I have modded my wii,ps1,ps2,ps3,xbox(original) and my new3dsxl.
I used consolemods.org
A helpful thing i found out myself when softmodding my wii is that if you use a usb adapter(for sd cards and such), you can put a sd card in it and it will function like a usb.

Will Xbone+ homebrew users ever stop paying Bill Gates and the Illuminati 20 Dobsons to unlock a speshul dev mode needed for installing Retroarch that MS can revoke access to on a whim?
That there's no genuine Xbone homebrewing scene with a CFW infrastructure similar to other 8th gen systems is disturbing given the strong scenes the Hueg and 360 had.
Either the Bone's DRM botnet is powered by Heretek enchantments born from Molochian blood sacrifice rituals or fags are too lazy to penetrate hypervisors when an ((( easy ))) way out in the form of shekels exists, though if the latter were true then why haven't Kiketendo and Soyjew offered something similar on their systems?

Dear diary,

today an armchair psychiatrist diagnosed me with autism.

Thanks,

>>197495
>why haven't Kiketendo and Soyjew offered something similar on their systems?
The obvious reason is money. Better to never sell the game on the offchance it can be done in the future then give it away for free. The easiest emulators to run are generally from the 5th generation (PSX/N64/Saturn) back, which consequently are also full of Nintendo/Sony games. Even considering 6th generation (PS2/Gamecube/Dreamcast/Xbox) games are becoming supported in most chinese emulator boxes, both Sony/Nintendo have an especially large amount of big games from that era.
Microsoft's strategy is to simply become Netflix since it has completely failed in making worthwhile exclusives, so it essentially doesn't give a damn so long as it can ensure the console isn't hacked and people pay for gamepass. Especially good for Microsoft when it can make an extra $20, make the console look more appealing, and protect its hardware all in one.

>>197496
Nigger just buy an R4, i got one for $10 and it had a 16GB SD card inside already.
>>197504
Yes actually, the 3DS screen is not exactly twice as big as the DS, so DS and GBA games scale poorly, the DSi XL is guaranteed to have an IPS screen so that's another plus. With the 3DS only the New models can have an IPS screen, you can't tell at a glance which ones have it, and even then there's the scaling issue i already mentioned. Funnily enough the shitty 2DS is the only one that can scale GBA/DS games properly, but it has weaker hardware than a New model, TN screen and it's as uncomfortable to hold as the original GBA.

>>197689
You can turn off the scaling.

Actual nightmare to find for a reasonable price. I even sat and refreshed ebay for an entire day once.
Here are some confirmed serial numbers for (guarranteed) 3ds dual ips

https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Serials
Its an actual nightmare to look for serial codes that match. I told you i was refreshing all day for a day. Well i wasnt the only one. There are alot of people trying to get these (probably to resell). I got lucky and bought one that just popped up and said (dual ips) in the title.

Hey guys, just wanted to tell you not to buy a Wii U. I had to get a new Wii because my old one bit the dust and I got a Wii U instead because I thought that with vWii it'd be a straight upgrade. It's not. Wii games that should be compatible with Gamecube controllers just don't detect the things for whatever reason, and it fucking pisses me off.

>>197695
How would you even connect a Gamecube controller to a Wii U? It doesn't have any ports so of course it is not compatible.

>>197696
With the USB adapter.

>>197504
DSi for DS games. 
XL version has dual ips but since its XL then pixels get stretched (pixel density)
New nintendo 3ds (because "new" has better hardware) 
I myself have new nintendo 3ds XL dual ips. I have noticed a few times that text can look a bit pixely which i think is because pixel density.
All in all. It doesnt matter if you arent autistic as fuck

Oh. This thing actually works with Nintendont, and I just assumed that Ninty gave enough of a shit to make it work with vWii. Egg's on my face, I guess.
>The GC controller sucks anyway.
I think that the oversized A button is actually nice for a few games, and it's also one of the only controllers with a grooved stick. Other than that, having more options like that is generally preferable to having less options.

>>197695
>Wii games that should be compatible with Gamecube controllers just don't detect the things for whatever reason, and it fucking pisses me off.
Anon, that's been known since day one. In addition, it's pretty much considered a non-issue as every game that uses the GC controller is also compatible with the Classic Controller. I think the sole exception is Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.

>Some other good games that aren't included there are the nanoha games, busou shinki battle masters mk2, valkyria chronicles 3, burunyan man, monster hunter freedom 1 (pretty much a enhanced port of 1, FU is a port of dos and F2), sol trigger and especially the rengoku games, i seriously cannot recommend these enough. All but busou shinki have had either official western releases or have gotten english patches over the years, but busou shinki has little to no story, you just pick your doll and enter a tournament, you don't need to learn even basic japanese to equip her with better weapons either, as the numbers will tell you which one is stronger.

The worst part about upgrading the hard drive on xbox original was that it took a long fucking time to troubleshoot.
First thing i got wrong was the jumper on the hard drive. I didnt understand that shit and got it wrong and that let to error screens. Pretty much everywhere i looked people just said some stupid shit about "checking cables" "unplug cables and plug them back in" vice verca. Which took me a long fucking time because it never worked.
I was ready to give up and just accept my xbox was dead until i somehow thought of the jumper setting. I didnt understand where to put it and such and i had the jumper in the wrong pin. It took me a bit of looking around because faggots cant properly explain what jumper pins and that kind of shit is and how to figure out where to put the damn thing.
The last problem i had was after doing everything, i got another error code. This also took  a long fucking time to find the answer for because once again there was only like 1 fucking post on the entire internet talking about it. I JUST happened to stumble across the post.
It was because the xbox original cable doesnt work for SATA or something like that? Like newer drives or something? I dont fucking know.
But i had to buy a 80-pin UDMA 66/133 cable
fucking finally the thing worked.

