Well, I have a phone, I just wanted to use the 3DS. I really like the circle pad and it has a great battery life. I actually am considering a Vita, though, just not super pumped about spending another $100 on a handheld.
I think it would be suoer nice if you joined that Github. I've been tearing apart the rom I have with your patch, trying to find what has and hasn't been done yet. You've done quite a bit already, and I haven't found many noticable errors.
