I'm really interested in getting it for SmileBASIC too but I have a choice of getting one or just getting a new tablet to replace my old borked tech. I need something that can connect to airport wifi and help me communicate with people when I'm on the go. I currently use a 2DS but I cannot test the waters since it's too up to date for any exploits (that I've found). Anyway, I didn't want to create yet another freaking forum login for another place, so I'm asking here. :)
Your going to have to make the decision yourself, but I'll tell you that homebrew does not make your 3DS more like a tablet-like device. Both devices can connect to the internet but the 3DS cannot conviently talk to people. You can use the slow 3DS web browser for social media like twitter or something.
If you want to homebrew your own software, Android is a better candidate than unofficial hacked 3DS build tools unless you actually want to use 3DS controls or something. You do what you want though.
@snail_: Yeah agreed, my first device I used for so long was a first gen Droid X and it served me well until I dropped it in the kitchen, doing shots and being le dork, earlier this year. Small screen, but I modded and loved it so well, even after I ditched the motorolala... it was a certain relationship I won't forget. I went that long without butterfingers but now it's got about seven permanent black circles that make it an emergency only device. I love Android things though. I just wish I made enough money to get both the portable gaming tech I desire and the utility portable tech I probably, "need". I might just give some handys in a back ally for a good Android tablet. ;P
Get something you can run Linux on.
Android is Linux
so is OSx
Most Android mobiles use an ARM SOC, so you could install something like Debian; but I doubt you would have anything close to complete driver support.
my 2ds can play nes, snes ,gb,gbc,bga,ds,3ds,and custom games
Why isn't this thread closed?
