I visited my old Animal Crossing: Wild World Village
Переглядів 292День тому
Animal Crossing: Wild World truly is a great DS game and Animal Crossing Experience. While the game play is so much simpler than New Horizons it is still an enjoyable experience and the music can not be beat.

how cute!
it is lol
those are some nice colors on the bag, might be cool as a wallet alternative too ha
For real it works for that too
So I don’t have to cut plastic parts on the back like they do in other tutorials to make it fit?
so after the video i did end up cutting it because it does stick out a little.
@@theretrouniversedamn I’m kinda scared to mess up
@ nah you’ll be fine the part that gets removed isn’t crucial
Nice demo, and I have all of them and trying to adapt to Japanese model psp’s which I modded to sell but enjoy the vita and sorta made me let my steamdeck and oculus quest2 gather dust but forgot to play my Nintendo 3ds since I bought it last year 😂 damn it, I’m too old for new crap😅
there is just something about the smaller portables that is great. They are actually portable
If you have a PS3 Backwards Compatibility and a PS5 that’s all you need
2000 bro 1000000%
Yes it is! The design of the Divoom Ditoo Pro is like a mini computer, meaning it's perfect for your desk setup! And you can even display animations too! As a Divoom user, take it from me.
It’s definitely a unique addition to a desktop setup. The animations are really cool!
Does nothing, i’ve purchased a album on amazon music attempting this and its not working at all.
So you download it does it appear in Apple Music at least?
@ yes it does, multiple things happened on my end too much to describe but i’ll do my best. Bought a brand new ipod classic, i plugged it in and it appeared in my apple music. I bought 5 songs from an album on amazon music and downloaded it to my pc as a mp3 file. I then use the sync settings on finder since i have a 2022 macbook air. Once i clicked on the music tab and selected the album i wanted synced it says an error code about it not recognizing the file(pretty much saying that it isn’t compatible and its non existent) unfortunately I downloaded some apple music directly to my macbook and then tried to sync(trying to save some money) and now those songs are saved to the music tab on my finder. I deleted those downloaded files so i can see exactly the songs i actually purchased vs the ones i downloaded from apple music but its all saved still and idk which will now be the right files when it finally works eventually. Im thinking of just fixing my old 2013 macbook thats been sitting for years and just hooking it up. Im sure i still have the old itunes app on there and might just get my music the old school ways??
Adding on..the point im trying to make is, i cant sync my amazon music having being downloaded as mp3 file(just like the old days) and i have saved things that i can’t get rid of. Whats my options? I saw a video on some guy literally dragging apple music on the music app directly into the ipod tab on the music app lol
@@shanevalfre9936 In Apple Music App do you have an option to set Manage Music Manually? The way you could in iTunes? Also try saving the MP3 files you download into a new folder on your PC and when you see the iPod in Apple Music App. Just drag the audio files from the Finder window where the MP3 files are directly to the iPod section of the Music App. See if that works.
@@theretrouniverse ya not working it keep saying for the songs i did purchase that a song not even on that album is not found. thats because i downloaded my apple music into files and its rejecting it, but again i already deleted those specfic files that i downloaded, i still have the ones i purchased only. yet on the finder in music tab it still shows artist and albums i already deleted. it techincally should show only one artist and one album ready to be synced.
so i watched this video, not owning either.. then instantly went to ebay and copped both 🤣
Heck yeah!! Hope the video helped!!
I might play ps3 again for the classic gamess that aren’t on modern consoles like black ops 1 and 2
Mine still works! I was literally playing on it while watching this!
Awesome!!
How much for ps 3 and 4
As in how much did I pay for them? I bought the PS3 when it came out and it was like 400 I think. Right now you can find one for about 150
My favorite DS is the DSi XL I have the dark blue version and that the only DS I have.
That’s a good one to have!
@ Im thinking of modding it
@Perry975 I did that with mine and it's great for it! You can also add Game Boy games to it that way.
My favorite Animal Crossing game. I didn’t have a lot of friends as a kid and this game made me feel like I did. The opening theme here still gives me so many strong emotions.
