I guess a PS1 emulator on a 3DS is serviceable if you don't have a PSP or Vita.

Any point in keeping a wii u if I have a switch? Haven't turned it on in years. Most big games have been ported to switch by now right? Is it even worth selling like have they held any value?

Muk Dumpster posted:It's useful for ganecube / wii, otherwise switch emulates everything else more portably, yes, I don't know about "better" since the Wii/U has the made-for-the-console VC games to crib from and switch is entirely reliant on retroarch cores (unless that's changed with the Mario All Stars dropping) a fair number of N64 speedrunners are playing VC Wii when available for a reason

For N64 maybe, everything else is better through RetroArch. The VC emulators are pretty poo poo in terms of accuracy, but they're not as heavy on resources as the more accurate open source stuff.

Native Wii / GameCube / WiiU support if that matters to you. Retroarch / VC. I like mine as a giant GBA, though I find the switch unusable in handheld mode.Dr. Lunchables posted:So it’s.... a wii with a tablet? And Wind Waker HD. Pretty sure everything else has been ported to the switch at this point.

Honestly I think this describes everyone who isn’t actively developing mods for a system. We all just go through the checklist and say “well, I guess that worked!”

Since we’re on the topic of WII’s U, I have a PAL wiiu that I have modded with whatever the current method was around a year ago. I assumed by modding it, I could make it region free but that seems to not be the case. How do I force NTSC things to run on a PAL console? Currently it refuses to run them. Pal programs run fine and the home brew setup in general seems to run fine too

Pal programs run fine and the home brew setup in general seems to run fine too I had this question as well a while ago, and the only thing I figured out was that if you edit the system.xml file, you can place it permanently in region free mode, though a couple of games will still refuse to load if they don't find the right language as the default or something like that. I have not tried it myself. This is the procedure. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Dec 2, 2020 |

Yeah, but do keep in mind that if you gently caress up that file while editing it, you will brick the system. So 1) try to get a backup, and 2) be very careful

Restoring a backup is horribly tedious and needs hardware, so really try and not gently caress up

A Wii U is probably the best homebrew retro machine there is right now. It’s totally worth keeping imo. Being able to play 3 systems of games natively along with a bunch of emulation on the tv or semi portably kicks rear end.

mandatory lesbian posted:so im seeing a ps1 emu for 3ds but tell me honestly, will it play chrono cross I just played through the introduction. Moment to moment is a good 60fps, but the first time anything loads for combat it drops, usually to 50ish, but the element tutorial hit 30 before the load finished. Noticeable, definitely. Cutscenes all run great, though. I would definitely call this acceptable as a way to play CC, but not perfect by a long shot. And god, I forgot with an unmitigated dick Radius is.

I tried patching a Pokémon emerald rom, but it hangs (at the “game boy” screen) when played on a krikzz ever drive GBA. It works fine on visual boy advance. Anybody have any tips on this? Foolin a GBA into thinking a patched rom is legit? It’s the only rom the ever drive won’t play

Back to the Wii U, has anyone had any issues downloading games with disc2app, wudump or wud2app? I'm using disc2app which is based on the latter 2 and it's hung twice on Minecraft. This is the only game that's giving me any issues and trawling through GBAtemp is starting to give me a migraine. I'll be happy when all of this is done. This has been the most time consuming and frustrating project I've done yet and I really hope downloading my 3DS collection doesn't approach these levels.

Being able to play 3 systems of games natively along with a bunch of emulation on the tv or semi portably kicks rear end. Definitely this. While the gamepad was criminally underutilised by developers during its lifetime, there are some fun games that use it (Affordable Space Adventures, Nintendoland, etc) you won't be able to play anywhere else. They also don't sell for a lot so it's not like you're leaving a tonne of money on the table. For this reason I actually bought a second one to mod and use as a travel system (it's a bit of a PITA to mess around with cables when I bring it places), planning to get around to it over the upcoming holidays. Bought a classic NES style skin for it on AliExpress, didn't 100% nail my first time applying a console skin (few small bubbles) but definitely improves the look over the scuffed up original. Speaking of adventures in AliExpress, I'll post up in here with my results of doing a new 3DS XL re-shell when that arrives. I've picked up a spare new 3DS* and was going to try swapping it over to one of the Pikachu editions which we never got here in Australia, and seeing what I get for it on eBay. *actually, several spare 3DS/2DS's of various models...

It's on both but the S is $200 cheaper and, in terms of emulation, there's probably not a huge difference between the two because of the almost identical CPUs. So in terms of value the S has a big advantage if we only consider emulation.

This is a bit of an oddball question but here it goes anyway: I've jailbroken/hacked virtually every console ever made because I am a bit of a preservationist/hoarder. Meaning, I despise the idea of a game being forever gone because a server or e-shop went down. Or a rare console-exclusive game is now $400 on eBay. I don't do it because I want free games; my 40+ retail physical Switch titles will attest to that despite the fact that I have a 2nd Switch on CFW. I have a lot of physical games for all my systems but I always keep them on low firmwares for the sake of the games always being available, even decades from now. So what I am wondering is the best way to backup games for each console. I just bought a 14TB hard drive (only $180 at Best Buy on black Friday!) and my idea is to back up the games on every single one of my modded systems. So I was more or less wondering what the best method is for each console, since they all handle game rips a little differently.
The ones I am most worried about are the 3DS and Vita because I've had so many microSD cards poo poo themselves in my life, not to mention both those consoles seem to "tie" the installs to your console (for example, I can't just put my 3DS microSD in another hacked 3DS console and have all the games show up). Though I am not that sure of the Vita. Thanks to any advice anyone can give! I know this is a weird one.