Two questions regarding PS3 homebrew:
>If I'm installing games from the USB to the hard drive, does the USB have to be formatted to Fat32?
I'm asking because I cannot copy PKGs bigger than 4 GB to it. I know that I can copy the games from the USB to the hard drive using MultiMan (Cannot get FTP to work), but I want to know if that is also compatible with any other drive format.
>How do I play rips of PS3 ISOs?
There are some games that are either absent from NPS or are lacking the DLC when using those versions as opposed to the physical versions.

>>199474
>does the USB have to be formatted to Fat32?
As far as I know. I had trouble with some games with a file or two bigger than 4GB so I used FTP for those.

>How do I play rips of PS3 ISOs?
You just copy the files to the HDD and use multiman to open it, then select the disc when it brings you back to the XMB.

>>199476
>I had trouble with some games with a file or two bigger than 4GB so I used FTP for those.
IIRC there are tools that can split games and then recombine them after you copy them over, but they're probably all made by some macaco in 2011 and only work on XP, so getting some form of FTP working is a must. I recommend webMAN mod.

>>199474
I do everything over FTP, but if there are tools to split WBFS files for the Wii, there must be PS3 equivalents out there.
And yes, you can just load ISOs through multiman, worked on my machine.

>>199474
download this https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3 and install it, then install the extra archives and you've got a motherload of games you can install straight from your console

>>199474
>If I'm installing games from the USB to the hard drive, does the USB have to be formatted to Fat32?
No. FAT32 is only required for installing the CFW. You just need an NTFS USB drive with the full edition of webMAN MOD installed on your PS3. To be able to utilize that NTFS drive you'll need to go into webMAN Setup (located in your webMAN Games folder) and scroll down until you'll find prepISO. Launch it, your PS3 will restart and now you'll be able to find your pkg files in the Blu-Ray and DVD folder inside the webMAN Games folder. You'll also need to place the exdata folder with the RAP files downloaded by NoPayStation in the root of your USB drive so that your CFW can also install them (and they're required because otherwise your installed game will require you to log-in into a PSN account with these games purchased). Only modern CFWs do this, so make sure that you're using the latest (4.90) Evilnat CFW (CEX or PEX), and not some old CFW like ReBug.
Keep in mind that installing games this way is slow as shit (unless you replaced the stock PS3 hard drive with a faster hard drive), so I heavily recommend you take this anon's >>199513 advice.
>>199513
PKGI requires some config files to be transferred into it's install data on the PS3's hard drive. You can use IRISMAN and my files https://files.catbox.moe/7sbxgh.7z to properly set it up to use NPS. Place them in /dev_hdd0/game/.

Any anon have a quick guide for Switch stuff? How much should I expect to spend on a V1 model before I get that shit started?

Don't bother, just use yuzu instead. Nintendo went all in on the spyware jew shit so you basically have to RCM it on every boot and never connect to the internet to avoid hosing yourself, making it useless because the only reason to get the console is paying to play online. If you just want to play breath of soy 1.5 because it's the flavor of the month there's a magnet for it on this very board.

What the fuck do I do now? The most obvious choice is to pay the extra 25 quids for the SATA version, but a part of me would rather take it like a man and snatch some shitty IDE drive from a computer shop on the cheap.

>>206508

They don't work. Or rather they work but don't support UDMA making them useless for PS2 games because they're too slow. They're great for reviving ancient PCs that don't support hard drives bigger than a few GB but that's about it.

>>206501
There is no SATA version though, so I'm not sure why you expected anything else when you bought it.

>>206520
if anything anon might as well just use a NAS for hosting disc images since the PS2's NIC bus is faster than the HDD one.

Are you suggesting to gut an old computer's SATA connector to weld it onto the PS2 HDD adapter? Why would the SATA PINs be compatible with an IDE board? Even if I were to, buying a SATA plug to convert the board with would cost me as much as selling the PS2 IDE adapter and buying the SATA one instead.
>>206508
>use an IDE drive
Does anyone here use IDE drives for his PS2? I've got a bunch of old PCs lying around, and optimistically I could find a 40GB drive, but what would it be worth? 40GBs is barely enough for Yakuza 2, the two Sirens and Rogue Galaxy, that's 4 games worth of drive.
>>206525
<PS2's DVD-ROM read speed is 5.28MB/s

Games on the HDD are read slower than on DVD, right? It's an acceptable tradeoff if I get to store 6 gorillion .isos though and I assume more fags here have a similar setup.
>the PS2's NIC bus is faster than the HDD one
Has anyone here ever done this, read games through Ethernet on the PS2, or is this some bullshit suggestion no one would follow himself such as installing Gentoo?

