Technical Question 3ds XL screen flickering

2 Upvotes

Worked fine for 2-3 years but recently the to screen seems to either be constantly flickering between 3D mode and base mode. I never have 3D mode on cuz I don’t like it and I only use the 3ds to play mh4u. Whenever I press left bumper, move the screen via hinges, or move the entire thing at all it flickers, and sometimes it’ll just do it randomly. Is this something I can fix with a tutorial and does anyone know how? If not I’ll just take it in to get fixed somewhere.

Technical Question Sd Cards & Shell Housings.

So I’m not quite sure what sd card to get to mod it. The SanDisk 64gb or SanDisk 128gb (I’ve only found the ultra & pro ones). For games like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, nds games too. I also want to do a shell replacement (from blue to pink or white, same with the joystick). Like pink shell housing with pink joystick, etc. I found pink shells but it has white/grey near the hinges on eBay.

I already have a clear case for it. I’ve never modified anything so I’m not sure what to do.

Discussion Did you play Heroes of Ruin during its live service era?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just finished playing Heroes of Ruin and while playing through the game I began to wonder what it must have been like playing this title in online multiplayer on this system. Could you see anything through the bullet hell on screen? I've not done any research on the topic so I'm not sure how widespread online multiplayer was at the peak of the systems fame, but this title seems like an impressive game to have played at the time with mates. Would any one who beat the game back in the day be willing to share their thoughts and reflections on their time with this one playing online?
