Slowly getting back into playing my collection lately since i have a little more freetime. I’m see there are so many consoles out there that can be modded to unlock certain features.
I recently modded my Xbox 360 and love not having to deal with my discs anymore and being able to see CPU and GPU temps to avoid damaging the sensitive GPU.
I also have a modded Wii and it’s the same situation. No need to deal with discs or worry if they have data rot. So much easier and less concern as my physical copies age.
I see the OG Switch can be modded and looking into that, seems like you can actually push it to do 60 FPS instead of the 30 it’s locked into when you buy one if you overclock it.
I’ve also heard the PSP and 3DS are awesome to mod, but don’t own them yet.
What do you all think is your favorite?
I’ve got a lot of nostalgia for DS homebrew. Tons of fun things you can do with a flashcart.
3DS too, but although modding was a lot more widespread due to how easy it was, I feel like homebrew games were kinda lacking. Custom themes were great at least.
The DS with a flashcart was nearly perfect. It was incredibly portable due to the rectangular shape, the screen was protected from scratches while folded so you didn’t need a case, and it could emulate every console up to the N64 as well as every Nintendo handheld (obviously). I was upset when my cart finally died - no other handheld emulator I’ve found is as convenient.
everdrives are fun!
