Oh god this guy meme is crossing frontiers now???
DS emulators can be a bit awkward. Not only is there this issue, but unless you’ve got a portrait oriented monitor it’s always gonna be an imperfect fit with the two “screens” stacked on top of each other.
Can’t they just put in a gap?
they do, it’s optional to remove it
If you’ve got a desk arm it’s pretty easy to go portrait and back, which was a great experience oddly. Although, I often just go window mode stacked because Pokemon White and DQ9 are grindy multitasker games.
The bigger issue is the touch screen; that is when the tablet or phone works better and even then… Input lag can ruin your day.
It did often feel like Nintendo specifically went for weird and quirky hardware to hinder emulation. The Wii had motion controls, the Wii U existed, and well, with the Switch, I’m sure their first-party titles still make use of things you can specifically do with the JoyCons…
I feel like that’s just them trying to make their consoles stand out in the market rather than hinder emulation specifically
A welcome side effect, but yeah.
When i was playing phantom hourglass way back when, i had also been into emulation before that, and i kept thinking how much fun the touchscreen was to use and how i had no idea how it would ever be emulated.
I guess now that smartphones are widespread hopefully it is easier to emulate ds touchscreens
There was a Haruhi Suzumiya game? That’s gotta be completely chaotic
I just play on my phone and put the controls in a gap between the screens
Why does the emulator chop his legs off?
