BASED I still have my green 3ds
Looking to sell my O3DS and upgrade. Is the N3DSXL worth $20 more or should I just get the N2DSXL?
Any hidden SNES gems I should emulate?
Wish the US got more plain colors for the New 3DS XL. Japan, Europe and Australia got orange, pink and metallic blue while all we got was red, black and an annoyingly bright lime green
And people wonder why I got the black and blue New 2DS XL
I loved the green. because it came with my favorite mario game for free
I have an old 2DS and am pretty much playing it everyday. Would I benefit that much from upgrading to a N3DS? As far as I know the only exclusive game to the N3DS is Xenoblade, right?
>tfw 21 year old living with parents
>Dad won't let me buy a 3ds because "it's for babies, you have a ps4, pc and phone already"
Hadn't touched my 3DS since summer last year, but AC7 made me want more, so I restarted Assault Horizon Legacy. Two days later, and I'm on my third NG+,
Tell him to suck a fart out of a corpse
Also r8 my 2ds
Well, he's right.
Got the N2DSXL and playing Link Between Worlds now, damn it feels good to be a 3DS chad.
does a normal 3ds even exist? I mean not XL
yeah, depends your country you can get one for 60bucks
fuck yeah
Trying to collect enough materials to craft a cold beakblade in Ever Oasis after I do my participation battles in USUM for my shiny Fini prize
Fuck Jackpines, Trummies, and Broodness
Special Edition/10. Should have gotten the blue and black chad
There's a normal new one meaning non xl screens but with the little camera nub
Recent owner of a 2DS XL and I'm glad I did. After hacking it I realized just how many good ass games are on here that I've never played, or the best versions of certain games (Shovel Knight). On top of that being able to load NDS & GBA ROMs, it doesn't need emulation because it has most wortwhile portable platforms in one. I have a Vita too for some emulation and those games. Getting a 2DS has dropped my recent steam playtime to 0 hours. Oh and getting an extendable stylus has been a godsend because the stylus that comes with this sucks ass
>but muh TN screens and floppy cheap build!!!
Fantasy Life worth it?
Seems like an autistic grinding game to fill a void.
Um hmm
build quality isnt bad outside of objectively being plastic. the weight being distributed to the bottom rather equal like normal 3DS models is great. I have my friends 3DS XL and the weight distribution is retarded. Also TN vs IPS has been a meme the last like 3 years. the later TN panels nintendo have been using are fine
That's exactly what it is.
I broke my bottom screen LOL, I was playing fucking yugioh, fucking yugioh of all things and the enemies deck pissed me the fuck off and I threw my phone and it hit my 3DS and broke the bottom screen. Half of it is usable but eh whatever. I’ll be buying a replacement to fix it soon. I have 2 hacked 3DS’. What are your guys’ hacked/unhacked setups are looking like?
How are the speakers on the New 2DS?
So if my Gamestop has a used one for 109, should I do it or should I get a newer on for MSRP at Target or whatever?
Also is muh tinny palm speakers also a meme?
The speakers aren't bad unless you're deaf or cover them up you just gotta learn how to have it sort of hang in your hands
I would ask to physically look at it first. if they have both a New2DSXL and New3DSXL just get a feel for them both and see which one you prefer. It's honestly personal preference. I don't think the New 3DS's are worth the extra $40-$50
Nice that's exactly what I was looking for.
Playing alliance alive, so far the game is pretty nice, a fair step up from legend of legacy and the skill learning system is a bit less confusing
Also as for 2DS XL if theres a purple one just buy it if you don't care about color. The newest and probably last model, it can't be older than like 8 months old. Speaker suck ass but I use headphones
get one refurbished straight from nintendo on ebay for $99. they're basically new.
I did that. Wasn't able to see it turned on and the top shell had a scuff on the textured black (though who says I wouldn't get that on a brand new one after a month anyway?) plus they had the black N3DSXL for the same price. Also couldn't see it turned on and wow that's heavy by comparison. Love the easily accessible battery on the 3ds but love the SD/Gamecard cover on 2DS. And the blue black color>plain black. How would I even make a N3DSXL look better? They stink colorwise in the US
That's the other thing I prefer about the 2DS. for hacking, the SD card being so easily accessible is a godsend. Taking it out all the time to transfer games and shit
Complete with those newer TN screens that make the IPS vs TN meme a joke?
