incredibly good. Also finished Kororinpa Marble Saga. I loved those old wooden labyrinth games and Marble Saga was perfect. It got really tough! I’m playing through Trauma Center New Blood and I’m really enjoying it. The gameplay is really cool. It’s difficult but the sort of difficulty that makes me want to try again and again. The “visual novel” aspect is good too, especially the voice acting. I’m surprised how good the VAs are! I got Mercy Meltdown Revolution at a thrift store for 4 bux and played a bit. I really like it’s vibe and the gameplay is really cool. It’s really impressive how natural the gyroscope feels in that one.

Are there guides for homebrewing 360s? I just got a free one, a Xenon, and I'm not sure where to go with it. Need to fix a RRoD and see what else is wrong with it first I suppose.

I bought a New 3DS XL today, and part of the bargaining with it was that it has some manner of homebrew on it, which the PO claims made it crash a lot. He "removed" it, but if I hold select while booting, I still get kicked to a Luma3DS screen. I have no idea what he did to "remove" the homebrew, nor do I really have any idea if it was ever working correctly. The console has a 32GB microSD card in it, but I have no clue what is/isnt on it yet, but I'll pop it in a PC later. What is my best bet for just starting over with a fresh homebrew install on this thing, given its at least partially homebrewed already? I really just want to get to a known good state with it, and the 3DS.hacks guide warns that just factory resetting it could brick it at this point? https://3ds.hacks.guide/uninstall-cfw.html Any hot tips for me?

I would start with following a guide for updating homebrew. It has the custom firmware on it, the rest is just stuff you put on the SD card that the homebrew stuff reads. Edit: Follow this: https://3ds.hacks.guide/checking-for-cfw

Check your settings menu, it should have both the system software version and the Luma version of the console's still modded. You can remove the softmod, it basically involves using a homebrew tool to restore a backup of your console's NAND from before it was modded. I dunno what your friend actually did, but he probably just deleted any homebrew software on there (or maybe just whatever he thought was causing the crashing) and called it a day. But yeah, check your Luma version against what the guide tells you is current, then update if you need to. Then if you decide you want homebrew software look for the section of the guide that involves getting the Homebrew Channel and FBI up and running.

This did the trick. The cause of the crashing was a faulty SD card that would only read about 20% of the time in both the 3DS and my PC. I put a new card in, followed the directions to set up the SD card again, and all seems to be well

It's easy to forget that the custom firmware is not just files on the SD card. I transferred a hacked old 2DS to a different device years ago and then formatted the SD, factory reset it and left it at that. I picked it up again this year so I could get it ready for my brother's kids. I was going to to treat it as a 'clean' device, but turned out I could skip a couple steps in the 3DS Hacks guide.

I don't think anything like that exists or can exist. To make 3D work on the device you need the game to output two images at once, which means splitting up parts of what is meant to come out in two separate layers. You could do that from scratch, but not apply it to something that already exists. DOOM may be an exception because it's open source and people love to do things to that engine. Even Nintendo re-releasing some basic NES games with 3D effect had to stop it shortly after because they complained how much work it was for very little return. A shame because the NES Kirby in 3D is the best version of that game ever made.

Quake and Doom are 3d games; so if the question was if there are ports that bring stereoscopic 3d to otherwise "flat" games, I would recommend the Mario 64 port for 3DS, as well as OpenLara for 3DS, though I haven't played through more than the first level of that.

So with my switch which I recently discovered is moddable, do I need anything (other than the hacks guide and the RCM jig I also have) to install homebrew on it so I can scrape my TotK save and transfer it over to the emulated version on my PC? Is there anything to be aware of during the process? I know that I'll need to wipe my SD card at some point so I should back up my photos on there - my nephew learned this the hard way - or is there any point to getting a separate SD card just for homebrew related things?

If you use a seperate SD card just for homebrew stuff you can then just run the CFW and utilities you need off the SD card and swap back to your main card when you're done and return your Switch to stock form. If you're just using it to grab saves that's probably the best way to do it.
