Well genuine enough for windows and xusb22.sys Still got *a lot* of work to do to get it working on a real xbox 360... but soon tm.

Yeah not a fan of this naming skim for plugs. Or most things.. I'm just calling them inny and outty from now on.

The ps5 dualsense controller is both incredibly nice to hack on and incredibly hostile and resistive to being hacked on at the same time.

Its the little things...

ok Microsoft i'll play by your rules and use and xbox controller for forza horizon 6... (this is not a HID device so to a little more work but yeah more or less done now)

Dump metadata and icons from some nintendio handheld roms. Might be useful for sorting your rom sets or use with emulators. github.com/MobCat/NITRO...

I love this little dingus light. afaik it was never officially used so its only purpose now is yes, your hacked controller driver is working you can do whatever you want with the controller now. Like turn on unused notification lights.

Buy forza horizon 6 for $110 on steam. no. Pirate FH6 and build a whole ass app just to config my ps5 controller as an xbox controller cos I cant use steam input on a pirated steam game, and FH6 dont seem to support ds5? Just MobCat things. (I know there are apps for this, but I like building trash)

@bitethechili.com sorry for the random out of the blue question from some random on the internet. So im currently in an adhd side tangent of id'ing and validating gba roms. I wanted to ask what compiler / linker was used to build Anguna Warriors of Virtue? 1/3

Your "fun" fact of the day. mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/publ... Activision was the 3rd largest publisher of og xbox games. Simpsons Hit & Run was published by Vivendi, witch merged into Activision Blizzard in 2008. then ms buys Activision in 2022. so MS now owns Simpsons Hit & Run.. and A LOT of other stuff

Its always really funny when you find some pirates from the 90's added copy protection to there pirated games so pirates cant pirate there pirated games. Its very scratch the labels off the ICs in your cloned devices core.

Im really not a fan of the jetbrains "code" font... and you know what, the xbox book font actually works kinda well for a hex edited once you fix the spacing..

just mispelt powershell as powerhell.. yeah im leaving that, thats good. it is hell. ms is just trying to pave over there shitty cmd with a differently shitty advanced cmd..

Saves 28,598 ps3 rap keys into one rap.bin so I never have to mess with this shit again. archive.org/details/2859...

sci fi writing needs more this advanced civilization worships a war that happened 1000s of years ago. nobody remembers what the war is about or even who forget in it. just its a day we have to remember and take time out of because that's what we have always done. Unrelated, WW1 started 111 years ago

I hate these scanner dots.. not cos they look bad but cos some adhd part of my brain vaguely remembers that they can be used to ID the scanner that made the image but I dont fully remember all the details and it bugs me.

Its that time of the night where we make fun of windows again. (I feel like pathlib should have something for this and I dont have to roll my own shit that is shit. for eg Path(path).mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True, windows_safe=True))

We need an inflation calculator but for storage. Sure 470GB of stuff is a lot of stuff. but 470GB of stuff in the year 2000. that would feel like at least like 41TB of stuff now days.

Zoom and enhance. Zoom again, zoom again... I dont think my scanner can really resolve a 2.5mm spot on the disk, but it gave it a hell of a try. I saw the zoom button and was like ok zoom by how much...

Would be funny if you sent this in, on time, and where one of the lucky 50 people to win a t-shirt... and the free t-shirt legit just says free across the front... ngl I kinda want a "free" t-shirt for fun now..

If im ever in the US for anything I sooo wanna go here.. but yeah I don't live even remotely close to this lol.

lol puts an ad in your settings... its okie its hidden by default, and its more hay if you like this and you wanna use it, here is where you steal it from.

lol adhd + asd be like yo I accidentally red teamed your javascript and got into your admin panel for your website.... ok yes you fixed it kinda, you did stop me from running the function with dev tools, but I can just re-wright the function with dev tools and still get in. javascript is funny.

lol did psn devs have a greek god thing going on here or just me..

Ok I've had my fun for today. still got tls issues ofc (issues as in that service is totally missing / not implemented yet), but hay there is still lots of plain text html to mess around with in here.

