Explain yourself. Why have you still not bought a used japanese

Life is too short for handheld games.

>>378486991
Because my N3DS XL is fully backwards compatible with DS and I can't be arsed buying another one just because the screen is better or whatever

>>378486991
Why would I get one if I already have a hacked N3DS XL? I don't understand the motivation behind that

>>378486991
The DSi XL is hella sexy but I already own a N3DS XL so there's no point in buying a DSi

had a DSi XL since launch day i loved it.

>>378487262
>>378487591
>>378487617
DS games are blurry on a 3DS, they look much better on the DSi XL which has the right resolution and guaranteed IPS screens. I have a 3DS XL and I still bought it.

My purchase was justified, please tell me I didn't waste my money. I'm a neet

because I can already emulate all DS games on a computer or phone

it'd be more worthwhile to hack a 2ds or something with a 64gb sd card

>>378486991
What fucking DS games would I want to play

I got a regular DSi a while back with a flash cart.

There's some good shit. Went through both GCCX games, Layton 1, Advance Wars, and I'm in AAI1 now. I got a lot on my plate.

>but I'm not complaining, at least my president is not a retard.

I owned one of these bad boys before giving to my sister. NDS has a seriously killer library. Maybe the most diverse with the most good games of any library, and some of the BEST remakes ever. Especially the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy remakes. Chrono Trigger port is also stellar.

>>378487064
It's definitely not. 3D "console-tier" games are overrated. Often, they're just more bloated. A lot of DS games are so good because they get straight to the point.

The DS and 3DS kept me a Nintendo fan when they were releasing putrid stank for console hardware.

>>378487937
>DS games are blurry on a 3DS
Holding start when you boot them up helps, but not by much.

>>378488069
They still look like shit when you do that, and you know it.

>>378487937
I can't stand playing DS games on 3DS. The blank black sides on the top screen and the distance between the see-through 3D panel and the actual screen make it look like poo poo.

LOL @ your life

Just get a used japanese DSi XL.

>>378488315
Yeah, have my (You)

Or I can save money and use my 3ds and pc

>>378487937
>blurry
sure thing mate since the dsi has such a great graphics

>>378487937
wouldn't the games be blurry on the DSi?

it's going to be the same resolution but stretched is it not?

>>378489565
It would look maybe a little bit more pixelated, but not blurry because it's still the native resolution.

Because I already have one.

is there any fucking way to softmod a dsi? I want to pirate games without paying for a flashcart that I'll use for 6 games

>>378486991
I have an nvidia shield and it emulates DS games at 720p. Biggest turn off about the ds is the disgusting resolution and how they think its ok to stretch that out into even bigger screens.

>>378486991

Do not want. I have a DSi already.

>>378488341
hahahHAH! Yes! gun Rules! pew pwew pew!!! i love GUN!!!

>>378490931

please clean

It has like 6 pixels per inch. I trashed my 3dsxl years ago

>>378486991
why japanese?

dsixl released overseas

>>378491578
I just did. I used some rubbing alcohol and some toilet paper and didn't the specs till I took the picture.

already have a r4i card for my n3ds

I like my DS lite. I even have a slot-2 cart that lets me play GBA games on it.

The DSi Is basically a prototype for the 3DS; if you have a regular DS and a 3DS there's no reason to own it.

>>378492483
It's got the PS buttons also printed on them, it's weird.

>>378486991
>I bought one for 35€

Where?

>>378493221
READ THE FUCKING OP

E FUCKING BAY

Now go to ebay and buy one.

Why would I buy a DSi when I can buy a 3DS?

That's fucking stupid, just get a 3DS.

>>378494647
And from who?

>>378492136
>Why don't you read the OP, anon?
>It is dirt cheap because it's japanese
those are the same price as non-japanese ones

did you buy a bunch of japanese dsixl and are trying to sell them on ebay now or something
this is some ghetto tier fucking advertising kid

>>378487064
What did he mean by this?
Are they coming to get you, anon?

>>378494825
Forget the DSi XL, just kill yourself instead.

