...but it gets the job done. Once I have the maps ID, I just hand that over to the density API and tada! I know how busy a location is.

From there the UI side was easy. I just have a row of four person icons, with each one representing 20% occupancy, and it […]

TigerCenter being a by-students-for-students service center, which I can’t find much info on, but it exists and is at least occasionally maintained. Fortunately for me, this API has a *lot* dining information available, including hours, daily specials, and […]

For those curious, this is the crappy stock image for this motherboard. Weird “GAMER!!!”design aside t looks especially bad because it’s small on screen and just surrounded by black lol
A metallic grey background with sparks coming from the bottom and the text “MAG” in white at the center. It’s also like 400x300 so it’s weird small for the purpose.

Managed to finally change the boot logo for my motherboard so it isn’t the weird metal MSI MAG thing anymore! Much happier with this one! Might make it a little smaller still so the spinner doesn’t clip with it, but either way a cute fluffy dragon is a huge […]

Photo of a computer monitor showing the early stages of the computer booting. On screen is a cute drawing of a red, fluffy, anthropomorphic dragon with yellow wings wearing a white hoodie and grey shorts. The text “msi” is to the bottom left of the dragon, and at the very bottom of the screen is the triangle logo for Arch Linux and the text “archlinux”.

Jesus christ. I know LTT can’t ever resist clickbait, but I really thought they were above this.

This video existing will only make the problem worse, and is going to spread even more confusion and fear. Do better.

NUSGet Web now supports URL parameters! This should make it easier to share a specific title with someone if they need to download it. The valid parameters are "tid", "ver", "format", "console", and "wadname", and the URL will automatically be filled in with […]

A screenshot of the NUSGet Web interface, with the parameters on screen filled out with the values TID: 0000000100000009, Version: 1034, WAD Name: IOS9-64-v1034.wad. The URL is also visible, demonstrating that these parameters were specified as part of the URL and were loaded in the interface automatically.

Revisited the whole Webassembly client-side NUSGet idea, and I've gotten a prototype working!

This version of NUSGet Web runs more or less the same Python code as NUSGet/WiiPy, but locally in your browser thanks to WASM. This will allow for much more […]

A web interface with the heading "NUSGet Web Beta v1.0" at the top, with the text "WASM Client Side Version - Return to Client-Server Stable Release" below it. The interface features a text entry box labeled "Title ID", a text entry box labeled "Version", a disabled dropdown labeled "Console" with the option "Wii" selected, and a set of radio buttons labeled "Download Format", where only one one option is not disabled, labeled "Installable Archive (WAD/TAD)". Below this interface is a button labeled "Start Download" and an empty box with a black border. The same interface as the previous image, now with "0000000100000002" entered in the "Title ID" box and "513" entered in the "Version" box. The previously empty box at the bottom of the page is now showing a verbose log of the download process, listing each piece of content downloaded and its ID and size in bytes.

New day, new NUSGet Web update! The site has a new Bootstrap-based look, and now allows you to download encrypted and decrypted contents, which will be served as a ZIP files. There's also way more error handling both in the frontend and backend, so I trust […]

An updated version of the NUSGet Web interface, now titled "NUSGet Web Beta" at the top. The form components have been updated to use Bootstrap rather than the default HTML style. There's also a new set of radio buttons under the title "Download Format" labeled "Installable Archive (WAD/TAD)", "Encrypted Contents", and "Decrypted Contents". Text next to the download button indicates that a Title with the Title ID "0000000100000009" was downloaded successfully.

Went ahead an opted for the split frontend/backend because this won't work client-side.

The backend is an API using Flask that's directly using libWiiPy to create a WAD for the requested title and version. The frontend makes a request to […]

thwarted by CORS :(

(I did try a public demo CORS proxy and my very basic code worked as expected, but that's not quite viable for production)
A screenshot of a very basic webpage featuring a logo with a downward facing arrow with the text "NUSGet Web Alpha" next to it. The site has two text entry boxes labeled "Title ID" and "Version", and a button that says "Download". The web console is open, revealing that an error occurred because the Nintendo Update Servers blocked the Cross-Origin Request that my JavaScript made.

Someone suggested that I should make a web app version of NUSGet, since all of what it does depends on downloading from the internet anyway, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

I have no JS experience and am bad at web design. I'm sure you couldn't tell […]

Screenshot of a very basic web page with the text "NUSGet Web Alpha" at the top. The page has no styling and features two text entry boxes labeled "Title ID" and "Version", as well as a dropdown currently displaying "Wii". Below those, there is a button labeled "Download".

Exciting new command for WiiPy! The new "emunand info" command will give you details about all titles installed to an EmuNAND, and will inform you if any installed titles depend on an IOS you don't have. This command is especially handy (to me at least) when […]
