Just posting to introduce myself. I am a long-term gamer who has steadily evolved into a “filthy casual” XD I primarily enjoy retro console and arcade titles. Some of my favorite games are: Aliens Vs. Predator (arcade), Metroid Fusion, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Link’s Awakening.

I live in the Pacific Northwest where I enjoy hiking, climbing, photography, and flying freestyle Fpv drones when the weather allows.

I am interested in learning about emulator development for the DSi XL, because I think it is the sleeper “perfect handheld”. It’s value has been eclipsed by newer hardware (which does not have the same display quality/capability).

I hope to eventually know enough to contribute to the development of homebrew and emulators for the DSi platform.

I’m glad to meet you all \m/o\m/

I’ve been wondering, what does GBATEMP stand for?

"GBA" as in the Nintendo handheld, "Temp" as in "temporary" however it's been named that for the past ~18 years or so, the name just stuck, and the forum is no longer just about the GBA..
Anyway, hello to you and welcome to "GBATemp"! :toot:

I've got another general question, so I will add it here :) What is the best way to share a resource I've developed?

Specifically, I have taken a scan of the Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls manual from Vimm's Lair, and cut it all up and arranged the pages in booklet order. The resulting PDF can be printed on 8.5x11 paper, the pages can be cut in half (approximately), then stacked and bound with a staple just like the original manual.

As far as I know, this is the only version of this manual in booklet-ready form that is in existence. Should I upload it to Drive and share the link here? Is there a better repository for it?

It was not hard, but it was tedious, and I'd like for my effort to possibly benefit other gamers :)

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/ntdoy/market-cap/ I think they'll be alright
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?
    :rofl2:
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017
  • Metoroid0 @ Metoroid0:
    mabe where you live
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The NES launched at like 250 and the rob and light gun kit was like 350 or something
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I was near the test market for the NES and man did it make my 2600 look like ass lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    There has to be some mutual agreement with them all anything over $600 is just pc territory
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    next system rumored to launch at $400
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    but I don't really believe any rumors yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