>Taking it out all the time to transfer games and shit
that's why i loved freeshop so fucking much, syill i like my N3DSXL and its comfy grip
Oh yeah I forgot about that, I get all my games from a tracker so I transfer the .cia from my computer
Terranigma
Better than the switch, great games and actual handheld.
Is 3DS the most editioned system of all time?
I mean. It probably is by a very huge margin. There's gotta be at least 100+ different 3DS editions
is there a way to fix this broken thing bros?
>from a tracker so I transfer the .cia from my computer
Pretty neat alternative, i'm probably gonna go from some easy to setup FTP as there's a homebrew for it but i'm just too lazy for now
Buy a new one
That sounds cool
I love all handhelds.
damn, thats sexy. japan gets all the good colors. I bought a n3dsxl at launch, and all they had was black
get your own money poorfag
I superglued the pad back on mine
>All .cia's for Devil Survivor have disappeared from the internet
>Only option is a EU version with game-breaking bugs
>No .cia's for the update that fixes it
Why do I bother
You'd have to open it up
Shame n3ds xl never came in this color
I don't get how you can get used to looking at such a small screen.
Japan, EU and Emus all got those good colors.
Should've just injected the mons you wanted bro
FreeShop doesn't exist anymore
FTP via WiFi
probably just a n2ds xl, unless you're really into the designs of the 3ds' you can buy. you will never use the 3d outside of 10 seconds of flipping it on to fuck your eyes up.
Or the old jewel turquoise
>of that being able
complete ass
So where’s one supposed to get roms now?
are they really that bad?
The Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn demo at my target sounds fine
>FreeShop doesn't exist anymore
I know that's why i said "loved"
oh, well glad to not be the bearer of bad news to you then after all.
need a micro... one day...
haha don't worry , I had the time to mourn
Two seconds on Google.

>Hacked my 3DS during the ol rxTools days
man i love my 3ds
>the ol rxTools days
Holy shit I don not miss seeing that ugly face everytime i boot up my 3ds
Same, a9lh and B9S were godsends
Hacked my first one when OOThax was still new then later upgraded to a N3DS and hacked that. It was a great decision, there's still so much of the library I've yet to play.
I remember when downgrades first became a thing, I decided to be a guinea pig since I already had a hacked N3DS, and a spare o3DS, with nothing to lose.
good times
got this piece and I didnt even play monster hunter that mich :/
>your 3DS softbricked like 7 times before the Downgrade worked
>jap version text sits perfect in the middle
>us version shit gets all weird to the side
this edition drives me up the fucking wall holy shit
I remember being like one of the first people to post about the downgrade "working" in the /hbg/ thread before everyone PANIC'd about the bug in the downgrader.
Been going through the Ace Attorney series on mine, great console.
bought one of pic related 7 years ago. Want to hack it but don't want to fuck it all to hell and don't know anything about the process.Good console anyways.
It's probably the most retard proof hacking method ever.
In the history of all the shit that i hacked, the 3ds is baby tier
Regular sized n3DS is best 3DS/2DS.
yes but If I donked it up would I lose all my crap restoring the 3ds?
Why does a game console have a “mild violence” parental warning?
You'd have to be literally brain damaged to mess it up, a monkey could do it. I did it and I'm retarded with tech most of the time. Go for it, user.
>Your launch day o3DSXL has a broken hinge
should i just bite the bullet and get a New?
Most guides will require you to back up your shit anyway. I don't think it's even possible to fuck it up beyond all repair any more
3ds.hacks.guide
That award goes to the PSP IMO, if you have a way to read their retarded SD cards.
Sky blazer
I love how tidy it looks, it's nice to see people taking care of their shit
Vita if you have one on 3.60. Literally, just go to a website, then transfer over two files and install + run them.
