Three weeks ago i bough a N3DS fw 9.0 at Carrefour. It cost me 168 euros (i live in Spain). A week later i found it at Media Markt.It was 161 eur!!!!However, i didnt change it because of the firmware of my current console. Then when i was trying to play Smash Bros it asked me to update to 9.5. I activated firmlaunch, it wasn´t working for some dammn reason, so i finally updated (i also had the sky3ds, so the problem wasn´t that big. When Reinand CFW (with its wonderful emunand) was released, i had no reason to keep an 9.8 fw N3DS so i decided to refund and look for a new one with 9.0-9.2. FUUUUUUUU***** MY TICKET DISAPPEARED!!!I am still regreting that error.

So guys never lose your tickets and make copies of it if possible

Just to note, I hope you only loaded up a 2GB microSD card. The original R4 doesn't support SDHC which is its one drawback and literally the only reason it has flat out been given away and sold for as little as $1 by Chinese shops before. And for some reason, DS emulation just doesn't seem to work brilliantly on computers from my experience, and I've never understood why considering DraStic on my phone runs DS games at full speed without issue.

Funny you should say that, I loaded up an old 2GB MSD earlier but was debating if I could be bothered fishing out my 8GB version. Guess now I don't have to :D I have my laptop for storage anyway so I can always switch out roms and save files as needed. I've already got about 15 games on the card, including massive games like Pokemon and Final Fantasy Tactics A2, I should be good to go for a year or so.

You should use NDS Tokyo Trim to trim your roms before putting them on the card, saves up a lot of space most of the time :)

I picked up a handful of other games between PSN's sales and a visit to GameStop.
  • Borderlands (Ultimate Edition) (PS3)- Digitally from the flash sale, and includes all four major DLCs. Now between this and PS+ I have both the first two games, and should probably try them out.
  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (PS3)- Digitally from the Knockout sale on PSN, another foray into fighting games, as I mentioned in my last post.
  • Teslagrad (PS3)- Digitally from the flash sale, I've been meaning to try this since it came out on Wii U. Should be fun to try out. It certainly looks interesting.
  • Bulletstorm (360)- I almost bought this for $5 off the PSN flash sale, but my "Unreal Engine on PS3" senses were tingling, so I did some research and found that the PS3 version is a bit worse than the 360 version. Further research showed that the only multiplayer mode was a co-op horde mode that I didn't care about, and that I could get it $0.50 cheaper at GameStop for 360. Since I was heading out close to a GameStop anyway, I figured to go pick a copy up. Lucky me, the copy I got looked like it was barely used.

Huh? I was teasing you, dude. Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.
It just hit me, I meant to clarify that by ruining my day is the NEWS that you got fired... LOL

(hoping this post merges)
I got $350 for Eid the other day, was so excited to buy a bunch of games for my 3DS and PS3. But, just like every year; that did not happen.

It's only for chatting, not controlling.
That's a shame. You'd think with the common compatibility with keyboards on consoles nowadays, they'd make keyboard and mouse an optional control method in most games.

Then again, only one of the consoles (Xbone) is JUST NOW adding universal key rebinding, so I guess I shouldn't expect so much.

FFXIV (for which I bought it) is indeed compatible with keyboard/mouse input. However where my TV is mounted on the wall and the chair I sit in wouldn't be suitable.

I bought Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 on the psn flash sale yesterday. I'm usually more of a physical copies type of person but $6 was a great price and given the nature of the game I wasn't sure if I wanted to invest much money into it. I quite like it so far, the mechanics are pretty interesting and I enjoy the references and humor. It seems like there will be alot to do.

Finally got L.A Noire and the Rockstar Pass with it on PSN store. A game I was dying to play. A game I was fucking asking to gameshare on the PS3 forum. All for $10.48! NO TAX!

Got this as a deal on prime day :D
Lucky asshole. I want a PS4 so bad but my sister destroyed it in response of my brother destroying her laptop because she took away his network adapter. :sad:

My brother-in-law got this exact PS4 with a deal of trading his original PS4 in and paying a few extra bucks. Lucky guy.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • 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
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
