    Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

    With the support for 3DS now being removed from Nintendo, I wonder if installing this will remove my warranty? I had this 3DS for a decade now so I guess I have no reason to worry about it. The thing is, my NNID is connected to my Nintendo account. I do not want it comprommised and tog et banned...

    Gaming Misc What are some terrible game design decisions in various video games?

    I really hate the item storage system in EarthBound.

    Old games you thought they were great but you later realized they aren't

    Mega Man 3 is by no means a bad game but some level design decisions really did not age well.

    Games that are too "old" and "unplayable" for you?

    EarthBound Zero/Beginnings tried to be a modern, quirkier Dragon Quest homage. It ended up being an inferior version of the Dragon Quest games. It had some good ideas but the game clearly needed more polish. Still, it is a pretty decent game.

    What are some of the most questionable game design decisions in various video games? They can be older video games to modern video games.

    Games that are too "old" and "unplayable" for you?

    I agree with the above post about the Gameboy. I really like the GameBoy but I would sooner play on an emulator than on an emulator than on the actual console. I am sure that Atari 2600 is a good console too but I am not sure if I can play those games.

    Gaming Misc What can be done to improve the Pokémon franchise?

    Look at what happened to the Mega Man franchise in the early 2000s.

    Gaming Misc What can be done to improve the Pokémon franchise?

    I could not agree more. The developers need more time as cutting some Pokémon from the game is completely stupid.

    Gaming Misc What can be done to improve the Pokémon franchise?

    I do not really mind the 3D models but I do agree that they should have more time to refine the process. As for the rivals, they only mean rivals were Blue and Silver but the latter both had a character arc.

    Gaming Misc What can be done to improve the Pokémon franchise?

    I heard once that the development time for these games is too short or needs better management. What do you think of this?

    [Chrome OS/Chromebook/Linux (Debian 11/Bullseye)] How do you remote connect to the Linux Virtual Machine on Chromebook/Chrome OS?

    I want to remote connect from my Windows computer to my Linux Virtual Machine on my Chromebook. My Chromebook is an HP Chromebook x360 and I want to connect it to my Windows XP computer remotely. The problem is that I am not sure how I can do this. I had been searching online and it would appear...

    @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.

    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
    for people with beefy hands.

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

    @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
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