>That award goes to the PSP IMO
Nah the PSP still had more risk of fucking things up than the 3ds right now. Iremember the crazy amount of people needing DDC kits to salvage their fuck ups
I have a hacked 3DS, how do I get it to the max (6th) level of brightness without having it plugged in? I have an extended battery so battery life isn't an issue
All of you complaining about how hard it is to hack a 3DS obviously have never had to solder a modchip onto a console, or BREAK A FUCKING BATTERY TO BOOT YOUR SYSTEM INTO HEN.
user I am a mega retard and the 3DS hacking was a breeze, honestly the hardest part was unscrewing the back because I have one of those retarded early New 3DS where you've o unscrew it to take in/out SD cards
Have sex
It takes about a half hour and is a retard-proof step by step checklist.
How much do you use it? Make up your own mind, knobgobbler.
Can 2ds owners join this thread too?
Repair things, don't buy new ones to break.
Pity the dimension-less
Of course, what have you played recently user?
I hacked my og 3ds and once a week or so it boots to a black screen until i boot into godmode and restore my sysnand backup. Any idea what's going on?
Advance Wars 2. Injecting gba games is the greatest thing ever.
Yeah, i injected my 2 top favorite ones aka minish cap and ffv advance + restoration adn color patch and it's been a fucking blast
I liked this one
Are games still being made for the 3DS?
Last physical one is persona q2 in june (officially)
He's actually not wrong
Yes.

No listings
be nice to your 3ds
how is battle cats 3ds
i just want to say i got a 2ds xl in like new condition for 110$, put home brew on it and like 30 3ds games, + like another 20 orginal ds games
i'm really enjoying it alot but the burden of choice is overwhelming.
like i want to ironman awakening, but at the same time i want to move on to shadows of valentia.
or i can't decide whether i want to grind monster hunter 4 or rune factory.
so many games so little time.
majoras mask 3ds was a disappointment.
Honestly the 3D is amazing on the N3DS
also i hacked it so it plays smooth jazz when it starts up
>burden of choice is overwhelming.
>so many games so little time.
Welcome to PC, where I have had the entire library of every handheld and every console except the Xbox and 360 and PS4 available to me, and I still play nothing and procrastinate for years and then maybe get around to something like Rain World two years after the fact.
>majoras mask 3ds was a disappointment.
Anyone could've told you that.
Even basedmaster himself.

>have lime green GBC
>fucking love it, best color ever outside of meme 90s transparent cases
>parents force me to lend it to my little brother
>he loses it somehow
>doesn't get in trouble, I never get a new one
Almost 20 years later I'm still worked, seething, fuming, triggered, butthurt, assblasted AND booty destroyed.
yeah. If only i could go back in time and give it to myself like 12 years ago i would go nuts.
The problem is, is that with most games you have to invest some decent time into them to get the most out of them, and really take your time and enjoy the experience. But with 3dscia.com i now have well over a thousand hours of gameplay in my backlog, and its hard to only pick one or two games to focus on. Like when i'm in the boring early game of a really good game, but i just want to move on and try something else. Or like my dilemma with fire emblem, i barely got through awakening and missed alot of content, and part of me wants to go through it again, but at the same time i have 4 more games from the same series to get through and it feels like a chore.
I feel you about the pc though. I honestly only bought a 3ds to stave off me geeking out and spending like 700 bucks on a pc.
Also with majoras mask, i didn't know the 3ds version was so gimped. I played half way through it as a child until i lost the disc (gamecube collectors edition) and never beat it.
Even though the 3ds verision introduced some much needed quality of life changes it also feels severely gimped. Like with the mask 2 of the 3 of them are severly nerfed. It actually wasn't until i got to the great bay i learned about the fucked up swimming. It took one of the most liberating and fun moments of the game and just fucked it up.
Alright user, I'll give you some advice.
If you have a lot of backlog or unsure choices, pick the shorter one first.
For example
>ironman Awakening (which I assume you have beaten) vs starting SoV
Just start SoV. You beat Awakening, replay it later and it will be more fresh and fun to ironman.
>MH4 or RF
Assuming RF4, do RF first. MH4 has a TREMENDOUS amount of content and grinding, and while RF4 is by no means a barebones game, it's more manageable to finish.
Good luck.
Thats a good way to approach a backlog. Thanks for the advice user!
