Hi, yesterday I gave my little niece my New Nintendo 3DS Xl Snes Edition to play with because otherwise she cried , after an hour or so I saw there was a scratch on the 3DS not on the screens (look at the picture) I want to fix it but I don't know how , does anyone have a solution , this is so bad .. I took so much care of my 3DS .. This really makes me want to break my 3DS or something I'm so g**** stressed because of this and I'm in an exam period as well this makes me stress a lot more , about the picture : I don't know if you can see it wel but in person you can see it very good , so that's very bad

I have the same problem on my Animal Crossing 3DS, only mine are thinner and there's about 5-10 scratches all along the hinge. I am not sure what causes it but I think maybe pressing too hard to close the top half presses the hinge down some to the point it scratches against the bottom half. I haven't been bothered to fix it because it'd probably just make it worse. I know it's annoying but just be thankful your 3DS is white so it's not that noticeable except under certain light conditions. If it was another color it'd be very noticeable. I mean you could go the route to spray paint over it with some matte white and just tape off the entire 3DS. Would be an easy project but you'd have to do extremely light coats.

Spray paint is hard to mess up :P. And with a little area such as a 3DS hinge, you have no room for error. It'd be extremely simple if you just taped off the entire top and bottom halves. Hell, if you didn't live out of country I'd offer to do it for you. You could always buy a skin/decal for your 3DS too, one that includes a hinge piece. It'd help protect it from future scratches too.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
