We Are Now Getting 3D For Home Brew Games

By Judy Finlayson


One of the most popular gaming devices available on the market these days is the Nintendo DS and improvements have seen us with the DSi and now the 3DS with its innovative technology. Home brew games are now becoming more and more popular because of their ability to take advantage of the 3D technology.

People using DS consoles have been using Kernels which will bypass the security that Nintendo have placed in the systems; this is something that has been done for years now. With an alternative Kernel, the user is able to play media files such as movies from an SDHC or SD card and now these Kernels are working with the 3DS.

Although Nintendo are surely upset about the fact that people are bypassing their security measures, they must be slightly appeased by the fact that these Kernels are giving their handheld units a wider appeal.

Of course there are a number of people out there whose sole intention is to use the Kernels to allow the playing of pirated games which ultimately damages the industry.

Overall though the introduction of new features enhances Nintendo's appeal and because developers are able to code home brew games then it ensures that there will continue to be a growing need for the 3DS as more and more software is written. It might even be the case that Nintendo are allowing their devices to be coded because surely there must be a way to prevent users using these alternative Kernels.

We may soon see the Nintendo 3DS becoming the most popular handheld device on the market with its stable mates being put firmly in the shade; we can be sure that it will go down in history anyway. Because Nintendo have invested so much in the DS and have added so many new features, we can be sure that they will play a major role in the 3D market for quite some time to come.
