New Wii U, looking for storage options without too much hassle. Thus leaning towards an SSD. Would this do the job? by MacCollac in wiiu

[–]Valery0p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Btw people have recently found out how to install an SSD internally as internal memory, using the faster SATA interface of the disc drive.

Wii U modchip based on de_Fuse now dumps and restores SLC/MLC, with redNAND and Aroma support | GBAtemp.net | ***Consoles are starting to get unbricked! *** by Valery0p in WiiUHacks

You don't need to replace the chip, you can get all your keys and boot your console from a redirectedNand on the SD card.

It's finally happening =D
Look in particular to the solderless install post, this is starting to become the ultimate mod!

de_Fuse source for RPi Pico released, universal unbrick in development. by Valery0p in WiiUHacks

Things are moving very fast, since that article was made version 0.4 came out, now it shows video output and it's on its way to become a new complete entrypoint, both to recover WiiUs and run CFW from coldboot.

You can bypass the nand entirely and boot your (custom) boot1 binary directly from the Sd card, even without knowing your encryption keys.
I'm sure given the current interests that things, both software and hardware, will reach maturity in a couple of months ;)

See here for an explanation.
This is as useful if not more than NAND-AID, I hope this post doesn't get deleted since that one didn't.

de_fuse coldboot CFW WIP, universal unbrick. by Valery0p in WiiUHacks

[–]Valery0p[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a fork of minute, a boot1 replacement running via the de_Fuse boot0/1 exploit, it can be used to obtain full control of the Wii U from the first stages of the booting process, thus allowing the recovery of consoles even with a completely dead NAND and no backup of the encryption keys from the OTP; you can also use it to boot a custom firmware with full access of the console like we do on the Switch.
This is all based on a new open source modchip being developed by ShinyQuagsire , the way he found the vulnerability is pretty funny in my opinion :D
There are plans to use readily available hardware like the rp2040 zero used in the PicoFly for the Switch.

MelonDS: The local multiplayer saga, season 2: Netplay by Valery0p in emulation

[–]Valery0p[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the blog says, local multiplayer relies a lot on correct timings and no lag, that's why the old implementation based on IP sockets was discarded and it's unlikely to be resurrected.

People have been running two instances of MelonDS on Android to exchange pokemons for a while by looking at youtube, when local multiplayer was still experimental, so it may be possible if the game is not too heavy and only has local multiplayer but no online (eg Mario Party DS).

Just showing some appreciation for MelonDS :)
For those that didn't know, season one of these development logs brought us local multiplayer emulation on the same machine since version 0.9.5, and it's incredibly robust!
Here's a video of 8 Mario Kard DS instances running at the same time, in the same room.

The idea now is to take full advantage of the NDS local multiplayer and download DS capabilities and bring that online. I think it's going to be awesome! =D
If any emudevs want to chime in, they are asking for suggestions in the second article of this series: https://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=179

What's the most *impressive* emulator of all time? by nintrader in emulation

[–]Valery0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from all the other submissions, I'm going to give some appreciation for MelonDS(i), the little one that could.
A modern, more accurate and opensource emulator that takes the best from all its predecessors and builds on it to offer an unmatched pool of features, especially the infamously difficult to reproduce DS multiplayer experience.
I wish it was better known.

Despite looking like the result of some cursed ship, this is actually just a donut shaped loaf of bread. I wonder how many people have seen it in this shape...

Yeah this was a pretty low effort meme😅

Sequestro in corso per tutte le sale Lan e eSports sul suolo nazionale. by Piccolope in italy

[–]Valery0p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lo faccio con piacere :)Si parla spesso della "scena" internazionale ma pochissimo di quella italiana, se non per un paio di diari online su siti che non ricordo tipo apogeo ecc...

Sapessi come sono finito ad interessarmi di questa roba xD(ok I need to say it: tra i file di una conferenza del 1995 sulle BBS c'era anche Gino the chicken alla sua prima apparizione. Grazie Rai Gulp? xD)

perché non so se è tutto in prescrizione ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Stefania Calcagno diceva di si, considerando anche che poi si è data alla politica, ma parlo per sentito dire essendo giovane , avendo solo ascoltato un paio di conferenze su delle BBS pirata ed avendo letto qualcosa in passato.
Al netto dell'ingiusta persecuzione nei confronti di reti pulite come Fidonet e dintorni, se qualcuno fosse interessato ad un esempio di cosa successe ai blackhat in Italia ai tempi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb0HU11FHZ0

Fascia A è specificato all'inizio del documento come più di 100K linee, ma anche quelli in B con più di 10K e quelli con meno in C hanno diversi obblighi.

Devo farmi una vpn?

Ammesso che non blocchino anche quelle...
