Ahh yes, MVG made a video about the N64 version of Resident Evil 2. Really impressive stuff. it's amazing how it could fit into a 64mb cartridge and barely lose any content, other than compressed FMV, graphics and sounds.

Who'd ever thought that I would reply to this thread someday…*Ahem*

Thanks for mentioning this video and thanks @Stealphie for bringing up this topic! It was interesting to watch. The clever workarounds for getting the full motion video, textures, speech and music into a 64MB cart are impressive – to say the least.
And the only thing that is repeated over and over and over again when talking about early 3D games is: "Has aged badly!!11!!!"

I recommend watching "Coding Secrets" by Jon Burton for more clever tricks for achieving seemingly impossible things and pushing the limits.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • 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
