Welcome to the olden days of the wild west internet. Get that modem plugged in and wait a bit until you're connected! Don't forget to check if you've got mail.

I thought I may have found a way to outsmart the system by having my boy be rendered in 256 colors with dithering but he now looks more evil!

Edit: It took me some time to adjust but now my boy works in both the MS-DOS and GBATemp theme! Now I would say I outsmarted the compression! :D

It's the entire asthetic that makes it so great, the BBS feel, low Res images, the font.
The joke might be on us but I genuinely like it as a theme.

I was browsing mid swap over got a little confused but instantly knew.

Also some of the reviews are excellent I got to admit it's a very goodapril fools effort.

No joke here, I unironically and unabashedly love this theme! If you could keep it around permanently, or better yet, create a modern looking, high-contrast, minimalistic, black-out theme, that would be awesome. B-)
Don't get me wrong, I like this forum. It's very educational & useful (if also more than a bit disorganized, and filled with badly maintained threads... I'll shut up about that for now. :P); But this theme, imho, is a huge improvement over the "pastel puke" that this site, and many others have gravitated towards over the last half decade, or so.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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:

  • 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
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
