Public transit is the reason I got into handheld gaming. My GBA and GBA SP always went where I went. Now my DSL is the same. I never owned the DSPhat it was too big and I knew they were gonna make it smaller so I waited. My rides are always 1 hour or more so they get plenty of play.

I play it in public... there's nothing wrong with that. I play it at school after lunch cause I have about 40 minutes...
But yeah... M3 Lite MicroSD it awesome, it is completely flush with the DS Lite, and I love my DS Lite

YESSSS NYC IN THE HOUSE!!!!!

Subway rides ARE noisy and it's no use playing DS if the train is crazy crowded or even if you don't have a seat. Umm getting mugged is always at the back of my mind, so I prefer playing on a bus. I'm 17 and have no qualms. Don't care.

My train stop is the First D train stop. so its always empty. so i take the train a Few Stops once it gets stuffy i put it away.
As for mugging. i got mugged but he had a knife and i had a Stungun. (accdentally got the lady to the left of me too. 500 dollar law suit)

what's wrong with playing on public transits? I take the train to Los Angeles every week to see my gf practically (saves much more gas and time, with rush hours and ridiculous traffic) and I always have 2 hours to kill. Why not play some games and listen to some music on moonshell.

I don't play games, but I watch dpg movies in Moonshell. The bus ride to college lasts exactly one anime episode, so I can watch one season per week

I was once on the train with 2 friends, we were playing minigames, and there was this guy breathing in our hair the whole time because he wanted too see it.. It annoys me, but it's also funny.. Hehe

It will be the LAST THING I will ever do, playing in public. While I have a weak spot for portable gaming, somehow I want go playing on a train. I like a good solid piece of privacy while gaming! When I was young I remember playing my Gameboy on the beach though...those good days are gone..

Yes yes and yes...
I have more than 3 hours of public transport everyday to get to my job... (I know it's crazy, and it's not even a job I like...actually I hate it... but never mind...) and what would I do if I don't play my DS?!? Sleep? Hmm Ok. Looking at pretty girls is nice too, but I try not to give them too much hope

So I'm playing my DS.
But I choose the games, it's either the ones that really represent a big challenge when you're standing up, stuck in a crowd, in a train which has Parkinson, like Trauma Center; or the games which make me look like a total psycho stuck in a geek world : like Project Rub, I love the look of people when they see me blow on my DS like a mad man... Of course, you can have both at the same time : "Ouendan" (and there, everybody lets you a security perimeter because at first your look really focused as if you were disarming a bomb and then without any reason, you really look like a maniac scratching a poor little plastic device with something which can be used by the terrorists to hijack a plane...)

I have my own car thank god,but I would never use my ds on PT as I will get an onslaught(spelling) of questions and people telling me to let their kids play.
But once the coast is clear :Castlevania here I come!

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
