I (stupidly) sold my 3DS XL a years ago and now I want it back. I've been thinking about getting one New 3ds xl refurbished from Ebay in around $350 but then I saw the Ayn Thor that cost pretty much the same but with better screen and a lot more possibilities. Even though, i am mostly interested in 3DS/DS games. So, what do you think? What are your experiences?

Checking my 2DS I noticed the back panel isn't properly flush against the front one, it's like when a device has a bloated battery, except this happens even when I remove the battery? Is the plastic like curved or something? You can see what I mean better in the video

Basically, I own an ocarina of time 2ds system. The game icon dissapears if I remove the SD card so it is somehow tied to the sd card. I am getting a new 2ds xl and need to know. Ive tried replacing sd card in my system and Oot doesnt show up so it is the specific sd card that shipped in the system that is either the game or gamekey

1. Can I just use my old sd card and play ocarina of time on my new 2ds if the games on the sd card?

2. Will it not work because it may require a download and 3ds eshop doesnt exist anymore

3. If i try, would it possibly corrupt it or make it unable to work on my normal ocarina 2ds?

i couldnt find a way to swap the looking from the c-stick to ABXY movement from ABXY to c-stick... how can i alter it via <text>??

My understanding is once the data is written it will only last about a decade before it fades, and that the only way to refresh the data is to rewrite it.

Does that mean that the system updates I've installed reset the clock?

If not is there some other way to reinstall the system software once it fades?

Recently, game ports have been released on old consoles, the same mario cart wii on 3ds, it's even possible, the same roblox on xbox 360 and etc, and I thought if it was possible to port the game ben 10 protector of earth to new 3ds? I don't think this game is more demanding than Mario cart wii. Yes, I know that all these games are not ports, but as I understand its an ai and vibecoding are used for such "ports", I could be wrong because I don't know exactly how everything works, but as if it would be quite possible to port Ben 10? Moreover, it's a pretty popular and good game and I think many people would like this idea

I'm really hoping to get a 3DS this Summer, and I wanted to know which is actually better if anyone has experience in both. I'm inclined towards PrBoom because it's got less known graphical glitches and higher brightness, but PrBoom+ is tempting because of the seemingly better graphics and the vertical shooting as well (which I like because I play Freedoom on my laptop).

Also, if for a first playthrough of Doom 3DS is in your experience a significantly worse experience (not just minor), please tell me so I can refund it on Steam in favour of a physical release on a more comfortable platform instead, like Switch.

Thank you if anyone has actual advice since homebrews are naturally a more niche topic than official games.

The battery from the used 2ds i bought drains pretty fast so I was thinking of replacing it, is this a good replacement?

Does anyone know of a site or seller that sells custom or official special edition buttons for the New 2DS XL?

I'm trying to make an all-black New 2DS XL. I already got the black Circle Pad, the black PSP Cap,

but I can't find any custom black button sets nor any replacement shells for the Minecraft Creeper Edition, Pokeball Edition, or the Dragon Quest Edition, which, to my knowledge, were the only official models that had black buttons.

From what I've read, I can’t install buttons from any other 3DS/DS model into my system, because they wouldn't be able to fit.

Is anyone able to help me out?

Hi everyone! I have a problem with my white Nintendo 3DS XL. Both screens seem to flicker, but the bottom screen is especially bad, as you can see in the video.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Could it be a faulty LCD, a loose ribbon cable, or possibly an issue with the motherboard?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Had no idea my 3ds is worth 250 bucks so my question is if there is a way to fix up this scratch or maybe find a touch up paint to hide it? Thanks guys!

I ordered this 3DS from Japan and I’m super stoked to get it in but I’m trying to figure how bad the yellowing/fading might be

First pic if from the listing and the second is from the warehouse that is going to be sending it to me from Japan

Yes I know it’s probably crazy to some of you but I’ve never played Pokemon, besides Pokemon Go which I feel like doesn’t count. I don’t really know which to pick but feel like I’m leaning towards Ruby. Any recommendations?

Thought you guys would like this! Spotted inside the May 2013 copy of Official Nintendo Magazine.

It's an open world multiplayer zombie survival game on the 3DS. Ended up becoming really popular in Japan and Americas. PvP or PvE gameplay, find guns, ammunition, fuel for vehicles and explore the desolate Arctic Island. Game means a lot to me.

When I was a kid growing up in Vietnam, my neighbor—a boy visiting from the US—brought over a Nintendo handheld running Pokémon. I still remember how utterly fascinated I was just watching him play, wishing I could have one of my own. Back then, it was way out of reach.

Fast forward to today: I’m 36 now, and I decided it was time to fulfill that childhood dream. I managed to track down an original 3DS in great condition from a local collector on Facebook, and holding it in my hands honestly brings me so much joy.

I finally booted up Pokémon, and here’s what I just caught!

What Pokémon game should I dive into next?

本当は10月3日が僕の誕生日ですがお金に余裕がなく(学生なので)、バイト代をちまちま貯めて買いました!!やっぱり白色は良いですな。色焼けしないように大切にします!!おすすめのソフトがあれば教えてください...!

A couple months ago I bought a Red 3DS LL on Mercari and it works pretty well but I noticed a few things, the Circle Pad can have a slight resistance to it, the B Button and Left and Up Buttons require firmer presses before responding to the input, and there seems to be a dead pixel on the top screen which wasn’t very noticeable on the listing or when I received it. I was wondering if there a trusted repair shop I can maybe send my DS to get some of these fixed or replaced unless there’s some cheap home alternatives I can do to fix it myself?

Hey all, I just recently got a n3dsxl and it seems to be completely fine. However. The b button is having intermittent issues with input. It’s not until I press hard that it registers. I tried cleaning it out as well as the rubber spacer and the pad. While taking it apart, I also noticed the top left screw doesn’t fasten and doesn’t require removal to lift the membrane (pointed to in pic 2) does anyone know what my issue could be?

I recently got my hands on a new 3DS XL, but the shell's a bit scratched up and I wanted to replace it. Where can I find replacements?

Is cleaning it easy or should i just live with it? What should i do to prevent it in the futute?

I want to buy a 3DS as soon as possible. Since prices are so high, I’m considering buying an "old" 3DS XL first, and then—once I’ve saved up more money—upgrading to a "New" 3DS XL. As a teenager, I don’t have enough income to go straight for a "New" model; I earn about 8 dollars a week, and a "New" 3DS XL costs around 370 dollars in my country, whereas the "old" XL costs 175.

I’m not sure if this is the right decision, so I’m asking for your opinions.

I've been struggling for three days to get the hinge barrel back into place on my 3DS XL after a broken power-side hinge. The only part that I ordered is the lower midframe, as I still have the original barrel and hinge. Do I need the little clear plastic piece (picture 2)? It looks just like a cover for the LED; I was planning to tape it over instead. No matter what orientation I try or what force I apply, the barrel won't snap into place...

I wouldn't mind ordering a new hinge set, but if anyone has any tips, videos, or notices anything wrong in the meantime, please tell!

(p1 is now, p2 is a few months ago).i also finally tried out each game i had and only kept the ones i truly liked ^^ i still love pink frills but i think this is much more peaceful