No, faggot, you buy a PCB that has the SATA connector and a conversion chip on it. The IDE connector is on a daughterboard inside the adapter and this is a drop-in replacement. You can get them for like $20 on amazog.
>I've got a bunch of old PCs lying around, and optimistically I could find a 40GB drive, but what would it be worth?
About tree fiddy, or upwards of $20 depending on how much the seller knows about retrocomputing. For a few years office and school computer sales were a goldmine for this sort of thing, but that was a long time ago so  your best bet is garage sales and whatever your country's equivalent of craigslist is.
>Has anyone here ever done this, read games through Ethernet on the PS2, or is this some bullshit suggestion no one would follow himself such as installing Gentoo?
Do you really think someone would just go on the internet and tell lies? also installing gentoo is perfectly fine assuming you have a decent computer and an afternoon to kill, or just cheat by importing packages from a binhost like in any other distribution

Yes, and FMVs will fuck up if the ISO is on the HDD and not being read from a DVD. Look into hosting ISOs over a NAS.

>>206582
>FMVs will fuck up if the ISO is on the HDD
Is this true? I've been skimming through a few pages and all these stuttering issues relate to faggots using the PS2's USB port to play vidya, not the HDD port. There are plenty of issues regarding loading games through OPL but those seem to be fixed with game specific settings regarding DMA speeds I think.
>NAS for hosting disc images
This would require a crossover netowrk cable I don't own to connect my laptop to the PS2, assuming it will read its secondary HDD. Thing is, I don't want to buy yet another accessory off the web, moreso one that pisses on everything I've ordered up until now. Besides, from what I've seen on the PS2-Home forums SMB is much more faulty regarding games than an HDD. I'm not sure yet but I don't think I've been meme'd on by buying a PS2 PHAT + HDD adapter. None of these have arrived yet so I can't be sure yet.
In any case I've got a cogswap-ready slim PS2 to read burned DVDs with Swap Magic. Problem is the only computer at home that still has a DVD player doesn't seem to burn DVDs well. I don't think the PS2 can read the DVDs either now that I've got to try it.

Someone should make a ODE for the PS2 already.

>>206751

No, Tokyo Mirage was just some weebshit with Fire Emblem references slapped over it. It doesn't even play like Persona.

>>206751

This far, from the several games I've tried, the only game that I have never been able to get to work is Flatout. Every other PS2 game loads without issue, or has an issue that's easily solved with an option applied in OPL.

This fucks. I've already played more vidya than I had played this entire year. For instance I've just beat Katamari Damacy today trying to get a high score on Taurus/Ursa Major is martyrdom; got already filtered by God Hand; got pleasantly surprised by Ape Escape 3 which I believed was going to be significantly worse than 1 it's only slightly worse; ragequitted in Silent Hill 2 after having to look up a guide to find where the fuck was uncle David's room thinking it was just another regular room I could press X to collect a key from surprisingly I figured out dropping the pack of soda in the trash would do something and skimmed through Galdelic Hour to see what the fuck that shit was about, which is what I'll be playing later. I'm thinking of buying a Teamninjabox too while I'm at it, to which I might want to sit down and read that Sleepy Station article one day.
My only complaint is that most games seem to have more slowdown than they should gameplaywise. For once I expected Ape Escape 3 to have a consistent 60FPS throughout yet I rarely reach that framerate in most stages. Settings on OPL don't help either. Does this game naturally slow down on DVD or is worse performance what's to expect from here on?

Dont get a official taiko drum. Just dont bother. Because you NEED to mod it. I tried modding mine aswell. Didnt really change anything. Now thats like 3 months of waiting and nothing for it + a waste of money. I hope WHORI gets assfucked. So much for "official". Absolute garbage. Looks like at the end of the day im just going to have to go with some expensive third party option. I just want to play some fucking taiko....

Oh nice, a modding thread!
I've been slowly working my way through modding my consoles, got a modded PSP (currently dead, need to fix it), a Vita, a Wii, and recently modded a PS3 Super Slim. Still need to get my storage situation sorted out, originally went with a 250gb SSD and ended up having issues with Armored Core V so I'll need to redo everything with a 1tb hdd and start keeping backups (sans PS2 classics files) external. Sucks, but oh well. 
Next on my list after that is sorting out my wii and getting a nice big hard drive for it instead of just loading games off the sd card, I managed to get 4 classic controllers and 4 wiimotes so it's the perfect party console. After that is a PS2 Slim, an Xbox, and an Xbox 360, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it because I'm saving up cash for more hard drives right now.

After homebrewing, which handheld is better? 3DS family, or PS Vita? (or some other one?)
I personally have a o2DS and I like how I can play (almost) the entirety of the awesome DS/3DS library and emulate older systems for free (and the console itself is very affordable), but I wonder how the grass is on the other side. One thing I know PS Vita does better is having more weeb stuff.

>>208597
It literally comes down to whether you want to play Nintendo stuff, NES/SNES/GB/GBA/NDS, (3ds) or Sony stuff, PSX/PSP, (Vita). Both have a large amount of homebrew themes and autistic homebrew communities.

>>208597
if you already have a 2ds I'd get a vita.

There are a few listings in my area for classic Xbox I no longer know how to name this console, fucking Kikerosoft consoles that fail to boot up.
Did I buy any of them, is the solution an easy fix, perhaps a broken capacitor or something? The other listings with functional consoles ask too much money.

