#Nintendo #New2DSXL #Homebrew
I already bought a WiiU and a PSVita because of you. STOP THIS MADNESS!
me too, now i have an wii u, ps vita and 3ds xl, but the 3ds is old
They are infact better for emulation than 3ds. The screen of 3ds sucks big time and it's not at all powerfull as compared to ps vita. Please don't buy it for emulation.
Retroarch on psvita rocks.
you seem stressed. buying this thing could help that.
@@AnonymousGentooman The main problem with 3ds screens are that they are not even ips in my new 3ds xl. They are tn which is terrible in case of colour reproduction.
MVG is the reason I even modded my dormant Wii U. It's so cool to have GC games running on a Wii U.
Note: the shimmering in Super Mario 64 is from my camera and doesn't occur in real life
FYI, title says "2DXL" instead of "2DSXL"
I ignored the shimmering.
@@SeanCMonahan fixed
@Mr Heck I was just about to say that, lol
@MVG good looks, and thanks for another fantastic video! Just bought a new 2DSXL on your tip. I look forward to modding the heck out of it. I started messing around with homebrew with the original DS, back when you would bridge a contact with a pencil to flash a custom firmware.
“Brand new Nintendo new 2DS XL”
Nintendo’s naming never ceases to amuse me
naming it the new 3ds is almost as bad as the wii u
Friend: Yo is that a 2ds xl?
Me: No I got the New 2ds xl
Friend: ...So you have to pay more if it isn’t used?
Me: No it’s a New 2ds xl
Friend: I know so you didn’t buy one that was used
Me: No it’s the name of the console
Friend: Yeah 2ds xl
Me: NO IT’S NAME IS NEW 2DS XL GODDAMIT-
They seem to have regained their senses with the Switch, at least for now...
Should've named it nintendo 2ds pro xl
Xbox is worse with theirs lol
As someone who modded their PSP long time ago, this absolutely blows my mind. I may have to pick one of these up and mod it.
The PSP is even easier tho, damn the thing just takes the files on the card, press to run, done. Add ISOs to the card and be happy, all through it's own mass storage mode with Mini-B USB.
I have the chunky 1000 model, for some reason I like it way more than the slim ones (have owned a 2000 and sold away a 3000 too).
Have both and its psp hands down everytime. 3ds/2ds is amazing for backups and still not as easy the drag and drop psp
I just picked up a perfect condition New 3ds Xl with a ton of homebrew additions, and its fucking amazing.
I carry a psp and a old slab 2ds in my bag, and between the two I'm never bored. I'm planing to get a ps Vita and new 3ds xl to have alongside my switch
@@Kalvinjj 1000 definitely feels the best - but the extra ram in the 2k+ is handy for emulation
Watching this video in 2023 makes me wish I'd picked one up back in 2020. I bought mine early last year and paid $225 for it! Even at that price, I am beyond pleased with the device. It is hands down my favorite handheld ever.
At the end, When you said "I have good news" I though you were going to say "I'm Porting Diablo to new Nintendo 2DS XL"
That would've been dope.
Ist all ready done
Diablo is on 3ds
Somebody all ready ported Diablo 1 on the 3ds
Diablo is already on 3ds. It's called devilutionx
You definitely want to get a "New" model of 2DS/3DS for homebrew and emulators. I've always had a bad time trying to get Retroarch to work on a stock 3DS model.
I can also second this.
Say I didn't have many issues as I knew to stay the hell away from the Retroarch cores as much I could. Granted for straight homebrew I prefer my Vita I picked up in February as it has more stuff and I find works a bit better for what I want in a homebrew device.
Yeah he mentions how new 3ds has better specs than regular 2ds
just go with standalone emulators for devices with limited performance, gets rid of all the possible overhead. snes9x runs near perfectly with only occasional skipped frames on my old 3ds.
@@waverazor Yeah but a lot of people don't consider how at-least 75% of all 3DS homebrew is optimized-exclusively for the New models, while they shit the bed and crash on the old models, so only a modest selection of homebrew apps are viable on the old models.
