The Accessible Technology Podcast

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,...

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. Furthermo...

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.

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 ar...

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.

In this episode, I reac...

The Nintendo DSi was first launched back in 2008, and was the 3rd DS console to ever be released. It was the first DS to include a camera (before even smartphones were capable of taking pictures), as well as being the first to get an audio player. However, while the DSi (and other consoles in the family) were groundbreaking for the time, there were a lot of games that were very inaccessible. That&...
