Nintendo Switch but it takes UMDs

sincerely crossing my fingers the Neo Geo mini is somewhere near as hackable as Nintendo’s minis

Sonic Ultra HD Blast

If you’re from the Valdi System, you. Are. Valid.

it seems that when they’re at the bottom of the screen, it means the CRAM was updated during blanking, while if they’re at the top the CRAM was updated during drawing

Was wondering what the palette-looking dots at the edges of some Mega Drive frames were, looks like they’re known as “CRAM dots;” they’re an artefact of the palette RAM being accessed, particularly if they’re being changed via DMA! http://md.squee.co/VDP#Palettes http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1871#p1871

Xbox One X’Eye

important: it doesn’t carry very well in photos but the JVC X’Eye is *very slightly* blue and it’s a very good look 👌🏼

important living room update

ok who gave the game genie a knife

Shoutouts to Mario Odyssey for having a wonderful infinite out of bounds glitch and also rendering the pause menu Mario in world space. Mario taking on floating point imprecision. https://youtu.be/suK7j7FkE8Q?t=2m25s

allegedly you can transfer a Mii using an Amiibo?

does this mean the official way to upload a Switch Mii to a Nintendo Account is… to transfer it to an amiibo, add it to a Wii U, and have the Wii U upload it?

wait, so, you can only log into a Switch with a Nintendo Account, but a Nintendo Account cannot have a Mii uploaded from or downloaded to a Switch, and you can import a Mii from a Nintendo Network ID to a Nintendo Account for some reason?

why?

I’m so glad iOS 12 is stealing the Daily Log feature from the Wii U

a few years ago I was jealous of how stable Macs were and now I get a kernel panic every day 👌🏼

(which explains their need for your Wii’s Wi-Fi MAC address, as this exploit requires that, too)

it is very likely that this is merely a generic microSD to SD / USB adapter and that its relation to Action Replay is for convenience (USB) at best; it looks likely that Action Replay are using a well-known Wii Message Board exploit called “LetterBomb” http://wiibrew.org/wiki/LetterBomb

actual context: I found this listed on Amazon as an SD card adapter, not an Action Replay, I found the Action Replay by looking for the same keywords, and found an eBay listing which again lists as an SD adapter despite having the picture which says Action Replay pictured

shoutouts to the people who responded to this picture by telling me “it’s an action replay pro for wii,” you make the world go around

maybe we should start calling Eurovision “The World Series”
