Configurations for Nintendo Homebrew Compilation

Warning Committing the .vscode files to your git repo should not be done, as configurations are not fully portable.

The file c_cpp_properties.json contains configurations for Nintendo 3DS, Switch, and Wii U. This helps with intellisense. Create .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json in your project directory and then copy and paste the content as applicable.

This file was changed since it was uploaded to my GitHub repository to use the "env" JSON key. This is so more profiles can be easily created with defaults for each console and then adding extras, such as a debugging profile. On top of that, it was moved to a gist because they are much easier to update.

Analysis of the Infrared Pointing Sensor in the Wii Remote

Hand-translated to English by multiplemonomials

I took the infrared sensor from the PCB inside the remote, and I tried attaching an 8 pin (4 pins in two rows) connector to it.

Removing a Mac's Firmware Password By Reflashing EFI ROM

According to Apple, the only way to remove an unknown firmware password from a MacBook (2011 and later) is to take it to the Apple Store with the original proof-of-purchase. However, I've found that there is another way, which I've been successful with for the unibody MacBook Pro--it's essentially just modifying a couple bytes in the EFI ROM, which should be simple. What's not simple, however, is figuring out how to read and write to the EFI chip. In this post, I'll talk about the process that I figured out and what worked for me.

The Official Method

Apple's method of resetting the firmware password is not reproducible, as Apple generates an SCBO file that unlocks the EFI using their private key. You can read more about this process here. The problem with this system is that, if you are in the unfortunate situation of neither having the firmware unlock pass
