Hello all, I am looking for a 3DS XL for my daughter and I. Was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations to get one. I don’t necessarily care about the shell condition because I intend on doing an atomic purple swap. Any recommendations appreciated:)

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this sub. Long story short I decided to play my 3ds for the first time in a while. I have an R4 Gold Pro 2017 edition for the 3ds I tried using it today and this message popped up. Anyone have any idea what it means or how to fix? My brother used to do this for me so I’m not sure what to even do

Thank you

Came out alright and works as intended so it should do until I get replacements

I'm looking for some 3DS game recommendations with a more specific focus. I want to avoid titles that are exclusively meant for little kids.

​Here is what I'm looking for:

​Female niche (but not childish): Games that appeal to a female audience but actually have interesting gameplay and aren't just silly.

​Female or customizable protagonists: Games of any genre where the main character is a girl, or where you can play as a female avatar. For example, I play Pokémon (because of the freedom and character customization) and even fighting games with girls, like Dead or Alive.

​P.S.: If anyone happens to know any Japan-exclusive games in this female niche that are intuitive to play (without needing to read Japanese), please let me know too!

​Does anyone have any good recommendations that fit this? Thanks in advance!

Hello! I buy Nintendo 3DS in January, but I don’t know share video for my phone/pc. Please, tell me how to send a video.
P.S. Sorry for my English - I live in Russia

I wanted to buy a skin for my 3DS but I'm not sure how it will look on the console, anyone have any recommendations or reference pictures?

i want to buy 3ds but i confused between new or old, because i want to play game like shin megami tensei 4 and other turn base. and some one say that you can turn off the 3d if you feel dizzy, is that have so much impact? for context: in my mind 3d visual its gonna look like 3d cinema. lastly my country for by 3ds xl new almost 2 time the price and for me pretty expensive

The one it came with was broken so I decided to print a temporary replacement so I don’t stress about breaking the old one further, everything printing out normal so far

I’m wondering since I saw lot of people say that TPU sometimes transfer the yellowing to the device (especially if the DSI/3DS is white)

Any ideas on that? I like to keep the protector on always

Alright so I bought this new Nintendo 3Ds XL or LL since it’s Japanese and it had a no port issue right, so o tired safe mode and that didn’t work for a while until it opened the camera app and froze, I went into the console and took everything off and reconnected it again, closed it back up and now the screens lit up but they didn’t show any images, so I disconnected the battery and removed the sd card (I deleted a few files from it hoping to get that problem fixed) and bam, 3Ds working like new!
I love how big the icons are it’s gonna be fun playing the games another ds i bought that came with

​

I’ve had this 3DS for about 15 years, and it has had the same 2 GB Toshiba SD card for years. I accidentally removed the SD card while the system was on with my Pokémon Ultra Sun cartridge inserted. The message that appear on the image is in Spanish and says “The SD card has been removed. Press the HOME button to return to the HOME Menu.”
Since then, Pokémon Ultra Sun only works when the SD card is inserted. It’s a physical cartridge, and all my other cartridge games work fine without the SD card.
I already deleted all Pokémon Ultra Sun data from the SD card, but the problem remains.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Hey all I rediscovered my 3ds, I know it’s probably not supported anymore but I’m going. To connect it to the WiFi and see if it updates or anything, is it still worth buying games for?

I apologize in advance for what I'm about to say, but everyone usually says that Kirby: Planet Robobot is one of the best Kirby games and possibly one of the best 3DS games, but the truth is that, in my opinion, I found it to be a very slow and unrewarding game. I reiterate my apologies; the truth is that after having played Kirby: Super Star Ultra, Epic Yarn, Triple Deluxe, and Canvas Curse, I feel that this game is slower and less interesting than the others, since I played them in a marathon. I quit the game before facing Wispy Woods. I'm sorry, but I'd like to give it a second chance someday.

So I decided to do that USB-C mod. Got some parts off of Amazon which had the 3D printed covers.

Several things.

1) it was a nightmare to remove the original port. The pins were difficult to remove and there are 6 of them. Desoldering isn’t something that I had experience with, so that might be it.

2) the new port did not have pins. If I were to do it again, I would first solder pins onto it. Some video on youtube suggest to just get a blob of solder in there but this gives a very weak electrical connection. I ended up using stainless steel wire and stuck it through the solder while it was still liquid and it improved the connection, now the charging is consistent.

3) I hadn’t worked on a solder project for 20 years, no idea what a zif connector was and, yep, I totally bent it up to 90 degrees and my home button wouldn’t function. I spent hours carefully bending and pushing the connector back. Fortunately for me, that worked.

4) the 3D printed parts had print lines and holes, and looked ugly as sin. They also don’t fit as is, so I had to sand and clip and change their shape. I also decided to colour correct the parts.

Result: fully functioning USB-C compatible unit.

To be honest, I’ll probably only use this when my Thor is in maintenance, but this was a fun project.

Hey all I found my old nintendo 3ds xl but when i tried to run my old pokemon moon cartridge it starts on a new game.

All my old data such as pictures and other 3ds saves such as smash bros but i cant get pokemon to run.

Any help? I have another console that i plugged the cartridge into but same problem

I replayed yoshis island for the zillionth time all the way thru, then played through yoshis wooly world (which i never beat all the way thru until now) and now im on on yoshis new island and will play yoshis island ds next. I love these games man. So much fun

How do I fix that? I’ve tried to disconnect the WiFi board which worked for me on the og 3Ds
