Just because a lot of people seem to not know: If you have a 3DS and are playing DS games on it, if you hold start or select while the DS game is booting after being selected from the main menu, you can play it in the original DS resolution, which means you get sharp, clean pixel art at the cost of smaller screens.

that said, the scaling on the 3DS is really not that bad, I'm not sure how they made it look as good as it does

@Felthry I think this also works with the virtual console Gameboy games, IIRC!

@Felthry Just tested with Minish Cap, and yep, it works for at least GBA games too.

@myst oh cool

didn't know there was minish cap on 3ds vc!
