Hardware Disassembling Nintendo 3DS

[KingVamp]

My theory is that the new "3DS Lite" will just be the same 3DS, but w/ much more battery life. After all, they already said that the 3DS won't be shrunk any more.

Yeah, but they've never done anything like you're theorizing (not that I'll discount it).

Do not see what this got to do with the thread, but

Most likely it be 3DS Xl with better battery life. :/

I know that, but it could be.

It could, but then it be pointless.

Iwata-sama is secretly working on "Blind Guide", audio descriptions for in-game action.

Not really, but you can't rule anything out.

There is some new pictures at TGBUS. They got one and dismantled it also : http://3ds.tgbus.com/hardware/201102/20110219163347.shtml

And where are closeups of 3DS' CPU, GPU and memory ?
Who the fuck cares about the internals of the slidepad or the battery ?

I doubt they will unsolder the slot 1 only to make one picture of those components.

Me too. I have not heard any news about flashcarts working... yet.

I don't want Lite OR XL, I want 3DSi POCKET XL COLOR ADVANCE LITE lol

Probably not by much though.

Considering that bigger screen = more power.

Plus more power because of the 3D screen. The top screen is the reason why the 3DS battery is so poor.

And that also means more pricey...

Nah, big N would never work with other companies to make stuff more awesome...Especcially with AT&T

Why would the top screen be taking such a lot of power? I thought it was a conventional TFT screen with a Parallax Barrier LCD switching overlay on top of it, how exactly does that take much more power than a standard screen?

I would have thought that the new additional 3D chips are taking the power? Also there are now "4" CPU's on one die ... ARM7TDMI, ARM946E-S, ARM11 x 2 ... and increase in clock speed of the ARM.

be careful guys Nintendo can find this
and considering the 3DS isnt out yet...

We need 3DS XL, not Lite. It is already based on DSLite's design.

I absolutely agree. After using DSi XL I find DS Lite to be so tiny.

The top screen uses double the amount of light in 3D compared to 2D, it's like one screen for each eye. This was mentioned in a Iwata asks interview.
Rendering two images in 3D is not what consumes more power, remember that the left and right images are just different views of the same models.

Same here now everytime I use a DSi or Lite and find it too tiny

+1 for a 3DS XL.
