are you kiding me i have a dsi xl and the it’s not more pixely too the point where you see it ok so imageine makeing image bigger by an inch not that much of a diffrents
the normal dsi dosn’t wobble, the normal one
You should have told us the screen resolution of the ds. Which is 256 by 192. The new iPhone has over 900 by 600
i think they made the screens bigger so my grandma can play animal crossing
lol jk jk
when they announced this i asked the game stop dude “are the games gonna play in a higher resolution?”
he said “yes, it has a bigger screen”
i said “how will they increase the resolution of some games, like the 2D ones and the older ones?”
he said “they made the screens bigger”
gawd, gamestop is ignorant
i think the screens are bigger bexause people may have bad xision or maybe it would be sold towrds adults im getting it because i have poor vision when it comes to reading letters
in some of the other nintendo dsi xl reviews they say the screen looks great and it’s not pixelated but some nintendo dsi xl reviews say it’s really pixelated ….. so im wondering if i should get the nintendo dsi xl….. my hands are small , so would the dsi xl be a good choice for me……? thanks….
GH you mentioned, and yes only two people play them, but my big thing with no GBA slot is the fact that I can’t transfer pokemon from fire red/leaf green, and ruby/saphire/emerald to my pearl/diamond/platinum. So I’ll just stick with my lite.
“Like my thing, its shiny on the top.” wow.
I thought the screen quality was an overall improvement.
If the screen resolution was larger, there would have those black bars i.e. widescreen and real low res games would be in a small box which I don’t think anyone would like so they had to stick to the same resolution as the Dsi.
I just got my XL today and I am in love with it. It’s totally worth upgrading from a Dsi because the large screens and totally improved sound takes the DS gaming experience to a whole new level!
just my problem is that this is their forth ds system… and now they have a fifth ds (DS 3d) system coming out sometimes early next year
@PeopleAndCheez Thought of that as well. Ship the games with 2 versions and it will autoplay the correct one. I doubt that is too hard to do….maybe. And how big are those games. 100MB? So not a storage issue.
@PeopleAndCheez Oh..Well they could pull an iPad and have old games runs at low resolutions and DSi XL games run at higher ones….
But yes, you are right.
@PeopleAndCheez It if scaled correctly, maybe not.
“Or unless you’re playing guitar hero: on tour……all two of you” Ahah.
can u do a review only about the resolutions and the pixels? and the video quality? cause im still wondering which one to buy dsi or dsi xl.. can u do that pls?
i still got a messed up Original DS
I’ll just stick with my DSi.:L
Depends – if you still play GBA games, stick to the DS Lite. Otherwise you’ll need to choose between the DSi and the XL. That’s your choice to make! I highly recommend getting a DSi though.
they did it
because it prints money bitch
I will just stick with my Nintendo DS Lite, GBA SP (only for the original pokemon red) and Gameboy color: purple (but sadly i trashed it after getting my GBA SP).
@HOLYCHAOSDRAGON I am not too worried about the GBA functionallity myself. The consoles are cheap enough or there are always emulators etc. I actually brought the Dsi Xl today and I love it. I just thought I would pop the question because I am sure many People would want to actually see that answered,
@Sideweaver, The DSiXL is an option to those who want a larger screen. It has an improved sound and it also has improved battery life in comparison to the regular dsi. Although there is little benefit to going from the dsi to the xl it is not necessary but merely an option.
The dslite and the regular ds are the only ones with gba functionality. You could find a Gba sp or micro for cheap if you want a gba but just like the Dsi, the DSiXL will not be able to play gba games.
nintendo should have brought back a game-boy slot for the dsi xl
oh well
I know.
WOW over 2,000 views thanks everyone.
@NDSiXL That’s the problem. I have the latest updates and there’s never a readme.
@SpyroSan check your manufacturer flashcard for firmwire updates and read the read me file that comes with the nesds emulator.
Where did you download NesDS?
I’ve downloaded it 6 times from different sites for my DSi XL.
Everytime when I start it it will freeze at the rom selection screen, this happened to all versions that I’ve downloaded.
@NDSiXL I did that to so I’m kinda stuck =(
@freddethemanyo Try downloading the file from a different site.
@NDSiXL I don’t think that that is it because i have downloaded it more than once
@freddethemanyo I think you could of got a corrupted file.
nesDs is not working on my xl when I start it up the screen just turns black help plz =(
My best video ever on YouTube 1000+ THANKS EVERYONE!
huh wait now u can play game cube games in the wii ? damn how cool is that…
@rbeoulve ds and dsi games are the same its like saying because i can play gamecube games on wii there wii games its stupid long answer short no there is no diffrence
@NDSiXL lol takes a long time to learn good thing im always bored
wait wait now there are ds games and dsi games ? i mean arent dsi game just ds games. and the console just changed as the only thing that is changed ?
@geekforlifevandc WOW Nice! I’m never any good with programming.
@rbeoulve People usually just play DS games on the DSi XL.
@coonyman10 No but maybe in the future. The wii can play games off SD card.
@NDSiXL is there any way i can do it with an SD card?
lol why would i want to play that game … on a ds xl
@NDSiXL lol i got the thing to work and wrote some emulators my own
You will need a flash card like R4i, M3, DSTTi. Then you will need nesds and some roms. That’s about all
how did you get this
