Nice that you finally got one!
I am also thinking about buying one, but I’m hoping they’ll do a clear blue version like they did for the PS1. I currently have 2 clear blue official memory cards in my PS2 and really like the look, so it would be cool if I could keep that color scheme.
Oh, and there’s the Wii mini too. Can’t think of any newer system with a DVD flap.
Wait, the OG 3DS has that too? My New 3DS has that problem as well. Crazy that they managed to repeat that design flaw.
Neither the Wii nor the Wii U use emulation. Both have the hardware to play GC games natively.
But keep in mind that the Wii U’s upscale of SD content is not that great. It wont necessarily look better than using a Wii over component cables.
You could get an upscaler, but you know, 480p or 480i is never gonna look good on a 1080p or 4k display. You have the choice between very blurry, kinda blurry, or really sharp and pixelated. Most prefer the latter, but none look truly great I’d say.
Might also be a broken contrast wheel. Could be fixable with IPA if it doesn’t work right.
If it’s really the display, I guess there are at least many replacement options available.
You did try to change the contrast on the GB you bought, didn’t you?
Well yeah, but it also looks worse.
If one still goes with upscalers and likes diy projects, the GBS-control is also definitely worth a look.
That makes sense. Looks awesome!
That looks really nice! What cables are you using on your CRT?
Right, that’s a smart idea. I’m definitely looking forward to how your project is gonna turn out!
Oh, this is so cool! Great project for sure. I wish I got my GBS-Control working correctly in the first place haha
Alright, thanks for the info.
Oh I see, thank you.
Hm I’ll think about it. Seems like this is really the way to go. I was playing on a modded DSi though, so I will probably have to switch to an emulator to use these kinds of cheats. Still, sounds like a good idea.
I always thought about the differences of these 2 modes, but never tried it out. What exactly does it change?
Trust me, first things I do in Pokémon games. Didn’t help.
I was thinking about that. Thank you for the suggestion and also the link :)
Pokémon, actually. Just a month ago I wanted to play Soul Silver. But man, it is tedious. There’s so much slow dialog, long animations, and little inconveniences everywhere (even in the menus). And I feel like you also have to grind to progress, which I absolutely hate in games (but maybe I also just didn’t play well enough, whatever). So yeah, quite disappointed with it since I remember the 3DS games being quite fun.
Often times, yes. Doesn’t mean that OP has to get one of the very old models. I was thinking of one from the last few years. The reason to go with an office pc is simply that you get a good starting point for a pc, so it’s probably cheaper than a full custom build, even if the pc isn’t that old yet. Though I also didn’t look at current prices either.
This basically sounds too good to be true. Making an FPGA core for 1 console is already a challenge, but making a new console that uses multiple cores and plays hundreds of games perfectly? Not gonna be easy.
Especially since they also want to add many more hardware features. The disc drive in particular stands out. I really wonder how they are planning to make all of this work. It’s like they want to recreate the hardware accurately but also add features.
Will the FPGA core be less accurate because of this? Or will it emulate the real hardware perfectly with these extra features added by another chip? Probably the latter, but I’m really looking forward how this is gonna work out nonetheless.
Definitely an interesting project.
