I've always just burned DVDs. I can't remember all the details off the top of my head, but there was an ESR patcher I'd run ISOs through, and then they'd just work like any legit disc, as long as I had my FreeMcBoot card in slot 1. I never did get CDs or DVD9s to run that way, though.
Has the spec for CHDs changed over the last 18 months or so? I went through and converted a bunch of disc images a while back and recently a couple of different emulators have told me "Yeah, this is a CHD but it's the wrong kind of CHD. We only support locally-produced, organically-grown CHDs."
You can burn them, no problem, it's just more hassle. Shared a folder with ISOs on your PC and run a network cable to the router from the console and you can launch them from there. Very convenient.
I haven’t done a lot of experimenting with it, but some games are unplayably slow on USB, especially anything with FMVs. USB 1.1 just wasn’t meant to load disc-based games.
Some fat models aren’t compatible, but any slim should work. Since my 30001 model isn’t compatible, I haven’t looked into it too much.
You should, modding a Wii U is extremely easy and it’ll let you play the otherwise-inaccessible eShop games. There isn’t a giant homebrew library like on the Wii, but there’s some good stuff via the Homebrew App Store.
I rather like seeing all my GameCube rips being exactly 1.35GB but I'm not exactly hurting for storage space.
I just used chdman in Debian's mame-tools package. It was a little while ago now and I can't even build PCSX2 anymore because the devs are locked in a battle of "how can we make our build system as retarded as possible?" Sorry, soydevs, I'm not going to run a bash script just to download some fucking submodules. If only git had this functionality built in. You know, some submodule command that let you update and init them recursively.
I'm the opposite, I can't stand the thought of using 1.35GB for Animal Crossing when the game itself is only 20MB. The three important aspects you should consider in compression are compatibility, quality, and losslessness.
For some reason the devs are really keen of shitting their own work as of late, dunno what's their problem but I hope they stop soon, or at least an actual decent competitor comes up.
Tomorrow's mission sorted then lol. Looks very simple. Only had Captain Toad, WW HD, Zombi U and Shovel Knight on it.
For Linux users it's more of a hassle, especialy if you're not using vanilla Ubuntu/Debian. I have to stick with older versions of PCSX2 and Dolphin because the later releases just ouright do not run on my machine. And both are the windows versions I'm running off of wine.
"but WxWidgets was baad"
Maybe its because my GC ISOs are 90% self ripped and it isnt done properly if it's not 1.35gb.
I don't know how, I don't know why, I don't know what exactly's going on, but I know it's because of some tranny being a narcissistic faggot.
well, that's the "why" part answered, and I agree with you. It's probably some drama caused by a troon on some discord/nu-forum.
I've noticed that a lot with Dolphin, it kindov just fucking works. God bless dolphin.
Its a shame in retrospect that nintendo were pants on head retarded with the optical media they went to all because of MUH PIRACY and the gamecube lacking a l1 and the select button resulting in most games getting ported to the xbox instead.
You can't top Top Hunter... it's got QCFs and SRKs and pretzels and everything. And the 2-plane system from Fatal Fury. Very peculiar game all around.
I must be the only person alive who constantly runs into issues with Dolphin. Considering all I ever hear about it is how good it is. It has been the most problematic emulator for me ever. Even more so than any N64 one. Metroid Prime just flat out stopped working one day and never worked again and mario sunshine hard crashes my steam deck.
