Halo 2 Back Online, RP2040 Xbox Modchip, PS3 4.91 Update, Yuzu Lawsuit - ModChat 118
A bit of a late episode this month, but we have a jam packed one! Tons of original Xbox news this time around with an HD patch for Halo 2 in the works on top of Halo 2 being back online on Insignia. Unlocking orphaned hard drives for the original Xbox becomes easier thanks to PrometheOS. We also see an awesome advancement for Xbox modchips with Modxo, a script which allows custom Xbox BIOS to be flashed to a RP2040! The PS3 is still getting updates almost 18 years later in the form of 4.91 so we cover the firmware update as well as the latest custom firmware released for it, PS3HEN, HFW, and PS3 Toolset all updated for 4.91 support. The bulk of this episode here goes over the start, and finish, of the lawsuit against the Yuzu team.

Infinity for the PSP features several button combinations which can assist in a situation where a PSP with Infinity installed might have been bricked. Although Infinity 2.0 has remedied much of the random bricking, a few users have still run into issues when installing and enabling Infinity before installing a Custom Firmware alongside it. This video applies to both Infinity 1.0 and Infinity 2.0, as long as Infinity has already been installed on the console. The process will cover recovering from a soft-brick, re-installing 6.61 Official Firmware, installing Infinity 2.0, installing a Custom Firmware of your choice, and finally enabling Infinity for permanent Custom Firmware.

Amazing, it happened. RMA #7! This time due to a distorted/buzzing/crackling speaker! On the plus side, you all get another entry into The Switch RMA Chronicles, however this episode only contains one RMA as opposed to the previous episode. Don't make we wear 8 hats. Please. I just want to play my Switch and have it not bunk out on me. So far to get up to this point I've experienced:
- Joy-con not working wirelessly
- Joy-con having connectivity issues
- Pro controller dead after exhausting a single charge
- Console baking itself by using my case as an oven
- Console trying to become more flexible
- Console not being repaired after being sent across the country
Just in case you need to get caught up with The Switch RMA Chronicles:

With the PS3Xploit team's domain changing, automatic updates have had trouble working since older versions of PS3HEN were pointed towards the old domain. This has now been updated as of PS3HEN 3.2.0 to point to the new domain, so any automatic updates pushed from the new site should work seamlessly in the future. This video will show how to fix the "Error on update server!" pop-up related to this by using this as a good reason to update! webMAN MOD will be updated for anyone updating to PS3HEN 3.2.0, then HFW will be updated, followed by reinstalling PS3HEN to get consoles up to date while resolving the "Error on update server!" issue all at once!

SATURN-FPKG is a tool which allows jailbroken PS4 users to easily build their own Sega Saturn packed PKG files to install. All that's needed is a Saturn game in a single BIN format, a few photos of your choice, and a few minutes of your time to get the game packaged up into a PKG file. Be warned: this does rely on emulation, and so far does not have anywhere near the compatibility we saw with the PS2 emulator on PS4! That means several games will work perfectly, several will have minor issues, and others will have major issues or might not work.

The XRGB-mini FRAMEMEISTER by Micomsoft has been known by many in the retro gaming community to be the Cadillac of upscalers. Not only it supports an extremely wide variety of video inputs and can output up to 1080p60. It sports many additional features such as scanlines, upgradeable firmware, full visual setting selection, and many more which allegedly make it the best consumer grade upscaler out there.
After finally biting the bullet and purchasing one... Is it worth the money?

Transformations, homebrew games, and more in this episode of ModChat! Starting out with possibly the smallest iteration we've seen of real NES hardware, the TinyTendo has been teased with more details and instructions coming soon! If the Famicom is more your preference, the Famicom Disk System gets an awesome new development with the FDSKey. The Switch gets some great developments for both emulation and real hardware. First being Yuzu's release on Android, and as a reversal we now have Switchroot working on ALL models of the Switch. Super Mario World's decompilation project gets some attention here, as does a new kernel driver for the PS Vita more geared towards the PSTV called "tvikey" to allow for native keyboard and mouse support. Finally we cover not one, but TWO Game Boy homebrew games. The first being an upcoming game from Mega Cat Studios called Kudzu, and the second being a game released by... McDonald's of all companies?!
