Have you heard of the JumboTron DS? It's an amazing modification made by a Japanese guy posted on Youtube a long time ago, in the video description there's a link that doesn't work anymore (but thanks to the Internet Archive we can see the content) that shows the step by step of how to make a GIANT DS AND FUNCTIONAL, being able to even take screenshots of the game (I don't remember if it is possible to record the screen, I think so), and years later they discover that it is possible to play DS on the TV by soldering something on the board, it would be this old project of a Japanese to solution to record gameplay directly from the console? I would love for someone to translate the walkthrough on his website so I can try it on my console too!

You can take a look at the JumboTron in this video here:

is possible to play DS on the TV by soldering something on the board
No, that's a relatively recent discovery that only applies to the DS Lite and only outputs one screen at any time...

This is a rather made-for-purpose setup (two scalers, one for each screen - I doubt there are many off-the-shelf laptop monitors with DPI input + ability to sync to DS scan rates + builtin scaler; and another comparable rig for the touchscreen - a traditional inductive tablet pen has nothing to do with the DS series' resistive touchscreen)

Of course if you don't need touch input you can just get a developer unit:

    It's honestly a good looking graphics card

    oh my fucking god I just had a 3d print fail, while printing the most expensive filament I've ever printed
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's PLA filament from ProtoPasta with copper metal particulate mixed into the plastic blend. It's $100/kg, and my failed print is 149g of it. :cry:

    supprised it took THIS LONG for intel to start making dGPU's

    i wonder who'll wini the price war now with intel in the fray
  • chrisrlink @ chrisrlink:
    then again they always say "Three's a crowd"
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @chrisrlink, does anyone really care though? Intel has never really been known for graphics performance, aside from the amazing transcode capabilities of Intel Quicksync. I can't see PC gamers for example moving over to Intel any time remotely soon since Intel hasn't established a position yet in the higher end gaming GPU market
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    More options is never a bad thing, of course. I just don't think it's going to cause any meaningful disruption to the stranglehold that Nvidia and AMD have
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    At least not for quite a few years
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @Sicklyboy They do look like really good cards though. They have insane value (Not A-series value but still more than the 7600)

    @Sicklyboy I hope the b580 b570 are good so that gpu manufacturers will lower the markup

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Admittedly I haven't seen any specs/reviews yet so I'm not sure how any of it stacks up
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Guess I'll have to watch the Gamers Nexus video later! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1fEpWy9B0c
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @Sicklyboy it hasn't released yet so we don't have review but here are intel provided benchmarks:

    The data is a little bit weird. I would take this with a grain of salt that you could choke on

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I thought that said 10x (10 TIMES) faster than a 4060 lmaoooo
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I was like yeah, OK.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm definitely interested to see how that pans out. Like I said, more options is never a bad thing. I mean, bad for intel maybe if it totally flops. But for real, hopefully it works well and there's more competition in the gaming GPU space.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @Sicklyboy The first one says %36 faster than the 4060 but I think the second one is right since the first one I screenshotted from a yt video

    Anyways, I'm excited for dec 12 when it launches so I can see the benchmarks and reviews