DLSS bandwagon.. (tbh good, we really could do with less ai trash in our games. Make the game run better first, instead of slapping filters over top of the issues.)

adhd be like using whois on your own domain because you forgot where you bought it from. Now I can go back to the sight to update it, the domain should be fine, its just the server that went missing lol so gotta give the domain a new ip. just forgot where and on what site to do that..

Think of a cool name for a project. google it. it already exists but its dead and was last worked on 17 years ago, and dosent do exactly what I want anyways. its different enough. fuck it ima use the name anyways, I think its cool.

todays silly lil comment. Hay you didn't handle this weird edge case correctly. well your feeding me shit data so ima just drop your connection, thats not my problem.

Sorry to tell you hun but, the og ps1 ver was actually notorious for its DRM. PS1 LibCrypt is well interesting to say the least. But a lot of people kinda forgot because it was actually kinda easy to patch and bypass this tacked on system to a already tacked on last min system.

ssl will be the death of me this week. Look, I get it, its secure its not meant to be hacked. But just let me look inside. please. I just wanna look. let me in.

That moment when I just realized that technically the password system I'm working on could support *anything* as a password. like really anything. use raw random data as a password. sure why not. no idea how tf you are gonna enter that but sure random binary bullshit go.

Wake up message friends build a dns server and reverse proxy so I can trick my ps4 into thinking its online eat breakfast just girl things.

Oh, I get it. its stupid but thats cos its doing things without telling you. strings are more important then ints, add and convert this int into the string. Maintain the order they where read, because according to java, strings are more important then ints.

developing on windows be like

Hay chat, did I make it, am I a real dev now? someone just reached out asking for help on how to plug my xbox database api into there vibe coded project. and ofc the ai cant check if urls are active or not and nor can the user of the ai. so when the ai gets a title id wrong, they are both confused

Well that is a utter dogs breakfast, but thats a problem for future mobs, now mobs is eepy. and it "works" so yay.

Its kinda funny for how many things chrome does that firefox doesn't and the chrome heads rave on about. But giving you an easy option for formatting json is not one of them..

If anyone is looking for a click bait title to steal "Highguard is a low bar" I feel like that's a good pun that I'm surprised nobody hasn't used yet. Or more specific Highguard is a low bar for yet another hero shooter.

And this is how php has lasted so long. People like me just keep using it lol. IDK I like it, its easy to setup and use, and does 90% of everything I could ever want to do.

Lol got super adhd'ed today. I was planning on writing some server software, nope, lets update nfo2php. ascii art rendering now works on mobile, fixed the unicode / CP437 loading oopsie. github.com/MobCat/nfo2php

Had a cool idea for a project. got most of the way there, but then realized im missing a *shit ton* of data. I have no idea which stores participated. or if this gamestop was here in 2008 as google dont keep old data anymore..

Hay guys, yes, fill in the survey please. But also we need to actually back it up. when they ignore this for money and shove ai in anyways, we need to actually leave and find something else not just "consider" it. as sucky as thats gonna be... idk where to go, but anywhere thats not ai.

hmm I think I finally figured out my issue with horror games. Outside of the fact that where I live and my own brain is worse then anything these games can throw at me so the horror fact doesn't really work on me. Iv been trying to play through routine because it looks really cool and we are starved

TIL you could actually burn HD-DVDs. No idea what you would burn to it, or play it on, but you could.. In hindsight, the technology is tangentially similar to bluray. so if a manufacturer could make a blurary drive, they could make a hd-dvd drive.

I just needed somewhere to repost this. just myth busting the old wives' tale that there is a numerical limit to the amount of saves you can have on an og xbox hdd... This xbox has 581 saves on it. If you have blocks free, you can save.

leaked dev tools are awesome to poke around in.

"fun" fact. according to the features listed on the back of the box (Which often have typos and need to be manually verified) NCAA March Madness 2004 can almost fill a stock xbox memory unit with its save data. stock memory unit is around 512 blocks or 8mb. mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/titl...

A reasonable response and worth a read. Although overlooked something, its not that you can opt out of things, its the fact that everything is opt in by default. hoping users wont notice or care, or cant find the setting to turn it off and just live with it. Don't just live with things, fix them.
