How long does the 3DS Last when it's Idle? Mostly for things like StreetPass and SpotPass..

Im not sure if this should be posted here but I didn't really want to find the question area to ask this...

Mine was asleep for a lot of the time for 6 hours and the battery was barely dented.
an hour of face raiders and it went red.
That was with the 75% charge out of the box.

I hate the battery life but I guess over 6hrs is good for sleep... I guess I can use it at school for the Pedometer without worrying about the battery

3 days of battery life with SpotPass enabled? Fucking awesome.

3-6 hours of 3D gameplay? I can live with it. At least they give the charging cradle.

Wow thats pretty good but actual play from that point is still disapointing..

In tests, With 3D on, full brightness and wireless, it last 3 hours on full charge. The manual sugests using power saving mode to auto adjust the brightness to increase the battery life. With brightness on 1 the manual states you will get 5 hours approx.

This is dependent on what you are using the console for I guess

An hour of FaceRaiders and already in the red? Ouch.
Well that was after about an hour AR games and other stuff, and 5 walking around for play coins.

I'd say you'd get around 9 hours or more from a full charge in standby with wireless on for streetpass.

    @Psionic Roshambo, idk
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Old people games
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    doesnt work (my flashcard is from r4isdhc.com)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