>>378494904
Japanese ones are cheaper, at least on european ebay.

supposedly it can play ds roms from the sd card better than the 3ds.

>>378486991
Because I have a 3DS XL with a flashcart.
That said, DSis were horribly underrated.

>>378495810
Holy fuck. How much is a flashcart nowadays and where can I get one?

if you need a sexy handheld that can play DS games, why not preorder a New 2DS XL

>>378486991
wait for n2dsxl to become hackable, or buy n3ds

flash cards dont work in dsi mode however
https://gbatemp.net/threads/srloader-nds-app-for-dsi.472200/page-4
talk of a new exploit for softmoding the 3ds has been in the woks. i think its the opera browser because remember there was a leak of opera source code last year and because its so fucking old. as for flash cards youre best bet would be a supercard dswtwo or a acekard2i because the dsi blocks old r4 cards.

Why? I have a 3DSXL with an R4, so I have literally all DS and 3DS games.

srloder is not perfect yet but soon
its actualy a hell of a lot more feasible to load nds roms from the sd on a dsi then on a 3ds

The only DS game I care about is Strange Journey and I already own that

A DSi XL is the definitive way to play DS and DSiWare games. Guaranteed IPS screens, the best speakers and battery life of any DS system, no mismatched color temperatures that plagued the regular-sized DSi systems, big fat pixels for 2D sprite-based games, games take up the entire screen unlike the 3DS, and just the best looking screen for DS games.

The problem with the 3DS is that DS games are stretched out to match the increased resolution of the 3DS, which just looks terribly blurry. You can remedy this by holding Start or Select upon bootup for a crisp pixel-pixel preservation of the original 256x192 resolution, but you get black borders around the game. I guess a New 3DS is the best way to play DS games at the standard size due to the IPS screens, but the DSi XL is definitely the best way to play DS games at the XL size and overall in my opinion.

DSi XL is the best for DS games because most games are 2D and sprite-based, so fatter pixels actually looks really nice.

New 3DS is best for 3DS games since most games are 3D and polygon-based, and seeing bigger pixels on 3D models isn't so hot.

>>378492380
could you tell me what that's called so can i get myself one of these

>>378497787
the picture says gpd2 so i think its that.

*that you have to buy from a shaddy as fuck chinese retailer, wait months for it to arrive just to find out is one of the thousand rip-offs

>>378490931
You can get a flash cart for like $15. Don't be ridiculous

anon, I have some bad news 4u. The shop shut down back in March. If your system had previously bought anything, you can still redownload them but only for a limited time.

This thread is autistic and cringey as fuck, but to some extent, I agree. Going out of your way to get he original DSI's is worth it because they have novelty to them. The DS's library is also pretty good. Getting a dsi with a flashcart and you'll be on some unprecedented levels of tomboolery. I appreciate the message you're trying to deliver OP, just stop being so cringey holy FUCK

>>378496750
>soon
never. compatibility will not improve. It's just not technologically possible.

That's fucking sexy tho

>>378486991
>flashcard

Getting this is too much trouble imo. If it ran off an sd card, that's one thing. I have a ton of those laying around. But having to pay to pirate is a nogo.

I'm talking about OP being a aggressive shill about it.

>>378486991
Is it safe to assume that flashcarts can easily bypass the region locking? For whatever reason, Nintendo implemented some form of region locking on the DSi.

>>378499209
It's just 18 dollarios, literally just buy it.

>>378486991
because i have a DS phat with a non-shit d-pad

just use a fucking emulator dork

I bought a dsi last year after only owning a phat and an o3ds. It's definitely the superior way to pay DS games.

Because it's a 3DS.

I have a regular DSi. I always liked it. Skipped the Lite so I felt justified with it.

>>378486991
That's pretty slick actually, I'll look into it.

>DSi XL

The 3DS XL is iffy enough, the DSi XL is literally eye torture. I already have a DS Lite and a DSi I got years ago anyways.

>>378500323
Most run games in DS mode, which bypasses the lock. Only DSi Enhanced games were locked, and even then there were some exceptions, like the English releases of Gen V Pokemon.

why buy an ancient handheld that's easily emulated by smart phones?
