Probably should've done this when i first arrived but better late than never, yeah?

You can just call me Tofu, or whatever fits more for you, I'm a big 3DS fanatic and have been interested in the modding scene since 2017, when i was in late middle school but just never got
around to considering doing actual modding stuff until recently which i still don't know where to start, but other than that I'm also an autistic gal, I also do let's play's on YouTube, play electric guitair and I'm into a lot of video games franchises (too many to name in one post lol but just ask and I'll confirm or deny if I'm into it) I own a few modded consoles, those being:

- PS1 Classic (Running Project Eris)
- JP DSi (Running HiyaCFW)
- N3DS XL (Running Starlight3DS CFW)
- Wii U (Running Aroma CFW)
- Phat DS (Hardware modded not software with, a USB-C port)

I hope i can make some friends here and have a good time if there are any questions ask away and I'll respond as soon as I am able to do so.
(I apologize again for not doing this when I first joined so if I need to delete this then pls lmk)

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Wut.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    The hardware is not much different, in my opinion. It can emulate just about anything without needing a CPU upgrade, aside from a re-design.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Retro handhelds aren't really hiding the fact they're just phones with a D-pad. It's all the same SOC, just with different applications.
     +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly. That's what I'm at least trying to point out.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the high-end SOCs are still expensive so they tend to use older stuff, leftover stock and so on.
     +2
  • Veho @ Veho:
    So KTR is asking, will you guys spring for the Snapdragon,
    or should we get some older cheaper chipset.
     +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably thought to themselves that the latter would be the better option. Not only to make them easily affordable to produce and buy, but to retain the same performance to competitors.

    After all, SoC is the same ones used in Android phones that were made for gaming.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gen2 is obsolete and probably can get bulk for cheap
     +1
  • Veho @ Veho:
    In the same way that a Raspberry Pi costs 30 dollars but a project involving a RPi costs at least $100, CPUs are cheap, everything else is a bitch.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    3d printing and repurposed screens got cheap so we get neat little devices out of last year's tech it's still a neat way to recycle

    It went from involving nerds with degrees to buying little Jim's after school project

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think I spent like close to 300 all in on my Pi5 setup buuutttt depending on how you look at it that is super cheap, like per game or all the "Mini" consoles you would have to buy to get something close to it.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I just divided 5000 by 300 works out to 16.666666 cents per game lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but some of those games aren't worth that much. I hope the others make up for it. :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you own no other devices and can find something that does up to switch for 300 the price makes up for it just for that then again a complete genesis can go for around 150 not including games
  • Veho @ Veho:
    The Switch is the next big milestone.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah when Adreno 780m is more common on devices imo
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or 680 iirc
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's interesting, you can get up to PSX with a $50 device, but if you want PS2/GC and so on, it's $150 minimum but $200 to be sure, and those devices can already play Switch.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Still better than 350 on a actual switch I'll take a few frame drops
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I'm not disagreeing. It's just weird that if you can get PSX for $50, and Switch for $200, why can't you get PS2 for $100?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Emulation is weird.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean just take the fact SNES still isn't perfectly emulated.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ram chips are probably like $20 per 8gb?
