This is your reminder to buy a 3DS, 2DS, or any flavor of the device, jailbreak that shit, and enjoy playing any and every single game Nintendo has in their NES-3DS Library
If you actually pay Nintendo, a company that is just barely short of hostile to it's userbase, then you deserve a bullet

If you have a hacked 3DS and a hacked Wii U, you can play every game for six different Nintendo systems natively.

whatever I feel like said:
Valve wasn't legally required to kick Dolphin off, they just wanted to and, since its their storefront, did. Valve might be "your friend" but they hate pirates as much as the next publisher.

It was less anti-piracy and more “we don’t want to get on Nintendo’s bad side”.

Are they worth going through? I saw the first like 20 and they seemed interesting enough but his rate of release went beyond my rhythm of watching and I never got back to watching them.

I’m a bit behind but the quality has been consistent from the beginning. He also talks about scrapped/unreleased content from his own games, like showing actual gameplay footage from Dragon King.

You're going to have to be more specific because the DSi had a fuckton of shovelware, including hidden object games.

You know, the one with the rabbit. It was on the DSi. You had to line the camera up and it had a very nice immersive result, sort of like using a headtracking setup.

Headtracking always felt more immersive than VR, at least to me. Great on flight sims. Looking around the window posts in the cabin to line up a shot... man that's good with headtracking.

Looksley's Lineup! I remembered it!! Try that one out.

I've been noticing that people who use a Switch emulator can't help but constantly bringing attention to it and its existence on more mainstream websites, this also includes that one Kotaku journalist who bragged about playing Metroid Dread at better performance on an emulator within the release window period. People simply refuse to stick to that unwritten golden rule of staying low profile so the corporations would look the other way

yeah, it's weird as fuck emulators have been common knowledge for 20 years and there's been little corners here and there where people playing recent or current games on them talk about it. but the last couple years normies won't shut the fuck up about using switch emulators. I use one too to play shit I don't want to buy day 1, but I wouldn't write an article or make YouTube videos about it broadcasting the fact I am playing the new Pokemon, Zelda, Mario, Sonic etc a week and a half before launch like a total fucking retard.

A lesson I learned the hard way when I spent 3 hours trying to troubleshoot why my system wasn't booting at all. TBH a 32 is fine, any games pre-ds are miniscule, though a 64 is probably better for DS/3DS games just due to them being at least a gig each

Ah, troubleshooting jailbreaking :feels:
I’m gonna have to install a mod chip on my Erista early serial number switch for this reason. I got it third party refurbished but it must have been patched by Nintendo because no matter what I do I can’t get it into RCM mode. Oh well, still better than getting games I won’t be able to play or have online support for in a few years

Deciding to put it on steam after all these years suggests they were to me.

As for retroroach it might be possible Nintendo did not know or still considered the Cube new enough to care about it.

And since you can’t get Cube games on PC you either have to rip the files from your own discs or pirate the roms. And Dolphin can’t distinguish which you did so everyone pirates. And that was a widely known fact.

There's an explicit carve out for dolphin in the law, to enable interoperability between the wii software and the PC software. Dolphin doesn't have a legal responsibility to stop piracy, they just can't make software that's only useful for software. As long as Dolphin can be used to play games that you purchased and ripped yourself, the law says the software is legal even if it enables piracy. The people uploading their rips to rom sharing sites are liable, not dolphin. At least, that's what Dolphin's lawyer told them.

It makes sense to me. Otherwise you may as well go after web browsers for allowing you to download pirated games, or google for linking you to the pirate sites.
 
I think I saw some of you discussing SD cards for Nintendo's systems.

At least in my experience, the capacity issues were largely not as big a deal as they seemed. I run multiple 3DS/2DS with 256GB microSD cards and my Switch has had a 1TB card in it for like, four years. All works fine.

The DS systems will slow down with larger cards but only on the main menu. I think they fixed some of this with patches as they slowly upped the "acceptable" expabdable capacity of their systems.

There's a reason why the Switch can take a bigger dicking than the 3DS

SD cards are basically what hard drives were back in the day when you had the FAT format for Win95/98, before NTFS became a thing starting with Win2000. In that case. The TL;DR of it is that FAT had a limit of how big of a file you could stick in it, plus the way it journaled things was at risk for corruptions. When NTFS came out, it not only did things differently, but it also went "LOL fuck file sizes"

SD cards, believe it or not, have multiple different categories and have evolved greatly over the years
  • SD cards are in the following capacities 4,8,16,32,64,128,256 512MB and 1GB, 2GB only.
  • SDHC cards are available in the following capacities: 4, 8, 16, 32GB
  • SDXC cards are available in the following capacities; 64, 128, 256, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB
  • SDUC cards are available in the following capacities 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128TB
  • SDUC memory cards must only be used with SDUC devices.
  • SDXC memory cards can be used with SDXC devices and SDUC Devices.
  • SDHC memory cards can be used with SDHC devices, SDXC devices and SDUC Devices

If said device was made for a specific SD card, then thats where the compatability issue comes in. Regarding the 3DS, it was stuck in SDHC hell, and couldn't be upgraded, and Nintendo even flat out said this on their support page that SDXC and above will not work on it. Since the switch is newer, it is updated for all SD formats, therefore you can give the thing all you got.

3DS doesn’t have official SDHC support, but you can use SDXC if you format it on your PC for FAT32 with 32KB cluster size. At least, that’s what I’ve heard. I think my 3DS only ever went up to 32GB.

This is also the reason why some early Wii homebrew and mods only work on a 2GB card or lower; SDHC support was added in an update.

Slight correction, newer cards don't use NTFS. NTFS is more or less Windows only, so it doesn't make sense to use on a storage medium primarily designed for cameras (that don't run Windows) and needs to work on Windows and Macs and bespoke devices without needing to be reformatted.

There are different types of FAT:

FAT16B, also known as FAT, FAT16, BigFAT, or BIGDOS, has a 2 GB limit, and is standard on regular SD cards.

FAT32 can go up to 16TB, but only supports files smaller than 4GB, and is standard for SDHC.

exFAT (FAT64) can go up to 16EB, it's explicitly designed for flash media, and is the standard for removable media in general today. It's the standard for SDXC. Microsoft kept it proprietary until 2019, though, making it mostly useless before then, hence things like the switch getting support for it in an update and older devices never getting support despite the fact that it's been around since 2006. For that reason, a lot of removable media is still formatted FAT32, just to support older devices, at the expense of not being able to have individual files larger than 4GB. I believe installing switch games on SD cards still splits the files at the 4GB mark.

NTFS is pretty much only used for Windows hard drives. You might see a Linux box use one for interoperability, but you're probably better off with exFAT so you don't get caught by case sensitivity problems.

I have a 256 gig SDXC card in mine, man. It works fine as long as it's formatted to FAT32 before you put it in. 3DS just can't format it on its own.

Yes. They would have to do all that

Or they could just not openly have a public donations page for their stuff which is clearly the easier option.

Sincr they did neither they should honestly get sued and closed down solely for being real dumb.

Are you retarded? Why should they bend over backwards to appease a company that clearly doesn't give a shit? You're saying this on Kiwi Farms of all places?
