The only thing I see wrong with this is that he's charging 25 dollars for using NTRBoot, and also that he charges extra for downloading free games.
So basically everything.

I consider the whole thing a rip-off since anyone can simply come here and learn free of charge. Plus.....google. -mic drop-

Not everyone know how to do this sort of thing, and assuming even children want free games, they or their parents will pay for it.

In fact, the guy offers his services, and time, and apparently is even willing to include sd cards. As much as it's a rippoff for a typical GBAtemper, for anyone who hardly know how to insert a cartridge in a nintendo 3ds, it's a nice offer.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. Maybe I've just judged it from an everyday perspective for myself.

$25 for base... The R4 costs about $20... Which you still need a MicroSD for it.. 64GB msds Go for about $20-25 on Amazon. Which leaves a fairly decent profit. $25 just for the mod service itself is fairly reasonable just given the cost of the R4... Note this is for every system out there... So, I think he's fair.

The way the post was written, he's begging to get his butthole turned inside-out. Profiting from pirating games and using other peoples work violates a lot of laws.

If he as smarter, he should have looked at how business giants do business: free modding service, but you pay for my time and extra charges for SD cards, a warranty for possibly bricking a system, and a cleaning (literal washing) service.

The only thing he took from any business, was bad business. Baits you with "$1.00" in green text; switches it to $25.00, plus tiered fees. At least he closes with a "thank you".

  • 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.

    @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

    but that's a long shot

    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."
