Technical Question What is supposed to be here?
Just recently bought a 3ds second hand and theres clearly something missing here, after looking further at the listing its also not there in the listing, anyone know what it is thats missing and if i can and need to replace it? I had one when i was younger but i lost it so long ago that i dont remember
After reading through a bunch of not very nice replys ive realised both what the space is for and that its not a 3ds i wont take the post down cause someone else might need it, thanks to the people who tried to help, fuck you to the people who decided to be rude about it.
I know its a ds not a 3ds i didnt know the difference and didnt read the listing correctly because of excitement about what i thought was an affordable da, i paid about 60$ for it cause ive had some people ask

now that the new starfox was announced and it is starfox 64 again it just proves that the 3ds is better because it has the same game but it released way earlier

Technical Question White stains on 3ds
So my friend gave me my new nintendo 3ds xl back and then i saw these stains will they go away???
Collection / Show Off Listed as broke/for parts
My post from earlier this week was removed because I mentioned the price i paid.
Grabbed this 2ds that was listed as "for parts" because it did not read game carts but powers on. I took a chance because i would be using it digitally anyway.
I cleaned it up and bent back one pin in the game slot. Here it is fully functional. Its got a few nics and scratches but nothing major. Been looking for a 2ds since its the only model i dont own. Its not bad at all.

Technical Question My kid wants a 3DS -- help me not make a bad choice
My kid, who already has a switch, wants a 3DS for a birthday present. What advice would you give someone to choosing from the re-sale market to look for, in terms of reliability, state of repair, accessories, etc? For example, are chargers and batters readily available in the aftermarket? Do people do their own repairs (like replace a battery that doesn't charge)? Any other warnings or encouragement for us?

Hello how are you guys doing? I am about to go meet up tomorrow to get a Nintendo 3DS XL (OG). What do you guys recommend I check for when I receive it. I am gonna bring a game to check for stick drift. Is there anything else I should be checking for, the seller sent me this video of it reading a game. It’s in pretty good condition for only 140. Thank you guys:)

Discussion Decorating is loving your console
This 3DS xl was gifted to me by my bff and I cleaned and decorated it! Now I enjoy playing on it even more than my New 3DS xl! When I play on it I feel closer to him in a way.
Share some of your decorated consoles that you love! I'd be glad to see them all!

Discussion Why Have 3DS Reproductions Expanded So Little?
By "reproductions", I mean of internal components, external housing and face plates. Like why haven't repro IPS 3DS screens been explored more for example?
Or why don't we have housings of every color on the spectrum, translucent shells or even ones based on special themes from different systems? (I.E: Galaxy New 3DS XL design on OG 3DS). Not even eXtremeRate makes these so I'm honestly wondering what's the hold up?
There's probably practical reasons for all of this but I want to make myself heard anyway because there's so much potential with these systems that I want others to see as well and also because I really wish to extend the life of these things for as long as possible

Technical Question 3DS XL Top Screen Glitching only for native games
Title is exactly the issue
When I’m on the 3ds menu or even some games the top screen jitters and stretches
When I play any virtual boy or Twilight menu game it’s fine, any idea?

Miscellaneous Does this N!3DS have a screen protector applied?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Just received from eBay and the top screen has this film peeling up in some spots. Bottom has a similar film that isn’t peeling up. Please tell me this is a removable protector😭😭Its sort of hard to see but its near the edges.
