ordered an ide to sata adapter for ps2 so i can have fun with psbbn i was hoping the one in my 3rd part adapter worked because its the same person making them but apparently theyre wired differently for who knows what reason thankfully my adapter still works (i have ide drives to test)

i dont get to see the bitmap generation section all that often since most games already have them made for it but when i do it gives me a little joy reminding me of the work i put in to do it

i found out recently that switch updates also contain a list of updates that are available for games to make sure you update games, which when you block ninty servers makes it so you have to manually sideload them some require them some suggest them

A new update is available. It will be downloaded now.

the dspico is neat also if you have it setup to run dsimode stuff you can install unlaunch and also do nand management stuff directly from the flashcard without having to modify the nand with any exploit which is really interesting before this i was using memory pit to boot stuff on stock dsi

never knew this stuff was in here cause i never used the drive on this thing before it had a bunch of cards and 31 cents on it it was fairly easy to fix actually but only if you follow a guide i wouldnt think half the parts move the way they do when removing them

ive been wondering why this drive keeps shutting off and turns out it just really does not like being laid down this is so stupid i was thinking my discs had issues or something but its been just constantly overheating also cable is rigid and holds it steady well so no wobbling or anything

thick cable holds it stable really well actually

today i learned the xbox 360 just has an option to install games to the hard drive officially straight on the dashboard (of course you have to have the disc in to play these, but if you use something like aurora you can just play them without it) pretty cool actually

fun facts of the virtual boy device it is compatible with the vr titles if you take off the vizor (toycon, mario odyssey, smash, captain toad, breath of the wild) course you want to probably use the cardboard version vs the real one for this stuff also it works in reverse, toycon works for vb
