Yeah you can't do that Snipper.Get an account at Photobucket.What I do now is I open two windows one of my photobucket account and the other for the picture.I right click on the image then go to copy image location then I click that.I use Firefox so it might be different on other Browsers.Then I open up the window with my photobucket account then I go to the appropriate folder then I paste the URL into where it says use URL for upload or something like that.You can upload 3 at a time. Then I click upload.The upload will go quicker if you have the highest Flash on your CPU or laptop. The Flash is up to 10 now.9 should be fine.

You got here recently so we don't want you banned for something like this.
If you have anymore questions send me a PM.

Ok, sorry about that, I am new at the whole forum thing, and I thought as long as you gave credit it was ok, I'll stop.

Well guys big news DSi supports SDHD
This is a Japanese manual scan

FSE = Face Sensing Engine Click here if your interested to read about this tech
and some interesting things found on neogaf

Quote from: Stumpokapow from neogaf.com

Anyway, as you'll note the right-hand side of the booklet has an SDHC logo. So the DSi does SDHC. The copyright text notes that Nintendo has licenced WPA code ("WPA supplicant" hands key authentication for WPA purposes), so it's virtually guaranteed the DSi does WPA. No other particularly interesting outside tech licenced. Unfortunately the Opera licence note does not note any plugins like Flash being used by Opera, so it's not likely we'll know anything about that until release.

In addition, the AC Adapter is not the DS Lite's AC Adapter, or at least it doesn't appear to be. My AC Adapter for the the DSL is model number USG-002 and says "US/Japan", the DSi's AC Adapter is model WAP-002.

Wifi seems to be the same connection strength (although I don't know the DSL's dBm numbers offhand, the "suggested usage range" is the same). Does not do 802.11-draft n. 802.11b and 802.11g only.

The codename for the DSi was probably "Twilight" (model numbers are chosen based on codenames, DSi model number is TWL-001).

Unit weight: 214g
Unit size: 74.9mm x 137mm x 18.9mm (how does this compare to the DS Lite)?
Battery life (brightest to least bright): 3-4, 4-6, 6-9, 8-12, 9-14.

Screen resolutions confirmed to be the exact same (256x192), only 3.25". We already knew this, but it hammers out any possibility of people misunderstanding and assuming some software will use a higher resolution.

The Face Sensing Engine is interesting.

Kairon · « **Reply #104 on:** October 31, 2008, 05:30:11 AM »

omg Face tracking is awesome.... maybe now we'll get something like that face training game stateside?

With the DSi being SDHD compatible, I hope the Wii's storage solution also unlocks SDHD compatible cards because the Wii's SD card slot IS SDHD COMPLIANT, just Nintendo needs to unlock it hell we know that homebrew developers did unlock that functionality.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #106 on:** October 31, 2008, 03:04:41 PM »

WPA support is a pretty big deal. I haven't taken my DS online in a long time because of the hassle of either changing my router's security settings temporarily or using that overheating dongle. It was understandable why Nintendo left it out before, but costs must have dropped significantly since then. If this is true, it moves the chances of me buying a DSi up a notch.

Some one took apart a DSi
DSi review
DSi shop channel
DSi launch
DSi launch 2
Pictures and applications of DSi

Well it looks like the stores in Japan were using Preorders for the DSi. That would explain why there wasn't alot of lines last night.

Who plans on getting a DSi?

My DS has a bum L button and the touch panel has a lot of wear, mostly from The World Ends With You. Therefore, I'll definitely be picking one up down the road.

jakeOSX · « **Reply #110 on:** December 11, 2008, 07:12:51 AM »

i plan on getting one, but may get a lite in the intermediate since i still have my mario kart ds phat (red WITH racing stickers)

and yeah, TWEWY does add some wear to the screen...

TheFleece · « **Reply #111 on:** December 11, 2008, 07:31:40 AM »

I bought a new Silver DS Lite in September so depending on when the DSi drops will determine if I pick it up immediately or just wait for my Lite to die out- I find they take about a year. However if there are really cool games to download or some hidden detail I've overlooked about the system then I most likely get it immediately.

DSiware was launched yesterday in Japan.Below are some impressions and videos of the games.

