Feels like the backseat is still the best place to play some GTA.

Waiting on my partner to complete responsibilities at the revenue office. I decided to get some back seat nostalgia. 😌

I posted this a week ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/nds/s/06BDjPg5wU saying it cost $285. That was another order that costs $285, this one is $130.

Basically under $1 a game. I read through everyone’s comments (love the feedback and advice) and it looks like there’s some keepers like Power Pros, Nintendogs, Monster Hunter, smash, Mario tennis, Mario basketball, Mariokart, tomodachi collection, Game Center CX, JUMP!, Kirby, AKB48, and some other gems. And yes, I plan on selling the rest to make my money back or better.

….the other order with the gameboy games for $285… well there’s other DS/3DS games but I think I’m cooked on that order lol let’s not talk about that one, ok?

Making it the best travel companion possible. I loaded thousands of mp3's onto the SD, Moonshell media player, all the Nintendo Libraries and also Sega Genesis and Mega Drive. Even put a little picture of me and my daughters for the Twighlight Menu background.
I'm going to change the battery in the DS to a more upgraded version as I've heard the original batteries can be a bit unstable. Gonna have to do a bit of studying up on that first. I do have a spare DS that i believe to have a new battery in it so probably just a case of swapping them over.
Kept me busy for a few hours and I seem to enjoy setting up consoles more than playing them at times lol

I have a New 3DS XL already but I've been on the hunt for a reasonably priced DSi XL for a little while and I recently found one.

For pricing scale in Australia, New 3DS XL is going for about $400+ on the second hand market while DSi XL's can be found for $200-$250 in varying qualities.

Picked up the one pictured with games, Pokemon case and a charger, bartered the seller down to $130. It was a bit dusty and missing the stylus but I've given it a clean, the screens are in good condition and the casing has some splotching but otherwise its well kept. Got some screen protectors, a more practical case and a 3rd party stylus on the way in the post!

I posted an earlier version of this yesterday, in r/pokemon.
The short version of it is, that I miss physical games.
Newer games these days, typically require a connection to work.
And are partially or fully downloaded to the system.
The cartridge for some Switch2 games, doesn't even hold data anymore.
So I looked back to when internet was not required, and rarely even possible.
I expanded my list of games from my previous post.
Games that I would like to get someday.
The yellow outlined & whitened games, are the ones I already own.
The rest I either remember playing but not own, or would like to play someday.
Currently, I have 45 games listed here.

I am looking for suggestions / hidden gems to add.

I picked this up for $10 at my local swap meet. It had a broken hinge, otherwise, it's fine.

I ended up reshelling it. The buttons that came with the new shell were pretty poor quality, so I decided to reuse the original ones instead.

I think it turned out pretty nice! 🙌

Recently bought a DS Lite, and the shell is fine--but I don't know if I really like the color? How are the quality of the extremerate shells--are they fine enough to justify getting one of their shells just for a new color?

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I have a Nintendo DS Lite that had been sitting unused in a drawer for many years. At first, it wouldn’t turn on at all—only the power LED would light up, both when charging and when trying to power it on. I then carefully opened it up and disconnected and reconnected all of the ribbon cables and connectors before putting it back together.
Since then, it powers on and both screens light up, but I’m now experiencing several issues:
The DS makes a loud buzzing/humming noise.
The touchscreen does not respond at all.
The bottom screen has black horizontal lines.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this or how I could troubleshoot and fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I looked on amazon and a few other places for r4 cards and a micro sd card and they are rlly expensive for some reason. I dont really know what to get specifically since a lot of posts say different things about what the requirements are for some games. Is it possible to just get a 200 in 1 game card, remove all the contents inside and use that instead or should i stick to getting a r4 card and micro sd.

Looking for game suggestions

is there somewhere you guys buy a top screen replacement because i cant find anywhere in shopee or lazada a refutable seller of a replacement screen is there a store anywhere where they replace the screen or sell the part? thank you in advance!

Any recommendations on which to play first?

recently bought this for around 17 dollars and is there a solution for this issue? thank you in advance!

Im planning on reshelling my DSlite with rosepink, the speakers still work, but the buttons have delayed/missing imputs, which could be due to dirt. i want to do the shell replacement and cleaning at the same time, now the speakers still work on this DSlite. but they're prone to breaking. has anyone made a better speaker for the DSlite? i don't rlly wanna open it back up once i reshelled it.

I bought a blue DSi, but it's damaged and worn out. I wanted to replace it, but they don't sell them on Mercado Libre, and while they have them on AliExpress, they're not in the color I want. Where do you guys buy your DS cases and accessories?
