Very this.

How about OpenDingux? B-)
I don't understand why people are so insistant on running Linux on everything including their pinguin-shaped vibrators. The system has poor hardware, it won't run Linux terribly well and it'll only waste resources - why do that for the sake of Linux apps which will still have to be ported or adjusted anyways when you might as well make equivalent apps just for the 3DS? It will save you time porting, sure, but in the long run it only wastes precious resources.

You shush foxi. Linux is a rite of passage for every new homebrew scene.
GBA interpreter, since the 3ds already has native support for gba games.
Is there a programming language called GBA? o.0
A Homebrew Browser equivalent.
I'm more excited for a Homestar Browser. :P

Fair enough, I'm just saying it's going to be proof-of-concept at best. Your average smartphone has more firepower than the 3DS as far as everyday computing goes, so why bother? Hell, the average smartphone probably already runs Linux. :rofl2: The whole point of homebrew on the 3DS is the fact that it's a console, so we do console-oriented stuff on it. :P

He probably means AGB_FIRM.

A easy and sweet sega saturn emulator. Then i will finally can play Sotn with Maria on the road, the city and the farm house.
And a 3dsflow for future roms could be good too.

A comic book/manga reader might be nice. Also some automated way to collect Streetpass data over the net, though I guess that's pretty tricky. Finally, tools for customising the interface and creating themes would be awesome.

The problem with a GBA emu (besides speed) is the scale filtering will be limited to bilinear, so it would look like crap. Like it is on the PSP/Wii emulators. The ambassador games which are always fullspeed have not just a sharp scaling filter but all the GBA and lcd imitation effects, like the dark colors, motion blur, ghosting, etc. Compare it yourself

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
