I found some sweet deal for the Special Edition Pokemon DSi and I plan to get it.......in three - four weeks. T_T

With my Black DSi currently on it's way to Nintendo for a screen replacement, as well as my Red Lite (which I hate) on it's way to my sister's house when I get my black ds back, I'll need something that can replace my lite, and I've chosen the special edition DSi.

I have no interest in the 3DS. I think it is a complete rip off and the launch titles don't interest me in the slightest, so I am going to buy this DSi to replace my Lite. What I am wondering though is how long do Nintendo keep these kind of special edition consoles in production for? As I don't know if/what I'll have to pay for my DSi screen replacement.

Like I said before, I have no interest in the 3DS right now so it would be great if people don't tell me to wait and save up.

This makes no sense at all.

I think he meant to say he has no interest in the 3DS. xD

I lol'd so hard that you're interested in a DSi but think the 3DS is a ripoff.
Get a DSlite. The DSi is useless. You pay more for absolutely no benefit.
and i'm saying that with my DSi sitting beside me.

Eh, if I go with the deal I found, I will be paying roughly the same price as new DS Lite (its minus the games and I already have Black so..).

I also think the DSi is better. All the DS Lite has is GBA compatibility and I hate GBA games on the DS Lite. They feel better played on an actual GBA, and I have four of those.

I'll just have to hope for the best.

I am pretty sure that deal will be sticking around for a couple weeks though.

(I'm only getting the DSi, as I already have the games).

The Mystery Dungeon + Black version is gone so i assume you're talking about this.

I doubt it'll last...

DSi XL is a brick, I prefer the standard.

There also isn't a special edition Pokemon DSi XL. :/

Nope, not that but that is pretty good.....

I'm getting the DSi on its own, though if they're gone by the time I have the cash I'll probably get that and sell the game.....gah >_>.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
