@ipg gogo gadget, corrupt the MBR
@ipg That is the best debug spew I've seen in a while.
@ipg reminds me of that hack in the Linux Kernel to corrupt the IDT to force a triple fault if ACPI does not work to reboot
@ipg ah, the good old "[takes out crowbar] i'm not asking" school of software
@ipg are you emulating vegas or bollywood?
@Rairii what?

@ipg bollywood added some extra registers, which are afaik incorrectly documented in places as being wii u only

for example it adds some registers that maps VI to the IOP (and prevents access to it from PPC)

@ipg this is also how I kill Windows processes that get stuck waiting in a blocking kernelmode call somewhere and can't be terminated normally. open a handle to it, make a new thread in some garbage location, force it to crash the whole thing. also tends to work if you unmap random memory pages.
@gsuberland i was running into this with my capture card's proprietary software on windows and i am so glad you told me a way to terminating it that doesn't involve rebooting thank you so much
@ipg Cheat Engine turns out to be a remarkably good tool for doing this kind of intentional b0rkage, too
