Hey guys, just to manage expectations here, I've been working on it for a few months now and the majority of it has been getting Kodi's many dependencies to build (which is done), so it's not nearly finished.
I see people are expecting/asking if this works: Don't expect it to build, much less work (not to mention there's unpushed stuff that would be needed).

So, it needs a lot more work. And I could always run into issues that hold it back for a long time (as has already happened) or forever.

I'm not sure I'd have kept the branch public if I had known people would get so hyped up about it without even anything functional, but thank you all for the encouragement. :)

It's been talked about on discord. I'm sure you'll hear more when it's ready.

Will the patch be just for Youtube or will it also work for Netflix and other video services (of course you would still need a Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/whatever account for said services to work).

The patched youtube app I was talking about is available now in the usual places, and yeah it's just for youtube, so you can use it without it checking with the nintendo servers. The same thing could be done with hypothetical netflix/whatever apps in the future, if any are released.

Velocity,

I saw this was forked from https://github.com/garbear/xbmc, which is actually a port of kodi made into a emulator called RetroPlayer. "RetroPlayer is a new player core for Kodi Entertainment Center. It is similar to the video and audio players, but it plays games instead of movies and music."

Are you trying to port Kodi, or Retroplayer?

    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.

    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.
