Talk:Nintendo DSi

Should me mention the DSi XL has an IPS screen in it? Because everyone says ALL DSi XLs have an IPS screen unlike NEW 3DS XL. So should we mention it? NakhlaMan (talk) 06:15, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Please provide a reliable source like the ones provided in the article. « Ryūkotsusei » 13:15, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Add Discontinuation date for Nintendo DSi! 178.214.245.24 (talk) 08:07, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

My answer is the same as posted on Talk:Nintendo DS#Add Discontinuation date. « Ryūkotsusei » 13:32, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

While not a lot of games took advantage of the extra power of the DSI, it does have double the power and memory of the original DS which I thought would need mentioning in the infobox? Dylanguk (talk) 05:09, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. I readded it, but only what the current article source states. You'll have to find a source for ARM946E and ARM7TDMI « Ryūkotsusei » 00:50, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Knowing how Nintendo tends to re-use the exact same hardware in order to achieve 100% backwards compatibility is not a crazy idea to think they used ARM946E and ARM7TDMI cores in the DSi. In fact they used those exact same cores in the 3DS to guarantee DS and DSi compatibility.

"An ARM946E-S from the Nintendo DS days. It’s treated as a secret co-processor and it’s only managed by the operating system. Alternatively, it becomes the main processor whenever a DS or DSi game is executed."

"An ARM7TDMI from the Game Boy Advance days. It’s a relatively ignored CPU, unless a DS or DSi game is being played"

Who is "Rodrigo Copetti"? This source must be vetted before adding to the article - it is a self-published source. Since I have seen this source mentioned in a few articles, I have brought it up for further discussion. However, it seems like this information is too trivial to be adequately sourced. « Ryūkotsusei » 22:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the effort and consideration. Now I understand your concerns about the source and the relevance of the information. Cheers. Nerd478 (talk) 08:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

The Nintendo DSi is a dual-screen handheld game console released by Nintendo. It is the third iteration of the Nintendo DS, and its primary market rival is Sony's PlayStation Portable. Development of the DSi began in late 2006, and the handheld was first unveiled during a 2008 Nintendo conference in Tokyo. While the DSi's design is similar to that of the DS Lite, it features two digital cameras and also connects to an online store called the Nintendo DSi Shop. The DSi is approximately 12 percent shorter than the DS Lite when closed, but it is slightly wider and lighter. The DSi also has a larger RAM and a faster CPU. All DS games are compatible with the DSi, except those that require the Game Boy Advance slot. Because of its absence, the DSi is not backward-compatible with GBA Game Paks or with accessories that require the GBA slot, such as the DS Rumble Pak and the Guitar Hero: On Tour series guitar grip. The Nintendo DSi received generally positive reviews. Critics praised many of the console's changes to the DS Lite's aesthetics and functionality, but complained that it launched with insufficient exclusive software. A larger version of the DSi, the Nintendo DSi XL, was released in 2009. This photograph, taken by the American photographer and Wikipedian Evan Amos, shows an open Nintendo DSi in black.
