I mean, I want to use this portable, together with my BT headphones.

If I have something plugged in the USB-C in portable mode, well, I -have- to unplug it to put the console in the dock, otherwise it is impossible for the USB-C connector in the dock to connect to the console.

Also, I haven't seen USB-C bluetooth emitting sound cards available, and if I use one of the dongles that connect to the headphone jack, I have to charge it all the time (and also they protrude enough to make my Switch not fit in my case anymore).

PS: But still, perhaps I will go for some kind of dongle if they don't come up with a solution in the future.
I'll give them till April.

After 30 minutes of vigorous researching,

I have come to the conclusion that....yes, USB-C BT Transmitters are non-existant and will be for a long time. There is a solution for docked mode, but on-the-go play will be a PITA with these dongles which will drop down a good 5 inches/12.7 cm.

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

pirated manga? I personally like cbr for manga but generally prefer usa comics at this point. PDF is all about books for me honestly....
PDF books become a PITA to read in small screens (and pardon my bad sight, but the Switch fashions a small screen). ePub for life... but anyway, my phone handles that well already.

Like a lot of people, I'd like it to be a media center. Like It could read any video or audio file.
There's no reason It doesn't do It already.

I remember how impress I was when I tried PS3 media center back in time. Switch could do the same... only portable.

It won't happen though. That feature only appears on home consoles. Someone should have made a homebrew app for the Wii U to open media like that.

One thing I’ve realised I actually want the console to have. When I had the wii u I loved the “stickers” you could unlock and use on miiverse...I’d love them to have something like that and when they add in the whole friends chat online etc (another feature I’d like) you can then send them to your friends.

Would trophies / achievements be a welcome addition? I used to like them on the PlayStation how I became obsessed with getting certain ones and lost the love for some games.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • 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

    For your R4
  • 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:

    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
