If anyone is looking to do Amiibo stuff but don't want to buy a N2 Elite or an Android phone to back up Amiibo, you can have your hacked 3DS do it:

Has mostly the same features and limitations as TagMo.

Don't know. A couple people have asked in the GBATemp thread but I didn't see an answer for it. I know TagMo added that feature a couple months ago however. That happened in September I think while the latest version of Thenaya was built in August, so might not be able to at the moment.

Hmm... maybe I'll just give it a shot anyway, is there a risk of me ruining my PowerTag?

Do y'all actually think piracy hurts platforms? Because it's pretty weird to be cheering about if you do. I mean, I really don't, I don't think the 3ds was hurt one bit by being cracked wide open. Just seems like a weird attitude to be putting out there.

You've misunderstood, I'm not saying the Switch is dead, only laughing at it getting cracked this soon. It has to be a record, right? On the other hand, this light's a fire under Nintendo's rear end to do the simple poo poo people have wanted for a while (VC, save game transfers, a loving online browser) so maybe they'll start delivering. Super strange of them to go with the Tegra since this apparently is has been a known exploit for a while. I don't care either way if this makes or breaks Nintendo, I'm glad I'll have full access to my console and run whatever the gently caress and have the ultimate piece of emulation hardware. I don't see this as the end of the Switch or Nintendo, though I do see this as an opportunity to stock up on Switches now and sell a bunch online modded once that's a thing.

Games are actually pretty cheap now. The $60 I paid for N64 games is more like $90. PS1 games would have cost a bit more than 80 dollars today. People won't accept games costing more than 60 dollars, which means games are 10 dollars cheaper than they were in 2008.

Yeah but on the N64 $60 got you the whole game, now $60 gets you the base game without any DLC/season pass poo poo. So you basically are paying more if you'd like the whole experience.

No, the Tegra X1 didn't have known boot ROM vulnerabilities at the time of the Switch launch. It was the interest and popularity of the system that resulted in hardware hackers taking a look at the Tegra X1 platform and discovering it suffered from a known-class of vulnerabilities (incorrect handling of USB commands).

Nintendo, maybe, should've recruited some white-hat hardware hackers to bash on prototype Switch hardware prior to its release though. I'm sure they have an internal team that does this work, but they're probably just not the same level of talent.

Ahh, interesting, I thought it was known prior. Didn't Nintendo have bounties on some bug and cracking website for such a thing on the 3DS? I wonder why they didn't extend that to the Switch. Though maybe they did, I didn't keep up with that.

Good for you but games designed for D-Pads aren't always ideal with analog sticks, and the shoulder buttons aren't great if you need a lot of access to them like in a 6-button fighting game.

They have kits that replace the D-Buttons with a proper D-Pad on the left Joycon so you'd be good for really anything.

Got a link to one? Also does one exist for the pro controller as well? The tape fix is still bad.

Here's one in Translucent Purple. I'm not sure what colors they make or if they have anything for Pro Controllers.

I haven't messed around with the d-pad ones, but I do have their whole white set on my Switch and it looks great. However, taking the Joycons apart and reassembling the Joycons is a massive pain in the rear end so if you don't like tinkering with small electronics and parts it might not be worth the frustration.

If you have access to a modded Wii running the Homebrew Channel, then you can use CleanRip. I think you can rip straight to an SDHC card, but I've only use a "real" 2 GB SD (not SDHC) card and a larger USB flash drive plugged in the back. The actual ripping process is straight-forward and doesn't take unusually long. Maybe 10-15 minutes a disc?

If the Wii isn't already modded it's pretty straightforward to mod but might be time consuming. Honestly I'd consider picking up used Wii for $20 since it's a good system to have lying around, if only for this purpose.

You'd be surprised. Scene pirates dumped everything they could get their hands on back in the day (volume was important) and even now preservationists are serious about dumping everything they can. If it's a retail release, it's been dumped. If it's a prototype or beta or some weird thing, it might still be dumped.

I'm gonna hang with a friend today who still has his Wii that I modded some years ago, should be easy enough to get it to dump the game. I guess I'll just go for archive download if I run into any issues.

I like what Nintendo is doing with old games on Switch, in theory. They just need to add way more games and more platforms. I prefer getting them as a subscription thing over paying 5-8 dollars for each one.

Both options would be cool, I don't mind purchasing a film if it's not included with my Prime or Netflix subscriptions, but I hate when I'm looking for a specific film or series and there's literally no way I can watch it without bootlegging it. And I'm not dredging up old rear end physical media that I don't collect.

Same poo poo goes for games, I'd love to have an official way to go back to some old school games without bootlegging or pulling out a 20 year old console and sourcing a lovely CRT TV in order to enjoy them.

Thank god for emulation.

If I were able to easily buy an old game for a buck or two and know that I won't lose it when my hardware becomes obsolete, I'd have no reason to mess with ROMs.

Fuckin' exactly, I have so many purchases across the Wii/Wii U/3DS that are all lost to time unless I bother using those consoles just for those games. The thing I love about Steam is my collection doesn't become obsolete with hardware save for specific instances, and even then you can mod easily enough on PC that fans will fix poo poo that devs won't.

I'm usually against new software launchers since I love everything unified, but god drat if I wouldn't go apeshit for a Nintendo branded PC storefront that sells PC titles and first party ports. But nope, gotta keep illegally downloading things because there's no way I can play Yoshi's Island outside of the SNES (and I think Wii or Wii U?).

Yoshi's Island is just about the worst example you could have picked. I personally own that game on four different platforms (snes cart, gba, wii vc and snes mini)

And only the SNES version is worth playing, the GBA bonus levels are fun but they ruined the game otherwise.

The real pisser is stuff that's so lost in red tape nobody could rerelease it even if they wanted to. You want to buy eternal darkness, you're going to need to spend some serious cash on eBay and hope the disc isn't too scratched up
