$600 used 3DSs soon bros
>>719884029No problemo I have a box full of 3DSs, shame I never picked up a 2DS though.
I wish more New 3DS accessories existed in the world but since it was never "officially" released in the US there are barely any.
If you need to repair your shit you are retarded nothing I've ever owned has ever broke unless I wanted to break it. wtf.
>>719884029Jewtendo at it again
>>719884309Aliexpress is your friend and you can get custom plates from people on Etsy.
shit's oldshould be expecting to fix it yourself anyway
>>7198840293DS game carts are also dying, so you won't need it for much longer
My only gripe is the really slow internet speed, wish transfering files through ftpd was more reliable
>>719884029Lmao just don't drop it, fat fingers
>>719885357I was talking about grips. I've seen some decent ones but they were all Japan-exclusive and are very rare now.
>>719885564this has been deboonked thoeverbeit.
>>719885564My cartridge slot died before any game did, not like it matters since it's hacked
>>719885895there are ways to fix it if you catch it early enough, but if your carts have been in a drawer for 10 years, it might be too late for at least some of themhttps://www.gameindustry.com/editorials/save-state/save-states-corrupted-cartridges-a-psa-for-nintendo-3ds-enthusiasts/
>>719886808>>719885895Just checked through my carts and my Fire Emblem Echoes is dead. Won't show up when inserted. Rebooted and it showed up but threw a "can't be started" error. I never even got to play it lmao. My Alpha Sapphire is fine though.
>soonif you'd check marketplace you'd know they are already at that price range at a MINIMUM
>>719884029This was JP only.
Someone should start writing guides on how to abandon original hardware.Carry over your saves, organize your games, and never look back.
Wait they were repairing them?I could've gotten my damn a button fixed so I can play more culdcept
How much of a habit should I make of just turning it on every once and a while? It's always the spookiest fucking thing when it takes a bit of time to turn on.
>>719884029I regret not picking up a new 3ds XL when they were cheap but I already have a release model that's home-brewed so it's no biggie
>>719888008wdym? new 3ds xls are like $300 on ebay
I sort of want a New 2DS XL, even though I have a New 3DS.Something about it seems cool.
>>719888260Even better were some people just getting mint condition replacements due to a lack of particular parts
>>719888513I have a day 1 model and I still got a N3DS XL after covid hit.
>>719888626I've generally heard the buttons on the N2DSXL are worse than the N3DSXL. Only have the former myself but I kinda regret not picking up the latter instead back in 2020.
Mine is the Happy Home Designer n3DS.
>>719884029my n3ds xl is mint because I never played that shit
>>719888734I was eyeing the N2DS while they were still selling them in stores, but I ended up buying a used N3DS. I think I made the right choice, even though the N2DS was only a bit over €100.
>>719885795You can find some pretty good grips to 3d print online btw, I wasn't willing to import or overpay so this kinda just worked out.
>>719884029I should look into maintaining my 3DS XL, I have a Smash Bros edition one but the L button was kind of getting loose and the stick lost the plastic cover a while ago. It could be a fun project to disassemble the console, but I wonder if I could find some spare Smash Bros shells somewhere since the painting on the back was already scratching off.
>>719884029Got a 2DS today for dirt cheap with the intent to gift it to someone, need to replace the joystick cap and buy a stylus but it's otherwise in a really good condition. The form factor is incredibly comfy, the original 3DS gave me cramps and the N3DS XL is not particularly comfortable for extended periods of time
>>719889412You can get shells pretty cheap last I checked since nobody buys them
The clock n the 3DS only goes up to the year 2040 so you only have 15 years left anyway
>>719884029Good thing this is a solved problem now.
>>719890162This. Most 3DS consoles will start dying soon either way, their flash memory is pure cheap dogshit!
>>719884029So how is it that Nintendo has run out of repair parts but my local repair shop still has repair parts for the DS and GBA?
>>719889775I need to get one of those just to try.
>>719884029Bought a new one this year
>>719890162The clock in the Xbox 360 stops counting in December.
>>719890384Chinaman is still making (or harvesting) them. You can even get reshelled DS on AliExpress for 50 bucks right now.
>>719890196can't wait for this. hope it fits in pockets
>>719890196>ChinkslopKekaroo!!!!
>>719885564>3DS game cartsIt's 2025, your 3DS should be hacked
>>719890509>crackWhoops.
