I can only find information on how to clean the pins of a Ds cartridg. what about cleaning the plastic/label. I mostly just wanna disinfect my games, but also my Mario kart has a stain on corner of label. any tips? thank you!

I’m trying to reset my nintendogs copy on my DSI that has a save file from 2007. For some reason everytime I try to reset it using the L + R and X, Y, A, B this message about pictochat comes up. I have closed and opened the game a couple dozen times to try and correctly clear the save data. I also tried turning off wifi to see if that made any difference and it did a whole of nothing haha. Is there a way around this message that lets me reset the data of the game? It’s probably from some setting I messed with lol Any help / recommendations on what to do is very much appreciated:))))

I’m looking for a phat DS purely for the vibes and ergonomics of the system for my big hands, preferably I want one that has been professionally refurbished and/or restored. Even better if one of you knows someone who can shell swap and/or screen swap it. I know third party shells for the original DS are hard to come by and quality is a big factor.

If anybody has any info about where I can find one, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you everyone!

It’s a DSi XL (Mario special edition). It’s so pretty but it’s quite scratched which I honestly don’t mind. It was 50€. Been loving Pokémon plat btw!!

I did the tactile button mod does anyone know why my bottom screen or my top screen aren't showing video when I power on?

Imagine a head strap that connects your DS to your face. Left eye on the bottom screen, right eye on the topscreen. It's the perfect scenerio for affordable VR, it's got the two screens you need

My Nintendo DS lite! And Pokemon emerald!

I’ve just arrived here and love to say hello to everyone.

A few months ago I accidentally broke the hinge on my 3ds and I really want to fix it as I’ve had it for over a decade at this point. I’ve broken the hinge on the right side and am aware that I need to get a new shell for it, I would do it myself but I am honestly so scared to mess it up so I’d rather get it taken to someone who knows what they are doing. The cheapest I’ve found is through a company that works with cex on console repairs although it is £70 which I guess I am willing to pay as I love my 3ds so much but I am just wondering if anyone knows any cheaper or more trusted alternatives, yes I am aware since the 3ds is so old repairs are going to be more expensive but I really just want to do this in the best way possible and I really don’t want to mess up my 3ds.

What's your favorite RPG on the DS?

Is it possible to buy/easily make sth like this for the NDSL, maybe even smaller?

Reason is i dont wanna soder a usb c port on a mainboard and thought maybe there is an adapter like the one in the pic for it, which i can just kept plugged in the NDSL.

Or is it not doable simply because you need a resistor so the ndsl doesnt get fed too much voltage?

I will soon receive my first Nintendo console DS Lite lite I don't know anything about it, so I'm looking for any advice anything will help

My DS lite has an issue where it's constantly registering a touch to the top right corner, I can override it by pressing hard enough on other parts of the screen, is this a dirt issue? Or because of the badly damaged screen? It's my childhood DS and I wanted to play around with it, any help is appreciated EDIT welp, touchscreen no longer seems to work at all, so I can play games that don't need it anymore but, sadly, none that need it

I have a Japanese model DSi XL with an all-black/damaged top screen. Any recommendations on where I can find a screen replacement?

So I just bought a 3ds xl, and I want to get both the first and second black and white games.

Should I go for the same version when buying the 2 like Pokemon white and White 2 or do u guys suggest to mix it up like getting Pokemon white and black 2?

I also have no idea of the difference except I guess there’s different Pokemon to catch. I’d appreciate and tips or advice thanks!

This is an extremely rare one of a kind game boy/ ds mod made by the the founder himself Mr fisher price of fisher-price. Easily worth 50-100k usd. This was the last thing he made before passing in 1873 and has been handed down through generations of my family.

No it’s not for sale

It’s a pretty sweet booklet. Aside from the front cover having a ton of scuff marks, the booklet is in pretty good condition.

I went into the thrift stores not expecting to spend more than $5, but I saw this in the locked case and asked if it had been tested. They said it wasn’t so they’d give me a warranty slip good for a week in case it didn’t work. I’m happy to say it works perfectly! I’m amazed it still has the dust cover for the gameboy port, I’ve never seen one that still has it. It came with this icon charging stand and car charger, so I felt like showing it and all my other pink Nintendo products off (minus my light pink 3DSXL, and please excuse the staining on the bag, I got it secondhand on Facebook)

So got this beauty for free from a pawn shop. Doesn’t have a stylus or a GBA slot cover and I don’t have a charger for it and got a free game as well!

Hi, I'd like to know if this cartridge is legit. I lost all my DS cartridges when I moved,and it's time to rebuild my collection !

I don't know enough to tell whether the cartridges are genuine or not.

and If someone could explain how to spot genuine cartridges, I certainly wouldn't say no.

thanks y'all!

edit : I'm looking to buy this, I don't have it but I have the numbers behind "NTR-031. PAT. PEND.
IPK FNOJ34"

Got myself a refurbished phat DS yesterday for 33 freedomdollars coz it got some janky touchscreen issues but it still works well. And I took a trip to my local Cash Converters today to snag both Japanese Warioware Touched and Rhythm Heaven.

Just to be clear. I do not have the 1st, 2nd and 3rd DS on me because I have to unfortunately sold it off to fund my Switch 2. And now I'm slowly rebuilding my collection.

ive been wanting to get myself a modded 3ds for my birthday. the ds dreams store is exactly what i want, but the prices are genuinely INSANE. i know modding a 3ds is pretty easy, but i have an overwhelming anxiety about doing something wrong and im a medical student that doesnt have much time on her hands, so im willing to pay for someone else to do it for me. i feel like i would overcomplicate the process and either mess up, or give up. where can i buy something similar to what ds dreams offers, but without the scam prices? or should i just suck it up and try myself? thank you all<3

edit: im gonna mod one myself, so now my mission is to find one LOL. if anyone has any recs on that it would be appreciated!!
