YJencrypted GBA cart dumping on GBFlash in less than a minute with no effort required!

View full thread

recently myself and lesserkuma have been working on something better, and have fully reverse-engineered the initialisation code on the cart, figured out how the mirroring works and figured out how to disable the trap areas. with a simple test script and a GBFlash, a dump takes less than a minute!

right now the firmware is not out publicly yet, but hopefully soon there will be an updated version of FlashGBX that will fully support these carts and make dumping them a lot more accessible.

dumping YJencrypted GBA carts has always been a painful hours-long process, requiring real hardware to initialise the cart, weird ROM mirroring and lots of trial and error with "trap areas" that lock out reading if you don't skip them

WIP I'm chipping away at of an animatic of Wile tooning along to the bridge of Weird Al's "Hardware Store"! Maybe I'm late, but in hindsight, the contents of a hardware store really do seem to go hand-in-hand with a toon's bag of tricks xD #Weirdal #wileecoyote #hardwarestore

so I have no idea if any Switch 2 game executables/libraries have leaked before, but the Steam version of Toy Story Retro Roundup has some NRO/NRR/NRS files in it for Switch 2 ("ounce").

oh shit these are the official Game Boy (Color) bootroms. doubt Nintendo gave them permission to distribute these.

customs fees suck but they would suck slightly less if we could just pay them in advance to fast-track them through. I just want my pakidge sooner please.

A sweet polite little lady named Harumaki who definitely won't grow up to destroy enough furniture (and an air conditioner) that she gets the nickname "Goddess of Destruction" (Photos from Roko_mm on Instagram, taken in 2017)

wish there was a git setting to make it always clone with --recursive as a default; always forget to add it when there's a submodule

"Say cheese!" I have a strange obsession with snow and winter art consider it's never been that cold in my place. Maybe I'll do a rainy one next.

Happy International Raccoon Appreciation Day!! Every October 1st we celebrate these wonderful little creatures, and this year I wanted to commemorate the day with my own idea for a raccoon postage stamp! #InternationalRaccoonAppreciationDay

was bidding on a rare item; went to make a bid in the last 30 seconds and was greeted with a security dialog that wasn't there on my previous bid that required me to enter my full credit card info... ended up losing the bid to that really fucking annoying, doubt this item will appear again soon

I often see recomps advertise 'native performance'. esp with wave of the slop AI recomps. Verbatim ASM -> C translation is actually quite poor from my experience. Around 25-50% of native, depending on arch. CPU register flags+stack emulation is expensive! Lot of headroom.

does anyone out there have an LG BP71N optical drive? I want to check a few things for OmniDrive/flashing support but this drive in particular seems to be pretty uncommon and only really available in Logitec (Japan) and Ugreen (China) repackagings.