>>719890196Does it actually run 3DS games? Haven't been following emulation on android devices. Also google is planning to kill sideloading and introduce restriction on what you can install on your device only allowing """verified""" developers and there's just now way they're gonna allow emulators for relatively recent consoles
>>719890437Surely that's not american $ Its TTD right?
>>719890525>Finest chinkshit enjoyer>Can enjoy 3ds games for $250>Kekarootard>Can't Simple as.
>>719890437Bwahhhh
>>719884029if i wasn't a lazy cun't i'd learn how to repair them myself and make bank off people desperate to get theirs fixed
>>719890701>KekarooDiscord link, sis?
>>719890628I can. >recent>3dsHehAzahar is on the play store already.
>>719890874*it canFuckSD8G3, 8-16Gb of RAMIt can run some modern PC games.
>>719890789I tried to get a vita repaired awhile back guy wanted 300 plus price of parts,used ones at that
>>719890628>snapdragonWell yes, but it's not specified, so i don't know if you can trust them. The sure thing is that they will never run good if they're upscaled.You should wait when they drop the price for the Ayaneo Flip 1S. That one can run 3ds and ds games flawlessy, even at 4k with 60fps mods.
>>719890675>>719890751Yes, American. I have large amounts of disposable income. The new (non XL) 3ds market is extremely grim in the US. XLs can be had for cheap, but I wanted the smaller version, no regrets. Also bought a new dsi and new vita for much much cheaper this year
>>719890384>How is it that the console manufacturer ran out of original repair parts for this 14 year old console but my local repair shop still has repair parts made by third party companiesReally begs the question.
>>719888513It's not like it matters much. Very few games even use the nub and the extra strength only matters for Monster Hunter, the Warriors games if you want to play the 3DS versions for whatever reason, and a couple others.
>>719891083You seem to think this is a gotcha but all you really did is show how stupid you are kid
>>719884029Just re-release the whole thing again ffs. Do they hate money? They would make trillions day 1. Heck, I would buy like 5 just because how amazing this console was and realized it so late.
Nintendo has FORGOTTEN the 3DS.>>719890196I was intrigued when I saw this announced but IIRC it was WAY more than $250. Like well north of $500 even.
>>719888513I got very lucky and ended up buying a refurb model right from Nintendo before they stopped selling them, got it for 80 bucks. I prefer the non xl tho, games look significantly more blurry on the xl.
>>719890874Compared to the GBA or N64 the 3DS is pretty recent, also Nintendo went after Citra last year
>>719891083>third party companiesNintendo is a child protective of their toys. Its not their part rather someone mimicking them. They be lucky if part makers dont get a DMCA
>>719884029Evil company.
>>719884029And the worst thing is that all 3ds emulation sucks ass and pretendo does not allow you to play online unless you own a 3ds
>>719891457Just wish I could find a decent grip for the non xl.
>>719891209It is literally 250 on their website. https://www.ayntec.com/products/ayn-thorYou might've confused it with Ayaneo Pocket DS
>>719891371>install a backlight mod and rechargable battery on my OG GBA>Nintendo ninja crashes through my windowI hate when that happens.
>>719884029I wonder if foreigners buying up used JP 3DSes made them surge in prices too. I can go to book off and get anything from a Famicom to Wii for less than $100 but 3DS are always 200+
>>719891526Indeed I did.
>>719891526>cheapest non-early bird version is $519Ok, now I'm curious about the specs and what it can do because that's expensive as fuck for a 3DS knockoff.
how the fuck nintendo got away with putting TWO different screens in some models and not shipping a charger?what in the fuck
>>719891534Should have gone with the SP mod anon.
I still think it's weird Nintendo figured out how to play GBA games on the 3DS then proceeded to only use it to reward people who paid too much at the start.Like literally every 3DS is capable of running those games yet no one can use them (officially) but that group of people.
>>719890628chinkheld shills are deluded indianscitra sucks to this day. it crashes on half the libraryplaying 3ds games without the 3d effect is a waste too btw. genuinely one of the dumbest fucking things you can do as a gorilla niggerr
>>719891815On the other hand, modding a 3DS is very easy and you can play GBA games natively on the console, so in one way or another, it was a win overall.
>>719891689It's basically a top-tier Android device with two screens. Ayaneo is known for their high prices.
>>719891858If you say this in any /vr/ handheld thread you'll make trannies hemorrhage, it's hilarious.
