Why are uncs paying a 1000 bucks for a 3ds instead of just emulating?
>>736423156you have to feel the buttons
Real nintendo fans bought a 3ds when it was the current handheld.
>>736423156I know a zoomer that's trying to collect all the physical pokemon carts for some reason despite working a shitty minimum wage job
>>736423156Millennial uncs are tech illiterate. They don't even know what computer folders are.
Because when you're in your late twenties to early thirties you can buy back your childhood at a premium and not sweat it. How are you needing this explained to you day after day after day?
>>736423156This shit was so comforting I really don't know why Nintendo gave up on it just because the Switch can be brought everywhere. Make a Switch Fold that is a lot cheaper and more personal at the expense of not playing every single game the Switch 2 can. It is a tragedy that pocket handhelds were pretty much given up on for giant heavy portable computers.
Speculating trannies.
>>736423156The only 3ds emulator in active development is Azahar which is a buggy piece of shit
>>736423156>1000 bucksThose are rookie numbers.
>>736423434that's just the blue one with a kyogre decal I wonder if I could get away with putting one on the one I own and selling it for a couple thousand
>>736423156They arent. Theyre selling them to late gen zoomies, aplhas and betas
>>736423740I had a red 3ds xl with a charizard decal and i manage to scam some fat black guy $400 for it just because it was hacked.
3DS and DS games were designed for resistive touchscreens. No amount of tinkering or touch pen shopping will change that, and for touch intensive games it matters a lot.That's the only objective reason it might be more valuable than emulating, the rest is typical scalper behaviour.
>just get the Thor it'll look so much better!>weird artifacting and texture glitching all over the placewow gee thanks looks so much better
You can go on eBay right now and see it's not above 400 in 90% of them you retard
>>736425214>upscales game>wtf why doesn't it look like the original?!
>>736425214What game
>>736425214Those analogue sticks look like shit
>>736425214you're supposed to replace the driver. many emulators support this feature on android.
>>736425684>>736425594It's Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology.And yes, I forgot to get the mrpurple t26 drivers.So yes, I am retarded, sorry.But if I run into issues imagine the average retard trying to do any of thisThere is something to be said about the "it just works" approach of official hardwareEven modding a 3DS is easier than this.
>>736425836some emulators have a built in driver installer for example the switch emulator eden. all normies have to do is click accept to download and they have the latest version.
>>736423156It's authentic experience. Emulators just don't feel the same.
>>736425910Azahar in this case did not, I had to source it from GitHub.But I guess the bigger issue is that you have to even be aware of this option, and that good emulation relies on fanmade software fixes at all.
>>736423217This, the current trend is probably to scam users by overpaying for a multiplayer system that no longer has online multiplayer, marketer are geniuses
>>736423156It's just better.
>>736425963also you can just resell the console and games for probably the same price at worst. Steamies dont realize this as they don't actually own anything
>>736423156>uncsIts literally zoomers lol
>>736423156uncs are playing the 3ds they bought when it first came out its zoomers paying $1000
>>736425963>authentic experienceThat was when you played with friends, you can't no longer use online multiplayer features and zoomies/alpha kids don't have close friends
>>736423281so? he has a dream he wants to accomplish and you are putting him down? what a piece of shit
why is /v/ so shit nowadays? literally a thread about one Nintendo's best handhelds and most post are people bitching about other generations
>>736423156>uncsI'm sorry, sir, but I don't have a monkeyspeak amulet equipped
>>736426382i don't think these people even realize that zoomers are in their mid-late 20s now and grew up with these things
>>736426382>>736426494it's bots and subversive subhumans so the site doesn't seem completely dead
>>736426494I'm not saying they are right but faggots here prefer to post shit over actually talking about games
>>736423156uncs already owned a 3ds before the switch, its zoomers seeing it used by their favorite streamer or on ticktock reseller shorts that are buying them.
>>736423156It's not selling at that price. It's going for half that.
>>736426634to add on to this, them removing the IP counter is basically an admittance that the subhumans are just samefagging constantly
>>736426789another bot trying to generate discord to increment responses , this site has truly gone to hell
>>736426946ironic retardation is still retardation my friend
How that retirement plan going bros? I'm buying consoles from Japan, check if they are ok, fix if something don't work and just put into box for future re-sell.