I'll just start Sov and stay with RF 4. The reason i wanted to replay awakening is because i used restarts when i fucked up or got fucked up by the rng. I know its pretty common to play that way but it kind of made me feel cheap, like even though i saw the credits i didn't really "beat it"
I never played a rune factory game before 4 , but a fan of the gamecube harvest moon games and stardew valley. I like alot of the content even though I really am not a fan of the overly anime cutesy presentation.
anyways of all the problems to have, too many good games to play is a pretty small one lol. thanks again
>
my condolences user
To be fair, there’s a lot of slick MH patterns for 3DSes. I got mine because it looked nice.
3dscia.com
selection is mildly limited but it has all the major titles. you might have to dig around for more niche selections
I have a n3ds xl, and while the library is nice I fucking hate the device itself. It's miserable. The resolution and ppi are ass, the top screen is tinted piss yellow, the weight distribution is fucked and makes it uncomfortable to use while laying back in bed (which is when I'm mostly using it). The dpad is in an awful place and most of the games I play use it primarily which further reduces comfort. Fuck this thing
The standard n3ds looks a lot better, but they're like 250 bucks new and I'm afraid I'm going to get another piss yellow screen
Don't worry, it's not just "pretty common," I'm fairly sure the vast majority plays it like that, even some of the devs. Awakening isn't too hard though so if you feel like it ironmanning is manageable.
SoV has the turnwheel and some special shrines so you won't have to reset. It's a hybrid third-person crawler/TRPG, rather than a standard TRPG.
>The standard n3ds looks a lot better, but they're like 250 bucks new and I'm afraid I'm going to get another piss yellow screen
Just buy a used one then, they’re like a hundred bucks.
playing hotel dusk pretty good for a ds game, anyone else got shit to recommend from the ds' backlog that's obscure, also post custom themes.
cool thanks for the heads up! But i do still feel really cheaping soloing like the last 6 chapters of the game with only MU and Chrom, because it took less iq points to just send those two to kill the things as opposed to micromanaging all of my lesser units to make sure no one dies.
user you can beat Grima on Lunatic by sending Robin or Morgan up to it and dancing them. One turn kill. Outside of the blatantly unfair Lunatic+, Awakening generally rewards just abusing your favorite unit over and over, kind of like just beating everything with your starter Pokemon. A shitload of people only played the game to read supports and pair people together so at least having some concern for your gameplay tactics means you're probably fine.
I honestly feel like I will never stop playing my 3DS. There are so many games on it that I like replaying and going back to. I love my Switch but 3DS is so easy to pick up and play.
Do any of you guys feel the same?
Thinking of hacking my 3DS, few questions:
1. I want Mario Maker 3DS. Should I but this legally from the eShop so I can access the online levels or can I also do that with a CIA copy?
2. How easy is it to load GBA/DS games from custom icons on the home screen? Is there a limit?
dual screen for a portable was honestly genius because it allows for a lot of unique games, a clamshell design to keep the screens safe, AND more real estate. It's elder god tier and the DS especially has a library that's honestly legendary
MM3ds online sucks so just get a cia copy since you wont be able to even search for stages
Gba is insert, but with DS there's no way to load from home menu except twili menu, the only limit it sd card space
a hacked 3ds being a native GBA, DS and 3ds is perfect so I'll always use it if I need to record or test out games on that system, probably gonna try the Megaten series soon on it since I never played any of them back when it was the shit to own on 3ds
thats true,still think is funny that the freaking spa fanservice dlc map provided more of a challenge than the final boss.
especially if you want off the conversations and changing into all the kimotos or whatever those jap pajamas are called. I still remember the bullshit 1 turn ambush where they would just jump anyone i would send over there.
I guess that is a problem i have with the game. As far as I can tell you can keep reclassing units so they get infinite buffs, so you end up with unkillable units with like a 95% avoid rate, and i generally just hated the 1 turn reinforcements in general
Really hope the Switch Lite is clamshell
Go Go Cosmo Cops is really good, it makes excellent use of the touchscreen and is suuuuper cheap, was only released in Europe though.
You can, unit optimization was something a lot of people did with it, especially for streetpass teams (which I don't think there's a lot of any more, but eh).
How is Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology
is this the "bitch about nintendo literally never making any system or peripheral in a non retarded shade of green unless its some obscure limited edition version" thread?
Do you have the actual Hotel Dusk cart or is there a new way to run DS games on 3DS?
