I need to know how you swapped the led's colors. They look amazing.

Where did you get the custom analog stick and how did you put it in? Same thing for C-Stick.

i've posted about the analog a couple post ago, so scroll up :P and the c-stick are loads of guides on yt, you have to remove the c-stick and replace it with a psp-1000 analog stick

if he could do it, ofc you can do it, the question is, do you have the skill/equipment for it.
he has a guide here: http://imgur.com/a/NKvWj, but i think he 3d printed the buttons.
Got a better example now. Something exactly like this: , but the led is on every single second while the 3ds is on, and on the AXBY, UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT, L and R, ZR and ZL.

same answere, instead of soldering to the speaker like i did on that psp, you could just solder it to a stable +, but the thing is, how are you gonna get transparent AXBY, and the other buttons?

That's something I plan to do FAAAAR ahead on the future. Right now I don't have the skills to do, nor I can. Because Brazil sucks. I wonder what people in America would say if they know that an a9lh console is worth R$1500~1800, which is also the price range of non-a9lh N3DS at official resellers, 3rd party are R$900+.

Cheapest official reseller O3DS XL is R$1200, 2DS is R$1000, Super Mario 3D Land N3DS is R$1500, etc.

well if Nintendo doesn't officially sell consoles in Brazil then grey market pricing will be higher ..importing gadgets is a risky business (i am hoping they are evading taxes).

Also, those prices aren't from "grey market". They're from Nintendo's official resellers in Brazil.

Probably not, another reason Brazil sucks is because you have to apply this equation when importing something: (price+shipping)*(USD to BRL, which at the moment is 3,39)+60%. Which means that something that's $280 ends up being R$1580.

We had the same topic a few days ago.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/anyone-please-tried-usb-type-c-mod-for-3ds-xl.591591/

Certainly possible. There are deviating opinions regarding the different nominal voltage of proprietary Nintendo adapters (4.6V) and USB (5.0V): Some say: "Not good for the charging IC" and others say "Have been charging with USB cable for n years and everything is fine."

I wouldn't have any interest in replacing the connector unless it is damaged. But that is my very own opinion of the type: If it is not broken, don't fix it.

Good luck and have fun!

    Thanks mate.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.

    @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)
