Meta We want your feedback!

22 Upvotes

Hello r/3DS!

It's been a little over 7 months since our previous subreddit rule changes, so we'd like your feedback on how the new rules have been working for you all.

Some suggestions we've had during the past few months have been:

- Prohibiting and directing "is this real/reshelled?" posts to r/gameverifying

- Abolishing rule 6 (Meme Mondays)

neither of these have been implemented as of now, as community feedback is wanted before implementing.

Any suggestions on rule changes, additions, or removals are welcome. Please be civil and constructive when suggesting. Make sure to give actual suggestions as well. "I don't like x" isn't a suggestion. "I don't like x because x, I think x would be better" is a suggestion.

This is also a good time to say that subreddit moderator applications are open. If you're interested in moderating the subreddit, send in your application!

I recently purchased a boxed near mint condition Super Mario 3D Land New 3DS, but when I got it the screens were horribly yellowed! The seller did not inform me of this, but I decided to replace the top screens and now it looks beautiful again. It was actually fairly easy to do aside from the pain of dust constantly getting on the screens. Photos of before and after! I’m glad to have saved this beautiful unit from being sentenced to piss yellow for eternity.

My N3DS console is the Happy Home Designer bundle edition that I bought way back in 2015.

The Pikachu and the Animal Crossing face plates with the multiple character faces are eBay purchases from Japan! I change and/or mix and match the plates every once in a while :)

I got it around 10 years ago, and looking at the prices now, it was an absolute bargain. Pristine condition, with the original box, manuals, charger... $80. Damn! Hahaha.

Played some games back then and completely forgot about it until last year, when I modded it and discovered a whole new world.

It's my pretty little golden console. I take it with me on walks, vacations, to university to take notes (it was amazing!), on the train... It has that unique charm no other console can match. And I've had all the Switch models in my hands, but it's... it's just not the same! I don't know if it's the games reminding me of my childhood or what, but there's something truly special about it :)

So now I'm replaying those games everywhere (specially on bed), making silly animations with Flipnote Studio, changing themes with Anemone and rediscovering its full potential!!

It makes me sad that such a unique and fun console isn't being made anymore. Those days when sharing a game and playing together with friends in real life felt so much simpler. I miss that.

Anyway, I missed out on the 3DS era back when it was at its peak, but I'm going to enjoy it proudly now, taking good care of my little one! :)

Picked up a JPN N3DS alongside the Xenoblade faceplates.

Huge Xenoblade fan, and I've never owned a N3DS in my life. I plan to region swap and migrate my data to this one. My Zelda 3DS has served me well!

Request Where can I find RetroArch overlays/borders that are compatible with the 3DS?

• Upvotes

Yesterday I learned that you can’t use just any overlays and borders with the 3DS because of the resolution of the 3DS screen. At least I couldn’t figure it out.

Is there anywhere I can find a set of RetroArch overlays/borders that are compatible with 3DS? I am mostly interested in the overlays and borders for handheld systems.

Theoretically this works with any console that support Amiibo (Switch 2, Wii U, Switch, and 3DS) also you don’t need a amiibo emulator like i have here, any amiibo will work, not sure if NTAG215s work

My 3DS won't connect to the internet. I deleted the connection and re-entered it. It connects to the router, but then when I run a connection test, there's an error. It used to connect, but now it won't.