>>209014
What does the listing say?
If there's a popped capacitor, it may have damaged nearby circuitry as well.

I can't tell how damaged any of these are since I lied about them being anywhere near me to begin with.
Both the 1st and the 3rd one have their controllers' joysticks worn out to the root, but if the capacitors are the ones that deal the big damage and not use then these details are moot. 
Found this on my download folder too. Are capacitors the only thing prone to failure on these systems?

DS. When people say that vita doesnt have any games they arent lying.

>>209014
>fail to boot up
There can be many causes of this. If there is a error code or something then you could easily fix it if its a easily fixed error code like a cable thats got disconnected or something which you can simply fix by opening the xbox up and reconnecting it.

>>209062
>just emulate
it's Xbox
even Xemu isn't in a state where it can reliably emulate. The compatibility list lists games you 
can somewhat interact with as "Playable". I don't consider Unreal Tournament "playable" when framerates are all over the place.
>>209027
I would recommend you go with the one that hadn't been booted up in a long time

No way to tell since I can only buy it blindly. Regardless, judging from these ads the ones that aren't working won't display you a screen telling you what's wrong.
>>209074
>I would recommend you go with the one that hadn't been booted up in a long time
That's the one I should the most wary of. At the very least the other two sellers bothered to check out the console and try to see what's wrong, whereas the third guy simply dismissed it. However, this one comes with two controllers. Whether original Xbox controllers are durable enough to last after having their thumbsticks rubbed out and work I don't know, but if they were I'd be able to replace the thumbsticks and be sitting on two functional controllers to use.
Or perhaps I should not be a stingy nigger and pay 20 more bucks to make sure I have a functional console, I don't know.

Some multiplatform games got more content because exclusivity deals, like Onimusha 1 and Fatal Frame 2, and it wouldn't hurt to play some of its would-have-been exclusives such as Sudeki or Stubbs. Or, if you don't own a Dreamcast, Shenmue II.
Besides, for what's worth, all games that didn't see a PC release played better on the biggest console of that generation. Burnout 3, The Warriors, Darkwatch, The Punisher, XIII, Fatal Frame, Timesplitters, SMB Deluxe, etc.
I know it's not much, but it's not trivial either. At least Ninja Gaiden is a better killer app than anything Nintendo put out on that generation.

I've been sitting on buying an Xbox for some time but finally there's one that has caught my attention. 60 bucks:
>transparent Xbox with inner metal plate removed so the HDD/disc drive can be seen, very pretty and works perfectly, AV/power cords and 2 controllers included as seen in pictures
Surely the removed metal plate isn't something I should be worried about right? The faggot hasn't included images with the console powered on as other sellers have, but if he were lying I can technically call him out later.
>>209228
>remember when modded Xboxes were through the roof in resale value
I'm still seeing a few Xbox on resale with stupid prices here. For instance, 500 bucks:
>green transparent Xbox with v1.0 motherboard that can output in 720p and is compatible with PAL games, 128MB original Samsung RAM sticks, original Samsung DVD drive and Sunon fan, includes SmartXX USB adapters and modchip and Pico-PSU M3 (???)
What are these worth either way? What's the point? How much more powerful can these consoles be either way? Aren't most games running in 60fps already?

On an unrelated note, can PS1 controllers be repurposed to be used for PS2 games? The original PS2 controllers are flimsy pieces of shit that last nothing, specially when used for games designed around murdering your controller (Katamari Damacy).

>>210071
Unless you're putting it right next to a CRT or some speakers I wouldn't worry about the missing metal plate.
>500 bucks
Way too much. The only thing you need an original xbox for is playing original xbox games, and once emulation becomes more viable (a reality fast approaching) things like that will quickly become worthless.
>can PS1 controllers be repurposed to be used for PS2 games
Most PS2 games can be played with a Dualshock 1 on a PS2. Some of them won't work though. Not sure if/how a non-dualshock controller will work, but just try it and found out.

Bullshit. I've tried them with Silent Hill 2 and Katamari 1 and it won't work in either of them. My question was whether there was a mod so that the PS2 can read the Dualshock 1 controllers as the second revision.
>once emulation becomes more viable things like that will quickly become worthless
I don't know. For once I enojy the plug-and-play experience of sitting down and enjoying a game without immediate Internet connectivity in your face. It might just be me though since I grew up as a console kiddie.

>>210087
>Bullshit. I've tried them with Silent Hill 2 and Katamari 1 and it won't work in either of them. 
There are several different PS1 controllers; original dpad only, Dual Analog, Dualshock and various revisions of those. The compatibility varies depending on game and controller model. They don't have pressure sensitive buttons so any games using those wouldn't work very well if at all.
>mod so that the PS2 can read the Dualshock 1 controllers

I've booted up my PS2 and got my SCPH-110 (those Dualshock controllers they sold with the mini PS1 to clear out PS1 software stock) and tried some games out. Ape Escape 3, Virtual On Marz and Katamari 1 work perfectly out of the gate, but for some reason Silent Hill 2 doesn't work. It's mind boggling for a game whose controls are already mapped to the D-pad and doesn't even use the pressure sensitive buttons on the joysticks (the PSOne controller has these) can't even bother with basic interfunctionality when a game released in 2006 still bothered to do so.
>it already can
Are you talking about what you've said about some games being compatible and others not, or is there an actual mod?

