I found these sealed in my room but my 3DS top screen is broken right now. Would they be worth fixing my screen to play or should I just get rid of them? I usually play my DSi now so I’m not sure if it’s worth the fuss. Were these fun?

Technical Question Charging port on my old 3DS has been broken for years, is it worth it to get it fixed?

Thumbnail

87 Upvotes

I recently found my old 3DS, and I went to see about getting it fixed about 7 years ago, and they told me it would be cheaper to just get a refurbished one instead. The thing is, I have a lot of memories on my 3DS that I don’t know if they’re on my SD card or not (I don’t believe they are). Is it worth it to try and find someone who can fix it, is it fixable (it’s been sitting in a car for five years in various weather conditions), and how much would I be looking at if it’s fixable?

EDIT: Definitely going to look into getting a charging block and trying that first, thank you all for your comments and advice, I will update once it’s working again and this is resolved!

Looking to play some more games with my 2DS. Anyone got any ideas where I can get more games that'd be up my alley for a good price? This is for both DS and 3DS because both are compatible.

Latest additions to my collection were Stella Glow, Heroes of Ruin, Bravely Default, and Dragon Booster for only $90...

Quite a shame, I used to use it a lot. No matter what I do, it always redirects me to a login page, which the 3DS can't fully load.

Suggestion Are sellers like this safe or a scam?

I'm looking to buy a New 3DS XL or LL, I'm looking on ebay and i stumbled upon several of professional sellers like this that have a lot of 3DSs and other consoles from japan. I know that japanese consoles are less expensive but those prices seems too god to be true to me, and sometimes they also offer free return and a surprisingly fast shipping from japan.
I know they have a lot of positive reviews and feedback but I've never bought anything on ebay and I fear I may be scammed.

So... my sister stole my 3DS a few years back, and i wanna get a new one. Problem is, i've heard DKOldies is absolute garbage.

Is there any other sites that have a decent price? Or should I just say "fuck it" and buy that Thor thing everyone's talking about?

Technical Question Bottom screen on new 3ds not showing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

12 Upvotes

Hello I just got done taking apart and putting back together my new 3ds to replace the joystick as it was sticking. I went to turn the device on for the first time (it is modded) and only the top screen came on. As far as I am aware I didint touch any ribbon cables related to the bottom screen, as I didint take it that far apart. I followed a Ifixit guide that Ill link later but I put everything back to my knowledge. I will note that the bottom screen is on (the backlight) but its just showing a black screen. It is still responsive to touch as well just isint showing what it should. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The pins look decent, they are a little worn but look better than some of my other games that I bought second hand. I have tried cleaning everything gently with %90 iso (both the slot and the cart itself) but nothing has worked. Is the game toast? I know I can just play the digital copy but this is an expensive game so I would rather have it working than not 😅

Hey everyone, does anybody have any good replacement shell links for the new 3ds. The shell on mine is starting to crack. Every time I look for replacement shells for new 3ds, I find plate covers for the new 3ds, or replacement shells for new 3ds xl/ll.

Anyone have a link for new 3ds? Thanks in advance :)

Discussion What made DS games special?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

So I'd love to hear some thoughts and opinions on something I feel quite passionate about! Im a long time DS fan, and recently picked up my DS Lite again. I own numerous 3DS consoles and a really decent sized library, and I also own a good chunk of original DS game.

I recently played through Another Code on the DS Lite and it just brought back such a magical feeling. It was also wildly refreshing to finish a game in around 5/6 hours and not be pulled into a 70 hour drag.

What specifically do you think made DS and 3DS games so special? How often do you still play DS games?

Technical Question Some questions about hinges and sleep mode

2 Upvotes

First of all: Should I REALLY be afraid of the hinge on the old XL "eventually exploding" or is it worth the fairly reduced price? Will it be alright if I just be gentle, try not to constantly flick it open with my thumb, and put it in a hinged case? Are there any cases that actually provide structural support or are they mostly just for preventing scratches?

And second of all: An XL I returned recently had a problem I really haven't found much help on. Instead of being stuck in sleep mode (more common, I think), mine wouldn't go into sleep mode. The screens and speakers stayed on when closed, and putting a magnet near the sensor didn't do anything. Is there a particular reason for that, on the slim chance it ever happens again? Is there any intuitive way to fix it?
