OK. It just helps to know for any possible expansion or upgrading. I'd check the trapdoor underneath the machine for any 512k SlowRAM upgrades too. Those ususally had NiCd batteries that would've failed and corroded/leaked open by now and possibly damaged things if there's one there.

If you want some quick practice go ahead. This ref sheet should have everything you'll need. (Providing Bluesky doesn't bungle the upload)

Nintendo's SD Card drivers aren't the best. There's a reason their ExFAT driver always requires a separate download. (Has a habit of causing issues with corruption or data loss) It also loves to fragment it as well. As in 60%+ fragmentation which isn't healthy long term either.

Over the weekend. That metal frame was finally removed. Normally it should be in a cast but not this time. I can't use this leg now for about a month or 2, but that won't stop the government from throwing us out.
Bleeds bad, but I'm managaing. Can't thank everyone enough for their help so far!

I can't begin to tell you how physically and mentally wrecked I've been since her passing. And with this on top whilst still in a very vulnerable and crippled state. I've had no energy, struggled to do basics like eating/drinking, had accidents and so on.
This is the metalwork I'm still stuck with.

THE worst example I can think of actually is the Japan exclusive Dreamcast game Atelier Marie & Elie: The Alchemists of Salburg 1-2. It has bonus content that infects PC's with the Kriz Virus if the disc is accessed. Never fixed because the MASTER COPY was infected, thus every single print is too.

The GTA series had multiple revisions to correct bugs or to alter scripts to be less racist. Or remove content and fix major missions. Back in the PSP days LCS players needed a SPECIFIC revision with no way of ID-ing it for homebrew access in the old days.

But yes, many pre HD era games had issues, some minor, some major. Some got massive changes between regions. But with no update mechanism, silent revisions were sent out and old stock was called back or cleared out. Carts usually have a embossed letter/number on them for that

On a technical level, what they do is patch the save data to correct a flaw in Ruby & Sapphire's implementation of the Real Time Clock. FireRed/LeafGreen/Emerald via Link Cable and via Joybus on Colosseum, XD, Channel and Box all apply the save patch. In Japan they even made e-Reader cards for it

Of course, you need to make software that USES the calls to getting it working like WiiMC, but it can be done. Not the best, but functional enough.
Later Wii's and the Wii U removed the syscalls by using a different drive controller, removing support completely with no way of restoring it.

All pre 2008 Wii's are functioning DVD players as well. unused syscalls exist to accept and read DVD-Video discs on their drive controller. The Wii was changed last minute, including the Wiimote to remove the support, but stubbed it out. using these or AHBPROT let's you reactivate DVD-Video support.
03.01.2026 18:32 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0
But they forgot one thing: The signature checks for AHBPROT which protects and controls the bus linking the hardware together could be disabled using a single IOS syscall discovered from a factory tool, which grants full hardware access including DVD once called. That was the final nail in security.

They also changed the boot1 (The second stage bootloader after boot0 which is in ROM (Inside the GPU SOC, like the Xbox 360 which had it hidden in the CPU) to stop boot2 (Stage 3) being swapped in 2008 so you couldn't install Bootmii and get power on hardware control of the console.

It was due to grey market Wii's being imported and modified in South Korea. So Nintendo added extra protection to try and kill it once they officially launched there. Worked at first before ways were found to rip the newer security out entirely and restore the older one for homebrew.

All the GameCube Demo Discs and the Zelda OOT Bonus Disc and Zelda Collectors Edition all run off the same backend: an embedded NetFront Web Browser that can launch .TGC archives containing games (TGC files being ZIP files here). It's a descendant of the Dreamcast's web browser.