This video couldn’t be more timely, I literally bought a N2DSXL yesterday
I recently purchased one as well. The 50 dollar price cut is what convinced me to purchase.
Jeremy Bennett where did you get yours?
@@henryshu9396 www.nintendo.com/3ds/buynow/
But how does one homebrew their 2ds? Theres no tutorial how...
This video could have been more timely if it was released yesterday when you purchased your Nintendo device.
seeing these sell for just $99 makes me so jealous. I got mine preowned for 120 plus tax 6 months ago and i still felt lucky.
i got mine for 180 plus tax just last month
Don't worry man, I got my special edition new 3ds for $320 tax included
@@vicchannel4049 yeah , the market is really different than it was a year ago ..
just bought one + pokemon moon for $140, luckily i still have pokemon y and ssb4, havent had a 2ds in over 6 years
@@maudsuicgusiagdsa where did you get yours from? just used or some refurbishing website
Another good "emulation" feature that the new 2ds and 3ds can do are the injections, this runs gba games perfectly
I think it runs them natively
I think there are a few issues with certain gba games, but I wouldn’t know them off the top of my head
Do I need to own the physical games?
@@blehhg2961 A great work around I'm using is by converting the.gba files to .cia, and then extracting them with FBI
@@blehhg2961 The only problem I noted was that games that use a gyroscope don't work properly.
@@sparda11 TL;DR: Nyes.
You don't _need_ to own the carts to play, but if you don't rip your own ROMs, it's piracy. How you feel with piracy is up to you.
I remember everyone arguing about if n64 emulation would be possible even on the n3ds
Dreamcast is coming in the future as well
If it runs Star Wars shadows of the empire for the N64 I’m sold.
I don't see why not. I had full speed N64 emulation in late 2013-2014ish on my Sony Xperia SP and ZTE Avid 4G...
@@duke45jp becoz power doesnt necessary mean good compability. Psvita still doesnt run psp at native resolution, yet phones do.
@@cursedshadow The Vita has an ARM processor. Just not as up to date as today's processors. A higher clock would probably help.
But in all honesty. My Galaxy S8+ shouldn't be running GameCube games as well as it should. It's up to the software at this point.
I'd like to add that replacing the c-nub with a psp nub is a great improvement to the system and super cheap and easy to do!
If only a 2DSXL was 100 dollars LOL
This vid made me buy one! 😃 I've been wanting a 3DS system since 2013 but totally forgot about it. The time has come
how is it? i want one too but its old :/
@@bananus815 i have one i got it ages ago and its great
Really nice seeing the N64 performance, I had no idea it was this playable!
I actually followed your tutorial of the 3DS and modded my own 2DSXL back in December. It’s honestly thanks to you that I got in the modding and home-brew scene in the first place.
Dumb question probably but... After the 2dsxl is hacked it can play 3ds games, right?
dumb question indeed, but yes, the n2dsxl can play 3ds games when its modded@@infinitegodman
PCSX ReArmed is heavily optimized for CHD and PBP format only.
ISO and Bin files can run significantly worse and can overall be less compatible, unless it's 2D games. There is an outdated PCSX ReArmed compability list (we need to catch up) on GBAtemp, which functions as a guide with recommended settings as well.
The emulator already performs amazingly by now. I'd say more than 85% of games are very compatible. You can almost throw any game at it with good success of having an enjoyable experience. Most of them can run near full speed and more important hold it's frame rate with some occasionally frame dips pretty well. However, small an medium frame dips are still pretty common with most of the demanding 3D games.
That's why I can't recommend any games other than the games you like. However you need to convert them right and have good settings. CHDMAN and PSX to PSP is a good choice to start.
Having to convert each single one of them is fucking stressful and not worth it.
@@UltraAhmetDoray CHDMAN batch converts all BIN + CUE files to CHD within a folder automatically.
Chdman actually is pretty easy to use and works to save a bit of space.
