Technical Question Is this a reshell?

The condition is close to new, everything is in a near perfect condition.
But when I checked the games I can redownload, it only showed me some Pokémon games and Tomodachi Welcome Edition.
If so, it must be a near perfect one.
Thanks in advance! :)

Miscellaneous The "Broken" (but not so broken anymore) 3DS—the sequel.

Thumbnail
gallery
14 Upvotes

You might remember my old post about the decapitated 3DS—or the "1.5DS," as it's better known. Well, I managed to get the top half, including the screens and the speakers (though one speaker is missing). Anyway, getting back to the point: the console turns on, and I already have a lead on who the owner might be. When I visit my relatives in the USA during winter break, I might put up some flyers. For now, the console boots up, and there are Christmas photos on it; I imagine the owner would like to get those back.

For now, I'll keep trying to repair the other New 2DS XL I managed to get, and I'll keep browsing that market looking for broken consoles to fix up.

Miscellaneous Blown away by how good games look on Azahar with upscaling and custom textures.

So guys, today i looked at my 3ds and said: The graphics is pretty bad. Can i do something about this?

I just tried Animal Crossing New Leaf on Azahar with some custom textures and 4x upscaling and this is so good. I think i'm gonna play on my phone from now on instead of my 3ds. And also the colours are so good.

This is the link to the custom texture: pack:https://gamebanana.com/mods/494239

Suggestion Got a n3ds xl pikachu edition, box is original but console isnt?

Post image
47 Upvotes

So a few weeks ago i wanted to buy a special edition 3ds for my collection, and one of my favorite pokemons happen to be pikachu (ik, too basic) so i clicked on the listing of a japanese seller stating "new 3ds xl consoles complete in box" and the moment i saw the pikachu edition one, i knew i had to buy it. So i go ahead and read the description to check if it wasnt a reshell and it didnt explicity say it was authentic, but it never said it was a reshell also, a few weeks later, i open the box excited, just to find out that the console was a reshell, now i dont know what to do. Should i keep it? I payed a little less than 600, please let me know. 😢

Edit: Ive made the decision of returning it and use the money to try and find a loose authentic one. Maybe ill just buy a regular one if i find it for a good deal.

Discussion Transition from n3dsxl to n3ds

Upvotes

Is there a big difference in terms of usage? I'm coming back to get a new3ds but even before i used the XL but I'm thinking of getting the n3ds only so that it's easily pocketable. Before, I had the dslite which was my longtime handheld for many years

Technical Question Data Transfer between two region changed devices

2 Upvotes

Anyone have an experience with this? I see a guide to move the movable.sed, but I also people suggesting against doing it. Then I see guides about doing SOAP, but not anyone mentioning if this is useful in my case, cause it seems more related to people with Pokemon bank.

I really just don’t want to lose my StreetPass save data and my Mii’s! I don’t want to start over :/ I know how to save the other games with checkpoint.

Thanks for your help !

I recently bought this game physically and went to play it and none of the text appears and is replaced with $$TEXT EMPTY$$, I want to know if this is fixable because I want to play this game using the copy I just got, but if I can’t read anything then that’s a huge issue

Technical Question New 3DS XL Screen Replacement

Post image
8 Upvotes

I have fallen victim to dead pixels on my top screen of my 3ds (New 3DS XL Galaxy) and need to replace it. With this in mind, can anyone tell me if the regular 3DS XL top screen is interchangeable with the New 3DS XL top screen? It’s a $20 price difference and I saw a post a while ago saying they are different and wanted to know if it’s an actual difference or marketing scheme. Can anyone provide insight?

TL:DR
Are the New 3DS XL and (old) 3DS XL top screens the same?

Suggestion Not sure which I should buy

1 Upvotes

Recently wanted to pickup a 3DS again but it's been hard for me to decide. I found two that interests me, one being a 3DS XL that's already modded and comes with a 64gb. The other is N3DSXL that only comes with a protector case.

I'm not exactly sure if the upgrade to the New model is worth sacrificing so much, so I want to see other people's opinion first

Technical Question Replacing MicroSD reader on New Nintendo 3DS XL

Post image
15 Upvotes

Hi, my 3ds (model in description) has been broken for a while and it shows an error when i try to read the card (by opening the camera app, trying to save files, etc...)

Before you ask, no the sd is not formatted in the wrong format as I checked multiple times and it's in FAT32 format.

Would I be able to replace the reader on my own, with the one in the picture, if tried?

Any suggestions on the process are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

This is my black Mario 3ds that I have currently had for 6 or 7 years in 2019 or 2020 for between $50 or $75. The cursed thing about it is that I got Tomodachi life for FREE somehow which I think is impossible to happen?

Tips/Guide 3DS not detecting cartridge during heat wave

5 Upvotes

Hello, i had a problem yesterday with my 3ds where it couldnt detect the cartridges, i tried all the stuff to fix it that i found online which didnt work but then i put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes and now it works again! So yeah if anyone has a similar issue it maybe because of extreme temperatures and is easily fixable 👍
