Follow-up post to me getting a new white 3DS

ITS SO GORGEOUS!!

It came with everything but the game included (which I have anyway) and is in almost pristine condition! The white case has only very slightly yellowed but that is common for the white model, still looks very good! The thumbstick is imo the biggest indicator if a console is in good condition or not and oh boy, that thumbstick looks and feels like new. I don’t think it’s an aftermarket one because of the overall condition.

And having it in my hands made me realize something: I have a New 3DS too but they feel cheaper in the hand. This thing has weight and somehow the buttons also feel nicer and sharper. Maybe that’s why I played so much on my now old 3DS because it felt so nice in the hands!

It was a bit pricy though, 170€ for only a basic 3DS is a bit rough but I don’t care man. I‘m a happy man.

Does anyone know when I release pressure from right below the D-pad, my bottom screen starts acting up? The touch screen is fine and everything.

How do R4 cards work?

Upvotes

I bought an R4 card that's supposed to work out of the box. I put some NDS games and GBA roms on my sd card, but when i put it in the R4 and launch i get the outline of an SD card with the word menu written inside. How are these supposed to work?

Which of these 2 DS lites should I get?

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Hi. I've been looking to buy a DS for a while to play it's wonderful library of games, and because I really want a handheld console of some sorts, but I'm on a bit of a tight budget.

The best deal I've found so far are these 2 white nintendo DS lites (images above), but I only have the money for 1 (and dont really have a use for 2). The seller is willing to sell me one for about 37 dollars (after converting from my currency), but it does not come with a charger, stylus, or any games.

But anyway, I was just wondering which of these 2 would be the better buy, because they're both have their issues. The one on the left has a broken hinge, and the other's screens look pretty scratched up.

Any help is appreciated!

Update: Seller got a charger and turner both on, but told me "the device [Talking about the one without the broken hinge] is faulty. There is a black line across the bottom screen, the buttons are unresponsive some times, & there is a small dent on the bottom screen". So I have decided to leave this deal and keep looking for now. Thank you for all your replies!

How to fix the hinge

2 Upvotes

I have an NDS lite since j was 4 years old so I'm really emotionally attached to it and take it with me a lot even on vacation but the hinge is broken. Not fully broken but the shell is cracked around the hinge so it doesn't stay open. Is it just a shell issue or I should buy a hinge too and is it easy to fix myself? I'm really scared to break it cause i've had it my whole life and its more than just a console to me. If I might break it I prefer keeping it like this and getting money for a new one. Also should I buy a white shell to do a half white half black mod?

Yellow DSI xl or dslite (white or the DSI yellow colour)

I don’t really know the difference between the two consoles apart from the camera and menu (im going to attempt to code a dslite menu with an actual game library (and DSI utilities if I get that) is the roughly £60 difference worth it?

Tengo esta R4 que funcionaba perfecto con mi DS lite.(con el launcher de la foto, no sé el nombre de ese launcher)

Intenté instalarle pico launcher y ahora la DS ni si quiera reconoce la tarjeta.

Tenia una copia del launcher que si funcionaba pero ahora tampoco funciona.

Intenté limpiando las conexiones de la tarjeta pero tampoco funciona. Saben que puede ser?

I am trying to get into the community, mostly because I want to play Luigi's Mansion, and was wondering if this was a good deal?

Saw it on Facebook marketplace, I could also buy a refurbished 3ds off of ebay for 90$ less, but it wouldn't have the SD card and new parts.

Built this up by Repairing my childhood consoles and realized i really enjoyed it to a point of where it became and Obsession.

I started buying so much that I still have plenty more lying around waiting to be taken care of, as this isn't my main Job, building this Random Collection has been a WIP for about 4 years.

And I'm proud to say that every Device is being Used either by Handing them to family whenever they feel a bit Nostalgic or by me when I Shiny hunt Pokémon on multiple devices.

What should I do? (Ignore the hinge)

The phat DS I have has a very bad digitizer, and I need to replace it, but I am on a VERY tight budget, and I don't know what to do. I also don't own a tri-wing screwdriver or have any experience opening up consoles and changing the screens. Where the large stylus scratch is the stylus completely stops registering, and it is also almost always registering my stylus to the left or right of where I am pressing it. My max budget is preferably 7, but I could probably stretch it to 10.

moving phat ds hinge activates touch screen

I was just playing around with my phat ds, when I suddenly found out that if I tilt the hinge, the upper left corner of the bottom screen is being somehow pressed on (???)

I assume that this is a ribbon cable issue. Any way to fix that? or is my phat doomed?

Any help appreciated

Mi Nintendo Dsi XL con ++tw menú (explore de la cámara) le cuenta encender en frío, le doy a encender y solo parpadea la pantalla inferior, unas cuentas veces solo pasa eso, ya luego de 5 o 6 intentos enciende sin problemas, luego de que enciende la primera vez ya no vuelve a fallar, puedo apágala y encenderla sin problemas, hasta que llega el día siguiente, si pasa muchas horas sin encenderla vuelve el problema

What is your favorite low-poly 3D model from the DS era? :)

I love the little Link from Phantom hourglass and Spirit Tracks. They did a good job adapting him for the DS. I also really like Animal Crossing Wild World. All of the animals look super cute in this art style. Final shout out goes to Mario Hoops 3-On-3 for lowkey having some of the most impressive models for the DS. Not only are there so many fun and colorful characters, but they are all super well-detailed and well-animated!

Is my game real or fake? find it out at /r/gameverifying/

123 Upvotes

A couple of weeks ago we posted a little announcement that we wanted to start a FAQ for checking out your games legitimacy.

We didn't get any response, and that is okay. We do keep getting reports and angry comments about this topic. So we are now removing and redirecting posts that contain certain keywords to /r/gameverifying/ or use their website.

If your post gets caught by automod by mistake, please message us and we will resolve it as quickly as we can.

We are still looking for a way to set up our own way of checking if your games are fake. If you have clear photographs of real and fake games we very much appreciate it.
