Alright, sometimes when I turn on the system, and just after the icons load, the screen scrolls all the way to the right to the end of as far as you could scroll. And when I try to scroll back left to my games, it'll just scroll right back all the way to the right. Just does it here and there and I'll have to turn the system off to fix it. My directional pad and joystick pad are working just fine. Idk why it does this sometimes. What do you think it could be

So it isn't the r button. When I play a game the button works fine. It's the touch screen. Where there's the left arrow and right one, it'll be fine for a bit but as soon as I touch something, I can see the right arrow clicking so to speak as if I'm touching it. If I touch the left arrow it halts it but won't reverse unless the home screen goes all the way to the right. I started doing this like 2 months ago, and only once in awhile, now about Everytime I turn the system in it does this. Almost wanna just throw it away and get a new one idk it's pissing me off

Since the problem is coming from the right side, see if your n3DS battery's [ bloated / swollen / puffed / ballooned / expanded ]. Pressure from the battery pushing against the body shell could be damaging the touchscreen digitizer.

Ok I'll check. Btw it's weird, usually when I go in NDS mode it stops when I'm done playing a game. I ended up moving all my folders and stuff to the far right side. Works in a way cuz there's LOTS of NDS games I haven't gotten to yet

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
