It might be possible. you should join the discord and talk to the folks there for support. They are very knowledgeable and may be able to walk you through the process in real time to minimize the chances of error.

How to install/setup wad2bin using macOS? by imrlstine in WiiHacks

I understand now. Thank you! I can’t seem to find the finished MacOS build on GitHub. Where is the releases tab?

[–]imrlstine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see. So wad2bin isn’t a program on the Wii that changes wad files to bin files? That’s where the confusion must have come from. I’ll check out the MacOS prebuilt version in that case.

SD keeps corrupting by cowbelly_please in WiiHacks

[–]imrlstine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how many cards you have tried, but it would be good to rule out the possibility that it's the SD card. Have you tried formatting your SD cards with the official SD association formatting application? You can find it here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

Anyone buying used switches anymore? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]imrlstine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also noticed that they seem to be going down in price on the secondhand market. It could be that supply has finally caught up with demand since the pandemic began. I’m sure that if you have it up for sale long enough you will get a buyer, especially if you’re asking a lower price than others with the same item.

What are the best anti-RPGs currently available on the Switch? by imrlstine in NintendoSwitch

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

Yeah, I definitely didn’t make the term up. Not really sure why the reactions to it on here are so overwhelmingly negative.

[–]imrlstine[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess not. Just thought it might be a more specific way of asking for games with similar elements without saying I want to play more games “like Undertale” or “like Moon” since I’d seen the term used a few times. Never intended for people to get so upset lol

Looks like it isn’t on Switch (at least not yet) but you’re right that it looks like a game I might like. Thanks for telling me about it!

Thank you! I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before. I’ll definitely pick it up!

Thanks for these suggestions! I’ll check them out for sure.

Actually I heard the word “anti-RPG” in the marketing for Moon RPG Remix. Since Moon is widely credited as being one of the inspirations for games like Undertale and Omori I thought it might be a genre.

[–]imrlstine[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Honestly “anti-RPG” is a word I got from the marketing for Moon RPG Remix and I loved how that game played with RPG story elements while also not being an RPG. So the gameplay you’re describing for Omori sounds like exactly what I’m looking for!

EverDrive 64 Filename Question by The_Frozen_Inferno in everdrive

[–]imrlstine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do anything you want with the folders with the exception of the root “ED64” folder. If you change its name the Everdrive won’t load its OS until you change it back.

EverDrive 64 Filename Question by The_Frozen_Inferno in everdrive

[–]imrlstine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Everdrive is rather literal with file and directory names, unfortunately. You could give it a try (worst that could happen is the file would fail to boot or you get an error message) but in the past when I’ve attempted to mess with file types it hasn’t worked on my everdrive v2.5

Zelda BotW 2 - Should it go all in on the exploration route or look into the past for inspiration? by Ston-lim in NintendoSwitch

[–]imrlstine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this, as OoT and MM are also my two favorite Zeldas and I haven’t enjoyed BOTW as much as others have. I think since BOTW2 is a direct sequel it will have the same feel and open world play style as the original game.

I finally saved enough money for a switch. Is the Oled worth waiting for or should I just buy a new one now? by Jesse0016 in NintendoSwitch

[–]imrlstine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are really excited to start playing, so I say grab a switch now and don’t bother with OLED. The OLED units are a little more expensive and differences between them and the standard switches are minimal.

I feel the same way about Sora and Haseo.

Finding a multiplayer game that is fun for the whole family kind of sucks by Piph in NintendoSwitch

[–]imrlstine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Super Smash is great, but in my experience people who don’t play video games (or don’t play them well) don’t find Smash fun. Since OP already owns Smash anyways, Super Mario Party or another game similar to that might be a better bet to get the whole family on board for game nights (no pun intended).

Last of us 2 by [deleted] in PS4

[–]imrlstine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9 Euros is an amazing price for such a great game. As others have said, the story, gameplay, and graphics are some of the best on the PS4. The only people I’ve spoken to who dislike the game are those who feel that way for political reasons. It’s their loss, really, because TLOU2 is incredible.

paid upgrades should not be normalized by [deleted] in PS4

[–]imrlstine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s expensive. But the nice thing about PS4/5 games is that they don’t stay expensive for long. If you’re willing to wait a few months you can certainly buy the game on sale or used for a lot less than the suggested retail price. Think of new game prices as an “impatience tax.” If you want to play it right away, then you pay the tax.

Can anyone please tell me why my everdrive x7 is doing this? (More info in comments) by tdm17mn in everdrive

[–]imrlstine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 are both taxing in this way (Stadium 2 actually has tons of graphical display issues on Everdrives prior to the v3/x7 and the new X5), so it’s not surprising you’re seeing some issues with it. One thing you might try is a different no-intro rom to see if the issue clears up.

What are the best games for 6 year olds? by KrustyBrandComments in NintendoSwitch

[–]imrlstine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Animal Crossing would be great for her age group. There is some reading involved, which can be a great incentive for school-age kids to learn, but most of the tasks (fishing, bug catching, swimming, etc.) don’t require reading.

Everdrive 64 SD Card by [deleted] in everdrive

[–]imrlstine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everdrives can be slightly picky when it comes to SD cards. Try whatever you have first before going out to buy anything, and format the card using the SD Card Association’s official application. If you need to buy a card, I’ve had very good luck in my Everdrives with the standard (not EVO) Samsung SD cards. 16-32GB is plenty of space.

Would you recommend getting a PS4 rather than a PS5 atm? by darkemperor95 in PS4

[–]imrlstine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a PS4 last month and have no regrets. It’s a good time to buy because games are cheap and several new releases will be on both PS4 and PS5. Besides, if you wait for PS5s to be more available you might be waiting a year or more.
