Calm down. That's not how patching works, dev cycle and testing to a patch that isn't a minor fix is 3+ weeks till approval is granted.

Not everything is something to lose sleep over.
Still...

I was referring to the vol+ vol- and power combination that triggers some kind of loading screen. Supposedly someone in discord discovered what it does... Installs predownloaded firmware updates. Beware
Didn't it stress test the battery, with the risk of making the console explode?

I hadn't updated to 4.1, was still on 4.0. Just tried it, and it opens up a menu that had 3 options: Update the system, Initialize data (without deleting saves) and Initialize System (deletes everything). I just updated from there. I didn't notice it doing anything funny with the battery though.

You have to hit reboot and then hold the vol-, vol+ and power/sleep button until the maintenance menu appears.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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.

    @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
