It seems we have a staff infection
Or just don't start it to begin with, which is what I suggested.
>Something happened that caused certain staff members to be demoted >This was such a "unique" topic that certain staff members quit >Due to all this commotion, among other things, certain regular members didn't like it very much and there were outcries >The information posted in the thread was not only a half measure, but a contradiction to the very personalities' that some people love on this site That's the thing, no useful information was given, and since you wanted to respect them and maintain a sense of privacy, an announcement (or at least one like that) shouldn't have been made in the first place. A simple "There are going to be some staff changes, so if anyone wants to join the team apply here" thing could have happened. It conveys the information needed, and doesn't touch on the (apparently) sensitive subject that called for the use of "images"? If these images prove their "bullying", then thats great, but you can't really say "yeah so these two people did bad stuff and were bullies, but I won't prove it due to their privacy needing to remain in tact". Well I mean, you accused them of something without presenting proof, people don't take kindly to that. NOW I am not saying you need to give us proof. No that isn't the case at all, its your site. The end BUT Don't talk about privacy and then hint at this kind of stuff. If anything it paints these people (they are people remember) in a really bad light for no reason whatsoever. Either be private, or give out the info. Being in the middle will leave a bad taste in many peoples' mouths. Also when Misty was head honcho, you couldn't really talk about this stuff at all. Like if drama went down within staff, that **** was hush hush. Threads got locked, posts deleted, all to keep the peace. She picked one side and stuck with it.
Yes, but then it becomes a case of one member's word vs several others in this case. There is no way to prove what happened without at the very least breaking that "privacy" barrier. That's what I meant by half measure, its almost impossible to give members any reasonable amount of real info, all the while still keeping private things private. There was a fairly good reason that stuff like this was never discussed beforehand, because handling it was very difficult for both the staff and the users. You can end up hurting a lot of people this way, which is bad for traffic. I advise against it personally, but hey just my opinion. You do you.
Lol
Was entertaining to watch from the outside. Good job all.
Well, in order for emulation to be done for those games via R4 (or similar technology) you actually need a specialized chip on that "R4" that has a dedicated processor to boost clock speed to run the games in a stable way. It could have something to do with the software environment on the 3DS itself, but oddly enough it isn't as gba/snes friendly as you may think. It can do gb/nes just fine from what I've seen, but there is some issues going past that from what I've heard. I've tried, trust me. I have like 3-4 R4's just for testing (or at least back when I did that kind of stuff).
It's not really about faith. When I say I've dealt with a shit ton of emulators, I mean it. I don't know what other people's experience are with them, but even some crap quality hardware can run emulators for nes, snes, gb, gba without breaking a sweat. The way I see it is they already have the software, its just a matter of porting it and making it work. If people who aren't paid a dime can make emulators run on systems that shouldn't/don't support it, I cannot imagine them failing on the software end. When the hardware is generally not an issue, that leads to this being a fairly solid bet. I'm more than willing to eat my words, but if this was like a PS2 emulator we were talking about, I would join you on the skeptical kool-aid. That isn't the case though.
The way I see it is if they can do smooth emulation on multiple other products (of their own creation), then this should be child's play in terms of stability. I feel like people worry about the "shell" too much. They already know how to do more complex emulation on 3ds/wii u, so I don't see this being an issue. That's just me though.
eyyy mild rant, feel free to not read I don't mind. Well I mean as far as emulation boxes go (and trust me I have experience) they really don't need to do all that much to make it work out. I haven't dealt with unstable emulation since I was in like 6th grade. Granted I haven't done it in years, but for that entire margin of time in between emulation issues when it came to Nintendo stuff especially were few and far between. The things I could imagine people complaining about would be the amount of games that are available "in the box", the price point, and the controller support/quality. Going down the list: You are never going to have an emulation box that is SOLD (legally) that will ever come even close to the value of "underground" emulation. I've seen people compare this new box to the PSP Go. They said things like "hey this is even smaller and can play ALL NES, SNES, GB, GBA games". Okay that's fantastic. It's illegal. Like it or not pirating is involved. Even if you had a way to rip your own games, ripping the BIOS/other files needed is ridiculously difficult and most users never/can't do this. Nintendo offering .01% of their NES library (random number, don't worry about the details) for a reasonable price is nothing to be butthurt about. I swear people just think they deserve things for free "just because". This brings me to the price point. Most of what I have to say is pretty much in the last line or two up there ^ but in all honesty I don't think this price point is all that unfair. Hell some of the games (if not most) are better than some of the shiet I've played on my PS4 and that is the "golden child" console of this generation. As for build quality. I can't say a thing about build quality because I am not part of the team who is making it. I will say this however, by offering that many games for this price they are already going to be at a loss in terms of people's "time being spent". Look at League of Legends, the fact that LoL is an INSANE time sink, makes pretty much every game out there suffer in one way or another. It's not only the most popular game in existence, it is the biggest money maker. Even those who do not spend a dime on that game (since its F2P) are in one way or another, hurting every other game's "potential revenue". Right now Nintendo is in a phase of "their older stuff (except the 3DS) is better in terms of overall approval and perhaps in popularity, so introducing older stuff is going to hurt their new sales in one way or another. You may not be able to see it or track it, but if they give me a way to LEGALLY play old NES games, my Wii U will remain unplugged because playing with a ripoff NES controller beats playing with a "Fisher Price" tablet, or having to buy a controller because "touch screen controllers R the future". I feel like people fundamentally have 0 grasp on how badly legal emulation can hurt a company's numbers. Sure the games don't have much of a cost to them since they are already developed (aside form licensing stuff), but they are in limited numbers. You will eventually own all your favorite classic games, and then have no reason to buy any of their new products. That is where Nintendo is right now. Sure the new Zelda looks cool, and I am looking forward to the new pokemon, but their numbers are total garbage (by comparison), and people seem to only want nostalgia. If this is the nail in the coffin that makes them stop selling new consoles and move onto just making games, I welcome the change. I know it won't be, but still. Legal Nintendo games on my PS5 / Playstation new Portable Vita mk 12 sounds like a fun time. Edit: Side note: why don't people post in regular sections that actually count? I feel like we missed something with this lol
Has to have something to complain about. Lol
Its a novelty LEGAL emulation box that frankly isn't that expensive. Sure there aren't many games on it (compared to other emulation options), but this isn't illegal...soooo I don't see a problem with this.

Decided to bring ghost chili powder to high school one day (this was ages ago), and in the time span of the school day itself. Several people broke down in tears (due to the pain), one guy had to go to the eye doctor because he scratched his eye after touching it, and one girl ended up throwing up and had to go home early. Basically what started off as a game of "hey lets see how long we can last before drinking/eating anything to cool our mouths down" turned into most of my friends leaving school early due to various problems. It was super awkward when the school nurse was like "soooo whats going on". Thank god I didn't get in trouble, but yeah accidentally caused people a lot of pain that day.
TRUTH
The DBE's are pretty nostalgic. Glad we've come full circle.
Cheers, friend.
This both tilts me and impresses me at the same time. Good lord.