@@largolagrande hmm good to know thanks 👍🏿

Bought this last week I missed having a clamshell device in my pocket trying to 100% Majora's mask again
I did this a few days ago and it was pretty easy considering I've never did anything like this and it's amazing. I already had knowledge of roms so getting games wasn't a problem. Love my my new NEW 2ds xl
what website u get ur roms
I find it funny that to mod my new3DS I used a magnet to make it go into sleep mode hah. fun modding things
What ?
@@iamnotyourbuddyGUY the installation guide (using ntrboot) explains it in better detail, but basically there's a sort of recovery mode that you can access by pressing some of the buttons whilst the lid is detected as "closed" by a magnetic switch in the system.
@@luznoceda5322 I can't remember, the ntrboot guide will describe it
Well I wanted to pause the game without closing and opening up the lid every 5-10 minutes (thus waring it down).
Asked for a mod for button combo sleep, and was told that sleep function only activated when it detects the magnet of the speaker when the lid is closed.
So, I ripped a magnet from a freezer decoration and now I can pause whenever by placing that little manget
And now U don't even have to do that old school trick ...
I come from the future and new 2ds xl's are costing $200+ now

I just realized that i've bought the systems you've given away after seeing your videos about them.
I guess i'm buying a 2DS XL next...
Just bought one of these $99 walmart 2DS XL Mario Kart 7 bundles. Figured I could do homebrew tinkering with it, and then in a year or so give it to my oldest as her first Nintendo, loaded up with lots of games. Thanks for this!
How you were able to do fireball forward motions on that little d-pad is what impressed me the most.
I recently bought the 208 in 1 for ds to use on my 7 (8 in 1 month) year old 3ds xl and it is so amazing!
Love the video, MVG - I just picked up this console at Wal-Mart as well. Since Nintendo doesn't want me to have access to my $500 of 3DS purchases on two systems at once, there's nothing to do with the system I just bought, so I'm planning to mod it and play through some older homebrew I've missed. Great video and timing as always!
Here's a tip to speed up retroarch: delete the core .cia files and info files you don't use and it'll load much much faster.
Also why not mention gba?
Thanks for the tip! Do you happen to know as well how to remove a core icon from the 3DS home menu? I tried removing them through data management but they always automatically gets restored for some reason.
@@WiZzArDStudios Do you have FBI? If you do, go under Titles, then find the core you want to delete, press A, then Delete Title and Ticket.
@@Immadeus I don't think that works because the cores used are installed as cias at launch if they aren't already. I don't know the reasoning, but since it takes 20 seconds to load a core, it's more effective to have the shortcuts.
I think he’s mainly focusing on what the new 2DS can do that an old 2DS can’t - he does have a video on the original already iirc
@@WiZzArDStudios they're installed whenever you load them up. You can remove all tiles you don't use anyway, but for those you use, the best, you can do is hide them away at the end of some folder.
Ironically I actually decided to mod my N3DSXL a day before this was uploaded and struggled a bit with actually finding and downloading stuff so this video directing me to guides that are extremely easy to follow is a huge help, thanks MVG!
Meanwhile they are 300+ dollars a year later
Not sure if you still care about this, but the Japanese New 2DS LL are significantly cheaper. I just picked one up for ~160 dollars; which isn't amazing, but it's way better than the ~700 you'd normally spend.
That it runs Quake 3 that is really cool 😄
Runs likr a charm on the 2ds😎😎 wicked!!
Wicked cool 😉
Ahhhhh package from China
hey Mr wicked!
I ain't afraid of no quake
I always on the look for that one in my area. I saw a regular 2ds for about 80usd and ordered it right away, while I was waiting for the seller to ship the 2ds I came upon a New 3ds xl for 100usd in very good condition(almost brand new) with 4 3ds and 11 ds cartridge. I had to cancel the 2ds order and fortunately the seller was nice to understand the situation and she also has problems shipping the 2ds because of the pandemic. It was my best purchase ever.
Nice, I love customizing game consoles and handhelds inside and out
Uh....what happens if you mess up?
