  So uh, a few months ago I made a post on my Mastodon about being psyched about getting a very early Wii-U devkit (a white one "V4"), the first one that had been sold/dumped publicly. Well uh today I can say we successfully secured 4 (Factory/Nintendo Only) Wii-U devkits that are just as old. These units (lovingly referred to as "Ketchup" & "Mustard"), were never documented anywhere in any SDKs, contain internal only JTAG boards (it is not currently known if the...

  With how many projects and times have step like 15 turn into “okay now compile LLVM from scratch”, I should probably just start compiling LLVM as a step one, right alongside buying a domain name for it.

  Oh this like isn’t anywhere as bad as I thought. This all like makes quite a bit of sense. I definitely understand how there’s like a much longer learning curve I’m probably not super suited for, but the basics of shaders and buffers like, damn.

  Happy to say I have acquired the first CAT-DEV v4 (one of the prototype Wii-U devkits), and even happier to say that the tools I’ve been developing for these devices mostly “just worked”. This is not as useful as the “v2” cat-dev (aka “Toucan”) would’ve been, but is just as rare (there only ever being one that publicly was known to be sold). It is running firmware and has stickers from early 2012. I was able to dump the usual suspects from the “MION” board (the board that holds the internal ha...

  My partner dragged me to a chilis, and they had a braille menu??? Out of thousands of restaurants I’ve been to, the one who accommodated me was chilis???? Okay damn.
