Yeah someone else had a go too, better pics than mine, nice job Dan, i do have a few on the 3DS camera but i only spent about 3 mins, got an image, thought yeah maybe with some fiddling it could be better but strangely i had something else to do.
I would have posted earlier but i couldn’t log into the site on explorer on my laptop and couldn’t spend the 10mins to download opera, again, I had something else to occupy myself with.
But it works……………………………. to a degree.
Loving the 3DS, yeah PWings could have done with some more locations, but it is what it is, and I know i will waste lots of time trying to get each mission a perfect score. Picked up Ridgeracer too, again nothing surprising, its ridgeracer, but fun & with 3D.
Most fun? prob with face raiders using my cats face pulling stupid expressions flying round the room, daft Nintendo fun.
Not great, but not that surprising, the ability to turn off 3D is on it, unlike our VB, so Nintendo won’t sideline anyone from playing 3DS games that can’t do the 3D.
@Vaughanabe13: which VB games started to utilized the 3rd dimension, not 100% sure what you mean, (I’m not ragging on you, don’t want to start another bout of banter, just interested so i can fire them up on my flashboy and check it out more, I’ve not played all the VB games in great detail, only a few, but have sampled them all)
I am kind of with jumpman here in that i can’t think of a VB title which although wouldn’t be as pleasurable to play in 2D, having them in 2D wouldn’t make the game unplayable.

Ok, assuming that is actually possible and will work, what exactly will you get out of this “stack of time” spent? Seems like a waste to me but I honestly don’t care what other people do with their time. Think on.
You didn’t get that I meant it was you who has spent the time thinking & posting how it won’t work (over and over again), I am quite happy to waste my time on whatever I want, I don’t give a monkeys if it works or not (and I will let you know either way), I just thought it would be a strange, mildly interesting thing to try, ‘a joining of Nintendos 3D consoles’. I never said I wanted anything from this, just a bit of amusement.
Go on you know you want to spend another 35 seconds of your life thinking and replying to this pointless post. 😀
For a pointless exercise that WON’T work (without trying how can you be so definite and know the out come), someone has spent a stack of time thinking and posting, your input is greatly appreciated, keep up the good work.

Alright, post back when it doesn’t work. I’ve been reading all the preliminary reviews of the 3DS and they all say the 3D camera feature is garbage. You do realize there is no 3D video yet, right? I can’t think of any way this idea would be useful other than a single still image of a VB screen, which would be pretty uneventful for the amount of work it would take to get it to work.
I did start the thread with ‘this is a pointless exercise’ you seem to be a little riled by the idea, its just for fun, kind of like a game, chill. If i want to play VB in 3D, I’ll use the head unit, and yes I’m aware there is no video, again i never mentioned making a movie or even taking a picture, i just posted a daft idea, but I’ll be sure to never do that again, slaps wrists for trying to enjoy life.
All speculation for now, I’ll be giving it a go just to see if something can be seen, all points mentioned seem relevant, I think an image of some sort will be generated but how clear etc is another matter, I’ll know in a few days, it was only ever a fleeting thought i had on a hazy evening last week. 😀

I’m really underwhelmed by the launch games. I think they need to have a really strong start with good first party games and so far there doesn’t seem to be anything particularly amazing that will be a must-have title. I guess you could argue Pilot Wings but I really don’t have any nostalgic connection to that game like some people do.
Yeah def not the most inspiring collection for launch.
was looking even worse for me until Pilotwings was announced as launch for US & UK. I do have very fond memories of borrowing those 2 on the snes & n64, i can’t have had the cash at the time to buy them, else i would still own them, but top games.
The flight bits in Wii sport resort reminded me of them so once Pilotwings was announced i knew how it would look and behave, but its still not a must have nintendo franchise launch game, but then they did say they wanted third party Co’s to take on the launch, pity, cos we all know Nintendo games show the rest how to use their hardware, then they all struggle to keep up.
Yep I’m with VBSAM there, black for me.
I have not tried one out, and not that worried to either, although I’m sure if the demo unit that was advertised out front of a shop in town last week did actually exist, i would most likely have given it a go, but it wasn’t there. I know it will be great, just how great I’ll know in a little over a week, I’ve made myself not check out the vids etc on all the features, I kinda know what it all does but I want the surprises and Nintendo grins for me on day one.
Howdy LK,
Welcome, you picked the best VB site already.
Like your tale and great you made the plunge, it is a very fun system.
Enjoy the scene just take your time and check it all out, even the basic demos are fun to view with a flashboy.
Gone a bit offtopic there but got cats in so had to reply.
If those are your cats then you very lucky, we have a Ginger boy just like that, but cooler, IMO, he doesn’t own a pirate costume though.
@akumie
If it interests you, you could always check gender in the profiles, you might find an answer.
Think the unit came from ebay, was a gift so not 100% sure, then I bought from amazon, cos i had a voucher and wanted red alarm, got some from ebay and then a couple recently from this sites market place.

Akumie whining about homebrewers not finishing their projects? Oh, right… the same thing as all his other posts.
Rather than whining about it, how about you pick up a book on programming, or read some tutorials… or even just get the compiler set up on your computer and start changing existing code until you get an idea of what it’s doing. Oh yeah… because it’s too hard.
DogP
Good point DogP, well made.
Akumie bashing ahead: you can’t say ‘I don’t see the problem’ of course you don’t you have no idea what is involved.
Try it Akumie, and when you make a single dot move as you press controller buttons, or even just an image of your own appear on screen, then you have a small bit of justification in saying ‘I don’t see the problem’, but in the 5 mins it took you to do that you will have mastered the art of programming and have us a fully working game to blow the likes of Bound High away, cos its really easy and everyone is just lazy and not dedicated, I’ll be here waiting to play your game buddy, still waiting, still here, going now.
My ace wife bought mine for my ‘cough’ 40th in 2008.
Wanted one from 1995 when first heard of it but being in europe never got released so i never even saw one til about 5 years back. That was in a local shop but they never got it working so i never bought it, always wanted to play one though so was real pleased to get a boxed almost perfect condition JPN one, not looked back, love it.
I still never got to log in with opera 11, just couldn’t get to put anything into the password field, i did all the pressing tab several times etc but nothing, so i removed it and went back to v9, which does the job, but it does need a few tab presses to get to the password field.
Only 2 Mario games released, and each totally differant from the other, not an easy choice.
Tennis is a good little game, and seems to have been a good wedge of peoples first VB experience, but then Clash is like you say the classic battle, but with odd button configuration & that makes it annoying, unless you load up the patched version from DogP.
My choice, actually at the moment its Clash.
How i wish that initial Mario demo made it to a fully fledged game, that would have been sweet.

Heh, a friend at work told me about this today as well… that’s pretty funny that they paid $80 for a broken VB :-P. It definitely has at least one bad display from watching the video. Of course it all depends how much you believe “reality” shows.
DogP
Y’mean, no you can’t be right, tv wouldn’t lie to us, would it? Surly its ‘as honest as a governement’, I think you will find thats a very common saying, especially here in the UK. 😀
Great to see this. The picture almost looks like its gonna say 2P link up, but you can’t see any link cable, they just teased us having 2 chaps sitting at the same table.
Anyone found any 2P code in panic bomber source?
