Mention IPS screen for XL model?

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)[reply]

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

Cpu & Memory revision

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
