I feel ya lol. we were raised on numbers back in the 486 and even 386 days lol. I love the initial d reference! The only anime I ever liked enough to but the entire series lolI agree. Its mostly old war horses, and up and coming gamers who still rely on numbers like many of my generation used to do in the 90's (I personally wan't self aware about these things til around mid 2000's or so 0_0 ) Still, I can't help but be excited about these super efficient architectures pumping out amazing visuals , you know. It reminds me of Initial D in a way; having an old 86' Corolla out race all those fast cars with drifting and all. Good times.
*realizes he bumped thread slightly*
sorry!, oh, and welcome OP to Wii U forums! Enjoy your stay here.
Edit: Sorry bout that Unchained Goku. My mistake.

For the live of God. Clock speed means almost NOTHING these days. A Intel i7 quad core at only 2.3 GHz will absolutely rape a previous generation CPU. you have to remember that it's all about architecture these days. The speed wars are a thing of the past. Chip maskers make processors so efficient these days that it does not take a high speed chip to be fast. Sorry to hurt any feelings but I am so sick of seeing this stuff every time I check forums

I don't mind 30fps as long as it's not a racing game. There I prefer 60fps if possible. In other games I don;t mind 30fps as long as it is nice and steady and Visuals get a nice bump in it's place

That is pretty much what it is.I don't see any way of doing it different unless you want to build your own PCB board? Doesn't matter as I was just doing it to kill time. Not worried about overheating as it's a 5400rpm drive and all the enclosures I own have zero vents on them. I stress tested it for an hour straight with no issues and barely got warm.looks like you have just taken the external drive circuit and put it into the cartridge, beware, looks like the drive could overheat in there with hardly no ventilation, if you put an ssd drive in there it should be ok
Yeah still gotta look into that. Not much dust will get in but it will still bother me lol. Gotta find a way to make it look clean but that may be beyond my skill level haha. 99% of people won't see the backNice stuff man! I would try to seal off the part with the connectors though... I wouldn't want dust to get in there!
It was also a PITA lol. But the 3d mode was so cool back in the day!Not RAD RACER!!!!!!! That game was awesome!!!!!!

Because it has Firewire and USB 2.0. Firewire connectors on the card are two different sizes. The round port is where you can plug in a Ac adaptor but isn't needed.

I think this might be something better suited for The Museum, seeing as it's something you made?
Any way, I always see things like this on etsy (like http://www.etsy.com/shop/8bitmemory).. They are kind of expensive though, but I always wanted to learn how to make one because I want oneeee~ Le sigh~ Technical skill failure T__T
This one came out great, though. Sweet job!
LOL I never even saw that section of the forum existed
Guess I am guilty of lurking on jsut the Wii U sections haha. Yeah it turned out decent and was very easy really. Not nearly as professional but Nobody will see it much The friends I have showed loved it!

So got bored and remembered seeing those pics of the externals hdds you can buy that are made from a SNES or NES cart. I had a spare hdd out of my old PS3 I was going to use on the wii U so I decided to give it a go myself The only cartridge I had that I didn't mind messing up was Rad Racer. It was that of Jeopardy that I got free and I couldn't stand the thought of seeing that label each time I showed someone the drive lol. This was easier than I thought because the drive was very thing but it also worked with a thicker old 80gb drive I had also but was more tight. I also had three different enclosures laying around and I picked the one I have right now because if I decide to use the drive with something else later it has firewire and stuff and it also has a plug for external power so I can safely use it with my Wii U when I get it for Christmas.To trim the inside of the case I simply used a bottom of the line Dremel with a drill bit I had installed in it already lol. I used the PCB board from the external enclosure and just put it on the drive and did a test fit. After trimming the cartridge if fit perfectly with no movement! It's not very professional looking but I like it What do you guys think?
Sorry for the large pics.

Why does EVERYTHING have to centered around the gamepad? I am guessing Nintendo requires the developer support minimum gamepad functions at least? Why not release the game with just pro controller support if it's that big of a deal and Nintendo isn;t enforcing any restrictions? Just put a warning that it requires a pro controller. I mean, I have all 3 current consoles, but some more hardcore Nintendo guys may only have the wii u and will miss the chance to play.

I do not know how it will work as far as voice chat but if your tv is like mine it has optical audio out you may be able to plug your headset into that. My turtle beach headset uses optical audio but haven't tested with my wii u since I can't get it till Christmas lol

My only complaint is lack of analog triggers. This should be a standard thing. it is crucial for some things like racing games. It's like dual analog sicks in fps games.

