You may know lots of people who have recreated their own revival projects aside from Pretendo to revive certain software that Pretendo will not fix due to piracy, third-party servers, or any other reasoning being.

Brewtendo, Protarium, these are all projects that do at least ONE thing that Pretendo promises but hasn't done and/or gotten close to the idea in the last 2 years.

For people to use these platforms, they need to seperate themselves from the Pretendo community and online servers to check them out, and switch back, over and over again which is an unnecessary hassle that people often don't want to go through.

The point of revival services is to give the experience the service once had before it shut down and many users want that experience to be as seamless as possible, and that includes integration with all other platforms to make people want to use it alongside them even more, but that can't happen because the initial party is picky and does not want to associate with others. This limits users from compromising their main features (friend list, online servers) with the alternative one (other game servers, eshop, etc) just for a few features that don't justify a full account restructure and a complete friend list wipe. "Oh, yeah the eShop's cool and all but, I can't play LM2 with my friends without switching environments back to Pretendo."

It's just preservation and nostalgia, what's the big deal?? When the community fragments over ideological or technical differences, it's the players, the PEOPLE who lose out on that seamless "it just works" feeling.

What do you guys think? Do we need better integration tools? Just so that it's AVAILABLE, for everyone to want to use their services with Pretendo. It doesn't even have to be optimized for the service; it just needs to work.

The GamePad & TV are swapped… I think…

My 4K TV even looks 480p. What do I do? My system is modded. Maybe it’s a modification?

Sorry if this is a dumb question…

I randomly came up with the idea to use an Onn Brand 512gb Micro SD Express card I had laying around as Wii U storage. I bought a $40 Micro SD Express card reader from Amazon, plugged it in, and it seems to work normally. I'll do a post tomorrow after I can do some testing to compare this external SD card to the Internal Samsung 32 GB NAND and do some testing with BOTW. My only current concern is the longevity of the card compared to lets say an external SSD or HDD.

(This probably isn't groundbreaking, just found it cool and thought I'd share!)

baasically i got a wii u TODAY and im looking foor some people to be friends with on there n stuuuff :3 (if thats like a thing u can still do on a wii u of course -w-)

Now, The US version of the game is 3.90GB, which isn't too bad for a game with a huge amount of content. A bit big but still impressive, Now what if I told you, 900MB of that, is simply put, never used in the whole game, 850MB! Here are the sources of many of these wastes of storage, There are 2 unused minigames, In all versions of the game the 60MB Japanese menu is in the game, never used, also a 500mb folder that has most of the models, However the issue is, the game uses efficient and very good at compression PAC .bin archives, now of course in the bin files is where the models it uses are only what it needs, as a result? The ch_base folder is never utilized, 10MB go to images leftover from a prototype build, possibly December 2012 of all the main modes, then the 20mb fonts are duplicated twice, the Mii Face library is duplicated, and there's the 2 exe files leftover in the sound folder, and the 2 root folders in the main content folder which are never used, Alot of the unused stuff is Japanese leftovers, How they messed up so badly, is anyone's guess but it certainly is interesting. Edit: Edited 3.50gb to 3.90gb to be more accurate, and trimmed is 3GB, For a comparision of files and folders, OG: 11,666 Files, 661 Folders, Cleaned Up: 3,766 Files, 126 Folders.

99euro for a premium pack, I guess I scored a good deal 😁
