Could try ebgames and look for a used one with an old firmware and then swap the serial but this is illegal. B-)

Not everything in this is legal. In fact: not much in this website is.
and i don't swap the serial (whatever you mean by that), i mostly likely to have both formatted when we trade.

Swapping the back plate which has the serials then returning is illegal but many people do it that's what I was getting at... Find a retail store that has old stock buy it and return it with the back swapped, that's if you country allows open box returns which here in Canada they do. Most people in usa/canada to to EBGames/GameStop because they are to dumb to check for the serial in other places thus easily able to scam them by either swapping the board or if the housing is in condition just swap the back and return. I know somone who found a launch 2ds at a big box retail store recently and he did exactly this.

There have been Atleast one case where nintendo figured out somone switched the back plates and did a return, their console was apparently banned and lost all their digital games, not sure if this story is true but saw it somewhere on gba temp, but many people do this so its relatively safe imo.

    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.

    @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

    @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
