@biggestsonicfan A TAD.
actually the Wheel of Fortune (2010, Wii) one is my primary focus, but I took a quick look at the Switch one to see if there was any low-hanging fruit and almost immediately got slapped in the face by incest anime, so I had to write about it

@foone ow my neck

@foone obviously the codebase is based on the Oreimo tie-in game and they didn’t hide all the assets

Jokes aside, it was TREMENDOUSLY popular at the time and basically launched the incest genre so maybe it’s just that

@foone i have a hacked switch, and this is hilarious science.
how can i help

foone, 6 months ago

@xorowl can you acquire a copy of Wheel of Fortune (either the most recent one or the original pre-update release) and look into the Ubisoft club option on the menu? And see if an anime girl is shown on any pages. I can't get it to load on an emulator, but that is my #1 theory for where this image is used

xorowl, 6 months ago

@foone Hmm, Ubisoft Club might require making an account and connecting to their website

foone, 6 months ago

@xorowl I don't think that's possible anymore. I was thinking it might show the image before you sign up

xorowl, 6 months ago

@foone how did you get as far as finding the image?
Is there any way to find reference to the file in the code?

foone, 6 months ago

@xorowl I used UABE or AssetStudio, I can't recall which. And I wasn't able to figure out what (if anything) references it, because the tools don't properly expose that info for this version.

xorowl, 6 months ago

@foone maybe! i'll see what i can do

foone, 6 months ago

This is the image, btw.
It's a cropped version of a wallpaper for (one of the) PSP games for the anime "Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai", or "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute", aka Oreimo.

@foone I remember when you found this. I too would like to know the story.

@foone well that's horrifying

flimpie, 6 months ago

@foone sorry, what

foone, 6 months ago

@flimpie EXACTLY!
"what" indeed.

This image is in there and I don't know WHY

coolpowers, 6 months ago

@foone you can kind of defend Oreimo, until the end. Then you just kind of feel like a shower.

lulolwen, 6 months ago

@foone I really feel like the explanation is as simple as "a dev needed to test image ingestion and this was the most recent image in their downloads folder".

@lulolwen @foone You do know the story of Lenna, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna

foone, 6 months ago

@manu @lulolwen Kirino is the new Lenna

foone, 6 months ago

the game IS made with Unity, which famously is really good at ingesting resources and then hiding the fact that they're in the system somewhere because they're not referenced anywhere anymore. So it's entirely possible this was a test image for something that's not actually used anymore

FriKitty, 6 months ago

@foone It's so funny that is Oreimo though

dtauvdiodr, 6 months ago

@foone We play this game all the time! I have no idea what image this is tho.

... maybe some things are best left unanswered?

@foone I could sell you one, has no controllers, just the console alone. But you're probably able to get them on eBay for the same price...

masta, 6 months ago

@foone That might make owning the game a legal offense under threat of mandatory jailtime in some countries (like Germany).

foone, 6 months ago

@masta it's not an explicit image, so I doubt it.

momo, 6 months ago

@foone
I remember the image from your other thread and yes, you're fine in germany (and probably in all other countries as well)
