What exactly does the 3DS have to play online anyway? Animal Crossing, Pokémon and Mario Kart? Everything else seems to be a desolate wasteland.

Pokémon and Animal Crossing you already need legit carts to play anyway and Mario Kart on 3DS will be rendered obsolete this year with Mario Kart 8.

mario kart 8 is for wii u

that being said online play is pretty lacking on the 3ds, but something else not being able to play online does is means people cant buy DLC for games

so i think everyone missed what the user posted about first let me put this out there when running 2.02b (yes i know OH NO A BRICK) however when running it with the latest emunand booted into classic mode you can plan online with LEGIT game carts which was one of the original posters questions i have tested this with mario kart 7 havent tried Animal crossing or pokemon as i dont own them but i do play online with the gw mode installed running latest emunand or i did..untill recently i went back to 4.5 on the 2.01b firmware to avoid bricking i will mention this..i own 2 3ds consoles a legit 7.1ofw and my gateway one on 4.5 ofw with emunand now at 4.5 however when i had it on 7.1 emunand it seemed to have some hickups with online play nothing major..it just disconnected every 5 or 6 races i played which isnt so bad atleast that was my experience with it.. i never had that problem on the ofw 3ds

I'm not entirely sure that it is hopeless. While it may not be much, the fact that you can download the daily puzzles for Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask means it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility of working with other games.

I hate to derail this thread, but are you saying you can unban PSN *accounts* or just the consoles? I got both banned and had to make a whole new account, with new Plus and everything, I lost all my purchases.

Consoles only .. Once an account gets banned it's permanent .
btw don't get a plus membership if you know your PSN account might get banned, it's just pure logic.

Yeah, I have two accounts now, one for my CFW PS3 and one for my Vita.

At the time I didn't know there was a risk just using CFW (I wasn't even playing backed up games online, ONLY running the CFW and signing in) and I used the same account on both systems

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
