Gameplay will run at full speed, maybe better due to the TWL clockspeeds. However there's a lot of overhead associated with the patched card read functions so any time the game loads data from the card (read: SD) it'll take longer. You might also get slowdown if the game streams data continuously rather than using a loading screen, such as in GTA.
Choo chooo madafakas, come to the hype train.
Probably having a good SD will help, since it can either better than original DS carts
The problem is that it's loading into the RAM from an SD card and not a cart, which resulted in the TP demo trailer they got working being laggy. But apparently it'll only affect load times in the final release, thankfully.
Hopefully i can wake up Christmas day and be able to play my old Rune Factory, Pokemon, and Harvest Moon
games without using my phone. That'll be a really good way to make my day better.

I don't mind longer loading screens at all (my attention span is garbage enough that if a loading screen is more than a couple seconds I'll probably be looking at reddit on my phone anyway). There's at least one game I'm worried about because I don't know if it streams media or not, but either way this is a huge development that I'm super excited to play around with.
Most things use the first method but things that use the second one are going to struggle.
My understanding is that things like the TP demo trailer are going to continue to be laggy in the public release. The issue is that there are two general ways to play media on the cart:
- Show a loading screen, while that screen is up load the media into RAM. Then, start playing the media from RAM.
- Start playing the media directly from the cart.
Most things use the first method but things that use the second one are going to struggle.
The problem is that the arm7 has to handle data retrieval when usually the arm9 would be doing that job. Fast SD card or not, there's going to be a lot more latency involved.

I thought GBATemp automatically merged double posts? Does it not work if using Tapatalk? O.o
EDIT: So it doesn't . Damn, that sucks. I've been freely posting and quoting multiple posts and all with Tapatalk separately all this time, didn't remember/realise that it didn't do it. Huh.

Damn. It really is something that should work :/ it kind of is annoying since I got used to automerging x.xThat's why tapatalk is awesome

Fixed
On another note, I. Am. H y p e d. As. Shit.
I do have a flashcard though so not very concerned. Will there be advantages of SD loading over using flashcards? Like, I guess flashcards teams have mostly died, this being a semi-pubic effort would mean SD loading with forwarders could eventually surpass flashcards in compatibility and features?
Aksjsosjdi fine work, guys :3
Well, the first "commercial games" are working now: WarioWare: Touched and Electroplankton
awwww shieeeeet

If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.+1 -

I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming+1 -

also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics -

BigOnYa:
Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.+1

and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses) -

BigOnYa:
There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"

Xdqwerty:
i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect

@
BigOnYa:
Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
- fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection) -

That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.+1