>>210105
>but for some reason Silent Hill 2 doesn't work
Never played SH2 but supposedly it uses pressure sensitive buttons for melee attack speed so it probably fails when it can't read them properly.
>is there an actual mod?
Doubt it since there is native hardware support. You'd probably have better luck finding something that can spoof/remap controllers in software.

I wouldn recommend anyone to mod a 360. Maybe its due to my own incompetence but i found it to be extremely difficult. In my years ive broken 2 xbox 360s simply from trying to open them up. I almost broke my current one until i gained my senses back and stopped trying to open it and just gave up. Now a small part of the outer shell isnt connecting but it didnt affect the console in any way so its fine.
Moral of the story is just dont fucking bother with the 360. Its a nightmare. You can get practically every game for like 5-10 bucks on ebay or something. Just not worth it to mod.

Only thing to mod on a Dreamcast is installing an ODE. Technically you don't need to if it's MIL-CD compatible but most games worth playing will require deleting content to squeeze them onto a CD-R if you go that route, like it's 2005 and you're ripping a DVD from Netflix or something. Frankly Dreamcasts are in the same place as gaycubes right now, unless you already have one or can get one for a steal you're probably better off emulating instead of paying $300+ for a console and an ODE.

Saturn is much easier, scrounge up an Action Replay 4M and reflash it with PsuedoSaturn Kai using the swap trick for free burned games support. Checking eGay a Japanese Saturn + Fenrir is about 100 burgers cheaper than a Dreamcast + MODE if you want to go the ODE route. Saturn library better than dekinais like me deserve, but if there's a killer app like Guardian Heroes, Virtual On or Daytona that you really want it could be worth it.

How reliable are those Action Replay cartridges on the Saturn? Asking specifically for those games that need extra RAM.
As I've got from the search engine AR is a flimsy piece of shit and the RAM will stop working a few months into action.
How about the other Saturn cartridges? Are there any that does everything AR does and last longer?

>>211351
Not really. Your choices are chink knockoffs or ancient Datel originals that weren't very high quality when they were new, and IIRC the GameShark is just a rebranded Action Replay. There have been a couple attempts to make a new cart with video RAM (including one that can tell the CD drive to STFU and take its place on the system bus, rendering all other ODEs obsolete) but none have gotten far enough for full production yet. Buy an AR cartridge and pray it lasts.

I've made up my mind on the Saturn. Instead of buying an Action Replay, to install a Phantom modchip to bypass the system's copy protection. The chip's only $20, installation's piss easy from what I can tell and you don't need to rely on some plastic made-in-Chian piece of shit manufactured almost 30 years ago to be able to read your CDs. Besides, it's much less expensive than an ODE which would still need a separate PSU to keep up with the higher wattage consumption; plus, the console would benefit from being able to plug in the original shielded cartridge. Finally, I would be able to play, uh, C-Cotton 2, and... Astra Superstars.
Only thing that's left in the air and I haven't bought as of yet is a video cable. The idea was to buy one of these echspenshive RGB cables. Problem is, I remember using composite on a SNES I used to own and the color bleeding and signal loss is negligible. A console that outputs in 240p isn't going to suffer as a 6th gen console that outputs in 480i/480p. For once, I imagine pixels on a Saturn to be as big as twinkies. Pixel art is going to look slightly cleaner but 3D graphics will still be crippled from the internal resolution. What's the point? Should I even bother? Wouldn't a shitty AV cable do the trick? Perhaps I should try to upgrade my PS2, where text's sometimes impossible to read from a distance.

Low resolution is a bitch but I don't think all 3D games on older hardware benefit from higher fidelity. The game you posted looks like mobage-tier shovelware garbage when upscaled for instance.

screw that, does anyone have any sort of dissassembly for videogame consoles' video cables? I'm wondering whether someone has ever made some tutorials detailing how these cables are connected from one end to another. If so, can I ditch the console specific end of the cable and repurpose it with a new cable, be it SCART or component? There sure are plenty of these shops online making cables, surely it isn't that hard.

>Only thing that's left in the air and I haven't bought as of yet is a video cable. The idea was to buy one of these echspenshive RGB cables.
The only requirement is quality cables. RGB is shilled everywhere mostly because it's an easy grift for youtuber scum to sell all this equipment that's useless on US televisions. Good cables (and good AV circuitry on your television and console, but that's usually not under your control) are more important than masturbating to RGB. Any composite cables you find are going to be OEM (and possibly expensive) or garbage. RGB cables at the retro stores are going to be expensive, but they probably won't be garbage, which is why RGB started getting shilled everywhere in the first place. Shop around.
Don't be surprised if you need to recap the console. If you're in the US Console5 sells DIY kits, otherwise use their cap lists and buy the parts yourself on digikey/mouser: https://wiki.console5.com/wiki/Saturn

>>211679
Pinouts are available if you bother to look. The issue is the custom shell, making sure sync goes to the right places, and making sure the signals are actually shielded properly. Most online shops (unless you shell out for HDRetrovision or similar) skip that last part because it costs money. Unless you already have a good cable and know how to dissect it without compromising the foil shielding etc I suspect it would be cheaper to just get an OEM or (if OEM isn't available for your format) HDRetrovision cable than to make one yourself.

