Hardware NINTENDO 3DS Specifications...

[qlum]

add full backwards compatibility with ds and dsi, two cameras and appstore to the confirmed list

What do you mean by updating?
i mean "is being looked at". it is more factual than rumoured, but isnt confirmed and will change...

QUOTE(spinal_cord @ May 20 2010, 08:44 PM) I would order the list in order of confirmation status. Have all of the confirmed facts first, followed by updating, then rumour.

Also, just curious, why does G = Confirmed ?

G was green and R was red, so R was red (rumour), but G was green(confirmed)
;0
am gradually introducing sources as they pass by...

This is an excellent and concise list. Please continue to keep us updated. Thank you.

nice, but tegra isnt a CPU its a chipset containing various hardware components (RAM, CPU, GPU etc.) besides that this should be a sticky

ok. fixed!

EXISTENCE OF ARM CHIP WITH SECURE APP TECH -TRUSTZONE, FOUND IN THE IPHONE AS WELL, THAT BLOCKS UNSECURE APPS. THIS COULD MEAN AN END TO HOMEBREW AND FLASHCARTS, SO IT COULD TAKE A WHILE TO HACK. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS TECHNOLOGY

Pros: Good, means secure HTTPS and transactions
Cons: Means longer to hack for flashcarts, will be easier to brick your DS

600 HUNDRED MILLION HERTZ? Good lord! That's a bit more power than the gamecube had. That's a large jump from 63.5 (or so) MHZ for the DS (lite) . . .

 

[zeromac]

And how do you possibly know these specs?

I'm curious as to how you know the wifi specifications

 

[Nollog]

Most likely it'll use an arm cortex.
[Binary compatibility with Classic ARM9™ (DS used it) embedded processors]

A tegra 2 would be nice, but very un-nintendo.

 

[zop2291]

i guess this will get better i think.hope this does not get abandon

 

[tk_saturn]

People should just wait 3 weeks, and then the 3DS will be unveiled. Everything else apart from the obvious and the devboard pics is conjecture.

We have no confirmation about two cameras and app store. Where did you even get the idea for an App Store, we have DSi Ware and the rumored 3DSWare (trademarks)

That is LITERALLY impossible at this moment in existence. 600GHz (not counting the extra hundred you threw on there) is out of our reach for another 10 years or so, and it will be used on spacecraft only at that point.

I wouldn't bet on it. The Space Shuttle still uses 8086 CPU's ie those that came before the 186, 286 etc.

stop acting like a moron, you clearly know what he's trying to say

 

[GH0ST]

I wonder if it will be HDMI compliant

 

[tk_saturn]

Can't see why it would, not for gaming.

yeah it's still a handheld don't expect too much from it

It's why the thread should probably be locked, as it going go absolutely nowhere.

As soon as the actual specs are known, one of the mag staff will do a post about it on the homepage.

If we close this one another will appears shortly ;-)