@@AGZhark sometimes it's no big deal and sometimes it is my friend
Atomic Greninja At least from my perspective, I never mess with any hardware that I know I can’t fix if I accidentally screw up. The risk and opportunity to learn from the process is part of the fun
@MVG I missed the first time these went on sale but after your recommendation I made sure to get next time Walmart started selling more. Thanks!
Modding is the second half of the experience. I love it.
Seeing half life and quake running on a 3ds left me speechless, you convinced me to buy a new3ds
It's $299 nowadays 😭
3:28 that 2DS logo on the left tho
Another crazy thing is that some insane people are looking into bringing a Dreamcast emulator over to the 3ds as well
Man...Imagine like, Sonic Adventure on the go.
Man, I can't even play Daytona USA Dreamcast fullspeed on Switch
Dreamcast SHMUPs on the go!
I know the PlayStation Vita is getting one but didn't hear about a 3DS one
The contest has ended
Wow! You were first by a long shot! ;)
I really suggest you look for one of these on Amazon: MoKo Handle Grip for Nintendo New 2DS XL , I don't hate the 2DS XL without it, but damn is it ever comfy with it.

Thanks! I'm definitely participating! Great video, honestly. Wonderful content. Half-Life on a handheld? Yes, please!
i already did this to my new 2ds xl
I bought one of these about a year ago, and really haven't used it much. Definitely going to mod it after seeing what this thing is capable of. Pretty impressive.
What an aptly timed video. I recently used some of my stimulus check ti buy this exact model new. Took me a while to get around to putting a CFW on it but now its choc full of games and even some of my favorite shows thanks to an r4i gold card and moonshell.
the way he says "nintendo new 2ds" instead of "new nintendo 2ds"
your cadence when you started discussing the R4 gold had me very scared LOL
it wasn'tthe "XL" line that was faster it was the "New"
I've just installed retroarch on a new 2dsxl using the flashcard exploit, it took me several hours, not easy with latest firmware. Thank you for this video, now I can play Sonic 3 Complete in portable mode.
God dammit. Every time you make one of these videos I end up buying hardware and spending a weekend homebrewing, then never touch the thing again. So fun :D
Good timing, been planning to buy one of these, never got to play most of the DS library so this will be a great addition to my portable gaming
Yeah i only played them when i used ti have a real ds and games like bowsers inside story on pc
no longer 100 now its 700
I wish i got one before it was discontinued. I planned to but I put it off until i saw in the news that it was discontinued months ago and now it's scalped af..
it's not scalped and the people selling it for a higher cost aren't scummy, it's value in general raised from the fact that they are never going to be produced ever again. it's shitty, but it's not immoral like actual scalping is. i still recommend getting one, i bought a 2ds xl pretty recently and even with the high price you get every single game on it + all the other nintendo handhelds prior to it for free. i recommend checking facebook marketplace before anywhere else because you could find it being sold by people that have no idea the price has gone up.
Thank you so much for all the hard work! We all appreciate you more then we can ever show! I just ordered one from Wal-Mart. Can't wait to test it out
I wish I could have one of those, but Nintendo products are very pricey in Brazil, 3Ds and 2Ds XL basically has the same price of a brand new switch, which is already very expensive on its own
I'm not seeing this priced $99 anywhere here in the US?
Edit: I had to go to the nintendo.com official site, go to the DS family page, and click "Buy Now" button to be redirected to a Walmart page with the $99 price. Annoying.
I see $154. Do you still have that link?
@@ktlewis02 That was a sale from a while ago. I'm not sure if the DS is discontinued already or not. When it does, prices will go up.
@@chbrules it’s on store.nintendo
Man I wish I had money back then to get this. Now it’s impossible to get this stuff for under 150 and in box for some it can be all the way up to 400.
Insane how the prices are, I still remember a NEW 3ds XL snes Mario kart version being $150 during an Amazon prime sale… man I should’ve bought it but I already bought a few days befor a new 2ds xl for $130 at Target lmao, I think I did a mistake at not choosing the Pikachu edition new 2ds xl when I was in store lmao but whatever, only wanted it for monster hunter 4.