Why? Just replace the SRAM memory where all the save data is stored with an FRAM one, and pay the money for an OEM 4M RAM cartridge that's actually shielded unlike all of these chinese knockoffs. Only featuring I would be missing from the 4-in-1 is the cheat device, though I seriously hope you guys don't really need cheats in your games. Some SEGA exec claimed there was a secret character that was yet to be found in Fighters Megamix, that's an early revision of Ryo Hazuki you'd need to clock in 164 hours worth of matches to unlock. I'd loved to see whether he was real or not.

Sorry fag, I already got grifted. Bought two SCART cables from retrogamingcables.co.uk for 65€. Luckily I'm a yuropoor so most newer televisions I have around have them as well as older, CRTs TVs.
Problem is, even if the signal was objectively better I'm slightly miffed as to how it looks compared to composite. In spite of composite's artifacts, the colors are much deeper/prettier and the image tends to come together much more nicelier. Comparing both outputs, both RGB and composite, TJ&E's ocean looks like diarrhea when thrown in RGB, whereas SoR's title screen loses that high evening 80's jap drama touch to it.
>recap the console
Goddamnit, I thought these older consoles didn't use electrolytic capacitors. Let's hope they didn't jizz their pants all over the motherboard.
>pinouts are available if you bother to look
>making sure the signals are actually shielded properly
Don't know whether the cables will be shielded properly around each end. Disassembling the SCART end is piss easy since there's a plastic piece that's holding it together, but the mini DIN 10 that goes to the Saturn might imply snapping both the cable and the connector and peeping inside. What am I looking for, exactly?

Oh yeah, you can do that. If you're going to be soldering anyway I guess there's no harm in going with the modchip+FRAM, unless you're going to have enough saves that you actually need a BRAM cart, like Dezaemon or something.

>Luckily I'm a yuropoor so most newer televisions I have around have them as well as older, CRTs TVs.
Then it's okay. Note that not every device with SCART actually supports RGB, but most consoles with native SCART should. In the US SCART cables are only useful if you have a VGA monitor and want to frankenstein your consoles to it, if you fell for the OSSC meme and have a SCART switch, or if you fell for the PVM meme.
>Problem is, even if the signal was objectively better I'm slightly miffed as to how it looks compared to composite.
>genesis examples only
Funny how they forgot to add the obnoxious rainbow bars when they ran those screenshots through the Blargg filter; the Genesis/MD is infamous for its video quality. One of the few redeeming qualities of the 32X is you get to use its video out instead. Other consoles don't have this problem. Here's Final Fanta Sea with composite, S-Video, and RGB. Notice how there's barely any improvement in RGB over S-Video, and how composite blurs some of the  checkerboarding smooth but mostly just looks funky.
>Goddamnit, I thought these older consoles didn't use electrolytic capacitors. Let's hope they didn't jizz their pants all over the motherboard.
Solid-state caps were still killing Macs and setting power amps on fire at this point IIRC. With electrolytics of this vintage the issue isn't leakage so much as the electrolyte drying and letting voltage ripple into the rest of the system. If it works today it's probably not in danger, but it may not work 5 years from now without a recap.

You know what. Im just going to buy a xbox 360 and not fucking open it up. I think in total in my lifetime ive destroyed 4 xbox 360. 2 when i was retarded and didnt know what i was doing and 2 now when i knew a little from tutorials on youtube. Im such a fucking retard.

When developers develop a game they usually build it for a specific platform. So lets say they developed a game for the xbox 360. Any other hardware you play it on is not going to be the intended way to play it. I just want to play the game on the hardware the developers developed it for and intended for the players to play on.

Has anyone ever modded a PAL PS1 to run at 60hz? Is it doable?
It's come to my attention most interesting games that didn't see a release in America weren't PAL optimized (Hellnight, Gungage, Poy Poy 2, Rapid Reload).
I have a console that's already chipped to accept burned CDs, so I can't see why not making another modification here and there.
It took me 1 minute to type this post and half an hour to find a suitable image, I don't think this is appropiate either.

I hadn't, but now I have.
There's a modchip (Dual Frequency Oscilator) that apparently autoswitches the frequency depending on the software's region.
However there doesn't seem to be some sort of switch so you can decide what frequency is the game playing on, regardless of the game being played.
I want to be able to play Ape Escape with my shitty dub at 60hz, is this possible? Can I do this on console?

>>212061
From memory the vertical frequency is set in software. You'd need a GS code or patch for PAL60.

I'd delved into it further and apparently you can patch PAL games to play on an NTSC console and viceversa, but that will carry video size discrepancies.
For instance, PAL games converted to NTSC won't fit the screen, whereas NTSC games patched to PAL will now feature black bars.
I was wondering whether the dual frequency oscilator would solve this, or if I should simply stick to NTSC games whenever available instead of frankensteining European isos to my amusement.

We don't accept global standards. We make them.

>>212133
1: Power standard differing from North America. Remember that for 20 years, the only way to store TV broadcasts was to record the thing on 24 FPS film, and even after a studio level solution was created it was another 20 years before it reached homes. It was easier to just make TVs work with low power standards for their refresh rate instead of dealing with conversions since the average consumer wasn't going to be getting content from the other side of the ocean anyways.
2: NTSC color programming is very in-elegant internally in an attempt to hack in color to the same bandwith used for black and white broadcasts and let B&W tvs get color program then play it in B&W, and PAL coloring was created to address some of those issues. Again, both were created long before home video was remotely possible. I couldn't tell you why 'anyone' used SECAM though.

