Today is my 10th anniversary at gbatemp!
My first contact with console-hacking was 20 years ago, when I bought a Super Wildcard SWC DX for the SNES. That Super Wildcard SWC DX was really nice for that time, I had over 100 SNES games on those 3.5 inch Floppy Disks. But it wasn’t until 2004 I got really hooked in the hacking scene. It was during the GBAs and PSPs prime time. Those handhelds were like the coolest things ever by then…
In 2005, there were three main console hacking sites for me: Pocket heaven, Dcemu and Pspupdates. Unfortunately, all three of them are more or less dead nowadays. That’s why I am so happy gbatemp is still alive, kicking better than ever!
The last ½ year, since Ninjhax 2.5, the 3DS scene has gone really far. In my opinion, today’s 3DS scene almost has the same activity as the DS and PSP had during their heydays. Today we can play Yoshi’s Island, Super Mario RPG and other special chip games for the SNES in fullspeed. The Quake 1/Duke Nukem3D PC ports are extremely impressive. And we just saw Win95/Win98 booting on the N3DS. Yeah!
So, what is the N3DS hardware capable of? PS1 in fullspeed? N64 PoC? Half Life 1? Any other suggestions? Whatever happens, I’m eagerly looking forward to how much the cool developers can push the limits on the N3DS!
Thank You to all hackers, gbatemp staff and n00bs for making gbatemp the greatest console hacking site on the net!
