    DevKitPro vs BlocksDS?

    Thank you for the reply. One thing i noticed with BlocksDS, is that it's just has a few more annoying installation steps over DevkitPro (it was rather simple after adding the pacman repository), namely you have to do everything trough the wonderful toolchain - could this be simplified a bit? It...

    DevKitPro vs BlocksDS?

    can't find the link, but read somewhere, that they reduced the code to grab input (touch+buttons) from 8kb to 1kb, or along those lines. i presume after all these years people figured so much thing about the DS, that they can do some heavy optimization to existing techniques, but some of them...

    DevKitPro vs BlocksDS?

    Recently started a homebrew project for Nintendo DS. Years ago I learned the existence of DevKitPro as the go-to toolchain to develop for the DS. I went as far as setting up a basic build pipeline for myself and managed to build some of my own code, using DevKitPro, that runs on DeSmuME...

    Would like to buy a New *DS normal or XL, some questions about the features of each of them.

    I know it requires the 4MB expansion slot, but was expecting, that someone ported quake 2 to DSi native mode to utilize the x4 more RAM which is much faster than the +4MB ran trough the gba port. theoretically it could run even faster in higher resolution.

    the D-pad is that bad both on DSi and DSiXL? and yeah, I played quake 2 on my DSL, but can't the DSi play it also? so far I'm 100% sure I'll get a DSiXL and then try to hunt down a n3DS non XL then. thanks for the suggestions

    Would like to buy a New *DS normal or XL, some questions about the features of each of them.

    thanks for the info. i'm buying a DSi anyway, coz they are dirt cheap even as new, compared to other consoles. i might buy a normal DSi and an XL, but is there one that is strictly better than the other in that many aspects, that i should just go for that one?

    Would like to buy a New *DS normal or XL, some questions about the features of each of them.

    thanks. it's in progress for me to buy a DSi as I can buy a pretty good one really cheap. I have read the IPS/TN screen discrepancy on the n3DS*. is there any way to find it out in a subtle way on ebay when I ask for close-up screenshots from the seller to see if it's IPS or TN screen? About...

    Would like to buy a New *DS normal or XL, some questions about the features of each of them.

    Currently have a modded DSLite, it's good but got really outdated by now. I would like to buy a model of the "New" DS series, but don't really know which one, because not everything seemed to be a straight upgrade compared to the other versions: 3DS/2DS: except for some niche cases, to fool...

    thank for the replies one of our basic problems is that makes the game boring that everyone plays on a bowser bike with funky kong or one of the bowsers or on a mach bike with daisy or princess peach - for obvious reasons, everyone looked it up on the wiki and thought that +6 speed can make a...
