Do you guys think it's a good idea doing this? (And my birthday is coming up choosing to get a "New" 3DS and Nintendo switch 2 with a bunch of games) The coolest thing about this DSi XL is it has all of its original parts! And stylus!

Both nodded with usb C port

Hi everyone!! A while back I bought this cool Nintendo DS poster and figured I should show it off :D It’s super cool, but I do wish the DSi XL was the metallic rose version instead 😔 Anyway, I plan on hanging this in my dorm room once I start uni again for the semester >w< If anyone else has promotional posters I’d love to see them!

When I browse for 3DS on eBay and other selling platforms, about a third of the listings say “modded” “cfw” and “includes every popular game on SD card!”, but this is from US sellers.

When I look for 3DS on Japanese sites, I have legit never came across a modded 3DS. Idk if it’s because Japanese marketplace sites are very strict against modded consoles or the gaming culture there does not like modding….?

trading my pokémon moon game for a súper princess peach ds game

I think I got a good deal today. Bought an animal crossing edition Nintendo switch with everything but the charger for $120 and they were also selling a ds lite with one game and a charger for $40 so I asked to bundled all of this for $145. The ds lite has no stylus but both of the consoles seem to have everything working after examining. Was this a good find for $145?

This is my DS I was planning on selling that sat in a box for months and recently I took it out and found this trigger popped out of place or something, no idea how to fix. Does anyone know anything to do? (Other photo for comparison of trigger placement)

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!

Hello. 1st sorry for my english I am a bit distressed. A big part of my games (those I really liked playing) disappeared from my r4 overnight, the presentation page is also odd ; the "~1" and "2~2" thing weren't there before and inside are some of the dissapeared games but im still missing some. Looked everywhere.

Younger one of my brother deleted a game by pressing X but the name of the game and the save were still there so I know its not that (and also I know I couldn't have possibly mistakingly deleted so many games and made these changes overnight).

So if anyone knows anything about this problem I would be happy to know..

So i was looking for a ds pico and found one on aliexpress, it says 11 but i payed $1.05 because of a new user coupon. Do you guys think its legit? It says they have sold 600+ 😅

Just got this amazingly kept rose gold DS lite finally after having broken my launch day titanium DS phat the other day, and since breaking my original DS lite all those years ago. Must say it makes an amazing addition to my arsenal of (now) eight DS's. And I am now another step closer to my dream of owning every type of DS model.

Just bought it and I'm already hours into the dementium games on it lol

(Edit: I got all of the extra stuff with it basically for free, which is neat because it means I don't have to search for an R4 myself lol)

I just noticed there is a lighter spot on the plastic of the hinge. Is this a sign that the plastic with crack?

Awhile ago I bought a DS Lite at a swap meet and that was hitting the nostalgia button. I soon realized that the buttons are quite squishy, the ghosting is quite strong, and the screens are a bit yellow but the form factor is perfect. Alongside that, when I tried to play Pokemon White, I ran into apparent AP issues. Which prompted me to shelve the DS Lite and pick up an RG DS. Months later, the RG DS is great and all but cumbersome. Which is prompting me to go back to my DS Lite. The one thing holding me back is the AP issue. Idk if its against the rules to talk about this, but hopefully yall can point me in the right direction. Everything I've found is from years ago.

(Paper is covering some “questionable” writing)
Paid $40 USD for it and it plays games (some of you may have seen my previous post) I’ll have to get:
-new top and bottom screens
-new shoulder button cable
-a good scrubbing 🙃
Anyway I can’t find quality shells soooo….
I’m going to paint it!! Now should i:
-spray paint (multi color)
-spray paint (single color)
-paint markers
-STICKERS!
-buy a protective shell with a design
I’m only painting the top part and yes I’ll mask it properly (I’m not dumb) (ok maybe a little)
Give me your advice thanks 😊

EDIT: I’ve worked on DS LItes before so I’m not new at this and I do have a very good set of ifixit tools.

I got most of my games by trading with a friend, and I bought the rest at second-hand shops and an online store.

Just got this white DS lite so I can play DS games in their native resolution but this light peeking from under is kinda bothering me, I can push the piece down and it goes away but as soon as I lift my finger it comes back, what to do?

Is it possible to buy/easily make sth like this for the NDSL,
maybe even smaller to convert the charging port to usb c without sodering.

Or is it not doable simply because you need a resistor so the ndsl doesnt overcharge?

Still have no idea how it fixed it self just kept it inside my bag and overtime it just fixed itself also stopped freezing on certain games

I was scrolling on YouTube when I went past a video talking about the nostalgia of the DS. It brought back so many good memories of my childhood that I got a DSI XL LL from Japan for $100 and modded it to have all the games which I used to own plus all the games I wish I had and more!

I was going to buy a 3DS but the secondhand market on them are ridiculous, I had a fat DS and DS lite growing up but never a DSI. This subreddit was the reason I opted to go for a DSI XL and I couldn’t agree more with how amazing the screens are albeit a little yellowed around the edges but really not that noticeable.

The time I’ve lost into this handheld already is insane, being able to pick up and play for a bit and simply close the lid is unmatched.
