if you are using a n3DS and were to compare the lowest settings to that of an o3ds the n3ds is slightly more dim. Same goes for the highest level as well.
That actually also has to do with the screen types, not whether it is just N/O3DS...

Just comparing due to personal experience, i have both o/n3ds and i use n3ds when its late. My brother does the same thing and it seems to be consistant.

Hi there! I'd like to request a screen dimmer CIA (similar or identical to the old "screen brightness" option on BootNTR) for the new 3ds systems? It made it so I could game for quite a while longer (light-sensitive). I totally understand if it isn't doable, but I figured I'd toss the request out there. Would absolutely be willing donate to a homebrew dev for a permanent light-dimming CIA on Luma. Thanks for your time & let me know if you need any more info.

I want an N64 emulator, even if the 3DS doesn't have enough RAM.
The RAM is the LEAST of the 3DS's worries when it comes to N64:P N64 is an extremely difficult system to emulate because it had a unique processor architecture, so the game code is fundamentally different, so you either need a similar architecture system or one with a LOT of head room for system resources (really strong CPU to avoid the millions of issues that occur from the code not being translated properly/accurately enough). Only N64 emulator on a weak system has been the one on the PSP, but only the PSP happened to have the exact same processor architecture, reason it was even able to do it, but even then it was hardly able to get 20FPS at best. To sum up, N64 emulation is extremely difficult and literally impossible on both the N3DS and O3DS unless you are fine with a buggy mess that runs games at 1FPS (literally that, not exaggerating) that will most likely just crash.

Oh, then nevermind, lol. If I really want to play N64 games, I can go on my Wii anyway. Though not portable.

For portable N64, your best bet would be a PSVita. Similar architecture and fairly stronger than PSP, so things should pretty decently.

I'm pretty sure I've got an old PSP lying around somewhere. How hard is it to jailbreak?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
