So I've had my 3DS for 6 days now. And in this time, I've messed with DS-Mode alot, including with my DSTwo *slapsHimself*. Some things that I've found out while playing my 3DS that doesn't happen on my DSiXL:

• When playing my NSMB Hack, New Retro Mario Bros, alot of the tiles are messed up. And it's not just the 8x8 graphic tiles messed up, it's like the bottom 6 of the 16 pixels of some blocks are duplicates of the top 6 pixels, and they aren't properly blended with the rest of the displayed graphics.

• Rhythm Heaven is nearly unplayable, it feels like there's about 80ms lag, which is enough to kill you.

• I played a homebrew that doesn't have Sleep Mode enabled, meaning that the processing doesn't stop, and the screens stay on. (BibleDS if anyone cares) When I use it on the 3DS, when I close it, the screen turns off, and processing seems to be cut in half (when caching the books at startup, it takes twice as long as when open)

Has anyone else experienced any of these problems? (If you want to test something with a homebrew but are too scared to put a flashcart in your 3DS, ask me and I'll do it until I get my 3DS replaced because of other problems (LEGO Star Wars randomly freezes, and since that started, other stuff does too except for DS mode (Flash cart went in after the problems started, so don't blame that!)))

see if you can use the touchscreen on scumvm cause I cant.
Rhythm Heaven works fine for me

 

To me it seems unlikely that the NDS mode is 'emulation'. The architecture is still ARM so it's not like you need to emulate much. There are probably some new video calls to address the 3DS capabilities, but in NDS mode those calls would be the same as before.

 

Is that using a Flash Cart or legit? I don't have my legit cart with my at the moment (left it at grandma's a couple months ago)

 

One thing to understand is that while the 3DS does it's best to mimic the hardware environment of the DS, it won't be perfect. And also understand that homebrew and hacks were not on Nintendo's things-to-do-list when getting DS playback working.

Now, Rhythm Heaven is another issue. Remember that the 3DS generates longer load times with DS software (bulk or streaming). If you are running it with an SCDS2, then that could contribute to the problem you're facing.

 

Everything is good and works perfectly on my iXL and Lite

I'm mainly curious about the homebrew's weird sleepmode behavior.

Also, Moonshell2 acts weird when you first close it (stutters), but is fine otherwise.

I shall test stuff on my DSone when I get home from Florida. (We are competing at the BEST Robotics World Championship! (And we're gonna win!))

 

I played (flash cart) Rhythm Heaven with no problem. Strange....

 

Hmm... Did you play it fullscreen or unscaled?

[sorryfordoublepostagain]

 

I agree. Hold start and/or select from when you start the game until you see the game launch (the 3D LED turns off) Looks real tiny though (but that's coming from an iXL user)

 

Mmkay, and I agree, Ninty should make it more... smart or something...