The only reason we don't have to deal with this shit today is the change to digital let everyone use a standard that made sense.

And here I thought I would be able to play DoA3 this evening.
To make matters worse, I was in the process of burning game CDs with the only DVD drive I had on any computer at home, and only 2 out of 9 rips came out properly. What the fuck do I do now, when most computers I work with are laptops? Most importantly, I hadn't realized DVD drives had slowly been being removed from newer machines. Should I search for old desktop computers in my parents' hoarding attic? There should be a few that used to run Win XP from back in the day, though I doubt they would boot up in current year by a long shot. If at least the drives were recoverable, what should I do with them? Any creative way to plug them into a laptop's motherbase?

>>213143
there are USB to SATA adaptors if you wanted to try older drives to do shit with, but the price of USB to DVD drives/burners is around $20-$30, if I was in your position I would just get a USB drive that can burn discs and not bother with digging around for an ancient drive that may or may not work

examine the board carefully, is anything scratched, pierced, scorched, not what it should be?
as for actually playing games on it, softmod it, put a bigger drive in with a IDE to SATA adapter, (MAKE SURE YOU UNLOCK/LOCK THE OLD/NEW DRIVES), and just FTP all the game files to the drive and run them off that.

Dusted off the Xbox again and removed the motherbase. Since I had no idea what to look for I've simply brushed off the capacitors with a little alcohol, then went on to power on the console and somehow have it work properly for 6 entire hours without any hiccups.
I'm still in disbelief, and in all honesty I'm wary of having a ticking time bomb inside the console. At the very least I've finally had a chance to install a new HDD using Chimp without the console dying on me. FTPing files over to the console seems to do the job albeit fairly slowly and the few games I've sent seem to boot up correctly. Only real issue I'm having is the console only displaying 127GBs worth of F: in spite of installing F: to occupy the entire disk. Could the BIOS be outdated hence why it's messing up with me? The Xbox was already hardmodded by the original owner, judging by the Shenmue II game files around 2007. What's the easiest way to update the BIOS was I not able to burn a DVD? Can I send OGXboxInstaller over FTP?
On a side note most fags doing these retarded tutorials on the web seem to advise buying an 80-pin IDE cable instead of the OEM 40-pin one inside the console itself, but I've found zero reason to buy one since the games seem to boot up just fine. I've been staring at my computer screen waiting for 2 whole hours for the games to download from the Internet. Surely there's some site I can download from that supports speeds above 350KB/s out there, but I've found nothing. Either the magnets on archive.org are broken or are not seeded.
>>213144
>there are USB to SATA adaptors
I haven't looked into it yet but wouldn't a DVD drive require a power supply connection on top of the SATA end? I have one SATA to USB adaptor at home but it seems to be designed for small 2.5" laptop HDDs. Either way, I'm almost positive there's a working desktop with a DVD burner somewhere.

>a tutorial page on how to desolder
I don't think I need this.

On a side note, I've been seeing some listings for older Japanese import consoles that claim they've been modified to work with EU power outlets. Thinking about these faggots writing about using PicoPSUs to reduce voltage on the console I didn't know what were they doing here until it dawned on me today: can you replace the PSU on a Japanese console with the European one, did I have a spare? Specifically the Saturn and the Dreamcast. I assume, while more annoying to set up, it would be preferable to a stepdown converter, or perhaps the converter itself may have the console malfunction.

Just bought a sweet new silver dualshock controller for my PS3. 
Ready to play Sonic Unleashed all night.

>>213351
probably using the wrong commands, looking into patching the ISO again with abgx360 to see if I missed something.

>>213349
You know all this effort is going to be pointless when you realize 360 has like no games that aren't on PC.

You mean used or no analog buttons chinkshit right? I don't think you can even get nip imports anymore.

too angry to give up. i will not be denied.

also found this in the burnermax official readme:
>I wish to dedicate BurnerMAX Payload Tool's release to the victims of the Connecticut school massacre and the bravery of the school teachers involved who saved many lives.
<may those dead kids forever be burning xbox 360 games in heaven

If ImgBurn works in Wine you should be able to use that.
>Added: Internal version of the 'BurnerMax Payload' code (well, what I could figure out) to allow for overburning DVD+R DL on many MediaTek chipset based drives. In practice, this only seems to work on Lite-On (and clone) drives that have 'Force HyperTuning' enabled.

DS2/3 & Sixaxis have analog (pressure sensitive) face buttons, chink knockoffs replace these with simple digital switches. There aren't a lot of games that rely on them but those that do can be hard if not impossible to play with chinkontrollers.

isn't the shitbox 360 version inferior compared to the switch version?

>>213485
The Switch version the graphics are cleaner while the original were more blurry. The Switch version doesn't have multiplayer either, though does the 360 still have functioning multiplayer? Would have to play the Switch one in an emulator to go past the capped 30fps.

