It's neat but I think I would still prefer using the 3DS. Especially for games like Moon where you have to use the touchpad and D-pad at the same time.

Personally, for me, the advantages with the DS is that it runs GBA games and that it doesn’t verify games, which makes Homebrew a lot more easier.

Fair enough. I would probably just rely on emulators or, if I felt like putting in some additional effort, the virtual console and modified CIA files. I say would because I don't typically use my DS or 3DS for anything but those games.

CIA has got to be the coolest named filetype ever

Wait 'til you hear about FBI, the software used to install these files

I'm part of this world. I found myself trying to rebuild a Amiga for hundreds of dollars when I literally could just get a emulator.

The fun is getting it to work.

Even with emulators there's a lot of room for tinkering. Just look at !sbcgaming@lemmy.ml
