Hmmm. If pressing the home button takes a screenshot, what if someone edits it to continuously take screenshots on a separate background thread? That would make a video recording, wouldn't it?

I think that would also take its toll, at least on O3DS. We're all aware tht taking a video from a 3DS is hard (and expensive) for now, but we should be able to take screenshots first.

Lol. That's true it may take its toll. But man, video recording without a capture card is the dream!

Dude, there are games that take the O3DS to its ultimate limit, recording video would actually FRY IT xD

It takes a lot of power to capture and encode video. On PC it isn't noticeable, but i'm doubtful about even N3DS being able to.

It's expensive because some dumbass thinks a 30$ capture card that records in 240p and lacks sound is worth 300$ PLUS you shipping your console to him.

I've talked to the guy on numerous occasions. Enormous d-bag.

Yup, i'm aware. Even knowing that, because of the final price and the lack of alternatives it is still expensive

why? won't that give Emu's more breathing room to achieve slightly higher FPS's?

That would be proccessing power. To put an example, i recently upgraded from an Athlon X2 7550 (2 cores, 2.5 Ghz) to a FX 4350 (4 cores, 3.8 Ghz) with the same amount of RAM (4 GB)

The improvement has been too great. Now i can move at 60 fps games that barely reached 20 fps, and the RAM is the same. Memory being that relevant is only marketing. It IS relevant, but only to a certain point.

You already have kernel access. What more could you possibly want?

How about a .3ds (or .cia) homebrew browser that can be used to directly run a .3dsx with all the same permissions as Ninjhax and the other -hax so that I don't have to boot up a ROM of Cubic Ninja or something else first? Also, use kernel permission to allow use of 80% of the core on an O3DS.

    ooowwww a new way for me to beat NFS 510 :D @SylverReZ

  • 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 :)
