Big fan of #Utaite (particularly doing covers of #Vocaloid music,) games, and technology. Unfortunately I've been falling out of anime these days (harder and harder to get into things for me) and don't watch much anymore. I'm also a very slight bit of an audiophile (but limited budgets make it hard to be much of one.)

Please do not autofollow just because you saw a post of mine show up somewhere or something. Try at least speaking to me...

BTW I rarely ever click random links. Say what you want to say. Please.

  • The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective

  • @jodanlime I always wondered why Nintendo never just did the whole thing that SONY did where the PSP could connect up to a PS3 and that sort of thing. I felt sure they would do that with the Switch when it came out, but they didn't.

    I can't entirely agree that that was a defining factor that would make or break it though. The GB, GBC, GBA, NDS, and 3DS all were not dockable and they were all insanely successful for a really long time. The thing is, truly portable gaming is different. Each has its own purpose and use-case and allows for different gaming experiences. The Switch gave us full-scale games with full-scale graphics (within limits) and the full console experience in handheld, but the 3DS was small, light, and easily played hours and hours on end even lying down.

  • @jodanlime @PerfectDark I'm wondering about even this. It really feels like Nintendo almost entirely stopped caring about the Switch Lite not even that long after it came out. It should definitely have been a bigger focus IMO, but everyone seems to want everything bigger and bigger and bigger these days...

    I too absolutely miss just sticking my N3DS in my pocket. (Also StreetPass. Why did that go away with the Switch??)

  • @PerfectDark Got my HD hooked up. I need to reinstall some stuff among other things, so now was a good time.

    Add to my earlier list:IcoShadow of the ColossusDragon Quest VIII (don't worry, zero connection between DQ games of this range, so it doesn't matter where you start)Drakan - kind of fun game, but don't play on disc, use a harddriveNeed for Speed Underground 2Odin Sphere (hard to believe this is a PS2 game graphically! But sadly gameplay does get grindy and repetitive. Heck of a story and graphics though.)R-Type FinalRule of Rose (might be hard to find)Ys VI: Ark of NapishtimBaroque translationBreath of Fire V: Dragon QuarterPhantasy Star Universe (undub)Star Ocean 3 (undub)Wizardry - Tales of the Forsaken LandRogue Galaxy

    There are more!

  • @PerfectDark There are two Tenchu games on the PS2, but I loved that one because the one character (Rin I believe was her name) was a lot more fun to play somehow. Couldn't say how, just was.

    It's a stealth game though, so if you don't like stealth you probably won't like Tenchu. You can technically play it without stealth, but it's not going to be much fun...

    Persona 3 is excellent. I think, depending on preferences, 3 and 4 are the best in the series. 5 had its moments, but it was like 75% of 4 to me story-wise. Between 3 and 4 it depends on what you like. 4 is a bit lighter-hearted and more "Japanese culture" whereas 3 is much darker and more directly "save the world" type stuff.

  • @PerfectDark Oh man, I have so many... The PS2 was probably my favorite actual console before the Switch and even then I have so much nostalgia... I think I have a few recommends you may not hear as much elsewhere and a bunch you probably will. Should I dig out my HD and remind myself of things?

    Here are what immediately come to mind:

    Ar Tonelico 1 & 2 - beautiful RPGs, deep stories, music that blows the mind. Undub of course.Persona 3 FES & Persona 4 (undubs preferable)The Burnout games are good to work out some things, lol.Katamari games of course.Pop'n Music 11-14Disgaea 1 & 2 (undubs)Shin Megami Tensei III (Nocturne)Melty Blood: Act CadenzaTenchu Fatal Shadows (best one in the series IMO)Tales of the Abyss

    Oh geez, I need to dig out the HD. I need to reinstall anyway

    It's very good!

    I should really be listening to more of Mumei's covers. Just... I have a bad kneejerk against anyone with big money backing them, lol. But there are exceptions! Mumei should be one of those exceptions for me.

  • @leo85811nardo @neme That's the maddening thing about all this. Everyone who installs a Meta app on their phone is giving information about all of their contacts to Meta to abuse without permission from those contacts. Same for so many others. I don't even want to think about what X may be doing by this point.

    And you try to tell such people "you know this thing is bad and collects data it shouldn't be allowed to, right?" They'll say "I know" and then keep using it anyway. I wish there was a way to get them to understand that it's the digital equivalent of having cameras installed in their bathroom or something and not just their own bathroom, but another pointed outward, zoomed in on their neighbors' bathroom windows.

  • Question about the ds lite, dsi, and gba games.

    Jump

  • @neonnova I can understand that. The main thing I wanted to emphasize was mostly just that when a 3DS runs a NDS or GBA game and when a NDS or DSi runs a GBA game it is running in 100% hardware. There might be compatibility issues due to the loading process itself (especially 100% software loading like GBA mode on the DSi or 3DS) but the system actually reboots into that mode running directly on the actual chipset itself. That means other than any issue the loader might introduce, things run 100% speed with 100% exactness because it literally is the same hardware.

    BTW as far as emulating NDS and/or 3DS goes if you ever have to, some emulators like RetroArch's will let you set one screen to be big and the other small. This helps a lot sometimes. Most games only really use one screen

  • Question about the ds lite, dsi, and gba games.

    Jump

  • @neonnova Seems like not really a bunch, but that page is specifically for GBALoader. I don't know about the "Virtual Console" loader, but I'm pretty sure it has fewer compatibility issues because I've played a few of those "no boot" games. At least on the 3DS. (I never had a DSi. I went straight from NDS to 3DS.)

    I would assume there are surely tools for building "Virtual Console" images for the DSi as well. I know on the 3DS there's a great one called "New Super Ultimate Injector" but it's probably 3DS only (it gives you a .cia installer file.) If there are that should open up some options.

    Otherwise, with the hardware range mentioned, you would indeed have to do a slot 2 cart. IMO it's a lot more inconvenient, but YMMV. They do draw a bit more power though. Bear that in mind

  • Question about the ds lite, dsi, and gba games.

    Jump

  • @neonnova This is incorrect. NDS, DSi, and 3DS do not emulate GBA games. They have the actual chip that the GBA uses inside them (the NDS used the same chip for sound processing, so GBA got grandfathered into the 3DS by virtue of it supporting NDS games.)

    The only thing I can think of that you might have read is some may not have liked the screen resizing. It should be the same between the NDS and the DSi however. Early 3DS firmwares had a resize people apparently didn't like, but by the time I ever got a 3DS it looked fine. Maybe you heard that?

    The only problem is that since they use a 100% hardware exact method, this doesn't include support for special hardware in the few games with it. The few games with them needed special patches. (There aren't many games like that though.)