>>719885564>hardware dies>out of production>no more repair parts eitherthis is why we need emulation
>>7198918583D is a stupid gimmick that even Ninty abandoned since it only really could work well on N3DSXL. I stopped ever using 3D at all after like a couple years.
>>719884029Not many people were sending in their devices to nintendo for repairs anyway. Only time I sent something was for joycon drift. But almost everything else is out of warranty and I would sooner attempt repairs on my own. I've re-shelled old ds's or replaced batteries and screens before. And those secondhand parts are still gonna be available.
>>719892000Faggots like you are the people that killed the future of the tech. The 3d they used in the 3ds was legitimately incredible you piece of shit faggot, kys
>>719891858>playing 3ds games without the 3d effect is a waste too btw. genuinely one of the dumbest fucking things you can do as a gorilla niggerrBest post
>>719892205Fuck you faggot. It wasted the battery and dimmed the screen and had no actual bearing on gameplay besides depth perception in 3D Land. It was a superficial gimmick that only hurt the 3DS's price point. Gyro was a vastly superior feature.
>>719892559>Depth perception in immersive 3D experiences>superficial gimmickBLACKEST FUCKING GORILLA NIGGER
>>719885245The B button on my day one 3DS eventually stopped working. It was a motherboard problem. I kept the device in pristine condition. Sometimes parts are just faulty.
>>719885564That batch of pokémon oras carts was defective.
>>719893003>a whole one (1) game did anything of worth with it
>>719890398Fairly more ergonomic with the controls further up, and ironically easier to break. If only it didn't have mono audio and the N2DS stuck with something similar.
>>719892559>Muhhh battery uhhhhhh my screen uhhhhhFucking troglodyte >Gyro was vastly superior LMAOOOOOOOO
>>719895358Gyro aiming is good. I got far more utility out of that than a visual mode most games did absolutely nothing with.
>>719895358Considering gyro is still being used in Switch 2 because it actually has en effect on gameplay and 3D was completely ditched as the gimmick it is, yes, it IS vastly superior.
Should I start collecting them? I already have the one from childhood and a 2ds xl.
>>719896406yes and make sure to post your collection on reddit
>>719896709Heh. Already ahead of you.
>>719897265Why is Link so angry?
>>719890196>doesnt have cameraThe 3D QR codes won't work then
>>719897485What pussy do to a mf
>>719891858Do the chinkheld makers help develop the emulators at all?
>>719899031Lolno
>>719899031Why would they? They just put the hardware together and stick Android on it.
I already have two N3DS XL so I should be good for a while
>>719885564They're only dying if you never boot them up.
it's over. soulful gaming is officially dead
>>719893024I wonder what sales numbers would look like if they were produced again. It would show what the current demand actually is.
>>719892205I want to like the 3D but it's like the unlit screen fuckup for the GBA. It forced games to be designed in a certain way: early GBA games had shitty washed out colors and 3D 3DS games were really bright (see Ocarina 3D) because the 3D effect ghosts like hell with high contrast. Also ALBW is really screen crunched compared its predecessor ALTTP because the camera has to be close to the action for the 3D to be noticeable, in a top down game.
>>719893024Absolutely cheap. That's like almost a Nintendo Switch 2 game now.
>>719885245I've had two bloatmaxxed batteries in my 3DS already (cracking a back plate) and the circle pad doesn't like to register down anymore, and I don't play shitty games that require smashing the stick either. Through GBC to N3DS, N3DS has had the most problems for me by far
>>719900191Considering how long they were producing it into Switch's life probably not much. I think they stopped because demand was truly gone.
>>719886808>>719887924Sounds like classic fear mongering bunk. I just tried all the carts the article listed and they all booted up just fine.My Smash bros and Echoes game has most of the DLC too so extra points there.
>>719893024>2020trump virus and the Switch taking over the handheld market share that belonged to the 3DS.
>>719890196>$250 for a chinkheld version of a system that flopped so bad when it launched at $250 they had to price cut it 6 months laterLmao
>>719884029Who cares, you'll be able to play those games in true 3D on your VR headset
I'm good for now.But I'll need to buy replacement batteries since Bloating will be an issue. The 3DS I was using started to have it's battery swell but Nintendo was still selling them at the time.Also keeping an eye on the SD card because mine failed. I managed to salvage quiet a bit against all odds but still lost stuff like my monster hunt gen save since that's on the SD card for some reason.