Now.. that pikachu 2ds XL goes for an outrageous price lmao.
I kind of regret not waiting for the 2ds xl but im still content with the base 2ds
i had bought a new 2ds xl new for 80€ (because it didn't have the mario kart 7 gamecode in it) just before the pandemic hit but i never really played much with it, until now. Two years later and i thought to test this out on my old 2ds incase anything goes wrong and? It worked flawless so i did the same to my new 2ds xl and same results. Now i got a literal beast and i was never happier
As the Romanian translator and proofreader of the Hack Guides, am proud to see the Guide getting the popularity it deserves.
Shame they didnt make the “new” line of 3ds’ at least 480p
Wait they aren't?
@Cuca Beludo sad, the new 3ds lineup had so much potential
At that point you may as well make a new handheld.
They didn't want to break compatibility with old games. Also, I don't know if the gpu could stand the up on resolution. Also maybe it would have made the handheld more expensive.
You don't notice the resolution if you actually have the console in your hands so making it 480p would be useless
I bought Animal Crossing New Leaf on this system last month. Big mistake as I can never finish anyt... Now to play the game.
I got it...I think last month too
Oof same. I ended up selling mine 5 years ago. 😅
a good title for your time in house
I watched this today and was immediately sold, I love hacking my consoles and handhelds but needed something with more power, the Vita while awesome just didn't have enough oomph. I went to my local Walmart and bought one of the 3 remaining for $99. Let the games begin!! Thanks a bunch for this video. Cheers!
Months later it's sitting in a drawer and I'm back to using my Vita. Homebrew on this thing isn't great to say the least.
What brought you back if i may ask?
I'll admit though...you had me in the end there
@@Moe_Lester_fromUptwn I still do use it time to time, this past week I brought the 2dsXL on vacation vs my Vita and I ended up playing on...my phone.
The Vitas homebrew community is so much more mature, who knows, maybe the 3ds community will catch up at some point, it's getting there!
I work at a games retailer in the US. About a month after the switch light was released all of the DS products including games and consoles showed up discontinued in our system, we slowly sold through all of our DS consoles and Nintendo has not sent us any more to this day. Last week we revised the Nintendo case and the shelf locations and labels for the DS systems are gone and all the remaining DS games and accessories are clearanced. If you’re interested in a new DS system I would highly advise trying to buy one now because they have been discounted for a while now and there won’t be anymore new units. When I was talking with the Nintendo rep a few months ago she told me that the switch lite is the replacement for the DS family of portable systems, Nintendo is only going to maintain the switch platforms going forward.
Should have really got me one of these never knew they would triple in price after production ended.
Well you were right, but much closer than "by year's end". :/
When you saw the *unofficial* 2DS logo he chose with the *official* New 2DS XL logo and you have an OCD
SAME
Well now I feel like a dingus for getting one of those R4 carts I got on a whim but haven't even gotten around using yet. For a year.
It still has better game compatibility, and also makes the modding process for a 3ds even quicker/simpler, so it's not really a waste either.
@D. Mood, the first time I was setting up TWiLight, it felt like a hassle even setting it up (fairly sure I did something wrong, just wasn't sure what, since I did get it working eventually). Got an R4i Gold 3DS Plus a few months ago, and I really like it a lot.
I mean, if your 3DS gets bricked, if you have a flashcart that can use NTRboot, you can use that to unbrick, IIRC. Plus, if you have multiple systems to mod, you can use just the one card, too. I personally like having something to occupy the card slot, so I have my flashcart there.
@@helentran204 What kind of unbricking you mean? Don't remember now (not as doubting, just really forgot), was it that you boot it straight from the NTRboot and perform recovery straight from that? One tip I would always give too is having a NAND backup, can save you from pretty much any issue from what I've seen. With that you're quite safe whatever happens to it, unless the hardware itself dies of course. It has saved my ass once.
You can even hardmod the console and inject the backed up NAND straight into the console's memory chip in case everything else fails. It's one of those things you really cannot skip when modding, when I did it to friends or so I always store the backup on a cloud folder as well so they (hopefully) download it too and keep it safe.
