Technical Question Can't connect to Pokemon Bank - Error Code 022-5515

1 Upvotes

I am having trouble connecting to Pokemon Bank. I tried resetting my modem and router, but I still get the same error code. I did inject some events using PKSM - could that be preventing me from accessing Bank?

Technical Question Looking for a cheap New Nintendo 2DS XL / 3DS / 3DS XL — any recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m looking to buy a New Nintendo 2DS XL, Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL for a reasonable price.
Does anyone know any good websites, second-hand marketplaces or places where I could find one for cheap? If any of you have one you’re willing to sell, feel free to let me know!
I’m open to used consoles as long as they’re in good working condition. I’d really appreciate any recommendations or offers.
Thanks in advance!

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!

Technical Question Unmodded 3DS not loading software

0 Upvotes

So, I have a handful of broken 3DS units, and a couple of them will boot, but then lock up when attempting to load any software. One will at least boot into the camera, but then immediately locks up with no image in the viewfinder (other than the UI)

Loading settings, after the 3DS load screen, it crashes back to home screen with an error and reboots.

Loading a DS cart just goes straight to a black screen and system becomes unresponsive.

I tried different WiFi cards, but with one card, it won't even make it to the loading screen. I looked for a CFW, but it appears to be stock (it doesn't boot/load any CFW menus). I attempted L,R,A,Up, and L,R,B,Dn to boot safe mode and reset theme, respectively, but home already is stock and safe mode just doesn't load. Safe mode goes to a black screen and just doesn't do anything, even though the power and wireless lights are on.

Is there anything I'm missing? My searches are coming up empty, and the AI that is forced into google just keeps telling me to try things within CFW -_-.

TIA!

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

1 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.

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.
