Still waiting for a source.
Game cartridges have two or more chips - one is the ROM chip that contains the game and isn't rewritable, one is eeprom/FLASH which stores the save files and is rewritable, the additional chips may be memory controllers or additional, game-specific hardware (very rare - memory controllers are embedded on the silicone of the memory chips nowadays, mapper chips are a thing of the past and none of the 3DS games uses game-specific hardware as of today). That's how cartridges work in general, not just on the 3DS. If you want a source for this basic knowledge, read some articles on wikipedia concerning cartridges. If you want a 3DS-specific source, read up on 3DS-brew.

...wasn't going to post... but read the likes YOU posted... there some proof on that there..
I have read them actually. The closest is "it allows for nearly instant load time and code execution. Software run directly from ROM typically uses less RAM, leaving memory free for other processes. While the standard size of optical media dictates a minimum size for devices which can read disks," which it lacks.

That's a statement, not a source.

dont, just leave while you can. you wont find anything new here for a bit, these guys are having an epic battle to see who is smarter. my bet is on me ;)

You know man, I am a programmer, Foxi and Pro2man are programmers too.
Would you question a doctor's diagnostic?
Probably no, because he have spent his life studying about that.

But let's suppose you do,
if you want a second professional opinion,
and after seeing a new doctor's with same diagnostic you're still not convinced,
If you see a third doctor, and he gives you the same diagnostic,
do you still think this diagnostic is wrong?

That's basically the same case.

Implying i'm not a programmer either. I specialize in Ironpython. I'm credited with the new Windows 8 exploit. We're on even ground here.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Toxic pills are best
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, He fucked around and found out.