>>736425214I hate chink trinkets but this actually looks kind of cool
>>736423156Its mostly zoomers. Just type 3DS on youtube and tiktok and you will understandAlso the reason why the prices aren't increasing due to the crazy ass demand is because even the larpers ARENT keeping the consoles they just resell them"Collecting" became one of the most popular hobby among normie. Not collecting something you like obviously, just collect something because something something need to buy
>>736427267It's been surprisingly good for Vita, which does have an OLED screen too but this is just on another level, especially when upscaled to 1080p.
>>736427427>Not collecting something you like obviously, just collect something because something something need to buyAs someone who collects and builds models that's really sad. I chose this because I always wanted to try one and then I ended up loving it with building being something I can just relax to with some music. These kids on the other hands just see a YouTuber telling them to buy and they do it.
>>736423156There's a few reasons>3DS emulation isn't in the most stable state>Having original hardware feels nice since that's how the games were meant to be played>Has the 3D slider, which is useful for certain gamesI always wanted the Yoshi-themed 3DS XL as a kid, but I was stuck with a 2DS. I still had loads of fun on it, but I've always dreamed of getting that Yoshi one someday. The way prices are now though, I'm starting to doubt that'll happen.
>>736427636It became a business: >wealthy resellers that monitoring every single product that might go oop to resell them in the future>stupid people that pay whatever price, not because they have the mean, but its exactly like iphone/apple trend but even worse since they do not care or need this item>editor/distributor enjoy the fomo caused by all of this and get more visibilityI would rather own the iso or spend monthly 10$ than paying it like x5 the retail price, for an item that has been OOP for like 1 YEAR
>>736428067The 3DSXL Yoshi is like 270e cib in europe, not too badThe collectors 3DS versions surprisingly don't sell that much. They make up less than 2% of total second-hand sales
I have an unopened red new 3ds xl from like 10 years ago. Wouldn't the battery be worth shit now anyway.
>>736425836can you fast forward ds and 3ds games with that chinkheld?
>>736428342DS should be easy to speed up with MelonDS.3DS has speed up with Azahar but I have no idea how well that feature works, may need to turn down upscaled resolution but I haven't tested it.
>uncsCan we apply a global wordfilter to this tiktok fecal language?
>>736423197I have, they're awful.
>>736425214Brutal moggingsAnd there are some people in denial who will say that Nintendo N3DS is way better
>>736427456How much is this? Damn, I want to find a reason to buy it, but I don't know what games should I even play in it
>>736428569Jannies think nigger ragebait words are engagement while promptly deleting already sparse vidya discussions
>>7364231563DS emulation is terrible
>>736428746250-489 depending on model, 400 for this particular model (pro) and if you don't splurge for the preemo DHL shipping for like 40 dollars you will likely get hit with tariffs (if American)Also the current pre orders won't ship for another 2 months.You can buy them secondhand but it's like a 100-250 dollar premium at the moment.
>>7364285694chan has a filter feature, how about you filter every words that offend you instead. Do it all by yourself
>>736423156It's called a collector item. That's not the base model.>>736423740I'm sure the people who want to buy a one of 25 items don't know any better than to buy from a retard like you.
>>736423156There is a Japanese re-seller with loads of used and still in box new3ds, 2ds, psp and ps vitas turning into a millionaire, because retards suddenly pay huge prices for these.
>>736429251People who do this kind of business are already pretty wealthy, not your avg joe. Don't forget that we used to value money "more" before and things didn't sell as fastNo one could predict that in a single month everything would triple price and never drop. This is so bizarre. The poser larping and brainriot got the best of the normies i guess
>>736429369>resellers>wealthy
>zoomers are to poor to afford a dual IPS new 3dslmfao
>>736423281Based zoomer
>>736423156This whole market was created by NDS retards spamming "do you know it's le easy to hack a 3DS?" so a bunch of retards rushed to buy one, hack it and then never play anything on it. It's really obvious when you see people posting about the 3DS all over the internet but never about 3DS games.
>>736429526The ones that use the best bots or bought in bulk a while ago ARE wealthy. Only like 1% or less are resellers, most are just normie following the trendThey are very easy to spot on ebay they usually in bulk same product, they don't have 1 or 2 3DS, more like 20-25Collecting useless stuff to you became one of the most popular hobby. No one actually cares about this product, played it lot or want to play it. Its just virtue signaling. You can thank the Tiktok/Youtube algorythm, its just like TCG
>>736429049>You can buy them secondhand but it's like a 100-250 dollar premium at the moment.Europoor where, never bought secondhand online. Where can I buy them? I don't mind scratches
>>736429660Thats not it. People since covid started collecting ANYTHING. I know them IRL, they are buying ANYTHING TCG whatever game dvd anything you have to "consume". The stupid FOMO trend that we been getting since Fortnite/Gacha helped it"You need to buy it fast! Otherwise in the future it will cost four time the price from a seller and NO we won't reprint it!"