Digital triggers are either on or off. In other words they only have two settings and no increments in between. Analogue triggers have various degrees of response which is far better for controlling the level of braking and acceleration in racing games.
Exactly. Think of analog triggers as real gas and brake pedals that you can control the amount of force on them. Digital triggers are like a gas or break pedal that is either all the way of or putting it to the floor. I Suppose racing games could use the right analog stick as throttle and break like gran turismo but for me that never felt natural at all.

Like I responded to you in one of the other threads I don't think that's going to work.
According to Dolby's website since the turtle beach DSS supports pro logic llx and Dolby headphone if toy Holm the box up to the game pad and plug the head phones into that box it will use r the DSP to convert it to simulated 5.1 and pass it off to the Dolby headphone DSP which will play the simulated surround to the headphones.it may not be the best but its hard to say that it won't work when that is exactly what the technology is designed to do

Hello 9646gt,
Ahhh I see. Sometimes it takes that alternate explanation to finally get it haha. Thank you for your multiple explanations and patience!
So it seems like no matter what, I will need to purchase a receiver. Just which receiver is the question.
Take care!
Sincerely, NintendoFan
You are more than welcome! I am so OCD it isn't even funny lol. I would look at the Onkyo ht-s3500 receiver. I just bought it tax free and with free shipping on amazon. I got it for $249 shipped and it sounds amazing. It's actually a pretty advanced receiver so it was tricky to set up to my OCD liking lol. But 249 for a receiver and all speakers is not bad. Yeah the sub woofer is passive but it will be fine for the new few years for me. It also has 4 hdmi inputs and supports the wii perfectly! It is only like 660 watts and sounds night and day better than my sony 1000w it replaced
They will work but only in stereo if plugged in the wii u gamepad. To get surround sound simulation from them you would need to plug them into a receiver that will convert to Dolby Pro logic or similar. Turtle beach sells a box that I am pretty sure will turn the stereo into Dolby Pro Logic II as that is what mine came with.I wonder if my Turtle Beach X12's would work?
http://www.turtlebeach.com/product-detail/dolby-processor-accessories/ear-force-dss2/33 You SHOULD be able to plug this into the gamepad and get dolby surround headphone processing for pretty damn good simulated surround with any turtle beach headphones

There are a couple of good threads going on this. The only way to get surround is with simulated surround created by a receiver like a home theatre. This is mainly because the wii u only sports uncompressed audio and does not support and Dolby prologic or anything like that. So the receiver had to take the audio from the Wii u and then make its own simulated sound such as neo 6 and send that to the headphones.

Yeah I haven't got to open my Wii U yet, but I was planning to use a LAN adapter to bypass all that wireless lag. But then I found on neogaf that the lan adapter is even SLOWER than the wireless in speed tests! But it IS worth noting that doing a speed test on a WIFI connected laptop vs WIFI connected Wii U showed the Wii U wireless adapter is also much slower than a PC or Mac connected to wireless. So I honestly think alot of this is that the network interfaces on the console are just kind of slow.

Your setup sends a little complicated lol. There should be no need to send audio to the tv since you can use the jack for headphones on the rreceive. I. You run audio from tv to headset the tv will not create virtual surround sound effects like the receiver can if setup properly.I know that the audio if hooked up the way I plan will automatically come from the headset like I plan. And I can get an adapter to plug the mic cable of e headset into the game pad. But the main thing is, I'd you have anything plugged into the Mic port on the game pad can you still get audio over the hdmi from yhe receiver or does all audio automatically get directed to the gamepad headphone plug with no option to change it?

However I think you ate correct as far as the microphone goes. I don't think there will be any way to use a mic with a dedicated cable since pluging in the headset would seem to disable audio going to the TV. unless Nintendo actually adds USB microphone support.

Does wii u support USB voice chat from something like a turtle beach headset? What size is the head phone Jack on the GamePad? I'm asking because my turtle beach has USB for the mic or it had a jack that fits the Xbox 360 controller which I think is smaller than the wii u game pad which is what 3.5mm?
Also if I have the mic from my headset plugged into the game pad with an adapter will the wii u stop playing audio over hdmi? I basically want to plug in the dedicated mic from my surround sound into the wii u and be able to get the game audio from my receiver the headset is plugged into. Just like it works with my 360

Great post. But its funny you like 360 better when you mainly listed exclusives under the ps3 category:) no offense or anything I just noticed most people for some reason prefer 360 over ps3 even tho it has very few exclusives. But I will say the 360 has great online and even tho the interface is confusing its much nicer than the ps3 interface.
But yeah the Wii u is the first time in a long time I have actually found my self playing it for hours losing track of time. Even if I stop playing a game I usually get lost in mii verse for a hour and then get lost in tvii lol
