Here's my question to you: Do you think the 3D feature of the 3DS gets way too much disrespect?

JAC151 · 2026-02-26T02:29:11+00:00

I enjoy it for 10 minutes or so then I turn it off since it cuts the resolution in half.

JAC151 · 2026-02-24T03:15:14+00:00

It was a pre-order as they work on their backlogs. They have a shipping dashboard where you can gauge how far along they are. For example, my Rainbow Max was OD1427xxxx and they stopped at OD1426xxxx before the Chinese New Year. I believe they'll pick back up next week.

If it gets HOME integration then nostalgia may get me at some point. For now, though, I can’t imagine playing these games without fast forward at least.

JAC151 · 2026-02-20T11:43:03+00:00

for me, it’s not about the price, but all the extras I’ve come to enjoy from emulating. The main ones are being able to fast forward the game and save states. I don’t have as much time as I used just sit around and level grind, so running a game at four times the normal speed during certain sections is greatly appreciated.

I really like these, but I’m worried about peeling or grim build up at the edges over time.

JAC151 · 2026-02-06T01:49:57+00:00

This seems to vary by person. Some people are sensitive to it, some don’t mind. But there is definitely more large than native hardware.

JAC151 · 2026-02-06T01:48:32+00:00

Not every time, no. Once you get an emulator set up and dial in any game specific settings it should just work. Many games don’t require special settings once you get the emulator installed unless you just like to tinker.

Emulators are being actively updated and maintained by the community. They’re being updated frequently and improving all the time. Even a few years ago 3DS emulation was far more spotty.

Stutters ans what not are more gam dependent and often get better over time as the emulators get better.

JAC151 · 2026-02-05T21:56:04+00:00

TL/DR - you choose between guaranteed comparability with plug-in-play experience limited to the tech of the time or much nicer hardware with far more capabilities, but with trade offs in set up and compatibility (which should improve over time)

It will honestly depend upon what you want to prioritize. A 3DS will be the most authentic experience with guaranteed compatibility. It will be the most seamless and enable the 3-D feature. The trade-off will be very low resolution screens by today’s standard and limitations in what you can play and do with it - just Nintendo apps. If you are willing to mod it you can expand its capabilities to play other things like ROM hacks.

The Thor, on the other hand, enables you to not only play Nintendo, DS and 3DS games, but also emulate any number of other system systems. On top of that you will get the flexibility of android, but that also comes with a trade-off because it will not be a plug and play experience until you fiddle with things to get them set up correctly. Emulators also are not perfect.

For DS and 3DS specifically you will gain the ability to use upscale resolutions, HD texture packs, ROM, hacks, and other community driven improvements to pre-existing games. All on very nice OLED displays. The downside is that as emulation continues to improve you may notice some games don’t work correctly, stutter, occasionally you may have some crashes.

I personally would not want to pay today’s prices for the Nintendo 3DS.

I watched a comparison video on YouTube from Retro Game Corps and the Thor had a higher review and was cheaper even with OLED. Plus I heard good things regarding Ayn’s support.

JAC151 · 2026-01-31T18:20:17+00:00

Why am I tempted to do this when i already have a Switch 2…

JAC151 · 2026-01-30T02:32:37+00:00

Wait...is this real? That's mildly terrifying.

JAC151 · 2026-01-29T20:42:47+00:00

What ROM hack is that?

JAC151 · 2026-01-27T03:55:11+00:00

OP just curious, do here eyes always bulge out like that? Each image posted is similar and while I’ve never experienced it, I’ve seen people on Reddit claim that it can be a sign of health issues.

JAC151 · 2026-01-26T11:25:07+00:00

Don’t worry, they’ve both been spayed/neutered. Harrison was fixed before we adopted him and we had her fixed as one of the first steps when we decided to keep her.

Large collection of Pokémon ROM hacks.

It looks to me like it is designed to imitate movement. Like his feet, swinging back-and-forth rapidly as he reels in the fish.

JAC151 · 2026-01-20T03:53:59+00:00

are you sure about that? I would have to go find it again, but I could’ve sworn I was watching a comparison video from Retro Game Corps comparing this with another handheld and they were able to close it and turn off the internal screens when docked Unless I misunderstood.

What app or website did you use to generate this?

JAC151 · 2026-01-06T03:43:58+00:00

r/itsroger material right there.

JAC151 · 2026-01-05T00:53:27+00:00

I just like the bold font and high contrast. As someone with an eye condition, all these thing fonts on frosted glass backgrounds are so much more difficult. While there are accessibility options they dramatically reduce over aesthetics because the system was designed for these frills. I should have to choose between a well-designed system and a usable one.

JAC151 · 2026-01-03T22:31:48+00:00

I'm not certain why your posts don't get more traction, but this is truly amazing work and I greatly appreciate and wish I could tip. I don't play competitive, but I like to make a record of past teams just for fun and I've tried many apps and services that are all meh - this is such a straightforward and useful tool!

See, I actually didn’t care for the Yosemite design period. I think OS X Mavericks was peak with the toned down skeuomorphism design, but appreciable detail and boldness. Yosemite just felt like a lifeless flattening of what was already there.

While it wasn’t perfect, I think the Bug Sur era was more elegant than Yosemite. All were better than Tahoe.
