Hello, I have a puzzling problem happening with two New 3DS XL’s that I’ve been repairing. I bought a black one that wasn’t working and in my process of diagnosing its problems I swapped its motherboard to my known working red one. After swapping back the motherboards to the their original housings, my red ds that used to work fine with no problems now has a strange issue. On the home menu around 2 seconds after starting up the menu scrolls all the way to the right as if a button is stuck. However I’ve checked all my connections and they should be fine. Is there any issue I don’t know about? It still boots but has the scrolling issue, I’ve tried unplugging everything etc.

3DS RED: Everything functional and normal except it starts scrolling to the right automatically. C-Stick, D-pad, and Joystick works fine every direction. L and R work fine but ZL and ZR don’t do anything. I assume that it thinks ZR is stuck down? But it’s not.

3DS BLACK: When I have the SD card in: Turns on to a blank black screen with the blue and orange Wi-Fi light lit. I can hear the home screen audio and the sound of it scrolling. Then the system shuts down and restarts around every 5 seconds. When I take the SD card out it first shows the Luma setup menu then I click Start and then it does all of the above, black screen with home audio and restarts.

    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
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
