With the recent release of TWLTool to downgrade and be able to hack any DSi that exists right as of now, as well as being able to run DSiWare on hacked 3DS consoles, it'd be nice to have a place for all the DSi-related development on the site, whether it's homebrew or tools for DSiWare (Such as tools for editing various games). Could this be a possibility in the near future, perhaps even just a single subforum of the Nintendo DS section?

I haved asked at http://4dsdev.org/ if it's okay to post DSi stuff there. And the answers, http://4dsdev.org/thread.php?id=60 do sound as if it would be okay, or even welcome.
At the moment, there aren't any DSi sections yet, but I guess we can hijack the 3DS homebrew and 3DS reverse engineering sections for now (and mark the topics as "DSi" related).
If the DSi posts should be overshadowing the 3DS posts (quite likely to happen since the forum is focused on tech stuff, and there aren't too many tech people posting there yet), then, I guess, we could even hope to get an own DSi section at 4dsdev. Or in worst case, we might get banned and told to go away with that unpopular DSi stuff ;- )

We are not necessarily against adding a DSi section, but at this moment I'm not sure the DSi threads are active enough to warrant it. We generally create sections for things that have a lot of activity already, and not to make them more active.

Perhaps we could try something else, like adding a thread prefix for DSi threads. It would work just like the "Suggestion" prefix on this thread basically. People could then filter on DSi threads without having to create an entire section for it. If anything, it would make it easier to discuss whether a dedicated section is worth it.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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.

    @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.

    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
