    No problem for watching till the end. I actually needed the info on how to go through all of it. After all. I'm learning how to modify and build and make everything by hand including programs launched and how to make my own software. I'm just going through basic steps, but this helps right now. Futureproofing a 3DS XL. I had a thought on the platic cover you put over the back of the charing port. You could always just make the plastic design you put on the back sink in where the charger would go. Maybe have s tiny tiny bump to kind of lock the charger in place. When you make the center plastic sink enough it could technically go around the port making it look a little cleaner. I could explain with a design maybe?

    • @CanWeFixThat

    That’s awesome. I actually want a DS like that because I’m dreading bringing the proprietary charger with me. USB-C all the way!!!
    question though: I have a small gaming handset (Miyoo Mini v2) that has a problem with power input. It does charge on lower power inputs like a power bank, but if you connect the MacBook charger, it’s not charging.
    Any idea how this Nintendo DS will behave?

    • @CanWeFixThat
      @CanWeFixThat  Год назад

      Hi Rob, I think this is gonna happen, when you are using charger that are PD (Power Delivery) only. The port in this console is "dumb". A PD charger uses a protocol to communicate with the device. Our device can't answer the charger and that is the reason why the charger won't output anything.

    • @TechWandererYT
      @TechWandererYT Год назад +1

    • @CanWeFixThat

      I would rather say the power brick itself is the problem in this chosen scenario. ;) But I am not an expert by any means! Please keep that in mind!

    • @QuentinSingvogel
      @QuentinSingvogel Год назад +1

      the manufacturer of the Miyoo Mini states on their website that you should ONLY use chargers that put out 5V at 1A, nothing more! And that no powerchargers should be used whatsoever. So you should look into some older USB A wall connectors from old smartphones for example, to not blow up your powerpack. That would be a shame considering how hard it is to get your hands on a mini these days ;)

    Or you could buy a microUSB->3DS adapter like what I did. Or buy a USBC->3DS cable is another option too. Also, if I was to do this and expand the plastic hole on the port, a flat needle file is all I would use for that. You would end up with a rectangular hole, perhaps a fine circular needle file could round out the thin side/corners. But that may be still to big.

      Hi Casper, thank you for this interesting idea. Unfortunately I believe it is not that easy. For example the Nintendo Switch Lite is not dockable because it is lacking a controller chip.

    There is a simpler way to do it, there is USB C female ports with tiny boards which has already solded all the pins on the board, you just need to connect the negative and positive to the main board and you're good to go. I have seen people using these in iPhone mods and they also work great with DS/3DS/2DS. But you did a real nice job on this on, I wouldn't have the patience to solder these microscopic pins haha

      Hi JSM, this was just an experimental approach of doing this mod with a bare usb c connector. You are right, with this approach you are unable to use a USB-C USB-C cable with a PD charger due to the missing 5.6 kΩ resistors. With the method in the video the charging rate is around 1A, the same as with the original charging adaptor. In an upcoming video I will redo this mod with a break out board of usb c and the needed resistors.

      To mod your 3DS with USB-C, I highly recommend a breakout board for easier handling. This was just an experiment with soldering directly to the connector.

    It is just easier to purchase a USB to 3DS cable so you can use that with a powerbank or something like that for when you are out and about with your 3DS, if you carry it in a larger carrycase or something. This is still a neat idea though, but can be fairly unnecessary depending on how you look at it. This mod does makes accessibility to having the correct cables much easier so I'll give it that, but the hassle may not be worth it to some (And cutting into the case).

    My home button connector lost its springyness. It is a used console and i guarantee somebody dumb came in, because on top of the lost pringyness, one screw of the D pad is destroyed and i canot unscrew it.
    to counter the lost of springyness, i have put double sided spongy tape on the case, right over the connector and i have taped the battery cables over the connector. The pressure is enough to make the connection.

    If only the new Nintendo 3DS also had the other card slot, Like the DS Lite, the only one they made that can play Gameboy Games. Feel like it could be possible, but it would need an entire internal redesign. ):

    • @sethsuitor
      @sethsuitor 9 месяцев назад

      OK. I will still have hope it is possible for the new Nintendo 3DS, I only think of it because of how much different the sizes between them. There's. gotta be stuff in the new 3DS that doesn't need to be as big as it is. but you would probably have to redo the entire system. Basically, new motherboard, new everything. It would just be a lot of work to even be done. That would be another reason why nobody has done it But they complain about it still. It's basically just making a whole new Console at that point. Which I won't say is a bad thing The old 3Ds Has always lasted longer with its battery than the new XL model, which I felt makes no sense. Just got a new battery for it too. So it's not that.
