Lali ho!

My girlfriend is trying to take an interest in my gaming life and as such has borrowed my old PSP and bought herself an old DS Phat off ebay. The DS is working fine but it needs a hinge repair, and a new case. Since we have to replace the case anyway, she figures now's the perfect time to get a custom one made. Is there anywhere that still does custom works for the old DS Phat models? She's looking to have a case made that's totally unique to her, but if that's simply impossible can you at least point us in the direction of somewhere that does some good looking ones?

If only if it was a ds lite she bought, there are a lot more good looking ones for it.

Well the only decent condition DS Lite we could find around here would've set her back £65. The DS Phat came with all sorts of extra junk and only needs a new case to be back at peak condition and cost £22 including P+P. Hence the decision to go with the older model. She has my old Cyclo for it, at least until I get enough money to order a pair of Supercard DS Two's (one for my 3DS, one for her DS) and have an internet connection that works properly (right now if I want to watch a five minute video I have to let it stream for nearly an hour) to support them with new games. She just needs a case. There must be somewhere out there that could do a special request case, right?

    The PS2 was quite a good console for its time. Imagine how many people in Spain are still using one LOL.

    @K3Nv2, Exactly. Take note of the Switch, for example. Its underpowered compared to how older tech was capable of doing just about anything.

    @K3Nv2, Not gonna lie, about half of its game library was shovelware like its counterpart, the Wii.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, and the other half were just 1st party games

    @Xdqwerty, The Wii U was essentially an early Switch, before the Switch was a thing.

    They already had the technology but the price to performance wasn't there

    Older systems I love some of the games but without filters and enhanced graphics they are difficult to enjoy

    Especially the PS1....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    That thing needs all the bandaids lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think my favorite PS1 enhancement is sub pixel precision, helps get rid of some of those wobbly polygons lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, By default, the polygons are filtered with differing to simulate depth, which doesn't make them clearer.

    Which GPU was hot in the ps1 era psi besides all of them

    There are ways to disable this by creating cheat codes, but this requires knowledge of the PS1 hardware.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I miss the old game shark books you could just go to Walmart and buy now it's instant ban or some punishefor using cheats

    @Psionic Roshambo, the filters i hate the most are the bilinear ones
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @K3Nv2, when the PS1 was out I had the PS1 the N64 and on PC I had the Voodoo 2 and glide looked soooo nice at the time 🥰
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Biliniar filters are OK but brz is better I like SuperEagle but out of all of them xbrz is probably the most computationaly expensive
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Emulation is the way to go for so many reasons NES get rid of flicker by turning off the sprite per line limit. Cheats? Ken Batocera is your friend almost every console has cheats in it
