Thread 719681751

You did get one before the prices got insane, right /v/? Don't tell me you were playing console slop in the 2010s.

>>719681751 (OP)
I didn’t. And I’m poor. Back to jacking off.

>>719681751 (OP)
I have two XLs, but no News.
I've never even held a New, actually.

Are really that expensive?

I got a New 3DS XL in 2015 (or whenever it came out) but sold it for a Switch. I regret it immensely.

>>719681751 (OP)
I bought one in 2015 to play pokemon because pokemon go was exploding and I wanted to play a real pokemon game.

I have a New 3DS XL but I'm too fucking scared to jailbreak it...

I got it used for $100 in 2016. The photos left on the SD card suggested it belonged to a little black girl. Her mother must have pawned it off.

>>719681751 (OP)
Were they ever not expensive? I remember sticking with my hand me down DS lite as a kid because the 3DS was too expensive.

>>719681751 (OP)
No

I am an Amassador, and I also got the New 3DS at launch, so I transferred all 10 of my NES and GBA games on my New 3DS

>>719682068
it's piss easy seriously do it now, there's no reason not to the modding process is 100000% retard proof

>>719682069
Spray it with lysol to remove the HIV residue.

I don't care because the games aren't even worth emulating

>>719682095
The 3DS was $250 at launch, but it sold like shit (I got it day one because new hardware was exciting back then). They reasonably dropped the price to $190 less than a year later.

>>719681751 (OP)
Prices are only high because the hinges break so easily and replacing that part of the shell isn't something most people can do. Also none of the replacements you can buy online will last for more than a year before breaking again.

>>719681751 (OP)
I got a free one from Amazon in 2019 because Canada Post admitted fault in losing my package and then found it after Amazon had already sent me a replacement

>>719681751 (OP)
Yes, got one direct from Nintendo in August of 2020 when they were selling the last of their "refurbished" units for $120, indistinguishable from new except for the plain packaging. Got a $99 2DSXL from Walmart not long before that.

>>719684642
did you hack it?

>>719684692
Of course. Even made my own theme because I didn't like any of the ones already out there.

>>719681751 (OP)
>You did get one before the prices got insane, right /v/?
Yes. Years before homosexuals and women started buying them to attach stickers and keychains to as a fashion statement to show off on TikTok.
Apparently that's a big reason why the prices for 3DS shit is retarded now, besides COVID ramping up prices.

>>719682068
Go do it RIGHT NOW
https://3ds.hacks.guide/
get games from the hshop

I had a majoras mask gold n3ds XL that I sold. I regret it a bit but I never used it. I kinda wish I had kept it to make homebrew games on.

>>719681751 (OP)
now why would i waste money when I can just....

It's shitting bricks doe. It's compund yapster shitslop doe.

>>719685313
It feels absolutely soulless to emulate the DS and 3DS

I own one and it sucks, probably my least favorite Nintendo system I've ever owned

>>719685394
except it doesn't. feels good, tendie. high frames, better control inputs, better visuals.
why would i limit myself to a shit experience for muh nostalgia? I have a 3DS, it sits on my collectors shelf. No intention of using when my experience emulating is a 1000 times better.

>>719681751 (OP)
I have a ps5, a switch, a switch 2, and a new 3ds xl

>>719681751 (OP)
nope, didn't bother with new edition, just regular xl
i got one of those pewter stick replacements since the glue holding the rubber on mine gave out

>>719685394
Anything to not have to play games on that complete piece of shit system

>>719681751 (OP)
Yes, I bought one for $250 at launch and bought a new 3ds xl years later. I still play my n3dsxl fairly often, there's a huge library of good stuff on it.

>>719684642
>Mario Golf World Tour
Based. I always felt like it was underrated compared to the other entries

>>719681751 (OP)
I got the 2d version, but I need like an XXL or something because it's still too small for my fingers.

>>719681751 (OP)
I have that Majora New 3DS XL. It's nice

>>719682068
Anon... it's so easy to jailbreak you'd have to be clinically retarded to brick it.

