dsi-camera. For video I have a branch called dsi-camcorder, quoting from Discord: (paraphrased)

@Pk11 you can't link to discord attachments anymore. The finally made links expire after a time.
Thank you! Can you briefly explain what the convert.py does? And what the output file is? I can tell that it converts the .bin to a series of PNG files, but I can't manage to run the python script using Python 3.8.

The bin simply contains raw 256x192 15bpp BGR bitmap frames concatenated together, with u32 delays in between (in CPU cycles iirc, I meant to make that actually useful with milliseconds or so but haven't gotten around to it)
You probably just need to install Pillow (pip3 install Pillow) to run it.
Wow, Nintendo's had a thing for 15bit color since the GameBoy Advance. I'm curious, does f.read do 8bits at a time? If so, isn't there a bit missing each time or does the camera just leave an extra bit on the end of each pixel palette? Sorry, I don't know much about how the DSi Camera works. Or Python. Especially Python.

The highest bit of each 16-bits is always zero. It has a few uses on the DS depending on video mode (transparency bit, LSB of green), but with the camera it's just unused.
Edit: Actually it's probably always one, not zero, I don't remember for sure.

@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.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
