I have to push the side of the cartridge with my finger in the extra hole made for 3DS-specific games after inserting the DSTwo or it is a crooked fit, like, the left side is tilted downwards and it feels like it's too tight.

I get a white screen upon entering TempGBA too, but not if I insert it into my DS-Lite which has a broken touch screen, so I don't wanna use that :-P

My DSTwo is a bit of a snug fit, but it does fit perfectly in my system.
Check the cart to make sure none of the teeth are broken and also check inside your system to make sure all the contacts are clean and straight.

It is very tight and slightly crooked (due to the overall flimsy build), but it shouldn't affect operation.

    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip

    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.

    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
