I think they should use the 3D for the Wii. 3D on the DS would make the DS have a short battery life.What makes you think that? Nothing has been revealed about the 3d technology.
^agreed. i feel like it might make games difficult to play... imagining having to navigate a 3d map with arrow keys makes my head hurt
that video is epic: i've never seen it in motion before, and lol at the electric cello in the back
(as long as you don't quit calc stuff (and your projects) lol) :PYOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE... oh wait, you are asking me not to drop the projects :P I thought I was talking to my parents for a second there...

Mosaic. :)on calc compiler*IDE
Sorry about my lack of proper terminology. :)Just messing around with you. Plus, an IDE is much, much better than a standalone compiler, and I would rather people not get confused.
Yeah that sucked. I think for the DSi you can buy special flash carts and put NES, SNES, GB, GBC and GBA games on them, though. I don't know if it requires to jailbreak the DS, though...
Apparently it finally has an analog stick called a "slide pad." I was wondering when they were going to come out with something like that.I hope you don't mean the joystick thing on the PSP 3000... I totally hated that...
Wasn't Kid Icarus like on the old 8 bit NES? I never got into that serie personally but it seems coolyeah, it was. it was actually a really fun game. unfortunately, though, they stopped making new games in the series a while ago for some reason or another. i'm glad that they're finally making another one. :D
So far, not to downgrade the awesomeness of this (because it is), it looks kinda of like a N64 remake with better graphics :P (And obviously handheld.)Regardless I would still find it nice, though. Even if it was the exact same game as the 64, since we would no longer need a N64 or emulator+ROM to play it, not to mention they generally add bonus features when they re-release games now. :)
It seems though that the 3D part of this is just introducing better graphics and such instead of systems like head tracking and such. I could be completely wrong though, I haven't done any research on this. That is just what I've kinda seen from the images and such.
For the power button I'm assuming its going to be a "hold" type of system where you have to hold the button for a few seconds before it shuts down. Would at least make more sense if it is.
It's not an emulator per-say, its more of a debugger. Technically, it is a debugger, but it won't be available outside of tiDE. It's sole purpose is to be a debugger that can integrate with the IDE. I would really rather integrate WabbitEmu, but it is not compatible with .NET without some *serious* porting work.hmm i only happened to catch this from a random search, but wabbitemu provides a COM interface that is fully compatible with .NET. Better yet it should work with reg-free COM (read: no admin required :D). Netham45 is using this in webbitemu. Just something to consider...

EDIT: i should also mention that this is definitely a work in progress, so expect a little head banging frustration sometimes :P
i really hope the 3ds has head trackingWow! looking cool
here's another cool thing that uses it =D
Yes yes essentially yes (you provide a handle it sends the WM_USER message, so you can then do whatever you want with) and yes. it also allows you to step (in over and out) and more.It's not an emulator per-say, its more of a debugger.

Interesting, does it allow me to programatically set breakpoints, access the memory, run a callback method when a breakpoint is hit, and read and modify the state of the hardware?
Also, perhaps more of a feature request than anything else, but can it emulate missing RAM pages or the LCD driver glitch?
Last week it dropped to $189.99 at Wal Mart over here O.O, but now it's back to $249.99. Apparently it's supposed to drop to $169.99 for real soon, but before that happens they were offering some free NES games and GBA games exclusive to people buying it before the price drop or something.Well, here's how it works. If you log into the 3DS eShop before the date of the price drop (August 12), then you become registered in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program. The free games aren't actually available until later this year.
Oh ok, and what was the feature of the games in particular? Did they have extra stuff or is it the exact same? I got plenty of emulator games and even an original NES/SNES :PWell, from what I've heard, the NES games won't have extra features at first (since we're getting them early), but when the updated versions are released publicly, the ambassador program members can get those versions for free as well.

I believe the free games are available starting in September (13th?). This is good for me. When I first heard the news about the price drop I was a bit disappointed because I thought "Gee, I should have waited to buy it.". However the offer of 20 free games isn't too bad. I believe it is specifically 10 nes titles and 10 gba titles. I'm not sure how many from each platform will be available to choose from though.
Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda
Balloon Fight
Ice Climber
Donkey Kong Jr.
Metroid
Open Tournament Golf
Wrecking Crew
Yoshi

The Wii VC version of SMB is not patched - you can access Minus World there. I've done it a few times. Some games have had minor non-gameplay-related patches applied to them (like fixing the spelling of Gannon), but the 3DS versions seem to be identical to the North America versions that were released on Wii VC. (Even if you live in a PAL region. :banghead:)
On your comment about Super Mario 3D land. You don't need the 3D on actually, I beat the game while only using 3D about 30% of the time. My 5 year old brother has the 3D disabled and has almost beaten the game, he is about 80% through the game and hasn't used the 3D at all.
By the way nice review. My only complain about the 3DS is that for the 3D, you always have to be at a certain position in front of the screen, else it looks weird. Since I tend to move a lot while playing, I always keep 3D disabled or at minimum.
Is it available in the US? I wantsIt will be released in North America on July 19th. The official website is at http://www.petitcomputer.com/ (http://www.petitcomputer.com/), though that site is very incomplete compared to the Japanese version (hopefully that will change by the release date or soon after)
I've heard 3DS ROMs are 8 to 16 GB, and nobody knows how to dump themWell the 3DS can play normal DS games, so I'd figure that the pinouts of the cartridges are the same.
Or for calc84maniac to come up with a 3DS emulator for the TI-83 Plus ... out of nowhere ... <_<O.O