Oh refurbished N3DSXL's actually aren't too bad price wise for something discontinued 5 years ago. Maybe I'll get one.
>>719902386Speaking about SD cards, what would be the best SD card I could buy for a 3DS? I believe mine currently has a 64GB one, but I remember hearing that with 128GB ones, the list of games loads very slowly on the home screen. That and my SD is surely almost 10 years old.
>>719902687It's read speed that's king, not size.
>>7199026873DS can't take advantage of the speed of any SD card made in the last decade, just get any old cheap SanDisk or Samsung and it will be five times faster than what the 3DS is capable of reading or writing
>>719888868That's the one I bought but I imported a bunch of faceplates because the ones it comes with are gay. I honestly regret not getting more faceplates they were worth a shitton a while back.
>>719891371>part makers>DMCAAnon, what does DMCA stand for again?
>>719890437>Bought a new one this yearI fell for this meme too. I bought a new in box n3DS and the screen was still yellowed despite being in a plastic sealed box.
>>719905959Shitty bro. Mine turned out alright
>collecting 3dsLmao, some of you guys really just have no clue what to do with your money. HahahahaHAHAHAH>investing in plasticHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
>>719901816>250 for a system that runs every game from the advent of video games until Switch and Android (included)Lmao indeed.
>>719902687Amazon has their own series of Samsung cards, get those. All you need.
>>719906772>InvestingWho said investing? It's just fun to collect. You sound extremely poor. I'd suggest getting a degree
>>719906772>wasting precious finite internets with pointless opinonsOh yeah, you should absolutely tell everyone about wastage, you salad dodging fuck. Bet you never wasted a pizza in your life though have you? Fat cunt.
>>719907525>>719907568>samefagging this hard>coping this muchHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I dusted off my 3DS earlier this year to play Persona Q and realized that the game didn’t work anymore because of a manufacturing issue :(
>>719907676>tranime
>>719907805tranime site, tendie
>>719907805go back
>>719907676>doesn't even deny itfat cunt
>>719907938>so upset xe's hobby got laughed at xir needs to throw out baseless insultsHHHHHHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
idc nowdays i play 3ds games on citra unless the game is touchscreen-heavy or a 2d game then i whip out my 3DS
So what's the next step for 3ds games? Azahar is still fucking laggy and unstable at times, micro-stuttering and input lag is very noticeable. Even on the best rigs some issues pop-up.New Leaf is still everyone's favourite Animal Crossing. And it's stuck in that piece of shit overpriced console.
>>719893169Did you fix it? Because that's like the easiest thing ever to fix on a 3ds.
>>719907676predictable faggot L
>>719908756Even worse, there are at least two full blown tendies talking about their 3ds collection...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>719885564FUCK I just checked and my copy of Majora's Mask 3D won't show up anymore when I put it in the card slot
>>719907938Uh oh! Meltie!
>>719906772>>719907676>>719907805
>>719885245What's it like walking to work every day?
>>719908956Brutal backpedle. Thank you for conceding embarrassing anon!
>>719884029I assume the Japanese New 3DS XLs are able to be modded into English right? They're $100 cheaper than the US models and I really don't wanna spend more than $200 bucks on one of these.
>>719909335You have to go through a whole ordeal to swap the language, there isn't really a point when you just open the game you want.
>>719891371We had a Supreme Court case about this in the 1950s, car company tried to sue a 3rd-party who made replacement convertible tops, they ruled that was BS and you're allowed to make replacement parts for another company's products without their permission.
>>719909146Norm would have called you a faggot for having a 3ds collection
>>719909401>there isn't really a point when you just open the game you want.I'm honestly a dunderhead. I didn't even think about that. Don't know why I thought US games wouldn't work unless you changed it.
>>719909401>A while ordealNigga, use Google translate and change the language what are you doing lmao
>>719909504Norm's dead, and I'm laughing at your butthurt.
>>719909504You're seething so hard after getting btfo lmfao
>>719909618>call someone fat after they make fun of your hobby>LOL OWNEDtendies are so out of touch
>>719909504>Dead man with largely unknown personal life shares my opinion.Wow how convenient. I heard before he died that he thought shitposting on a venetian nut roasting forum was a good use of one's life.
>>719902687>, but I remember hearing that with 128GB ones, the list of games loads very slowly on the home screenAt 128gb you start noticing slow down, so that's the recommended size anything above it's the issue. Another problem is the 300 tile limit, but I think there's already a way to surpass it.