>>736429719Ebay / Facebook marketplace / whatever online platforms are available to you to buy and sell shit
>>7364296603DS games are shit, DS games are better.
I broke my good condition new 3DS somehow by hacking it and now it's just gathering dust next to my PSP. No idea what happened to it, the touch screen no longer works and none of the face buttons work. Idk.
>>7364296603DS games are fucking horrible.
>>736429660the point of hacking it is to massively expand the library from the shitty 3ds games to every 1st-4th gen game along with handhelds and homebrew shit along with mods/online fuckery
>>736429660I play 3DS and DS games on my 3DS because I find it better than Citra. I don't really care about anything else.
>>736429791I have a copy of melee with a $5 goodwill sticker from 2019. Since COVID all of their non sports games or Wii shoveleware is online only retail where you're paying eBay prices
>>736430064Yeah I don't trust those placesGuess I'll just wait for the gabe 'ick 2
there's plenty of good 3DS games.but even if you dont like them, the entire library of native DS and GBA games at your hand is incredible.
>>7364296603ds catalog is goated just between monster hunter, smt, and etrian odessy. All of those games are discussed constantly on and off /v/ as wellYou just have shit taste or are one of the vita subhumans still seething that the 3ds curbstomped your pathetic "handheld"
>>736425214Capacitive touchscreens make all these chinkhelds a non-starter for me for DS and 3DS emulation. Until I get a resistive touchscreen they can all commit ritual suicide for my entertainment.
>>736430845What's the difference between the two?
>>736430521Lot of those "collectors" are empty shell because they don't seem to care about anything but following the trendYou can't just "wait" for a decent "deal" anymore. Like Pokemon Emerald is gonna be 200$, unless you buy it from a friend or get extremely lucky in a flea market, even 150$ copies will be instabotted so why bother
>>736430885The short answer is that between the different medium (resistive vs capacitive) and the layer of emulation you're introducing something like 10 additional frames of input lag, which can be a problem depending on what you're doing.
>>736430713Hey buddy, no need to be a faggot and bring the Vita out of nowhere.
>>736430845This. Is it that hard to make one single resistive touchscreen model?>>736430885Capactivive touchscreens are amazing for fingers but are absolute dogshit with styluses. Pic related is your most common android stylus for those screens, it's awful.Resistive touchscreens on the other hand are awful for your fingers but are perfect with styluses.The problem is, NDS games were made with styluses in mind. They require way too much precision so you can't just use your fingers. If you've played trauma center before, then you fucking know that your fingers won't cut it
>>736430885Capacitive touchscreens are all modern flat-glass touchscreens that respond to the electrical conductivity of your flesh, resistive touchscreens react to actual friction and pressure put upon them at small impact points. The DS and 3DS have screens very well built for styluses but are poor for finger input unless you use your fingernail. Smartphones and other capacitive touchscreens are very well built for hand control but are poor for styluses unless your device has a bespoke stylus, or has a rubber tipped stylus that doesn't feel anything like using a plastic nib stylus with a DS.
>>736431048>input lag This is my biggest gripe with the emulation of certain games. I want Rhythm Heaven Megamix to work so bad, but it’s just ever so slightly out of sync. KMS
What's stopping Nintendo to just resell the 3DS again? Literally a gold mine
>shitch 2 is so bad that faggots would rather just go back to the 3DSSad
>>736431048>10 additional frames of input lagSounds like hell.I don't know how much input lag was in the Megaman x collection on the Switch, but it made the games unplayable for me.
>>736431727Logistics and potential market value. Remember that Nintendo games sell Nintendo consoles. So are there enough new games being made to market a 3DS rerun to the masses? No. It's not worth it, especially when production has wound down and the factories likely already disassembled the machinery to make them.
>>736431890>Remember that Nintendo games sell Nintendo consolesThen why is the switch 2 selling so much?
>>736431727They sunsetted the console probably because it wasn't a gold mine anymore (plus piracy is piss easy, they beefed up the Switch and Switch 2's security so hard it's insane)
>>736431948Because Nintendo finally found a system seller with Pokopia. MKW wasn't the killer app they hoped, so they've been looking for one since.
>>736426273>Collect a bunch of obsolete plastic on a zoomer wageHe will be lucky to have children.
>>736431035I have two copies of Emerald kek.One Italian and one Japanese. Together they costed me less than a single burger copy.
