I read somewhere that atmosphere devs didn't want to include this option (while it is possible) to avoid any legal actions from big N. With coding knowledge and using atmosphere source code, one can add the feature to his own private usage. This is what I understood, I might be wrong!

TX was using Nintendo code to spoof the cartridge slot having a game inserted into it whenever you selected a game off the HDD. This is why the Atmos devs won't touch it. Homebrew apps today have HDD support but only as an install source.

The bigger reason why Atmosphere won't touch it is due to it being used 99% for piracy and nothing else. Something that SciresM is completely against.

The stolen Nintendo cartridge code is the major piracy part. It's not just about the games (that's a separate piracy). It makes no sense for people to argue "anti-piracy" but then turn around and install games to their SD cards off the HDD, piracy is piracy.

Running games off HDD in SXOX involved stolen cartridge code + stolen games.

Running games off SD in Atmosphere only involves installing stolen "borrowed" games using a third party homebrew app. (In b4 someone tries to argue "I rip my own cartridges so it's not piracy", that's not the topic.)

Oh I wasn't disagreeing fully. I was especially note that atmosphere would never have this due to SciresM's opinions. This is the same reason why Atmosphere doesn't come with any sigpatches.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
