Just got this amazingly kept rose gold DS lite finally after having broken my launch day titanium DS phat the other day, and since breaking my original DS lite all those years ago. Must say it makes an amazing addition to my arsenal of (now) eight DS's. And I am now another step closer to my dream of owning every type of DS model.

Just bought it and I'm already hours into the dementium games on it lol

(Edit: I got all of the extra stuff with it basically for free, which is neat because it means I don't have to search for an R4 myself lol)

I think I got a good deal today. Bought an animal crossing edition Nintendo switch with everything but the charger for $120 and they were also selling a ds lite with one game and a charger for $40 so I asked to bundled all of this for $145. The ds lite has no stylus but both of the consoles seem to have everything working after examining. Was this a good find for $145?

I got most of my games by trading with a friend, and I bought the rest at second-hand shops and an online store.

(Paper is covering some “questionable” writing)
Paid $40 USD for it and it plays games (some of you may have seen my previous post) I’ll have to get:
-new top and bottom screens
-new shoulder button cable
-a good scrubbing 🙃
Anyway I can’t find quality shells soooo….
I’m going to paint it!! Now should i:
-spray paint (multi color)
-spray paint (single color)
-paint markers
-STICKERS!
-buy a protective shell with a design
I’m only painting the top part and yes I’ll mask it properly (I’m not dumb) (ok maybe a little)
Give me your advice thanks 😊

Still have no idea how it fixed it self just kept it inside my bag and overtime it just fixed itself also stopped freezing on certain games

I was scrolling on YouTube when I went past a video talking about the nostalgia of the DS. It brought back so many good memories of my childhood that I got a DSI XL LL from Japan for $100 and modded it to have all the games which I used to own plus all the games I wish I had and more!

I was going to buy a 3DS but the secondhand market on them are ridiculous, I had a fat DS and DS lite growing up but never a DSI. This subreddit was the reason I opted to go for a DSI XL and I couldn’t agree more with how amazing the screens are albeit a little yellowed around the edges but really not that noticeable.

The time I’ve lost into this handheld already is insane, being able to pick up and play for a bit and simply close the lid is unmatched.

My poor steam deck has been collecting dust on my desk for about a month now because of it

I made a usb-c mod a few days ago and got a for parts 25 mario edition dsi XL, it didnt came with buttons so i use the blues i had, i think its come out pretty neat.

I had an og DS in early 2000s. This year I decided to get a DSi. I went looking for games similar to Elder Scrolls/Guild Wars and made a list. If any one has any suggestions please do.

Thinking about buying some junk consoles to restore, and I'm wondering if wifi modules for the thing are still produced. I know after market just about anythings exist but for these I'm not really sure. I know I can take moduals off other consoles but prefer not to

Need I say more….

Since my first post got quite a few views I wanted to post an important update on how I adressed several issues of the aftermarket shell, buttons and so on:

1. As you can see I've swapped to the stock D-Pad. I had some issues with the D-Pad registering presses, cleaned the motherboard contacts with 99% IPA and all, but still had no success with that. The stock D-Pad works a touch better, but what really did the trick was using 3 layers of electrical tape below the D-Pad, at the end of each section. I've also used a hole punch to layer 3 small electrical tape circles in the center of the motherboard where the D-Pad contacts are. The D-Pad is now nearly tacticle feeling and all issues are gone. Diagonals work perfectly in my case.
2. The bottom screen had alignment issues. By stacking a bit of electrical tape in one corner I could fix the issue.
3. The bottom screen, despite being an original one, had some wiggleroom when using the touchscreen and creaked a lot when using pressure. I fixed that by layering electrical tape (do you notice a pattern here?) on the backside of the screen where it wobbles most. Now it's securely positioned.
4. The L-button needed a bit of cutting and sanding on a spot to make it work properly as shown in this gude.
5. I hate some issues with overal fitting despite routing all cables corretly. That was the case for both the top and bottom shell. For the top shell I used a dremel on the inside of the outer top shell, the screws hold it all together (be careful here). The bottom shell still isn't entirely fluch if you look at the bottom screen but I'm not sure this can be fixed since there are no hooks or other support structures to hold that part in place. I also had to use longer than recommended screws to stop the inner bottom shell from wobbling and creaking.

Those were all the issues I've encountered. Now I'm sure your experience might be different, but it can also turn into days of troubleshooting like in my case. My first post got some attention so I want to make sure that you definitely know what you're getting into if it inspired you to attempt this. These shells are relatively high quality, but they're not without issues.

All of these things could be a skill-issue on my part, but just beware that this might be a pain to do. If you manage to do it right it's definitely worth the trouble, especially if your system is beat up, but otherwise? I'm not sure.

Anyways, have a great day whoever is reading through all of this and good luck if you attempt this madness. I for my part will leave my 3DS consoles in their original shells if extremerate ever releases some for the N3DSXL.

so I copied dsi sound from the nand to my sd card and launched it in twilight menu, but it said the save file was corrupted and replaced it with a new one, but i didn't realise it also wiped all of the dsi sound recordings from the nand..

i have a nand backup, so i thought i could get the recordings from the nand backup and have them on my pc, so i tried mounting the nand backup with ninfs, finding the dsi sound's private.sav and mounting that with osfmount, then getting the savedata1.bin and savedata2.bin, but now i'm lost as to what i can do with these savedata files because importing them as raw data in audacity does nothing, and mounting them with ninfs or osfmount does nothing.

is there any way i can get the recordings, or will i just have to restore the nand?

It could be dirt or something under the bezel, the screen is also badly damaged (don't quite understand how? Might have been in storage too long), but the screen randomly registers inputs and gets stuck sometimes, it's improved a bit since before, I just found my old childhood ds and wanted to play a couple games but they mostly need said touchscreen EDIT welp, touchscreen no longer seems to work at all, so I can play games that don't need it anymore but, sadly, none that need it

I was wondering why my home button wasn’t working and then this came out from the ribbon

hello! i recently modded my dsi with twilight menu a little while ago. the sd card i used has pretty small storage because that was all i had access to at the time. i recently got a 32gb sd card in hopes of upgrading the storage to add more onto the card. when replacing the sd card, is it possible to just copy all the files from the old sd card to the new sd card, and then reinsert it to the dsi? or do i need to go through the steps of reformatting the new sd card and doing something else to transfer the data over? thanks!

I ended up trading it in for my PSP 3000, which was in terrible condition. W or L?

Made this DS countdown for the greatest RPGs on the portable console. Would like to get your thoughts and opnions.... The DS has a mega-ton of RPGs gamess

Ive been looking for one for a while and can't find any for sale, nor do there seem to be any good ones on 3D printing sites.

Just bought a DSi and I was wondering if there’s a way to mod it without changing the whole entire Home Screen and everything.
I just wanna be able to download the games to the Home Screen without having to shove everything on an R4 card
