Homebrew [Debate][Poll] Flashcards vs. 3DeSmume

[Xandrid]

Yeah, at shit FPSes. GBA can barely be emulated well on O3DS.

No need to really imulated GBA, when we have VC injections, but I could be wrong

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Oh great, on hardware barely documented and you still need to emulate at least 2 CPUs on 1 CPU
Totally gonna be playable... by the time the NX is out!

Sure, that would be cool

You don't know what the developers can or can't pull off. Relax and wait a couple weeks.

 

[Inorizushi]

Was it something about having to emulate 2CPUs?

Uh, since when did the GBA or the DS have 2 CPUs?

The DS has an ARM7 and ARM9 CPU.

Rood, also that would be grammatically incorrect.

Ah I see where you're getting at now.

Well, the problem right now is that the DS emulator is still running off of pure interpretation. They're currently getting it working with dynarec but it's proving to be challenging right now to say the least.

 

[Luckkill4u]

Once we have dynarec we will be back to smooth sailing. I'm hoping for the ability to run larger games although it might be impossible for the moment since they run off RAM.

 

[Inorizushi]

Can we get back to the topic.

 

[Luckkill4u]

Now where were we again? What am I going to put in my GAPING cartridge slot when 3desmume is complete? Gate-Way?

Lol if only they had twitch emotes I would put FailFish

Now I like the idea of having a DS emulator for the 3DS but I still agree that nothing can beat a flashcard at this point.

Months down the road, maybe we'll see a change

Also, quit bashing on @dankzegriefer just ignore if you need to, no need to spark things past this. People are entitled to their own opinion even though this is the internet and saying anything will end up making people flame.

I pray it does, I'm so excited, I've been follow the development very closely and also your right

 

[Pecrow]

Same for me. I have a GW bluecard but emulation sounds so much better. Ok, not native, not 100% compatibility and 100% speed maybe, but 100% features.

how do you get the bluecard to work??

 

[dpad_5678]

OMG! stop your fuckin bitching that you guys aren't getting 99999fps on your O3DS's and buy a fucking flashcard.
Is it really worth it? Do you understand the alternative?? The $10-$20 alternative?

Ugh!

 

[Codename PUMA]

For DS games, I'll probably continue using flashcard until it breaks so I can just plug it into any system and play, regardless of console mod or anything. There have been times with my DSTWO that my 3DS ran low on battery and there was no outlet nearby a comfortable place, so I just grabbed the DS Lite and continued. Same save data and all that.

I'm not one that cares a whole lot for features and stuff, though it's nice to see people do that. Save states are cool but there aren't a lot of DS games I would feel like I really need them for. Fast-forwarding would be the biggest bonus for me, mainly because I can be a pretty big RPG grinder.

Compatibility would be the biggest decider. Only DS iso so far that I haven't gotten to work properly on DSTWO was Kirby Mass Attack. Crashed entering the first level.

 

[chaoskagami]

I feel like a terrible person because I chose the 'I am a cat.' option.

To be serious though, it's nowhere near flashcart levels of usability but I think this can be improved. For being completely interpreted, it runs REALLY well. My real answer is 'For now flashcarts, but they'll be obsoleted eventually'.

 

[hacksn5s4]

do you think parents would buy a flash card

You think running ds games natively using it's own hardware will become obsolete because of emulating those same games on the same hardware that runs them natively? Sorry if that sounds confusing.

 

[MushGuy]

What about finding a way to convert DS roms to DSiWare .cia?

 

[chaoskagami]

Emulators are technically superior to actual hardware in most cases. Save states, rewinding, possible WPA2 support, debugging, etc.

The technically superior option out of Emulator and Flashcart is actually the third that remains unmentioned - hacked TWL FIRM. That of course is way higher on the difficulty scale.

 

[hacksn5s4]

eh with flash cards you can use wifi with the emulator you cannot
