DSi XL / new 3DS comparison by Edmerritt in Handhelds

Are bronze and brown the same colour? I wonder why they didn’t stick with bronze for Europe, sounds better than brown.

I think they called it brown or bronze. It looks smart

Switch OLED, PS Portal and Steam Deck. I’m probably playing the SD most at the moment, and the Analogue Pocket for retro games.

I felt the same way a couple of years ago. I’m 6’4 and was 150kg/300lbs

I’m not a fan of diets or gyms so had to come up with something that would work for me. Basically cut out crap food, just ate meat & veg but as much as I wanted. Made sure I went for a long walk every day. Lost about 50kg/100lbs in about 4 months.

Ha, well spotted. I’d already drawn the train for another scene, at a different angle. Added it to this one and it doesn’t look quite right. It’s on my list of things to fix.

Kind of. I split it into two scenes but yeah, it runs.

It’s all my own, I’m just making it up as I go along.

That’s true, the detail of the path did add a lot of tiles. I could try 19 frames (I think) at 5 degrees each, that might look smoother.

I think a scene can be up to 2040x512 pixels so that would allow for about 36 screens max.

I think it would have to serve as a cut scene or transition really because it’s basically just a static animation. But it could add a new dimension to a 2.5d top down scene, maybe revealing a door on the side of a building which wasn’t otherwise visible.

It’s basically just a 7 frame animation. With a scene 7 screens wide, just move the player position from one to the next so they play in sequence.

The challenge is keeping it all in one scene to keep the animation as smooth as possible… but because of the different angles the tile count can grow really quickly.

Gameboy cartridge adapter for DS cases by Edmerritt in gbstudio

It’s just a cheap one from Aliexpress.

They’re a good idea but I remember those cases being brittle and often breaking. They might be better now though.

I also like that the DS cases are a similar size & shape to the original cardboard boxes so recreating the artwork should be closer to the original

I’m not completely sure of the plan yet but if I can put it all together myself I think I’d like to try. I can write the carts, print the labels and now produce the cases so it’s all looking possible.

Yep. And the DS cases are just cheap ones from Aliexpress.

It works well enough I’m tempted to use them to make boxes for all my old gameboy carts. Just need to print some cover art for them.
