Well it would be a good idea, but IR is just not the best connection thing imo. It would be handy for pokemon (if that uses IR, I don't know) but there aren't any other popular games I know of that use IR. And besides the cards would become more expensive.
I would almost say, put Bluetooth on it instead of IR, but that would be useless as there would be nothing to connect it with.
Maybe a dualshock 3, which would be awesome though...

Did you even read the title? Why would cards become more expensive simply by supporting the IR port that is already in the 3DS? In any case, this is all moot and the 3DS (3DS mode) has yet to be hacked.
And IR is much faster than bluetooth. The only issue would be holding the 3DS' steady enough to not lose the signal.
If it is possible to work, they'd have to manually make patches for all the games in RAM to re-route the IR stuff. This would normally mean an outright "no", but since it's only like 5 games total it might be possible.

Another pointless thread, but I would rather see the IR hacked for a universal touchscreen remote through a system menu hack 2 years from now.

gee you don't have to get all upset about it. That is just what I think will happen man. Besides, no one needs an IR port.
yeah i agree a homebew app for a touch screen universal remote would be awesome
they have them for iphone and ipod touch but stupid apple never put in an infrared emmiter even,which would have been dirt cheap ,much cheaper than a reciver also,and should have been implemented in the ipad,ipod touch and iphone from the begining,they have an adapter but its hella ugly,sticks way out and takes up your dock connector which sucks,the psp app is ok but there is no touch screen

well its kinda off topic,but now that koji metions it i also see posts about people talking about playing ds games with the analog controled on the 3ds with flashcards,so i was wonering is this at all possible?
can we use the analog for ds games on the 3ds?i mean they did enable the games to be stretched to fit the larger sernn so maybe they enabled the analog in ds mode,i havent got a 3ds yet so i dont know,so sorry if this is obvious

The analog stick works, but it's detected as a d-pad. Meaning there's no actual analog sensitivity.
EDIT:
EDIT:
It's not possible with GC/Wii, but it is with other systems for example PSX games can have their textures smoothed and be read faster when played in a PS2.koji2009 said:
I have a feeling it's going to be used like a motion controller for the Cafe. Something similar to how the Wii uses the IR port

Wouldn't this be different though? On the Wii in GC mode there is no home menu. If you want to get back to the SM you have to reboot the Wii. 3DS, hit home and it asks you if you want to close the game. DS has no Home button, but 3DS does and it works in DS games.
Anyone notice Nintendo got lazy? When they ported the few chunks of DS firmware to the 3DS, they left the "secret button" in the top left of the Internet Connections screen.

It does seem to be an emulator, because of some weird behavior, but noone is certain except Ninty...TehSkull said:

Emulator or not, some of the firmware is modified. Go into the Legacy DS Download Play. Hit (B) to exit it. Old DS's, it would shut down the system. 3DS it says "Return to menu?" So they obviously took enough care to modify the firmware to make it exit back to loader rather than shut down the system, but neglected to remove the useless secret button.
Also, only size difference between DS Lite and 3DS, touch screen wise, 3DS is slightly wider and a hair or two taller. Why do DS games look like shit on it though >_>

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.+1 -

@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".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@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."
