Why people insist on using untested nightlies is beyond my understanding, O.o

Stick with the Stable version and stop updating every single time you turn on the console, ;)
To be fair, the nightlies work 95% of the time, We're having a rare blip at the moment.

The stable builds tend to be significantly behind the latest nighlies. We're just lucky right now that the most recent stable was released 2 days ago.

That would be a good point if there were HUGE diferences between versions.

As far as I see it (I might be terribly wrong) from version v5.5 (the one by the time of the old Guide) as the same functions (except the naming and the PIN function on CONFIG) as this latest version so, wgy UPDATE?

But, this is my opinion and that's all...

So apperently the luma updater was fixed, and now i noticed a new luma update, i got it :)
But what is it for? It says something about Nintendo DS anti piracy and homebrew but does it mean flashcarts? :unsure:

you know how when you play ds and gba games, they usually stretch a bit on the 3ds? and that you can hold the select button to force them back into their native, non blurry resolution?

i've been wondering if, using luma/a9hl, there was a way to switch that around? make the games use native resolution and only stretch them when you hold start or select? its a minor thing, but i keep finding myself resetting games because i forgot to hold the buttons.

Are you referring to how gameboy titles have that fake gameboy frame with the kinda funny 3D thing? I use it sometimes cause it is funny. I Use NTR CFW to turn brightness to lowest then sit near the window for sunlight or a lamp and play game and watch gallery like it was 1999 :P

kinda, it does that thing with the custom borders for gameboy and gameboy color games. for gameboy games, if you hold L+R+Y it even gives everything that green tint from way back when.

but for gba and original ds games, it just shrinks the screen down to the native resolution without any borders. and if its possible, i'd love the option to automatically use that native resolution.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

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

    @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

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    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.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @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 @ 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

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