>>719909546Go ahead, show me any Japanese 3dsxl being changed to English via the system settings. I'll be here calling these tendies faggots.
>>719909865Not the anon you were talking to. Fucking lmao you're so butthurt. Just take the L bud
>>719909618Don't engage, is the Macaco. He got his ass blasted the entire week and his Anti-Nintendo threads are only him samefagging. He's trying to derail, as always.
>>719910062https://youtu.be/g2nLCqA3Vnc3 minutes of your time
>>719910242Wow, this seems a whole lot more involved than using google translate to navigate to the settings! Almost sort of...an ordeal?
>>719910389If this legitimately is an ordeal to you I don't know what to tell you, you may be retarded. Homebrew on a 3ds is the easiest shit ont be planet, and changing the region is a nothing burger. Maybe you should just stick to you chinkshit handhelds?
>>719910641My 3ds is already modded, why would I deal with all that just to change the language? Nigga you just tap on a game and start playing, they're region free.
>>719904192I like smiling Isabelle, you fucking tryhard.
>>719890196>$250>No 3DHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>719889775Too bad the tech to comfy maxxx a 2DS had been lost forever.
>>719910897>anon hasn't heard of 3d printersDamn, some of you live in the stone age.
>>719902687I don't think you need anything huge. Seeing people have ten gorillion games installed at once is always silly to me, just download what you know you'll actually play and then when you're done with it delete it and install something else
>>719909941The funny thing is there's no way to know if Norm would agree with him, more than Norm hated pretentious fucks like him. And OJ was clearly the killer.
>>719910849>310 used>No 3DOOHOHOHOHO
>>719911285The glove didn't fit
>>719911295>Gamestop
>>719910952I've ordered almost a dozen different 3D-printed things in the last few years, from miniatures to SD card slots for modded consoles to full scale replicas of video game weapons. The thing they all have in common is they feel like shit to touch because of how they're printed. No 3D-printed handles for a controller accessory is going to feel good for extended play compared to smoother plastic. That kind of tech isn't cheap enough for your average Etsy store.
wish I had one of these
>>719885376The entire DS family is fucking cancer to repair anything that requires access to those godawful hinges. I can and have many times but I wouldn't wish that on anyone
I still have the original shiny blue one and I'll never get rid of it. It has too many memories associated with it. Yes I'm a zoomerfaggot
>thread is just zoomers suffering from fomo on electronics they didn't care about a few years ago. Sad! >>719911616I test printed one with a matte filament that I use specifically for test prints and it felt horrible on the hands. Like it was just ripping any moisture from my skin. Reprinted it in a different filament and it feels great. This might not be offered at wherever you're ordering them. Sorry bro.
>>719911630You can find them a lot cheaper on sites like Buyee, oftentimes with the box and extras.
>>719911616That's because you're ordered from a business, they care about one thing only -- getting the prints out of the door as fast as possible. You can get results close to an injection molded by dialing in settings, using the right orientation, filament, ironing. Not as good as injection molding, but very close. But you have to put time and effort into it.
Thank god I still have my N3DS. Outside of the avg wear and tear, its still in great shape.
>>719910750Yeah you just sound lazy as fucking hell idk lmao. Shit takes like not time or energy
>>719912214That's not even close to the point. Someone asked about it, I said they didn't need it because it was an extra process. You decided to chime in >lol just change it in the settingswhen you found out that wasn't possible, suddenly all of this is equivalent to just going into the settings. Seems a bit disingenuous.
Should I jailbreak my Switch to play 3DS games since I already have a Switch 2 (and a Legion Go)? Citra works inconsistenly on my phone.
>>719912361>When I found it wasn't possible????? You're actually so fucking stupid hahaha
>>719912515>still can't show me where I can change my jp n3dsll to English in the settings I accept your concession.
>>719912676>I accept your concession.Yeah man I guess you're right! There's no possible way to do it! Enjoy your impossibly region locked 3ds, there's just no possible way!
>>719912465Switch isn't powerful enough to emulated 3DS games.
>>719912786>region lockedI already said it wasn't, you're so angry you can't remember what we've discussed. LOL!
>>719912837What would I be mad about? I have a Japanese 3ds that I changed to english, it isn't a big deal, but I guess when you have lukewarm iq everything is a big trial. Good luck!
