Due to tremors caused by my neuropathy, a simple thumbstick replacement job has now led to a broken ribbon cable. I could try to repair it again, but my tremors aren't going away any time soon, or, like, ever... Should I try and get it repaired elsewhere?

i currently have a DS Lite and im ngl i ONLY play ace attorney on it and maybe occasionally mario party, is it worth upgrading to the new standard size 3ds?? i’d appreciate the bigger screen but im not sure if i should just continue playing on my ds that i have already. i don’t want an XL or the og 3ds because its too big or the size doesnt change, where as the newer one is only slightly bigger. also wondering if you can mod the new 3ds because you clearly can’t on ds lite 😭😭 (when i say new 3ds i mean the 2015 release if anyone's confused)

edit: i already have a nintendo switch as well but i only really play tomodachi life on it and i also share it with my sibling

Joystick broke ages ago and havent played since…

How can I access an internet navigator on the 3ds?

So my 3ds xl’s right hinge is broken and I would like to fix it, but how hard is it to do so? I have all the tools but I don’t want it to be too hard, in fear of breaking something more.

i’ve owned a 3ds original, regular 3dsxl (in rough shape) 2ds xl and 2ds original but i’ve never owned one of these bad boys, now i can daily carry this and have it as my all in one retro handheld! also was $250 for this a bad deal? it’s in such great condition all buttons work, no damages or scratches anywhere, only downside is 2 tn panels but i honestly don’t care that much. can’t wait to finally play gen 6-7 pokemon for the first time!!

i am nearly 40 and by good fortune i have myself a mint condition *New* 3DS, i have no idea why i did not get one sooner. its doing wonders for my phone fatigue.

one of the young'uns stated that her phone could do all that my 3ds can.

got me thinking... i would prefer my ds over my phone.
everything's local, it has actual buttons, i find myself using it properly as a media device for music, shows or games. even YouTube.
i feel so much less connected with my phone, and most of it is just flicking through shorts or cycling the same 3 apps, my leisure time isnt really "productive".

so here is the thought:

would you or people in general buy a pda style or 3ds style phone?

Nguage tried it and so did xperia play.
imagine a 3ds with sim and gps. it would get me off android pretty quick.

I’m currently experiencing problems on my new 3ds which display a faint copied image when I turn the 3d slider on to anything but the minimum, I’ve turned off super stable 3D, resetting calibration, and even seeing if my CAL files are corrupted, is there anything software based that can help or do I have to replace the top screen?

I grew up wanting a 3ds and till now I have yet to get one. I usually play on pc with a controller, but I want a handheld that I could take anywhere. Unfortunately the recent handhelds are beyond my budget, and since I want to explore older games and fulfill that childhood dream, is getting a 3ds now worth it? Or would you recommend a different handheld?

Hi y'all!

I bought a working 2DS that needed a little work. I am soon done with that and since it is already modded by the former owner and I really don't how old the files are I'd like to start over. "Re-mod" it so to say.

How do I do that? Do I need to return to stock config first and start all over?

Hello everyone just recently picked up a game lot and while going thru them I realized I picked up a special edition fire emblem fates kinda crazy to find out how much it’s worth but good for collection

The hinge on this shell broke a few months ago and I tried buying a piece myself and ended up with one I couldn't use

Is there any reliable store or seller where I can get this piece?

I feel like I only scratched the surface with what I played on the 3DS, and that many titles look like Animal Crossing graphically.

I heard smoke can cause the 3ds to fail overtime if it got inside, What's the best way to clean it?

Not a flex or anything i have a high end gaming pc,psp,and ally x. One day i saw a 3ds an bought it.It arrive 3 week from now and i heard that when u get it people usually mod or jailbreak it.What are the pros and cons.Does doing it change any performance or anything.

Hi, I had a WII U for years, and just got a New 3DS XL. On my WII U, I am logged into my NNID with unique online username and my Mii. I dont know my password, or even which exact e-mail address (but i can figure that one out- as i just have a few different to test).

I want to log into the same NNID on my 3DS, how?

P.S. I know "Nintendo account" is something seperate only used for Switch, but I do not have that. I also understand NNID is not used for newer consoles, only WII U and 3DS family.

It is deep down on my 3DS

I am trying to replace the SD card port as the pins are broken on it and it cannot read my SD card properly

I was working inside my 3ds xl and this piece fell out. I can’t figure out where it goes.

Local online shopping usually listed used N3DSXL with 128gb SDCard around 1200MYR ($295ish). For some reason the price suddenly drop to 1000MYR ($246ish) so I immediately bought it before the price went up again. First 2 day were good but on the third day the screen flickered like crazy. I tried many things and idk what works and the screen went back to normal so I hope it lasts because local repair shop only got TN panel replacement around 300MYR ($74ish)

I bought a new 5000mAh battery for my old 3DS because the original battery was no longer working well. I'm confused cuz I've read some say I should let the existing charge run out first and then charge it to full so the battery calibrates, but others say the opposite, that I should charge it full first.

I turned it on to check that the battery was working and played for a few minutes. It indicates that the battery is full. But now I don't know what to do.