I don't know if I should wait for this to come out or get a DS Lite right away. I want to play FF 1 and 2 and since the DSi doesn't have a GBA port I was kind of bummed about it. I know it has a TON of new features but I feel like playing some old GBA RPG games(and some DS RPGs too

). Also I'm kind of cheap so I don't know if I should hold for a DS Lite pricedrop...if that ever comes out that is.

Rumor by ign:

January 13, 2009 - Multiple sources close to Nintendo tell IGN that the company is gearing up to debut the anticipated successor to its DS Lite handheld during the first half of this year in America. More specifically, the company has allegedly relayed to its partners that DSi will ship stateside in early April, most likely on April 4. Insiders assert that they have been told the system will retail for $179.99 when it launches domestically.

Nintendo's DSi handheld looks similar to its predecessor, but boasts a built-in camera, an SD Card slot, internal memory, an improved user interface and access to DSiWare, an ever-expanding list of downloadable DSi games and content available over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

DSi released in Japan last November and presently retails in the homeland for 18,900 yen ($211 USD). More than a million gamers purchased the system through December 2008, according to overseas data tracking services. DS Lite, meanwhile, sells in Japan for 16,800 yen ($188), a cost difference of almost $25. If our sources are to be trusted, the price divide between the two systems in America would be much wider, as DS Lite currently retails for $129.99 stateside, approximately $50 cheaper than DSi's alleged U.S. price point.

In contrast to the Japanese market, where penetration of DS Lite has peaked, Nintendo of America may be planning to market DSi alongside the still-popular DS Lite, which would at least explain the different price points: one version for casuals and another for the core.

Nintendo of America said last October that it did not feel it necessary to release DSi in 2008 because its predecessor continued to sell at a phenomenal rate. Last year, NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime was also quoted as promising that DSi would not debut in America until sometime after the first quarter.

When contacted for comment, a Nintendo representative told us that the company does not comment on rumors and speculation. Although IGN verified today's story through three independent sources, we have filed the information as rumor until Nintendo makes an official announcement.

I don't see why it couldn't happen that way, most interesting to me is the price. I was wondering if it would stay closer to the 200 mark, but 179 leaves me wary. I am wondering about how Nintendo will price the DSi in the states with the cost of the Wii so cheap could they really pull off having two systems for the same price? Would you pay a price higher than the Wii for a portable? Personally I wouldn't, but as hardware gets smaller the prices can go up. Anyway, rumor aside- I think it could happen like that, but maybe not so soon.

TofuFury · « **Reply #116 on:** February 21, 2009, 02:51:49 AM »

I don't know if this is the appropriate place for it, but what does everyone think of the DSiware that's out?

This is a preview for Art Style Nalaku, which looks a lot like a variation of Intelligent Cube for the Playstation. I never bought it, but I wish I did. I played the heck out of the demo I had for it. This game looks just as addicting.

Since there isn't a topic about DSiware. This place is fine North Sea.
It looks interesting. I haven't gotten any art style games.

New colors in Japan will be Pink, Lime Green, Metallic Blue

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #119 on:** February 25, 2009, 11:58:44 AM »

are they calling that lime green? what the hell?

decoyman · « **Reply #120 on:** February 25, 2009, 02:43:21 PM »

Well, they could've called it what it really is: Chartreuse.

But Lime Green is probably good enough.

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #121 on:** February 25, 2009, 03:45:56 PM »

oh damn, must of been on the computer I was on earlier. It looked soooooooo yellow. Now it looks much more green.

Ghisy · « **Reply #122 on:** February 25, 2009, 04:24:39 PM »

I hate you Japan: I want the Metallic Blue DSi!!!
Stupid region coding & firmware only in Japanese

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #123 on:** February 25, 2009, 06:03:16 PM »

So if you have a DSi from America you won't be able to download DSi Ware games from other regions? If that is the case that sucks...because I was thinking about getting a DSi, and I am going to Korea.

Mop it up · « **Reply #124 on:** February 26, 2009, 02:08:45 AM »

Oh come on, that isn't pink! That's bright red!

<--- That's pink! Get it right Nintendo!