Can anyone answer if these PS2 games have any slowdown either on the original disc or on emulator?
>Silent Hill 2
>Rez
>Ape Escape 3
>Super Monkey Ball Deluxe
The former two lag on certain points in-game while playing on OPL, whether the other two very rarely play at 60fps.
For once I've tried playing GitS PSX both on a burned CD on console and on POPS in the PS2, and the way the game staggers the latter's abysmal.
If Ape Escape's meant to be a 60fps game as I expect it to I might have to upgrade the console using a modchip.

>>213485
but does the multiplayer work? it still works on ps3

not really homebrew related but i noticed that xbox 360 has capped download speed. High latency and capped download speed. Doesnt matter whether or not you change your dns settings or how good of a internet you have. Its capped.

>>213667
the NIC is only 250Mbit, that might be a reason

>>213677
no. They actually capped the servers or something a few years back.

How is homebrew in this thing?
I've heard is easy to mod and has several emulators including PS2 and GCN.

>>214261
it's not homebrew, you give microdick 20 bux to enable developer mode then you install RetroArch on it.

Don't want to bump this thread with nothing else but blogposting, but considering the talk of older consoles this might fit in:
>want to buy a Sega Saturn to hardmod the shit out of
>1st seller, spare Euro SS that hadn't been powered on for years, 35E
<disgruntled old lady, doesn't know how to use a keyboard
<selling crap she had collecting dust at home, console was most likely her 40yo son's 
<claims she's sending me the console after fucking up my payment twice
<goes to a reseller store to sell her shit because she does not understand shipping
<still can't make a word out of her messages, each one more cryptic than the last
>at least I got my money back, try to look for another console
>2nd seller, boxed Euro SS with a copy of Tomb Raider, 120E
<seller removes the advert as soon as he reads my 1 week-old message
>3rd seller, complete JP SS that has ben reclocked, no power adapter, 75E
<as he was checking it the guy notices the image freezes after 10 minutes of usage
>at least had the decency to contact me once he found out about the issue
>4th seller, JP SS without any yellowing, no price tag
>offer him 75E, might accept paying more if I'm hard pressed enough
<that was 3 months ago, not a single reply
As you can tell, I was cockblocked from buying a SS on all fronts. I genuinely didn't think I could find any console that wasn't price gouged . That was, until:
>remember Yahoo! Auctions exists
>look for Y!A proxies, ZenMarket will do
>start glimpsing multiple latest advets on the page, looking for something that will catch my eye
>settle for an advert with a model 2 SS without any visible yellowing and two controllers
>win the auction, 50E
>damn, that was kind of cheap
>in fact, that's way too cheap. what's the shipping, 10E?
<...you know, an arcade controller would go well with a Sega Saturn. didn't they sell those in Japan too?
<...
<...?
>fast forward to present day
<7 spare Saturn consoles, don't even know whether 2 of them work
<9 boxed Saturn consoles
<1 clear case THIS IS KEWL spare Saturn console
<20 regular Saturn controllers
<4 analog 3D Saturn controllers
<5 Virtual On Saturn twin stick controllers, all of them boxed and 3 of them still factory sealed
<2 Saturn mice, 1 of them boxed
<1 boxed Saturn memory card
<1 Dreamcast console
<5 Dreamcast controllers, 4 of them clear
<6 Millenium 2000 Dreamcast controllers, 3 of them boxed
<2 clear Dreamcast keyboards
<1 spare Game Gear console
<1 boxed FZ-1 3DO console
<1 HSS-0136 Saturn controller
<2 HKT-7300 Dreamcast controller
<1 Arcade Pro 2 controller for the PS2
<some more shit I may have forgotten to list
All of this adds up, considering shipping inside the country:
<¥312,890
This would be all nice and well, except:
>look into the shipping process
>assume I can simply pay for the cheapest, dingiest shipping method and avoid paying big money
<what, customs?
<customs order you to pay 25% the stated worth of the product being shipped to be allowed outside of Japan
<25% of almost ¥300,000, excluding shipping
<or even more, since one of the auctions exceeded 150E and customs will charge me extra for processing
>talk to the diversity hires at ZenMarket, ask them is there any way to avoid being robbed with taxation
<nuh uh, can't hide how much you've paid for these items
<holy fucking shit
<take a look at my neglected bank account I hadn't even bothered to check as I was spending like crazy
>there's still a thousand yuros roaming in my account
>abitclosertoheaven.jpg
Or it would be, didn't I forget I had to cough up more than a thousand yuros in [REDACTED]. I can expect the money to be deducted from my account anytime in the next few days, which means, once that payment arrives,
<I'll be in the red
<I need to make more than ¥75,000 appear out of thin air in a matter of days
<NEET, so I can't expect to solve this with a salary check at the end of the month
<the only afordable shipping option will take at best 2 months in arriving
<hence I can't ask for a loan then clear some of the inventory in a desperate attempt to stay afloat
<that is, without a massive, crushing debt
<I can't have ZenMarket store the items indefinitely as they'll start charging me as soon as any of them stay any longer than 45 days
<the eldest auction arrived in their warehouse 27 days ago
<don't even have a clear idea I'll make a profit once everything arrives, or how long would it take to sell everything
>
<still buy a SANYO 3DO after my misery achieved critical mass
What am I supposed to do now? I still haven't got through my head I may be indebted to hell in a matter of days. It genuinely feels like a bad dream I may wake up from sooner or later, but I know I won't. What in tarnation is this shit? How the fuck in this godforsaken world did I end up like this? What the shit?
