As a society, we need to bring back the Nintendo 3DS

Everybody tagging and commenting "original ds too" on this, I have great news about the functionality of the 3DS,

You're more right than you know! Did you know the current state of 3DS homebrew makes it so that:

You can install and make your 3DS hacked with about an hour of work.

There is no risk of bricking

It is 100% undetectable by Nintendo

You can play the games online

You can download and install any 3DS, DS, or GBA game and run them perfectly (the 3ds still has the GBA hardware in it!)

You can emulate the Playstation 1 on a new 3ds!

And an absurd amount more.

I've actually made a guide about what to do after you homebrew your 3ds so you can really understand how much nonsense you can do.

You can find it here! It's still early, but if you have any questions or comments, I've left comments enabled so I can get feedback.

Happy hacking!

in light of recent news

In light of recent news I am happy to announce that I'll be making a guide for the Wii U as well. Unlike the 3DS, the U hacks are able to download directly from Nintendo's servers, so the closure of the eShop will heavily affect the ability to access Wii U games from a 100% reliable source.

the rubber duck

For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it. 

It’s also very useful for writers, and I’ve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.

I literally cannot count the number of times I’ve gone to someone and told them ‘I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my story, please let me explain it to you’ and that was all it took. Sometimes they ask helpful questions like ‘did you remember to feed them’ or ‘so is this all on the same day’ but other times I don’t even need that, it just figures itself out as soon as I try to explain it to someone else.

It’s one of my go-to pieces of writing advice. You’re stuck on your story? sit down and tell me/someone all about it. 

rubber duck debugging?

imma use that.

for both programming AND writing.

THIS IS PRECIOUS

windows 10 is garbage so every time i boot up the computer i have to run command prompt and enter

net.exe stop “Windows Search”

so that the shitty goddamned search/cortana feature that i never fucking use stops running in the background taking up all my fucking disk space

before

after

what the fuck is that seriously what the fuck is making my computer be a fucking piece of shit

@baristaboy try this out dude

Avatar

y’all didn’t even add a tutorial of how to do this so imma put one right here 1. type in cmd.exe into your windows search and right click on Command Promt search result and select “Run as Administator”. 2. Type/Copypase in  net.exe stop “Windows Search” and make sure Windows Search is in quotations. It should then respond saying “The Windows Search service is stopping” and then tell you it’s stopped. This is only a temp fix though, if you want it switched off permanently then do THIS: 1.  Press the Windows key + R at the same time and type in services.msc. 2.  Scroll until you find Windows Search and double click it to enter its Properties window. 3.  Change the Startup type to Disabled. Apply this change and you can exit out. VOILA, NO MORE TAKEN UP DISK SPACE

Reblog to save a fucking life, FUCK CORTANA.

Wish i had seen this before my laptop saod adios and fucking died of laptop heart failure or whatever

If you had shown me this site in 2005 I would have asked you if had checked your virus software lately, because this looks like a bad one. I would have clicked away so fast it would give you whiplash. Looking at these sites now, I have to convince myself that they aren't virus laden sites and fight against the pavlovian urge to just navigate away.

I navigate away anyways because fuck them, there's usually a better site (though they are dwindling quickly). I still can't get over how the internet "as intended" today looks like a malware ridden fever dream from 20 years ago. This is every story I've ever read about an empire that used to be great and has now fallen into turmoil.

Beloveds, there is a wonderful website that gets rid of all that crap<3

I use the goons with spoons wiki since it also has recipes without all the bs that accompanies them online.

obtaining roms

edge emulation (missing some consoles; CD-based games come in compressed formats such as CHD; very fast DL speed)

cdromance (mostly has games for CD-based consoles; games come in uncompressed iso or bin/cue; has a lot of pre-patched rom hacks; medium-fast DL speed)

alvro collection spreadsheet (pretty much everything, including many newer consoles; slightly inconvenient to navigate; download site limits to 1 download every 30 mins, can be worked around with vpn; very fast DL speed)

planetemu (largely in french; has a lot of obscure titles other sites lack; fast DL speed)

script that lets you download from emuparadise post-shutdown (pretty much everything; medium DL speed; can occasionally be uncooperative)

ROMs Megathread/Archive (everything, really; slow DL speed; usually a last resort if you can't find something anywhere else)

i don't currently recommend vimm's lair due to very slow speeds and offering nothing that isn't on other sites

sites offering 3ds/switch games get shut down very frequently so i won't be linking them in order to keep this post from getting outdated but you can find them if you snoop around reddit (the 3dspiracy and switchpirates subs in particular) a little

softmodding and loading roms on some popular consoles:

recommended emulators and emulation guides:

games are great. go play some games.

emulation's a hot topic again and that means people posting mildly sus or misinformed links, so i've revamped this post a bit - more links and info about each source so you know more or less what each one's good for. have fun!

roms are usually safer than native windows etc programs but bringing this back because people are downloading things from random QR codes now i guess

STOP DOWNLOADING STUFF FROM QR CODES

It's not safe and you're putting your devices at risk.

It's a collection of trusted links, tools, and advice regarding piracy. Use it

Check the piracy subreddit occasionally bc things get added and removed from time to time. If you're confused about something, don't be afraid to ask them.

And remember to always use an ad blocker when visiting any piracy site

QR codes are so fun and so easy

ah! good question! reblog, check your blog on desktop, scan, and message yourself the link on desktop! (or check the notes for the link)

see!!!!! easy and fun!!!! (i havent checked all of these but comments had no issues. just run an anti virus program or open these links up in a virtual machine if youre concerned)
