back on topic:
the DS games with bad loading times can be counted on 1 hand.
so far the worst i've seen is "time ace" which has loading times between 15 and 30 seconds.

This game called ThreadCreator is really bad, takes loading time to the next level. Gotta translate it and then fix grammar issues and change it up to mimic an actual language. It takes quite awhile to load and I find it super annoying.

i don't mind a slightly long startup time but load and reload times can be annoying.

There are some game with a bit longer loading times like the already mentioned Assassin's Creed or some games like NFS, Race Driver but none can be compared to the likes of PSP or other optical media based consoles.

What I myself do hate though are long download play downloads

, on some games it's just terrible but usually it's just a bad design. In Bleach 2nd that takes quite a long to download you need to redownload quite a lot of data after every character change and for instance Rafa Nadal Tennis lets you play just one match and then you need to redownload.

You have not experienced loading time until you play crysis on a 'normal' computer haha

But seriously the DS has almost no waiting time for 90% of the games out there..

which NFS?
there are 3 NFS games for the DS, underground2, carbon, and prostreet.
underground 2 is my favorite and has no loading times.

You people are funny. You should have been around when the Atari 400 was at its' peak.. Waiting for about 10-20 minutes for Bounty Bob Strikes Back to load on Cassette. Or maybe playing Might & Magic 3 or Beaneath a Steel Sky on Floppy on the Amiga.

Remember, patience is a virtue.

I think the onlything I've had to wait for is Game saves. But even then, playing it on a flash cart is even faster than the original game when it comes to time to save. Other than a few seconds between travelling from a dungeon to town in Dungeon Explorer I don't think I've encounter any Loading Screens in any of the games I've played. I know you see the four koma square in JUS every now and again but other than the four seconds before a fight is loaded its usually just saving.

Nope, not sure what you mean by loading times on the DS, never had a problem. Longest loading screens I remember were in Crash Bandicoot: Wrath Of Cortex (PS2) and Battlefield: Modern Warfare (PC) when you try and connect to an online map.

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And I also have my ps3
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