Dingus stinks
4:08 is where it starts :)❤
These things have skyrocketed on the after market. On ebay I can't find anything less than like $250. I own a few 3ds devices but I decided to finally buy the lavender new 2ds LL since the region doesn't matter and I found it for a reasonable price (150)
I thought it was the "new" that came with extra features not the "xl" which is just the physically bigger one.
Because it is, there's no difference between the new3ds/new3dsXL/new2dsXL
Yes. "New" is the extra performance, the XL is the larger device. To note, there was no 2DS XL, there was only the 2DS, that has ceased production and there is now only the "New" 2DS XL.
This is why this hand heald didn't do too well.
Naming is big. Anyone remember the wii u?
@@appletuntrainer what? Are you stupid or something? They sold 80 million of these things
It is because there is no New 2DS standard size.
3DS - 3DS XL - 2DS = All the same, old hardware
New 3DS - New 3DS XL - New 2DS XL = All the same, better than the older line.
Boy, I wish I'd watched this 9 months ago when it came out... it's nuts what they're selling for now.
I got mine for $100. How much are they selling them for now?

Good luck everyone entering.. glad to hear it was modded before it was given away.. looks like a great little unit for emulation and possibly something for my self in the car when I get bored..

Be sure to use virtual console emulation using the super injector and Twilight menu++ works fantastic for DSi emulation.
I've been waiting for the price drop to $100
@@jasong6501 I had to dig around to find the $99 price drop online. It's specifically on Walmart, for the black Mario Kart 7 bundle. I had to go through the Nintendo site to find it, since everywhere else is still just selling used ones for up to $200.
@@Some__Guy its insane. I dont know why people are selling them used for $200. It'd make sense if it came with $100 worth of games but those are $300 everywhere I've looked
i few years back i got a new 3ds non xl for 99 bucks from walmart's website on their black friday sale, what a great deal. I kept it clean and it's soft modded with loads of games on top of all the ds and 3ds carts i already had.
I had an itch to scratch, I already own 2 Vita's but I haven't owned a Nintendo system since the very first Game Boy and your 2DS videos and others from YT made me decide to get a 3DS, so here I am, owner of a brand new New 3DS XL, I've spent the night hacking it 'cause even with the amazing guide I'm just slow, mine comes from my grocery store's multimedia area, they didn't even have a power cable sold separately for it, I've passed by this console doing my groceries many times... And now that I'm wanting to get it, nothing to charge it with? It was all in the moment and having to get anything online might have made me think twice about the whole purchase. So I took my car, went to much bigger stores, and they had no 3DS at all! But I found a power cord for almost every existing handhelds, paid extra when I only needed a basic cable and a decently sized micro SD xD... And back to my local store for the console. Anyway, it came with an old V9.X something FW so I used the sound hack method before being able to install boot9strap and continue with gm9 and Luma! I won't even bother installing retroarch and Daedalus or all the PC ports, having those on Vita's already, but I'm super glad to have this one :) The N64 Zelda ports look crazy nice with the 3D, with eye tracking it's an awesome thing honestly!
I modded my brother's New 3DS XL for him a little while ago and it was honestly one of the easiest mods I've ever done. 3ds.hacks.guide is extremely easy to follow and definetally recommend it to anyone wanting to get a little more life out of their 3DS/2DS as it just makes it much better. And to clarify for people unaware, SOME of the R4 cards (Such as Gateway cards) will work for 3DS stuff, however you have to be running an extremely old firmware and it's just not worth it when the softmod is free to do.
I would still recommend an R4 card anyway for the DS games, it just runs them better than Twilight or what was the emulation thing (plus you can separate the storage for the DS games, effectively adding more of it for 3DS stuff, no DS games there after all).
I was doing a quick read up on the retroarch faq and it said that on boot the loading times are long because every core installed is initialized on boot. If you get rid of cores you don't use in your /cores folder it will reduce the load times significantly.
i want to buy one too in 4 months probably. is it worth it? because its old
N64 Aspect Ratio squad want to know your location.
