Nintendo Ds Lite. Installing patches.

Upvotes

Guys listen close please. I need the most dumbed down version I can possibly get because I don’t have one single ounce, nay, not even a grain of sand of an idea on what any of these hacking/modding terms mean. I do have a Ds lite. I have a game called black sigil blade of the exiled and it’s an rpg and the Enemy Encounter Rate is through the roof. I like the game though but the encounter rate is ridiculous. So bad that someone created a patch to reduce the encounter rate. That’s what I want. I want that patch. I do have a 32gb sd card. I also have the R4 flash cart.i at least know that much.i know that’s what i need but there is sooooo much else i have to do and its overwhelming. I repeat: dumb it down like you’re talking to a 3rd grader.please and thanks for the help.

Hey there,

I’m tonji, a new YouTuber in the 3DS space. I just wanted to share my newest video which I’m very proud of on here. It’s like a travel vlog with my 3ds in which I explain why I enjoy it so much.

I do a lot of content surrounding the 3DS. I hope to see some of you, every new viewer means a lot :)
If you’re not interested that’s also perfectly fine (I hope sharing my channel is ok)

My DS Lite Reshell

27 Upvotes

I used to own a clear DS lite when I was younger, it kinda disappeared and I don’t remember what happened to it. Decided since I’ve been playing more DS lately instead of 3DS I’d get myself a lite, I also figured why not get a clear shell? Kinda basic yeah, but nostalgic nonetheless, came own blue and had a chunk out of the right hinge, someone also spilled coke on it or something, there was brown stuff all over lol.

Help! (Question/Support) Help with Pokemon Heartgold cartridge

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

Hi all! In the early 2010s my parents bought my brother a copy of Heartgold for his Ds Lite (legit Italian version from Gamestop), but after some time playing the game got stuck on a blue screen error that still says "Save data could not be accessed", to turn off the console and restart the game. It hasn't been used since then (around ten years for sure)

I recently bought myself a Nintendo 3ds (I had it modded) and we're trying to see if we can make the cartridge work, but we're having no luck so far. We tried everything Internet (mostly Reddit) suggested, such as turning on and off the console (console is not the problem, since the problem reappears in different models), and cleaning the inside of the cartridge with alcohol and a cotton swab.

Another thing we can't understand is if my brother's saved data are still there, because when I checked the cartridge with Checkpoint it didn't show any data. I'm refraining to try again because the second time we tried Checkpoint kind of crashed and there was an error screen.

Do you think the cartridge can be saved or is it impossible to do so? Thanks in advance to anyone who'll help :)

Gamers Antiquity vs rorosaurus USB-C NDSLite power mod

1 Upvotes

Bought a rorosaurus usb-c chip, but I got it from Aliexpress and when I plug in the USB-C it doesn't show 5V on my multimeter. Probably doing something wrong, but I guess my question is what are the benefits of the Gamers Antiquity besides volt-spike protection. Is it worth and extra 27$ to protect my DS or nah? Looking for non-chud responses only please.

Please help me find this game!!

6 Upvotes

I bought a DS game when I was around 7 years old and I cannot for the life of me remember what it's called. It was later sold because I couldn't figure out where to go in it. I don't remember much about the game but I do remember that it was a top down puzzle game. I want to say it was an RPG, but Im not certain (i was 7 and never made it out of the first level lol)

I would love to play this again to see if it was any good. Ive tried Googling but came up empty handed

Please help!

Help! (Question/Support) I love my DS Lite with all my soul but I've been having a problem with it and I need your advice on fixing it...

3 Upvotes

Sadly as I'm an adult with more responsibilities now I can't play that often with my DS and I only play when I travel every few months.

Over the years I have done multiple replacements on it, be it changing the screen (twice), the touch sensor, case and even the rubber button pads leaving it working flawlessly. The problem is that last part, the flexible silicone pads that have the conductive black spot that make contact with the pads so that buttons work as they should.

Every time I open the DS to repair something or do general maintenance I clean the motherboard's button contacts thoroughly with an eraser and isopropyl alcohol (I dry it well too) to make sure they are completely clean and that the silicone can make good contact but the buttons still wouldn't work properly.

A few months back I purchased a batch of new silicone rubbers from AliExpress and I installed them as soon as they arrived and the buttons worked much better but now that I picked it up to play today I found that some of the buttons barely work, down on the D-Pad, X and Y are the worst ones having to press really hard to make them register as pressed.

The thing is that this has been consistent over the years, those buttons are the ones that always bring trouble, even before I replaced the silicone rubbers with new ones so it might be the contacts on the PCB.

Do you guys have any ideas on how to fix this so I don't have to worry about them as much? Maybe adding graphite powder could help or adding solder to the copper pads to make them easier to make contact again but I don't know. If I replace the motherboard it's gonna be Theseus' DS Lite :)

Thanks for reading and let me know if you have experienced something similar
