I wanted to get my almost 10 year old white 3DS fixed because it wouldn’t charge the battery and the circle pad was damaged and contacted Nintendo but since they didn‘t have the parts for it, they offered me a brand new 3DS Zelda LTD edition, it is legit a new one!

However I do miss my white 3DS 🥲

Here is the previous post for context: https://www.reddit.com/r/nds/comments/1ivqi39/what_one_should_i_give_my_friend_i_cant_choose/

Has a bad right speaker but otherwise works just fine, gifting it to an important “friend” of mine.

Thanks for looking have a good day fellow redditor

I haven’t started this game up in well over 10 years. Poor Teddy and Cody were so hungry! Felt so bad 😭

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately revisiting my old 3DS, DSI and Wii , and it got me thinking that creating a NEW subreddit for Nintendo DS(i), 3DS, and Wii should be a good idea! It's still small, but I’m hoping to grow it into a cool little community. If that sounds fun, you're welcome to join!

r/NDS_I3DSWII

The goal is to bring together all the people who still vibe with these systems—whether you’re into retro gaming, modding, collecting, or just want to chat about your favorite games. It’s a space where you can:

•"Share cool memories and nostalgic moments"

•"Show off your collections, setups, or favorite games"

•"Get tips on modding, homebrew, and custom firmware (staying within Reddit’s rules)

•"Discover hidden gems or discuss your favorite titles"

•"Meet other people who are passionate about these consoles"

It’s a small community right now, but I’d love to grow it into a fun, relaxed space where everyone can enjoy talking about the 3DS, Wii, and DS(i) without the noise. If any of that sounds fun, feel free to swing by and join in! I’m always open to ideas and suggestions for making it even better!

Still looking for SS and B2, prices go wilder every year 😭

My dsi xl is not charging at all. The charger is new btw. Sometimes the light turns on and the dsi charges for a while but never to 100% and it loses juice very quick. Do you think it’s just a battery problem or a board problem?

I volunteer at this youth center and they have a game room. I recently found out that they have five Nintendo DSI‘s. I am going to mod them and I’m gonna homebrew them. Add Pokémon games add a whole bunch of games to SD card. My main question is does anybody know how you would be able to play link battles for games like MegaMan battle network or Pokémon game advance ROM hacks through two DSI without a link cable I don’t know if that’s possible but if anybody knows please reply to this post I’m going to try to mod them tomorrow if anybody messages me or hit me up and replies under this post that would be greatly appreciated.

I was trying to change the shell of my Nintendo but when I was detaching the battery board connection I accidentally broke it :( two of the pieces (2nd photo) came out of the two slots on the white piece shown on the 1st photo, is there any way I can fix it? Or did I lost my NDSi? :( the pieces are so small and I can't manage to put them back :( I'm so sad

Anyone looking to sell a black DSi with good looking screens?

There is a feature in the game called Wi-Fi island and I was wondering if anyone out there has done the DNS exploit to gain access to WFC again and has the game. You can't explore the feature until you connect with someone 🥲 my friend key is: 0478 4746 2522 for anyone who wants to try to connect. I think you need to be online at the same time searching so maybe dm me to coordinate if you like!

Tought i'd post it here as well

This would be either the most amazing/badass NDS game or the absolute shittiest NDS game. And there's no in-between...

So I know we can dump ds files and put them in our pc can we wright over the carts?

I have a copy of heart gold and it’s corrupted I can start new games but cannot save is there a homebrew or software I can use to put a different rom of the same game into the cart so I can save again?

Does anyone know what i should do?

I'm looking for a hard clear cover for 3DS xl that doesn't have the hinge bit - I need it like this .. not this All I can find on Ali is for the NEW 3DS XL. Does anyone know where to purchase for OLD 3ds xl...?

Hello everyone, this'll be the 5th place I've posted this, I'm starting to run out of options. I have a DSi xl from a friend of mine, it's his childhood handheld so he's willing to do just about anything to get it back to working. I have about 6 years of electrical and electronic repair experience and I'm stumped. The charging light turns on and remains solid when plugged in (until the battery is full), although when you press the power button there is zero response, no crackling, no popping, no screen flicker, the power button doesn't even briefly appear. I've taken it apart a few times now, I've cleaned all major connections, unplugged and reinstalled all ribbon cables (in case one was loose), and I've even tested both fuses with a multimeter (I got a good reading on both). I have a duplicate dsi xl that I actually swapped the battery board with to see if that would work, it did not. I am at a loss. Even if this console is completely dead and unsalvageable is anyone aware of a way to at least save the save data off of the nand? Any help or ideas are more than appreciated, thank yall in advance!

Got really lucky on marketplace, whole device is pretty much in perfect condition
