Man it has been a long time since I posted in these forums.

The first thing is that you can in fact use your SP headphone adapter to listen to game with your headphone. Furthermore you can still use the regular headphone jack at the same time. The only game I can see using this at all though is Band Brothers, were you could use one jack for your own headphones and the other jack to hook up a small pair of speakers so that everyone else can hear your mad music skillz...or maybe not.

The second thing is that I was checking out the model numbers for all the hardware just to see what they were. The interesting thing about this is that two numbers are skipped.

ntr-001: The DS
ntr-002: the ac adapter
ntr-003: the battery
ntr-004: the stylus
ntr-005: game card
ntr-006: game case
ntr-007:

ntr-008:

ntr-009: the wrist strap /thumb pad

hmmm... I wonder what seven and eight are. I'm guessing that one of them is the pair of headphones included with the aformentioned Band Brothers, and the other is a headset with microphone, but I could be wrong. Maybe they are some yet unmentioned assecorries, who knows?

well I just thought somepeople around here would like to know these things.

Hmmm...I wonder if those model numbers have anything to do with the mysterious hole on the side of the DS that Nintendo haven't told us anything about. Or do we know what it's for now that its been released?

Quite a few of the numbers get skipped on all the systems. In fact, the different AC Adaptors for Japan, US and Europe all tend to be given different serial codes, due to the different levels of power conversion.

Of course, it might just be a couple of things that we haven't thought about, like replacement battery covers, or things like that. Or indeed, it could be headphones, or some other peripheral designed for use with specific games.

What mysterious hole?

nocturnal YL: I took a look at my past Switch games and found that more than 40% of the games I played contain some kind of fishing. Oct 21, 2024 11:36:02 GMT -5 *

nocturnal YL: A bit late, but I started Aiyoku no Eustia. I have nothing to say about the story yet because the demo lasted 6 hours and I haven't got past that. There's no save data transfer feature, fast-forwarding takes a while, and I stopped to read at some points. Nov 3, 2024 6:47:31 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It has the best file management feature I've seen. 60 normal save slots, 6 autosaves, and 12 more slots automatically saved at decision points. And the save data can be moved, deleted and given comments. It's the most flexible I've seen on console. Nov 3, 2024 6:50:03 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I think I've gotten a better handle on the combat in Ys X, but I still don't think it feels quite as good as in Ys VIII and IX. Nov 9, 2024 15:18:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Interesting; that's the opposite of what I think. Which part are you in now, by the way? Nov 10, 2024 5:44:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I'm just at the beginning of chapter 7. I've seen very divided opinions on the combat among Ys fans. I don't dislike it, but maybe I'm just used to Ys games having faster combat. Nov 10, 2024 8:38:57 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia is quite something. I thought I've somewhat hardened myself having gone through dark stories like Fire Emblem (Jugdral, Hoshido/Nohr, Fódlan) and Surge Concerto, but I'm still stunned. (Still doesn't beat real life, though.) Nov 10, 2024 15:17:23 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia has branched endings, and I've reached two. I'm surprised to see three familiar names in the credits: Ceui (OP vocal in Atelier Lydie & Suelle), Yoshino Nanjo (voice of Kiria in TMS♯FE), Yuu Asakawa (Megurine Luka's voice provider). Nov 14, 2024 14:42:30 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It'll be quite a while until I'm done with this game. Each individual arc takes at least 6 hours, and there are extra stories. I recall reading somewhere that this game takes 60 hours to finish. Nov 14, 2024 15:02:04 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Quick update: I'm starting chapter 9 in Ys X. Overall, I've been enjoying the game quite a bit. Nov 15, 2024 9:12:40 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Ah, almost there! Nov 15, 2024 9:33:20 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I will go offline for a few days. My family is travelling to South Korea. I should be back around next Friday (22 Nov). Nov 16, 2024 4:32:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I haven't been to Korea for more than two decades, so I look forward to it. Nov 16, 2024 4:36:43 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Have a nice trip! Nov 16, 2024 8:41:09 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Just finished Ys X. I'll write up my thoughts when I get a chance. Nov 21, 2024 15:49:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Looking back over my previous Ys rankings, it's funny how most of the numbered entries are ranked in descending order: VI > Seven > VIII > IX. So, does Ys X buck the trend?? 🤔 Nov 21, 2024 15:55:24 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Looking forward to your thoughts! Nov 22, 2024 8:33:42 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I'm back home! It's been a pretty fun trip. Being able to see falling leaves on a mountain path full of trees in person made the trip worth taking. Nov 22, 2024 8:34:56 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Welcome back! Nov 22, 2024 9:11:24 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: At the final part of Aiyoku no Eustia. It'll probably still take me a good while as there are some extras to go through. The story is supposed to be dark and dissatisfying; I wonder if I'll dislike it like with the story of Void Terrarium 2? Nov 27, 2024 14:42:59 GMT -5