Yes!! I agree. The music is so good in this one. Whenever I start up New Horizons...I'm like..but I know a better intro than this
@ Sadly this is how I felt about all of New Horizons 😔 I had fun with it for a few months though. I hope that they add back the features we had in all the previous games in the next AC :)
@@Seto1997 It's the one animal crossing that doesn't feel like they put any heart into it and instead did things they thought everyone wanted. It's one of the best selling AC games but I say COVID had more to do with that than anything else. The dialogue is also so repetitive that after 2 years of playing it I had to put it aside because I was so over the same thing.
@@theretrouniverse Always seems like the newest and worst game in most of our childhood franchises is now the best selling one in the series. There are a lot of reasons for that but it still sucks
This, Urbz, and Sims 2 on GBA were a huge part of my childhood. They are all great.
That's awesome! Hope this brought back some good memories!
Do you have any tips for when the iPod shows up on apple music, but when I click it just keeps loading until it says it can’t connect?
If it has never worked I would recommend downloading iTunes if you can and doing a factory reset on the iPod. I personally haven't used Apple Music On Windows yet so I can't speak to how to use it.
@@theretrouniverse I've downloaded iTunes as well. Weirdly it works fine besides the fact the iPod never pops up on it.
FFXIII was my first final fantasy game that i beat and i actually liked it. Once i have access to the gaming community's opinion through the internet, it lowkey ruined my experience. Idk i feel like fandoms ruined a lot of games that i enjoyed because of bandwagons.
Oh I totally agree. The gaming community can be rough and very harsh on some of our favorite games. I remember how much hate Forsaken on PS5 got and it usually came from people that never planned on playing it either. Did you play XIII-2 and 3 as well?
is their a headphone jack?
Yyup, the PSone LCD screen does have a headphone jack; you can find it on the back of the unit
I mention it at 3:31
@@theretrouniverse thank you
FFXIII felt really monotonous. I remember playing 10+ hours and didn't feel like finishing the story mode. Yes a lot of people are probably nostalgic for the game now that it has been 15 years since launch, but I have no warm feelings towards FFXIII or the cast of characters. I don't think linearity is a big problem with the game considering FFX is my favorite in the series and that game was also quite linear. It's probably the lack of proper world building and the characters not clicking with me.
Yeah and the whole story and words they used for what people were I remember was super confusing. The falcie and what not. At least FFX had proper towns to walk around in
@@theretrouniverse I've been thinking of giving the sequels a try (when I have the time cause right now I'm clearing my backlog). They might be better for me or not, you never know. I think FFX worked so well cause it took time to explain you what everything is. Also it used regular words like summoner, the sending or sin. It's really straightforwards and let's you focus on the plot.
How do you add playlists to the ipod
Playlists from where?
@@theretrouniverse The music app predownloaded on mac
@@bobbygagas you can’t add any music you do not own or have not purchased to an iPod
Uninstalling iTunes, iTunes helper and iCloud and no joint also Helped
Yes!!
I just modded my psvita, if I want to add music to adrenaline, Is it the same way you add to psp? Someone help me!
I don't have mine modded soooo I don't know sorry
You have to use apple music I believe when it comes to windows
iTunes still works for the most part. I know some people don't have luck with it but that's why the video was put out just for help with troubleshooting.
I prefer to use dfu mode and the “apple devices app” from Microsoft store instead of iTunes
I have a lot of tapes because until recently my car had a factory cassette player. The car I have now has a CD player so I've gotten into collecting CDs lately. I listen to music on the radio 90% of the time because the local independent radio station exposes me to new artists that you can't always find on streaming platforms or physical media.
That’s a great way to discover new artists! I'm such an oldie that I have trouble really enjoying new music. I always go back to what I have enjoyed in the past lol
I loved Brothers in arms it was so much fun
I really like the ds lite and og 3ds. I really like the fact they are both small because I like smaller systems. They are both great 👍
Ah, soddering is why I didn't do this as a kid. Thought it'd be easier.
Even now I have trouble but I blame that on my shaky hands lol
I have a PSP Go in the mail now. I'm going to make it a dedicated movie device. Which would be impossible to say in 2025 without cfw.
That’s so cool it’s a great that people are using one now and days :)
iTunes is difficult to use for some reason. I have a 7th gen nano from my mother and trying to load music into it on Windows 10. Some music from a specific artist (and oddly just that artist...) doesn't go into iTunes. I also ripped a CD I bought recently but I'm unable to get the music onto the iPod, which really annoys me.
