Please do *NOT* insert the original disc! [Video 2 minutes, 720p, 8MB]

Blog entry Gallery
Another blog entry that will get no interest… In any case: This time I'll not write too much, I promise.

Just wanted to share a hilarious occurrence. I encountered this absurd situation during my research and call it "Please do *NOT* insert the original disc!"
The legit CD is rejected with "Emulator aktiv" – while the TwinStepper copy is accepted as legit after waving the "magic witch broom".

I can't think of something more embarrassing for a copy protection than this. (Sorry for the bad video quality, really compressed it down to keep the file size reasonable). Barely readable.
(Yes, the legit disc will work from the USB drive on top of the computer. And: Yes, the TwinStepper copy will trigger the emulator message in the internal drive as well. The protection classifies the physical IDE(!) drive as virtual/emulated drive.)

"Error on checking the CD or DVD: The disc
could not be identified as a valid original. Please
insert the original CD or DVD and restart
the program.

Emulator active: info…" (clickable link)

(Somebody helped me taking the video this time as I always fear to appear in reflections… so there thankfully is no way that I'm in this video.)

I definitely need more optical drives for testing…

@Creamu What are you even talking about?
There is literally nothing about EMF here. I found somebody who was willing to take the risk of filming this, but they don't *want* to appear on screen either... so using the broom for closing the not motorized drive was mandatory.
Besides: Alex likes the broom, so why not?

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.
