does anybody else collect handheld consoles? which DS do you like to use the most?
I got a red DS with MKDS for Christmas 2005.
i played my cobalt blue ds lite the most
For me, I think DS Lite is best for DS games. DSi for DSiWare and Filpnote Hatena (sudomemo FTW! xD) n3DS for 3DS gameswhen traveling I use the n3DS for everything because it's convenient and DS games don't look bad compared to the 3DS XL or 2DS XL. >>737859672How did the screens hold up? My fat DS isn't looking too good. Luckily my DS Lite looks pristine.
>>737859540I love the fat one that tries to look futuristic, the overly simplified ones look like shit
>>737859540The original feels the best to me. Least ghosting / yellowing, comfy in the hands, great buttons, GBA games don't stick out
>>737859974That one feels good in my hands. I would probably use it a lot more if the screens weren't so shit. Maybe I should find cheap screen replacements on one of those chink sites.
>>737860045But the fat DS is so DIM. And mine is pretty yellow compared to my other DS consoles. Maybe I'm unlucky.
>>737860136Kinda, but later firmware models could be flashed to be somewhat brighter and I find that the less saturated colors lend themselves better to the GBA library. It's down to personal preference though
I miss it
I've heard DSI XL is best for ds games like hg/ssI don't own one, I still have an original somewhere and some ds lites in poor condition. I left video games for a while in like 2013 or so and looking at the new 2sd xl and the new new 3ds xl or w/e it is called is just shocking to me haha, what are they?
>>737860453>I've heard DSI XL is best for ds games like hg/ssspecifically for those games? why? i don't own one but from seeing my friends' dsi xls i feel like it stretches the tiny resolution too muchi always avoided the XL models because of that. the only one I have is the 2DS XL because i wanted the dragon quest metal slime edition.
I just bought a DSPico to replace my R4i+ flashcart and it's pretty neat so far. Kinda gay that the hybrid firmware doesn't work on an unmodded DSi/3DS but that's not a big deal I suppose.
>>737861030i heard its because the screens are huge and pixel perfect in resolution so HG/SS look best on the DSI XL. And the screens also are viewable from any angle so games look bright and nice. That's what I heard. But yeah other people think it may stretch the games too much. I'd probably be fine with it though. >dragon quest metal slimeit's amazing how iconic that creature is
>>737859540DSi for the PPI and build qualityo3DS for the 5000mah battery replacement (it lasts a whole week for me with 3D on and standby)
>>737859540Hero op, I got a ds lite that I fucking love and think the lcd is gorgeous, but I accidently dropped it on concrete one day and the speakers got blown, but nothing else is wrong. Think it's worth it to repair? I miss playing pokemon heart gold on it so much. Been years since I've turned it on.
Day 1 pokemon pearl with the gamestop exclusive stylus and the guidebook is one of my cherished memories. Especially since most of my school friends did the same. It was the only time I ever experienced peak pokemon with trading and battling with people irl. I know DP suck ass but its very nostalgic
>>737862430I still think back fondly on dp era. The old evos getting finals was long awaited kino.
>>737862430that's a great experience to have
>>737859540I'm still mad I talked myself out of getting the orange/white 2DS at launch. I am jailbreaking my old DSi and plan to give it to my niece.
>>737862284>Think it's worth it to repair?depends, how risky is the repair? if you think you might break something i'd just stick to headphones
>>737862430was it this book? i had it too
>>737859540Which one has the best button durability? I'm afraid of playing anything but pokemon on my regular XL because I don't want to wear out my L+R buttons like I did with all my DS Lites. Is the 2DS good?
>>737859540I bought myself a new 3ds xl because I had too much disposable income and gave my original 3ds to my sister, but I kinda wish I didn't. The OG 3DS got that soul that the new xl doesn't.
>>737864347Same person, but also my OG phat DS from like 2005 is in bad shape. I think the connection between the bottom and top halves is fucked. If I'm not perfectly still the top screen will glitch out and freeze whatever game I'm playing.
I had a phat DS, skipped the Lite, and got a DSi. I used it so much that Mega Man Zero Collection ended up fucking up my L button a bit.Used to use the web browser to go to mibbit to log onto IRC in bed. I also jacked off to the chick from Mighty Flip Champs.
>>737859672My first DS was the classic silver in 2004, but I didn't get a DS game until 2005 when I got Mario 64 DS, before that I only played my old GBA games on the DS.Then I accidentally left it in a taxi in 2006 and had to wait until 2007 to get a Lite.
>>737859540I don't because nigger ass collectors have ruined anything that isn't modern consoles/handhelds. Broke ass faggots want you to pay $150+ for some dingy ass banged up PSP/3DS that has scratches and scuffs and is only useable for fucking parts. Shit is an absolute joke.
>>737859540i miss my fat ds, my dog pissed all over it and it broke
>>737867043>sister left my fat ds in a puddle of water on nightstand at hotel>wouldn't turn on>suddenly worked a couple years later when i turned it onhell yeah>>737862430>>737864101i had diamond and the dp pokedex book. i let a friend borrow it at school and the fat fuck stole some pages out of it kek