>>719681751 (OP)
I have a classic, an XL and 2 New XL.

bought mine years ago
my fave games are:

etrian odyssey
ex troopers
fantasy life
mario kart

>>719685856
Mine is SMT desu

>>719685856
You should check out CTGP-7 if you haven't already.

>>719681751 (OP)
Are there any good games on this piece of shit that ARE NOT JRPGs? Besides first-party nintendo stuff.

>>719685480
>>719685564
I prefer the real hardware. If you enjoy emulating then more power to you.

>>719686149
Castlevania.

>>719686149
The best version of Sega's forgotten arcade game Power Drift.

Does anyone remember the 3D free screen here

I havent touched my new 3ds in a long time. just for a few min here and there. I dont want it to die, always afraid of good tech breaking down.

I got the meme shark sd in it. I remember those /hbg/ days. I did get new faceplates recently. im just looking to clean up some games on it and do a backup and update things but I dont know whats been happening with luma and whatever.

I do love my retroid pocket mini, and I love how you can buy a dual screen for it. also that new DS looking chink device looks pretty sweet too.

Why did it increase in price?!?!

>>719686443
>I dont want it to die
Oh shit, will that happen? I just leave mine plugged in all the time.

>>719681751 (OP)
Why stop at one?

>>719681751 (OP)
Yeah, I already had a regular base 3DS but randomly decided to get a galaxy purple N3DS right at the end since I never had any special edition of consoles, would never expected this thing to be costing so much a decade later

I did get one but the paint is peeling off in the front and the stick cover broke, its still usable but dont know if that happened because of room temperature or what.

at least i got it pretty cheap because the guy selling it to me thought it didnt work, it just needed a hack reinstall, this was in 2021.

>>719686589
Damn and I thought I had too many at three. White original 3DS (Japanese version with region swap to US), Animal Crossing New Leaf 3DSXL and a N3DSXL in black. I had a fourth at one point (3DSXL in red) but gave it to a nephew.

>>719685648
So you're saying there's a chance

>>719681751 (OP)
70 kiwibucks in mid 2020
immediately hacked it and installed every fatlus game released on the system
feelsgood

>>719685394
I agree. Playing on an actual DS/3DS is the way to go.

I think I paid about $130 for one in Japan for a New 3DSLL. Pretty good deal. I softmodded it and and have more games than I’ll ever play on it.

>>719682068
I used to be that way but I've tried it and it's the best decision I ever made. Makes me regret buying games off of eshop while it was still available. And I'm pants with technology, mind you.

>>719686303
looks cool

>>719689381
It is. Unfortunately the special mode with the Sega Ages characters is only in the Japanese standalone e-shop version. Something so obscure it isn't even on the Hshop. It's out there though.

>>719686472
Same. I see cib going for about 250. Was that the increase?

My N2DS's battery is so fucked that I can't leave it out of the charger.

why are they so expensive. I just want to play nintendogs and custom robo arena.

>>719690360
Since those are original DS games you'd be better served getting a DSi XL instead. They all have IPS screens that look really nice, better than any 3DS screen to be honest.

>>719690571
I heard those screens yellow over time though. I don't think that IPS matters that much 2bh

>>719690571
I'll look into them. I just assumed it was better to get the most current version of the console. Thanks.

>>719690716
Yellow screen happens to a lot of old electronics, especially ones in Japan. Probably something about the humidity. When the screens are in good condition they're easily the nicest Nintendo ever put out until the Switch OLED.

>>719690836
DS games look better on an original DS since the resolution doesn't scale nicely. You can use the og resolution on 3ds but it looks stupid.

>>719689965
What the fuck. I thought fags were bragging about having dumped the entire eShop.

>>719691186
Power Drift is just that obscure.

new 3dsxl
bought on release after the first one broke (not joking)
currently the x button doesn't properly work
the fucking thing on the pad fell off
and the paint started to wear off

Got my metroid new 3DS XL for super cheap since it was from a different region. Idgaf since I just hacked it anyway.

>>719690997
On an XL 3DS it ends up the same size as an OG DS screen

>>719691763
yeah, but I still don't like the borders. Maybe I'm too picky

Yes, but the paint started to chip because I left it in my hot and humid porch last summer

my Dpad just started drifting. is it over?

