That's not the reason. There are 3-4 primary reasons:

- J-Selby, the author of the code doesn't feel it's ready yet
- I'd veto it because we currently don't support any basic texture functionality in the Software Rasterizer (texture interpolation for example)
- I'd veto it because we currently don't support any basic texture functionality in general (mipmapping + cubemaps)
- Texture forwarding (which this strongly depends on) still has some unsolved issues

Building software is like building other things too. Only because it's not physical doesn't mean it's simple.

It's like putting all the super-fancy furniture in your house while it's being build and doesn't even have a roof yet.
Sure, you can do that - but your furniture will soon look like shit with dirt all over it and the house will probably never be finished because construction workers have to walk around stuff which slows them down (or they might get pissed by your "I'll add furniture now lololol" attitude). What would likely happen is that they'd just throw the furniture out so they can actually work.

The same happens for Citra master / nightly: features we added to early are being kicked out / broken again + we do more important things (roof) first.
Bleeding edge is essentially cloning the work-in-progress Citra house and then a truckload of random furniture you bought of craigslist will be added: Some things will suck, some will be great - you'll have to drop some of it (because you have like 3 couches but you can only keep 1 + the chairs you like so much might not fit under the awesome table you also have = conflicts).
However, while the Citra house is still work in progress, you certainly won't buy a jaccuzi or some shit (a hose will have to do).
And texture filtering is certainly a jacuzzi.

Thanks for explanation :)

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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.

    @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.

    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
    for people with beefy hands.

    @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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • 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."

    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.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
