Unofficial feature: The ability to emulate ps3

 

[Sinkhead]

Any real pictures, or just that mockup?

It's plain obviously faked...I seriously do not get why people start to make BS stuff i.e. Zelda Phantom Hourglass released

The reason I think this could be real is because I had the idea for something like this a while ago.
And if it is false, I think the members will be very disappointed and may start asking why there shouldn't be a Temper Card, it's perfectly do-able.

As its opensource there is one problem clones!
Though i dont got an DSslot1 flashcart yet just slot2 so maybe buy this one original for sure hope i can buy it here in the netherlands or on dealextreme.com or any other free shipping webshop

 

[Mike83]

APRIL FOOLS? mebbe

 

[archagon]

This is probably the most feasible April Fool's announcement I've seen so far.
Which makes me wonder daydream...

 

[sipoon]

Woohooo!!! Ima gonna get this and gnirfleo....

 

[Pedro UK]

Does it come preloaded with every console game ever made? Does it? Huh, huh?

PS: I don't want one if it doesn't come with a GBA cart shell 'cos I wouldn't be a able to play on my GBA Micro.

 

[Opium]

this has too be a joke, as the whole open source thing sort of means your patching code can be stolen easier and the other flashcart developers can steal and modify your code.

Still a cool concept and i'd personally love to help out if this is for real


True, it can be stolen. But they'd need our card hardware as we use some things no other cards have. We're not too worried about clones for now, it's worth the advantages of open source, it's a community card, hence 'Temper', GBAtempers.

It's real, I'm an alpha tester, I should know


why must you lie?

If this is real did you by any chance get the idea from my topic located here?

- Sam


Nope, we didn't just come up with this last week, as I said we have hardware already.

No pictures for now, the mockup resembles the sort of design we're aiming for though. You should get the first proper pictures towards the end of april.

if its not april fools, then i'll be damned, because it just started 6 hours ago in 2 minutes...

Ugh... I shouldn't be fixing computers at 6AM! IM A MINOR!

Even though I'm quite satisfied with my R4, the only reason I would want to get a Temper Card is if
A) 4GB, since R4 does not support up to that large
B)If there is some sort of other hardware acceleration or internal add-on that's probably useless (ie: Equivalent of SA-1 (co-processor doing a crapload of work), DS accelerometer, or nice and shiny blinking LEDs that work with moonshell or LMP (without making it a DS-X clone) or anything else i might think of... a USB port to plug in those near useless USB devices such as foot warmers... If i get them, i can actually walk now that the power can fit in my pocket.

)

Please note: the first part of B is totally serious, the other stuff is because either others have done it, or because it would be a market first.

where 2 buy, where 2 buy! ill take 3 no give me 5 pls go go

 

[imgod22222]

Oh yeah, and i'd like to mention, this is the first open-source DS flashcart i've seen reported here so yeah... kudos on another first.

Can we get pix of the GUI to confirm it? At least one... you say you have the hardware, and i know it doesn't take more than 3 minutes for you to transfer a picture from your digital camera to GBAtemp.

 

[PurpleSkunk]

Fake !

But excellent joke.

 

[frostfire]

This is why I hate april 1st.

 

[rest0re]

this is no april fool! i got it and plasmatron got it too and we're playing SIR V_G releases with it!!!!

 

[archagon]

This is why I hate april 1st.

OH NOES! It's a (presumably) fake announcement.
WHY MUST THEY LIE? I DEMAND THE TRUTH 24/7!