>>719684642
very nice anon

>>719691842
dpad? open it up and clean it

>>719681751 (OP)
Use case for screens bigger than 3.5" and CPU clocks faster than 268mhz?

>>719692032
playing games

>>719692032
Not taking a fucking hour to decrypt and install a game.

>>719692032
>Use case for screens bigger than 3.5"
DS games not being microscopic when playing in pixel perfect mode
>CPU clocks faster than 268mhz
Emulation. On a New model you can even emulate PS1 games at full speed

>>719681751 (OP)
i own a 3Ds XL and a New 3Ds XL. im ready for the apocalypse.

>>719691186
Oh shit it actually is on hshop, it's just in katakana as: 3D パワードリフト. Didn't know they used Japanese characters.

>>719681751 (OP)
I have an old 3DS XL, not the new. I also haven't been paying attention to the prices. How much are they? A few hundred isn't so unreasonable that I can't afford it. Though it would be a bit silly for a portable that sold so well and went out of print less than 10 years ago

>>719681751 (OP)
I got a normal XL specifically for kid icarus uprising, which I enjoyed. Got a few other physical games for it but barely played any of them.
Then I hacked it, loaded it up with a shitton of games that looked halfway interesting, and didn't really touch it again since that's typically a death sentence for any of my gaming devices. ADHD option paralysis is a bitch. Gotta try out 10 games that all look interesting at once so I can't stick with any one of them.
Maybe it's that I got older, but I distinctly remember having MUCH, MUCH more fun with vidya when I only had a very small selection of games to choose from. In terms of enjoyment I got way more out of my GBC with only a handful of games than my DS and 3DS with everything pirated.
Then again I haven't hacked my Switch and apart from a few good games didn't really enjoy it so maybe modern gaming just sucks.

>>719695303
Only put the games on that you really want to play, and don't worry about a backlog. Just enjoy whatever you do choose to play.

>>719695439
I'm at that point now (took my until my 30s) and it feels good to just play whatever. I have a massive backlog that is impossible to get through in a lifetime so I let go of the notion that I need to play them all, even the games I paid for. Makes me actually have fun with games again. Sometimes. Even played through Oracle of Ages on an emulator on my phone recently and it was great.
That does mean my handhelds get no love anymore since I almost exclusively play on PC nowadays.

I was playing professor layton recently and I really liked the depth effects but I just could not keep it on, does the new 3ds actually fix the 3d effect? I only have a 3ds xl and its a miserable experience with the narrow view angles

>>719695119
they're at pretty much the same price you bought it at a decade ago, but second hand. unless its a IPS panel one which has a about a 50% premium

>>719681876
not too crazy but you might as well buy a switch

>>719681751 (OP)
HAHAHAHAHAHA why would I give a flying fuck you tendie faggot??

AYN Thor has made the 3DS completely worthless.

>>719696116
That doesn't sound too bad. Why is OP complaining?

>>719696275
>shilling for chink emulator machines

>>719696313
used market prices doubled

The battery of my launch 3DS kinda sucks now. Are replacements easy to come by and install?

>>719696404
roll the dice on aliexpress anon, pick up a usb-c charger mod while you're at it for $1

>>719696367
That happens to old consoles over time, especially when they become trendy. If it's only the price it was at when it launched, then it shouldn't be too crazy.

>>719696275
>no 3D effect
>not resistive touch screen
garbage

>>719686537
Nothing. The battery might go bad but you can get a new one.

>>719695672
I still struggle sometimes with the feeling of having "too many games", but I realised it's stupid to stress about it because it feels like a chore. Better to play a few games and really cherish them than play a dozen because you feel like you have to.

>>719696404
I got a replacement battery from ifixit a few days ago. Calibration is kinda fucked. The 3ds starts blinking an hour and thirty minutes before it properly dies but other than that it's lasted about 6 hours which is good.

>>719681751 (OP)
two even. but they are just collecting dust these days

>>719681751 (OP)

>>719681751 (OP)
Been having one, just only recently did I get it hacked. Love the cheat program, checkpoint.