@@AnonymousGentooman the discord release currently supports aspect ratio atm. They're currently allowing different languages to be used and making a ui change
You say that the ds flashcards aren't great for 3ds modding but remember that you can use ntrboot which has the added benefit of being able to recover nearly every brick.
Just bought this at Walmart myself for 99 bucks last week! You cannot beat this deal at all! I love it! I bought the original 3ds when it launched in 2011 and got rid of it about 3 years ago. I wasn’t really sold on the 3D back then but some games did look cool.
I really hope I can win the DS, I haven't had a new console since 2010 HAHA
My newest console is a XBOX 360, games just aren't what they used to be anymore, games truely got better and better but man has this hobby become expensive. I just couldn't keep up and I don't have the money to keep up.
Sounds like you’re a grown adult. Try to get a new job
I don't know if games got better, just graphics. If anything games have either stalled or gone backwards
@@OwnD1 I'll say this, sometimes it's better for us to keep quiet and not assume things from other poeples lives if you don't know the full extent of other peoples livelihood. While true, I am an adult, I'm also medically disabled, but then again, how do you know if I have a job or not? I do have a "job" (repairing computers on the side) but it's barely enough to get by, And I can't simply get a new job considering I had to stop my studies so that I may recover.
@@fryncyaryorvjink2140 You don't think games have gotten better over the years? It's true that what has improved over the years has been graphics more so then gameplay, but you have to at least give a little credit where credit is due.
There was a huge boom in microtransactions and I think that's where gaming took a huge leap backwards, but not all companies do that, not respectable ones atleast. There have been a slew of amazing tittles with great narratives and gameplay the past decade though, that I will admit.
@@InDeath theres a few exceptions, sure, but overall a lot of games are more like work than fun, grinding forever to level up and unlock something thats not really worth the time wasted. Sitting through hours of dialogue, thats called a movie, or a tv show. And as I already said, cpu advancements have been wasted on graphics rather than gameplay. We all thought we'd have destructible environments by now, or awesome physics, in just about every game that involves weapons. Instead, everythings gone microtransaction, $3 for a blue hat, pretty soon we'll be popping quarters every minute to keep playing
They are $190 here in Czech Republic :(
I recenty got similar bundle in Poland for around 99€ so I would not be suprised for similar clearances in other countries.
Bohužel 😕 ale jdou sehnat i použité new 3ds xl které mají navíc i 3d 👍 nevěděl jsem že tenhle kanál sleduje nějaký Čech... super😁😊
Hoši nesmíte kupovat u jrc a ostatních nejvetší slevu mělo czc.cz na nintendo 2DS XL a to bylo 2200 kč :D jinak klasické 2DS zapadka do dveří stojí 1990 kč
Na sbazaru nebo na Facebook se daj sehnat za rozumný peníze, většinou s extra hrama.
@@Szulc2441 Where? Even used cost more...
Funny thing actually happened while I was modding my New 2DS XL. Basically, while I was installing the Homebrew software, I was noticing some weird crap on the SD card, but I ignored it and just followed the tutorial I was using. Once I opened up my Homebrew for the first time, I discovered that my New 2DS XL, which had been refurbished by Nintendo themselves, had someone else's Homebrew on the SD card! I got rid of some of it, and updated the version of mGBA they had on there, but that was kind of funny.
Also, does Daedalus require a specific crack to work? I tried to use it with my Steelhax, and the thing would just freeze whenever I tried to load it.
i want to buy one too in 4 months probably. is it worth it? because its old
@@bananus815 Yeah, it's pretty worth it to Homebrew.
@@YourUncleBenis hmm ok. I just didnt know bc i feel weird when using old things
00:36 the boosted performance is not a characteristic of the XL line, its a feature of the NEW line.
I had been putting off buying one of these for the last few years. Hearing the price drop to 99.99 woke me up. They are definitely on the way out soon so I just ordered one. Thanks for the low down on the homebrew! I can't wait to get mine set up.
