Review: Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS
At first glance, it looks like your average Mario platformer. The box shows Mario jumping over to some Bricks, while avoiding a Goomba with a Tandooki tail. But then you put the game cart into the 3DS, and this is where it shines. This review will be seperated into “Graphics”, “Gameplay”, “Audio” and then a summary of the game in general.
Want!!!!!! K-ON!! PS3 Themes Video
The Playstation Network in Japan announced a release schedule for the “Evangelion” and “K-ON!” anime series themes within the past week
Here’s a video of the K-ON! themes in use
Modern Warfare 3: Catchable Fatal Error – “Reliable Command Buffer Overflow”
Yeah, that error that you see above happened to myself eariler this evening playing the “Goalpost” mission of Modern Warfare 3. Unlike how the game would randomly crash in eariler versions of Modern Warfare, MW3 catches that error and kicks you back to the title screen. A little discomforting, shooting away, screen flickers and title screen appears. The exit button was also a little confusing – would I have to restart MW3 or was this going to close the popup?
Coburn’s Where to Buy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 guide
So. The big day has arrived. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has arrived on Australian shores. Now, before you run out with your wallet where your mouth is, let me help you out and save a few dollars so you can afford 6 pack of energy drinks on the way home.
Coburn’s Domain Launches our own Team Fortress 2 Server!
If you don’t check the founder’s twitter (@coburn64), you may not have known that a Team Fortress 2 Server was quietly on the to-do list. Well, we’ve made this possible, harnessing the power of a old laptop* that we had kicking around in the storage room.
At the moment, we have capacity for just 6 players, which is ideal for 3v3 matches. As we get more bandwidth, we’ll expand to a maximum of 12 players (hopefully).
3DS Homebrew Update: Homebrew runs via Serial I/O, apparently.
According to a hacker under the nickname of “MSaki” on our IRC channel, who chimed in to say that unauthorised (aka homebrew) binaries have been successfully running on the Nintendo 3DS, homebrew has seen the light on the supposedly locked-down console.
We cannot confirm if the guide is genuine, as we don’t have a test Nintendo 3DS to try it on.
Coburn’s Domain launches Nintendo 3DS Hacking Wiki; let’s hack that Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS Hacking Wiki is a wiki deciated to portable freedom on the recently released Nintendo 3DS. By portable freedom, we mean, custom software (also known as homebrew) running on the 3DS, such as console emulation, movie players, system software mods and 3DS Linux, just to name a few.
The 3DS Hacking Wiki can be found here, at http://3ds.coburndomain.net. Of course, it’ll be a slow start, but if we all pitch in and help out, before we know it, we’ll have homebrew running on our 3DS consoles. See you there!
Nintendo 64 Android Emulator, N64oid, back up for download
Remember how the Nintendo 64 Emulator, n64oid, got removed from the Android market for some reason? Well, thanks to the long hours of searching here at Coburn’s Domain, we’ve managed to find the emulator and bring it back for the public to download.
Now, the latest version we found was version 1.1.4, and the author doesn’t seem to have a homepage. That aside, you can grab the installation package at this link. Plug in your Android device, select USB Mass Storage (or Memory Card Access) and copy that file over. Then, use your favorite File Manager to install N64oid.
Our word on Sony, PlayStation Network and recent hackings
Here at Coburn’s Domain, we’ve been observing the recent attacks that Sony’s online intrastructure has been copping from unknown identities. While the details vary, we can confirm, from a trusted news source and local news and current affair programs, that the Australian side of the PlayStation Network was indeed hacked and large number of Australian PlayStation Network gamer profiles (that contained personal data and also credit card identification) were crippled as a result along with the massive hack that the global network suffered.
Project Café: Nintendo’s next-gen console details leaked, surprise in store
As posted on the Emuparadise message forums under the user of lizard81288, some details of Nintendo’s upcoming console-to-end-all-consoles have surfaced. Of course, Coburn’s Domain can’t confirm if these specifications are authentic, but we’ll try to confirm them. Here’s the skinny (with commentary):
A new report from French technology website 01net says that the recently rumored Nintendo HD platform is currently codenamed Project Cafe. The site, which leaked NGP specs before its announcement, claims to have tech specs and controller details for the console.
