I'm really interested in Chip Decapping for 3DS and what will it bring.​
I searched thngs related to it and found this (i will post more links) It is called "Chip Art"
It's microscopic artwork built into integrated circuits of a Chip.​
It's so tiny that you need Microscope to see it :D
Links to Chip Art:​
If you find something related to this, post it here so everyone and myself else can see it.
And also, have fun and try to respect each other :)
Image of a buffalo, trailing buffalo chips,​
etched on a digital filter chip from the​
HP3582a audio spectrum analyzer.​
This classic dolphin image and Nintendo logo​
come from somewhere deep inside the Nintendo Game Cube.​
(I guess that's Why GC - Wii Emulator is called "Dolphin" :rolleyes: )​
P.S. What do you think they will find on 3DS chip? :ninja:

That's interesting, but is this really in the right section?

Hm, don't know really. I thought about where to put it, but i think it should be here because of 3DS decapping and all...

So where do you propose i should move it?

And also, if there's some Admin watching this Thread, is it OK for this to be here, in this section?

The dolphin emulator is called so because the codename for the Gamecube was "Dolphin", just as Revolution was the code name for the Wii.

I'm moving it to the art section, as it's not only about 3DS or even consoles.


I didn't know there where such arts and that it was a common practice.
This is interesting.

It was forever ago, but there was a special on this on some channel, trying to dig into it now but no such luck. The biggest one that stuck out was the Alien chipset from Space Invader.

Cool a Special! must find that... :O
Do you have a Pic of that Alien? :)

Yeah, me nether 'till today. Interesting indeed :D

Sure but who knew they will put a Dolphin image inside the Chip :D
And also, since there probably is a symbolism for that, why Dolphin in the first place, why not Shark or whatever... ?

By the way, Question for all: What do you think is inside 3DS's Chip? :ph34r:

After extensive research and calculating many variables I've brought it down to 2 logical possibilities.

1. Pikachu. Why? Because Pokemon!
2. A potato chip. Why? 3DS chip, potato chip it's close enough
Don't ask how I came up with these 2 brilliant answers. :)

Well, if you really must know.
sqrt[(3ds*the number of posts in this thread)/(length of Pikachu's tail-money in Nintendo boss' pocket)+/-(random number picked by me*random number picked by you)]
Now don't ask how I knew the number you picked when I didn't even ask you. :ninja:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