Luckily for me theres a walmart nearby that has the $99.99 2Ds xl so that's something to work towards for me :D
My nearest walmart ran out of 2ds system my sister wanted one
I mean, I already have a ps vita I didn't know I needed this until I saw the price tag
Quick Question, where to buy a brand new $99 New 2DS XL with box?
At any store before 2020. Unless you have a time machine, you’re better off buying a used one with some games for $180-250. Some Japanese ones are a bit cheaper though, but then you’ll have to deal with international shipping charges
This was specifically around May/June 2020. Nintendo bundled remaining New 2DS XL stock with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed and reduced the price to $99. These sold very quickly, and you are out of luck getting it anywhere near this price now.
So looking forward to this. I literally did the same thing a few months back.
Im sure many people have more than 1 3DS. I bought the original on release and later got an Ambassador edition newer one, that i cherish dearly. I homebrewed the original 3DS and ofcourse there are a few downfalls. I spied a cheaper one like the one in your video recently and just had to go all out on it. In terms of my social life, its embarassing how many 3DS games i own...and lets not catalogue my regular DS games.
Its been rather fun, especially during these quarantine times, to work on a project of putting all my games in one place. And some kind of system in place to backup up my saves two and from my PC. Haven't a few methods and exploring multiple optiosn of it. Its been incredibly fun.
Even the streaming side was a fun experiment though...my poor wifi =]
Can i saw the homebrew discord channels are also incredibly helpful whilst also maintaining major paitence with peoples rather ignorant computer questions (mine included)
Love the idea of backing up all my games and having their saves consistent across device emulators without the need constnatly copy files and stuff.... working on it slowly. Validating all my game installs and checking my saves are all restored....is a long process lol. My major thing i want this for would be hte pokemon games. When you transfer pokemon up a generation to some extent its usually a one way deal. Homebrew has allowed me to backup my pokemon prior to sending them up. Then i can restore. This is all for personal reasons. Its just nice to have the team in the original games.
PS, going to binge your videos good sir. Your pressence on Spawncast has become part of my sunday ritual. Its so wholesome and great. I like the techie side you bring - the grey area topics and developer knowledge with porting etc
Just picked this exact handheld up a couple weeks ago and followed the same website guide. Kudos to the creators of those sites, I used the same one for my WiiU.
I really missed my 3DS after giving it away, so I finally decided to replace it with a New 2DS XL :D The prices are absolutely shocking at the moment, going anywhere from £90-140 each. Thankfully a friend sold me his boxed n2DSXL - along with a couple of games and a charging dock! - for only £60 + postage. I'm super psyched and I can't wait to get back into homebrew'ing it up again!
I was drunk and came here to see someone brew beer on a 2ds. Don’t know what I was thinking
i Brew wine at home ..
I can't even find a new 2ds xl. :(
Shits like 200+ now
I managed to nab the small New 3DS with the Mario stuff printed all over the case when it came to North America for a short while. I used to think nothing would top a hacked PSP but this is my favourite homebrew system ever.
Literally bought this 2 days after watching this video, got it yesterday, modded it straight out of the box and put some games and Homebrews on it, with a 64 gb Samsung micro SD.
Few notes.
It's very easy. I've no experience before my ds hack and this was easy to follow.
2 you don't need a strong pc. You can have someone else's break the code for you seed miner exploit. Took maybe 2 minutes.
Port Diablo I to it, and use the second screen to see the inventary
Great! I can't wait to play the games that companies won't rerelease! Ya hear that MS? Quit killin Rare and bring me back some classic Goldeneye!
Damn, imagine a Goldeneye with modern graphics. That would be a blast
@@dude3718 Look up GoldenEye: Source. I think the closest we'll ever get.
AFFLiCTED1
I already did, but you know what I mean.
nice. I just ordered one of these because I wanted bigger screens to play my 3ds games. now, I'm gonna home brew the crap out of it. thanks dude
Having a 3DS console its a must for portable gaming. If you travel a lot or something like that you will like the experience of this handheld, I love mine and spent tons of hours playing Mario Kart 7 online
