Was browsing the site last night on a 3DS i got and it seems some pictures wouldn't load at all.

Some pictures won't load on my older smartphone as well.

That happens to me when the resolution of the images is to high <w<

huh, tech sure has come a long way in regards to handheld video game devices hasn't it? i still remember the old game gear that sega released and the original gameboy for nintendo (oh gods was it horrible when those things had no back light to them. that's one thing i am VERY grateful to emulation for. it makes games THAT old actually playable without fighting for good lighting on the screen.). we've gone from games visually inferior to genesis games all the way up to fully 3d graphics on cartridges, and that's just up to NDS. now, a few more handhelds later and they also have internet browsing capabilities. absolutely amazing when you think about it. and dvd (or is it blu-ray now?) playing for the playstation side of things i think.

The NDS browser is a heavily gutted Opera fork, the RAM usage is limited to about 128mb or something, and with that large images can't be displayed. This is not something we can directly help with. If you want we do have an option that resample images down to 700px and below, these should always show. The option is under your account setting and labeled something about resampling images.

The GBA SP plays all original GB games, and has back light, it's a good investment if you like to play the classics "properly". Also, the NDS already got an Internet browser outside of Japan, and I believe the GBA was the first to receive mobile Internet, but that was Japan only.

Yes. As I have a very high regard for video games, I think emulation is blasphemy. I must add that the GBA had horrible "back lights". The GBC didn't have any, but you could still see pretty well with average background lights.

Yeap. I had the RAM expansion required for the Opera browser. Just have to say that even old nokia S40 phone performed better and feel sorry whoever bought that for any other use than some collection on shelf.

3DS browser does benefit from more RAM and far better and faster wifi adapter, but still would never use it if I have any sort of android phone available. One huge benefit on it though is being able to watch stereoscopic .mpo images directly on webpages, there are even sites dedicated for this. However there's not that much benefit when you can just have all and every 3D image on your SD card, because they won't take much space with screen resolution being so goddamn low. Also you can easily just turn any image under stereogram tag (outside majority of anaglyphs) into 3DS compatible .mpo in seconds.

Have original GBA there, that one doesn't have any light at all. Should tweak it or throw it to someone who could mod lights to it.
DS and DS Lite had actual hardware for GBA and those were the best way to play GBA games without resorting to emulation. Also the port could be used for rumble pack, the looks from ppl when I played elite beat agents with that as that thing was loud!

Original 3DS/2DS has 128 MB FCRAM.

N3DS has 256 MB FCRAM.

http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Memory_layout

Original 3DS/2DS RAM usage
os: 24 MB(Can't be dumped with browser RAM dumper)
game/app: 64 MB
browser: 40 MB

The 3DS browser is better used as a homebrew entry point than it is as a browser. It completely lacks support for things that would be expected from a browser, and as already stated in the thread, its hardware is much too limiting.

Why were you browsing the internet on a 3DS?
Slow page loading and frequent errors are why I stopped bothering with my 3DS's browser after getting it.

Looking at images I'd assume. :P

When I got mine back in 2011 I used to come here too for the porn. It was frustrating to use.

I used the Wii to look at naughty pictures. Flashes too, thought it could be a bit laggy. The PS3 were a pain to do that with as it was harder to surf and zoom with. I have also used the Wii U controller as a last resort when the cell needed to be recharged. A perk with it is that it is good to zoom in with.

ah, to each his own. but to be fair, without emulation a great games may have simply been lost to time such as pre-snes/genesis era games. i mean, it's not like nintendo or whoever else makes those anymore.

so on that end of it, you'd have to admit that while you disapprove of it, emulation DOES have it's benefits. like preserving older video games.

Sure, if you're too poor to buy old consoles and games or that the psychical copy is rare.

Most users should be using this. It's very convenient for slow connections.

The name is "Image resize mode" and the option is "Show reduced samples".

There's also a mobile web page

That was rather uncalled for. Not all of us have money to throw around for legacy technology.

I don't think that would fix it. The mobile website still opens the full size image (ie, static.e621.net)

I see a beauty in saving up (alternatively taking the time to find it cheap) for something you wish for. Emulation takes away charm and feel from an art form. That's how I see it.

Thats an elitist fallacy born of having too much money and too little common sense. But ok.

Maybe there is a nice side of buying he games, its always nice getting the hardware but considering (even as someone who actually owns all that hardware and those games) Try finding compatible tv units to play them on these days? The hookups for the nes and genesis aren't often compatible with modern machines as it is, do you propose we also go out and get a crt from the 80s to play on?

Thats not logical nor feasible.

Chrono Trigger SNES is worth 500 to 1200 dollars, is that really something someone has the logical means to save up for in this day and age?

On sub 10 min wage in some places? No.

Anyway the best way to handle this is to use reduced image mode, where e6 autoresizes to fit your browser.

There are actually dedicated video converters for older consoles to work better with new TVs, they convert the signal into digital and also allow basic up scaling with filters and anti aliasing so they look decent at a resolution 4 times larger than intended.

Also, there might come a point in the future where the old hard- and software falls into the public domain (some 70 years off) that people can start 3D printing their own game consoles for the older stuff, at that point you'd be able to drop the ROMS into them and play them on original hardware again.

Now that's something I can get behind, thats really cool tbh.

I know most emulators have some really nice upscaling and 2Xsai filters etc so I wonder how much better hardware emulation for that would be...

I have a modern TV and it can play NES just fine. As elitist as I may sound, it is not the case every time. If an old game is officially released on a newer platform I'm okay with it. I'm very much against piracy.

Always depends on the local laws. In Germany you're allowed to make or obtain copies of software that you own, since you buy a license key and not a "physical" product. As such creating or downloading a rom of a game you have in storage somewhere is perfectly legal, even if that copy is no longer working.

In my opinion that is a very good solution against piracy but also allows you to play your games forever and on different devices, if need be.
