Only in the long past days of computers where having a 1GB drive was big (and we had a 10GB drive in addition to that).

Broadband now.

As far as I know xvolution uses dial-up.

What's dialup? I saw it in my old history book, but it never told me what it was.
Are you serious?

I had dial-up years ago, I was to young to remember how shit it was.
Pi, srsly, you need to take the internet less serious.

Anyway..
I remember having Dial-Up. I remember the sound it made when connecting, and then being able to use the internet for 30 minutes because my mom thought it was too expensive.

My aunt used to just use PeoplePC. Good times setting up a demo of a 3DRealms game to download while we ate lunch.

Yes, it would be quite cool if you could set it to play your own custom sounds...
Imagine that!
Also, my relatives still use dial-up. I have to say there location isn't in the best of places internet wise.

Seriously.
It was so cash.
I don't even remember what I did on the internet back then tho.

OH YEA I REMEMBER!!!

I used to download lots of DBZ images, and then print them.

I even remember going to the library, cause that was cheaper internet, and printing Dragonball Z images there.

Damn I wish I could go back to the past.

DSL is what Dial-up evolved to. A separate line just for internet, so people could go uninterrupted.

No I don't still use dial up.

LOL, I did the exact same thing as a kid, I would go to the library, print awesome DBZ/GT pics and then learn how to draw the characters, good times.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
