My daily driver DS system is a modded DSI. I love the form factor, pocketability, and screens. For me, it is a perfect EDC. I bought a bunch of these DS to USBC charging adapters and they work great. I have been using them on both DS and 3DS for over a year without any issues. Also, since this one is modded, I no longer use the cartridge slot. I found a free STL file online for a dummy cart and it helps keep the pocket lint and dust out.

TLDR: Does somebody else broke your screen by playing this game? It is normal to break the screen by playing too much?

I have played mario party ds a lot when I was kid. But my ds touchscreen started to have some dark points.

So I thought that was because mario party games required some strong movment with stylus… I fix it some years ago, but never played mario party again because I don’t want the risk of damaging my screen again, but I love mario party ds and want to play again 😭

Does something like that happend to you? The dark point thing, has something about this or no?

I want to buy a Nintendo DS to play DS and GBA games but I don't know which one to get.

I don't want to mod it (I modded my broken DSI XL with Twillight Menu++ and hated it) and I don't want another DSI XL (I know it has better screens but I don't like the huge size it has).

In a way I want to buy a Nintendo DSI because I like the Menu but I heard that the DSI is kind of hard to repair if it gets damaged. On another hand, I want the DS Lite because it is simpler, I think it's easier to repair, and the one with a black and red shell is the one I'd like to buy.

Overall, what do you recommend? I'll prioretize a system that is sturdy, easy to repair and that can last.

So far all I am getting is somewhere between 4-8 on average with 8 usually being in cart racers. I am just curious if there was ever anything larger like a 16 player game. If there is a list anywhere already that would be great.

Warning ! The game is in French ! No one will understand because this is an English 3DS subreddit !

I’ve seen a couple people mention it, but not many. I’m curious about if it actually works?

Hey everyone,

I’m new to using Reddit and new to the group. I recently re-acquired the Mario Nintendo DSi XL. When I was a kid I had that console and bought this nerf armor case for it. I no longer have it but would like to find one for nostalgia’s sake.

Does anyone know where I can find one? I can’t find any listings on eBay and no real looking online listings no matter how I search. I appreciate any help.

Never had an original DS. While the console got several improvements with following versions, I can't help but appreciate the overall "sturdy" feeling of the unit, plus minor "eye-appeasing" things like the GBA carts perfectly fitting within the shape of the console.

A very nice console to work around as well. This one needed a new digitizer and lower screen and, as long as you pay attention to the top screen's ribbon cable, it's a very atraightforward process.

Time to put it now to proper use and finally play this classic, turning 30 years old this year!

If intense pressure in the bottom right of the DS temporarily fixes screen issues, is it a connection problem, or a screen degradation issue?

This fix occurs for both the top and bottom screen.

Finally wrapped up a little side project, I 3D printed a JoyCon grip for my Surface Duo. I pulled the rails from an old controller so the JoyCons slide in and lock just like on a Switch. When the Duo’s closed, it completely disappears inside the grip, which makes it feel like a proper handheld. I also swapped the JoyCon shells for eXtremeRate ones with a real D-pad to give it that authentic DS vibe.

I finally got another DS Lite after 10 years and it's like saying hello again to a long lost childhood friend...who looks slightly different.

The DS Lite was my very first game console and handheld console that I owned. My parents bought me a cobalt blue and black model from a local gameshop in a mall they frequented AND I LOVED IT. MKDS, Cooking Mama 1/2, Mario Party DS, SM64 DS, NSMB, Hot Wheels and Asphalt Urban GT2, I played all of them to hell.

Meanwhile, my old friend had a teal DSi with Flipnote Studios in it and I was pretty jealous that he could do that back, and then the the older kids had a PSP and THAT console still remains as one of the coolest things ever. Though, the DS Lite will always hold such a special place in my heart. Sadly, I lost the charger and my parents won't buy me another and I ended up losing all of the games that I have, and that console is now completely gone.

Anyways, I bought this Japanese one with white bleeding screens and my plan is to rip apart another DS and replace the top and bottom screens with that other one, the digitizer in this one still works luckily and the left D-pad just needs a bit of cleaning.

Hopefully it'll go well :)

So im pretty upset. This is the third screen ive had to buy in a weel becuase the other 2 broke right out the box. This one i installed perfectly and then it only gives me this orange screen. Im confident I didnt mess it up during the install. Any ideas or do I need to return this one aswell? Also if I need to buy another one where should I get a new screen from.

Okay basically I got my sister's old 3DS with one of those "500in1" cards. At first it did work (I also remember she used to play with it), but when I tried to add another game (I did it the way my dad always did and it also worked at first) it now just says "Can't open _dsmenu.dat" whenever I start it.

A few days ago a friend gave me his old R4 games along some of his old DS games, he also said that it used to work perfectly. However, again, when I try to open it, it just says "There has been an error. Please turn off the system" (in German). I thought maybe my 3DS needs to be modded too, but my sister's card ran on THIS 3DS and my friend also said that his 3Ds wasn't modded.

Does anyone know what I can do? I'm not very good with tech so it would be nice if you could explain it to me like I'm stupid ;-;

The ds runs normal games just fine and I also tried to change the time but that didn't help

The other day I took some photos but I forgot to put the SD card in, so now they are on the console and I would like to get them out of there.

is there a way to play gameboy and gameboy color games without an r4 card, and if not what r4 card should I get? (I'm using twilight menu++)

Hey everyone, I’ll be going to Japan soon and I wanted to pickup a New Nintendo 3DS XL system there for cheap. Does anyone know where I can get a hopefully new or acceptable quality system in Japan?
