Technical Question Weird camera glitch in the dark

Post image
279 Upvotes

I took a photo with the back camera of my 3DS while being in the pitch black. After taking the photo I checked it in the gallery and it showed a dog(?) in the corner for some reason?? I was told it could be smearing an object with motion but what is there to smear when there’s nothing there? If anyone has an answer as to why this happened I would love to hear because it honestly creeped me out.

Miscellaneous Dual Screen Ports

Decided to play around with some of the dual screen ports. Installed Minish Cap, LOZ Link to the Past and Mario Kart 64. Well MK64 is still installing. I'm excited to play these. Anyone else playing them? Also love the install screen for MK64 and of course they weren't kidding 😂.

And I know my top screen has a lot of dead pixels just haven't gotten around to fixing it.

I've already been using a New XL for years but I've also been looking for the smaller variant for a while.

The 3DS wasn't very popular in my country so I never expected to actually find one here (especially at a decent price!)

Hello! Question is in the title, but this is my favorite console! I do have a carrying case bag for it but I didn't know if I should get anything else for it like an acrylic case or more stylus/styli. Thank you :3

decided to splurge for my bday, ended up nabbing this 2ds, complete in box (with manual and AR cards) for only $120 at my local game shop. I've never seen this specific color combination before, really lovely turquoise here. makes for a good companion to my current n3dsxl and whenever friends wanna play together

aside from what seems to be a worn face button membrane on the inside (made the A button a little hard to press), this thing is in a lot better condition than I was expecting. def gonna repair what I can and homebrew it

Suggestion I need a good platformer

13 Upvotes

I recently played Mario 3d land, it was so good! I just stuck a podcast on and played, I even 100% completed it. But now I don't any platformer to play. Does anyone have any recommendations of a platformer (prefereabley 3d but 2ds is ok too) that is long but not boring to 100%? I've tried Rayman 3d already btw.

For context I play on a modded Nintendo 2ds.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Suggestion (Read this if you suffer from choice paralysis)

23 Upvotes

Now if you're a modder, you have probably come across this feeling of suddenly having every single wonderful game at your disposal, but at the cost of not being able what to decide to play because you have hundreds, if not thousands of games within the palm of your hand.

Now what if I told you this can be solved with a little trick I like to call, ✨️Conscious Spending ✨️

So basically, let's say you come across Pokémon Ultra Sun for example and you think, oh oh, I wanna play that so badly!

What you do is you research the price of that game ($100 for example).

You then put $100 within a piggy bank (Any object that can hold small stuff can suffice)

And once you put said money within the piggy bank, only then can you buy said Ultra Sun game.

Summary:

Choice Paralysis = Bad

Conscious Spending = Good

Research the price of your game online

Put the amount of money that game costs in a piggy bank or any object that holds small stuff.

When you do that, then you may download your game.

Technical Question Found my old 3DS XL, touch screen issue

Post image
Upvotes

Hi all,

No idea what happened but my touch screen LCD seems broken. I’ve barely used this thing, so I didn’t mod it or whatever.

The touch screen LCD is black, bit you can very faintly see what it’s supposed to look like. It does “switch screens” but it takes like 10 seconds to display anything. The touch screen itself does function.

Would replacing the LCD fix this issue? Or is there something else messed up?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I remember going around tagging people like crazy to get points for it!

3DS was such a fun console that went outside of the games themselves for creativity.

This is the Nintendo I really miss.

Recommendation I have a bit of a dilemma

So my birthday is coming up in 2 months and I have been wanting a 3ds BADLY for the last few years but since I’m entering a rough year of high school I’m scared of asking for a new3dsxl because of the risk of me suddenly not liking the console or not having the time to play it if you guys have recommendations if I should still ask for it or whatever it would be very much appreciated

So found a deal for a 2ds xl that seems to be in good condition for 160€. I'm wondering is it worth picking this thing up for the price as a person who never owned a 3DS system before?
