Even if it's real, that is by no means proof. Loading pics is like the easiest thing ever. 3D mode is even turned off, so you don't have to fake that.


no 3ds virtual console game ever has the 3d on though

If you're running a Gameboy, Gameboy Color, or Sega Game Gear game, the 3D Light can be on if you hold Select and Start while loading it. It will scale the game down to its native resolution and display a border of the system around the game. The 3D slider controls how far into the game system the screen will appear.

Good work. I expect this is not going to be a firmware thing. Just some sort of modification of downloaded Virtual Console files stored on the SD Card.

I think you are both missing my point.

The first thing you do to check for fakes is look to see if the green 3D light is on, because that means it's definitely in 3DS mode. Because the 3D light would normally be off anyway in a VC game, that pic could be taken while in NDS mode with a little image rendering and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

In short, the only thing that gives this claim legitimacy is smealum's reputation. If he didn't have that, then there would be absolutely no reason to believe it.

I don't know what's the point of this thread... To know that this is possible after all? Well, I would enjoy having something like this, but who would be the good homebrew developer that will release this feature to the public? :(

Well, we certainly wouldn't count on Smealum to release such a hack publicly:creep: Someone else has to do it.

But, but...why on earth would he ever do that? :rolleyes: Where ever did you get that impression?


smealum said:
again, never said i didn't intend to release anything. either way, DS mode has gbc emus already so who cares.

He dosen't have any intention to release it if nobody seems interested. I'm very interested, but many others aren't, since they have gbc emulators working fine on tablets, even on DS's. Form me, it is a great oportunity because I'm on 7.1, don't have a DSTWO or a tablet, only my PC, and for portable gaming a PC sucks, its pointless.

Anyway, it seems we will have only the knowledge of this, so the only possible way to get it is hoping that another homebrew dev takes the project and release it.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    May just order a 5700g for a nas/emulation set up tbh
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast you were asleep on 4/20

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