Me too, I'm holding off on getting one until E3 rolls around in case they reveal it.
actual cart, box too
getting this thing lately made me miss physical manuals
use the 3D slider anons, games are more enjoyable that way
you don't even have to max it out, just give it a little nudge to 20% - 50%
not him but I felt the same way last time I got a DS game (Rocket Slime)
Such a nice meaty manual and even some little promo pamphlets
I always leave it maxed, I fucking love the 3D
Someone talk about games
I'm trying to decide a team for participation matches in Pokemon so I can get the free prizemon
3D was pretty good but only when devs actually knew how the eyes worked, pic very related, someone who knows how eyes work
okay
most dispointing 3ds things you had?
for me it's either lords of shadow though that was just with the entire castlevania series at the time or the fact that DGS never was brought over
i love the 3ds
i mean i fucking love the 3ds
Completely forgot about it, playing Zelda 1 again.
Anyone recommend some fun games? All I have is Zelda OOT and MM :/
have you beaten all of them?
it took me 5 years but i've finally completed them all. I work from home so I have a lot of free time.
a link between worlds
luigi's mansion dark moon
Xenoblade 3d
Metroid: Samus Returns
Kid Icarus Uprising
Kirby Planet Robobot
thats not even getting into DS stuff yet
based
just wondering, why would you buy more than 1 of the same unit. like i get if you only had an orignal xl wanting to upgrade to a new 3dsxl, but why would you need 2 of each version?
also if you work from home you probaly don't really take advantage of the portablility (like most adults who play videogames. Who really breaks out their 3ds or vita in public?) so what do you think draws you towards your affinity for the console?
Does TN vs IPS matter?
Slowly chewing through Etrian Odyssey Nexus. Northern Shrine is pretty fucking boring, that's for sure.
my wife also plays the 3ds with me, so thats why we have doubles. same reason for the games, we 2 player some of them together so we buy two copies.
i don't care for the portability. i play games because i enjoy them. always have been since i received dragon warrior through the nintendo power magazine
oh i see. makes sense. wish i had a wife to play vidya with. thanks man
Not really, but it is a little nicer
In case you don't know of TwilightMenu, that's a thing that allows you to play DS games on 3DS. Nothing newer than that, though.
Does this guy still make these? Last I heard he went kaput
If I were to buy a new 3ds xl on amazon right now is there a chance it will come with firmware that I can't hack and pirate games on without doing hardware mods, borrowing another 3ds, or any other weird shit?
I have a 2DS XL, I’ve just beaten MM3D and that little nipple stick has helped with the camera issues
Pretty sure all the firmware is moddable fairly easy without needing hardware mods
He's still AWOL
damn, I hope he's not gone forever
>$209
You're better off getting a refurb off Nintendo's website. They're only $130, and usually like new. You can hack any 3DS without hardware mods
you're pretty likely to get get a firmware thats easy to hack
Am i using the nub wrong or is it seriously just bullshit to use? I've only ever seen it work decently in one area in a single game.
The Wii was way easier
I love mine, and I ___buy___ my games.
I’ve played and (if reasonably possible) 100%’d:
>Super Mario 3D World
>Crush3D
>Rayman 3D
>Rayman Origins
>Bravely Default
>Bravely Second
>Mario & Luigi Partners in Time
>Mario & Luigi Paper Jam
>Paper Mario Sticker Star
>Kirby Battle Royale
>Kirby Triple Deluxe
>Kirby Planet Robobot
>Luigi’s Mansion 3D
>Kirby’s Epic Yarn
>Pokémon Omega Sapphire
>Pokémon Sun
>Pokémon Ultrasun
>Pokémon Rumble World
>Pokémon Shuffle
>Warioware Gold
>Yoshi’s Wooly World
What should I play next?
I've been trying to find anything new to put onto my 3ds with it modded. I've pirated games, got roms injected and ntr cheats to mess around.. I've got 5 gigs left on my sd card and no idea what left to do with it
play smt 4
Literally every firmware is hackable. All you need is an SD card.
Oh yeah and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
I’ve never played a SMT game before, does that matter? I like RPGs that aren’t the classic style (like M&L or BD/S with the boost system). What’s its catch?
You mean the c-stick? It's just trash
consider replacing it with a PSP 1000 nub
