Ds Pico IR Discussion

[Onepunchbruh]

I thought no one was talking about this newer model of ds pico, so that I should make a thread & hear your thoughts on this

The IR function integrated into flashcarts doesn't seem very useful?
Can't TWiLightMenu++ also use the IR function of official game cartridges?
For example:
- on a DSi, run TWiLightMenu++ from the SD card and insert a DS cartridge;
- on an NDS/NDSL, run TWiLightMenu++ from a GBA cartridge and insert a DS cartridge?(Is that so? I don’t have an NDS/NDSL)

Yes it can use for example a Pokemon Black cartridge and use its IR sensor for White 2 or SoulSilver!
But the games with IR sensors are getting ridiculous expensive (regarding Pokemon games), so it is likely cheaper to get a flashcart with IR instead.

I'm hoping for the model that fits perfectly into the card slot as I like to carry my New2DS in a case and that would be the only DS card I would ever need from then on, plus 8MB is already helping a lot. But I have a feeling that many others want the full 32MB...

One YouTube comment section later: I happily stand corrected!

It appears that the Cortex M33 core inside of that SoC its actually more powerful than the ARM9 core on the DSi .

Maybe the RP2350's computing power could be used to solve the compatibility issues with the GBA hypervisor(/emulator) on the DSi?