You have to check the file type of the songs. iPods only recognize certain audio file types
@theretrouniverse I'm guessing iPod/iTunes doesn't accept FLAC files because I'm trying to put those in. Edit: I forgot to add in more detail that some MP3 files from a specific artist don't get added into iTunes
@ oh yeah it won’t take FLAC
@@theretrouniverse well thank you for the replying back. I'm slowly adding a collection onto the iPod when I'm not tired of messing with convoluted apple software. Cheers
20,000 songs and I still can't get the artwork to transfer to my classic iPod. It shows in my media player on Windows, but for some reason it won't transfer. I never remember having a problem like this back in the day.
Are you using iTunes to load the album artwork?
@theretrouniverse Yes. I thought I had it because I saw a picture of each album appear as I dragged my albums into iTunes. And the ability to put a check mark in the upper left corner of each album. So maybe there's a way to sync or drag them to the iPod. When I try to I get a red circle with a line through it.
Personaly I bought a Vita to do both Vita and PSP stuff but PSP felt... Wrong. So instead I only use the vita for Vita stuff and I saved and bought a pspgo about a week ago! (Though my collector goblin brain makes me want to buy a 3000 as well)
I love the psp for psp games. Some psp games are great on vita only because of the 2nd analog stick mapping but yeah it doesn’t feel right I get what you mean
Bottom line for me, cassettes are fun! Thank you for posting.
Agreed! It's always nice to find others who appreciate them.
It's 2025 and I'm rocking a PSP!
Heck ya!
I like retro gaming.
It’s a lot of fun!
Psp was way ahead of its time.
Yes it was!!!
Such cute doggos! They seem awesome. I have a four legged son as well named Little. He’s the friendliest chihuahua ever haha.
That's awesome! They're the best!
มันสามารถใช้กับ PSP 3000 ได้หรือไม่
It's only for the 1000
I'm getting one!
Awesome! What color?
Ermmm, I think its yellow
Just started playing this! Someone hook me up with a place to play with other people!!
I have Nintendo 3ds
I just downloaded flipnotestudio from dsi shop! I am so excited
oh nice!! Flipnote studio was such a cool app on it
Honestly lately after repairing one with new caps, USB C rechargeable battery from RetroSix and aftermarket Chinese LCD screen, I carry this thing everywhere with me now. It's been sticking to me more than my Gameboy advanced SP. I've repaired 5 game gears with success, I love these little bricks. I wasn't even born when it came out, I didn't even grow up during the Gameboy era, I grew up during the GBA Advanced era. I just love holding this console, playing games in and out. I love putting cartridges in it, I love collecting for it, I just love it.
That’s awesome I wish I knew how to do all those modifications myself
I've never used an iPod, but I would think PSP would automatically be superior even just as an mp3 player because of being able to listen to music through its speakers, which you can't do on iPod. I have compared it to my iPhone though, and honestly I think the sound quality is surprisingly better on PSP. Plus the visualizers and equalizer settings are so cool. And on top of all that, the PSP is not only a Sony-quality mp3 player, but also a near-PS2 quality gaming machine, AND a dvd-quality portable movie player. It's an all-in-one device, so honestly I've gotta hand it to the PSP. Such a cool little device.
Yes it really was ahead of its time!
Dude I still have games for my Ps1, ps2, ps3 and ps4 that I haven't even played yet. I'm not in a rush to get the ps5 yet
I have a PS5 but still find myself going back to my older systems
@@theretrouniverse if you get a PS3 backward compatible and you have your PS5 that’s all you need brother
This is a great list thank you! I just got my first Game Boy and had no clue what games even existed!
You’re very very welcome! Welcome to the Game Boy club!
How can I play this without the cartridge? I have a modded ds so I would really appreciate if you could maybe help me on how to get it. Thank you!
While I can’t provide you info on where to obtain it, all I can say is Google would be your friend on the title of the game plus the word ROM
It’s an Xbox and PlayStation controller baby
I got it today
Considering brand new they sold for 500 plus.
Agreed and I don't even mind the yellowing of the plastic. Adds to the aesthetic of it being an older system now
Whoa those are expensive online too that is a crazy find
Right? the moment I noticed it on the shelf I knew it had to be mine lol
