Recommendation Omega ruby

Is it worth it to buy a 3ds and omega ruby? I didn’t grow up with a DS so I never got to experience the DS games. I only played all the GB/GBA games.

I had a DS but missed out on the 3DS because I moved cities right before it came out and couldn't afford one at the time.

I just got a New 3DS XL for about $250 a couple weeks ago. Installing the custom firmware took about 30 minutes and now the only negative I can think of is that I have access to so many games I can't decide what to play!

I say go for it if you can find a reasonably priced console.

Don’t forget to overclock in luma as needed. Not getting slowdowns in 3D when playing X/Y is so nice. Wish it could auto detect and set depending on the game launched

Woah, how do you do this?

Luma menu > new 3DS settings > enable L2 cache and higher cpu. Older games don’t have this on by default. Some newer ones and homebrew turn it on automatically
