This is my episode of The Accessible Technology Podcast where I tested 6 scary games on the Customised DSi but without scary sound effects.

Happy Halloweeeeeeeeen! In this podcast, I test out six more games on the customised DSi, and even spookier, on halloween night.

The Nintendo DSi was the third entry into Nintendo's family of DS Consoles, yet the first to include new features that would then become on later DS handhelds, including dual cameras, music playback and built in access to the internet.

But while all this was great, there were some things it didn't do as well (and no, I'm not talking about the lack of a Game Boy Advance slot). Instead, I'm hinting at the lack of accessibility features on the handheld, especially the lack of accessibility features for gamers who required alternative input methods, which is why I've been researching into this, while trialing a customised version of the Nintendo DSi, which has been modified with a switch interface glued into it, with 3.5mm jacks in it that are mapped to the L and R buttons.

In this video, I'm going to tell you how much easier the Customised DSi makes it to play 5 more games.

Technology has advanced in numerous ways throughout the 21st Century, with massive leaps since the century started 25 years ago.

While video tapes were still popular at the beginning and a few years into the century, it wasn't long before the DVD became more popular, and we're now living in an era where streaming is ultimately more popular than both of those other forms of media. Furthermore, we’ve also seen the digitising of print, with apps such as Kindle and Apple Books leading to a present where absolutely all print has been digitised.

In this video, I'm going to be documenting how much technology has changed over the last 20 years.

The Nintendo DSi came out in 2009, but despite the large number of titles that released for the system, not all of them were accessible.

In this podcast, I summarise whether 5 more games I tested on a customised DSi can be played any easier.

WWDC (Apple's annual summer technology conference) took place between the 10th of June - the 14th of June 2024.

Although the Nintendo DS was a touch screen and had some games that were accessible, not all of them were.

For the last few years, I’ve been loaning a customised DSi, that has had a switch interface hot wired into it, so I can plug accessibility switches into it, that will act as the L and R buttons.

In this episode, I review 5 more games I tried out on it, while summarising how accessible they are for physically disabled gamers.

Apple held an event on the 7th of May, which was known before it was streamed as the Let Loose event. It concentrated completely on iPads, with new versions of every iPad model announced. However, Apple also announced new updates to their Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro Apps — as well as others — that will enhance film production on an iPad, while also flirting with AI as well.

In this episode, I react to the event.

The M1 Pro MacBook Pro was announced by Apple back in October 2021, carrying on from the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M1 Chip, 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Chip and Mac Mini with the M1 Chip, which were all released in the year long forgotten, also known as 2020. The chip that it technically comes with is an M1 Pro, but you can also get a version with an M1 Max Chip. However, as of 2024, it has been discontinued, but you can still get refurbished versions through Apple and Amazon as well, though you won’t get them for anything cheaper than still a thousand and something pounds, because it is still a new enough model.

In this episode, you get to hear my review.

On 18th January 2024, Xbox showcased their Developer Direct Conference.

In this video, I react to the conference, give my first impressions as to what I think of each of the games showcased, and offer suggestions on the things that could make the games more accessible.
