      Plus all 8 bit, all 16 bit and even some 32 bit systems.
      For me it's a tie with ps vita, because the n3ds natively runs DS games but ps vita support for ps1 games is much better (pretty much 100%) + psp. For me it all depends on the mood of the day, at least until the Switch is finally cracked for good.

    This is the console that I've been using for homebrew recently. I've had it since launch, though for those buying I'd say beware of some of the issues with this 3ds. I love this console but both me and several others have had the battery become inflated and unusable after use, though you can easily replace it with another 3ds battery. The paint also seems to peel off very easily after using it for a bit. I don't know if later models fix this. Also, be careful taking the back cover off, you can break it very easily if you're too rough. But if you do you won't have to worry about taking the cover off again I guess ;)

    I bought a new Pearl White LL about a year ago and looked through the guide to change regions on it. At the time, the guide suggested opening it up, soldering wires to the pads around the internal flash chip, and using a specific SD card reader to write a new flash image. I decided to shelve it until I could get around to designing a flat flex PCB that would slip through the external SD card slot. It has been sitting, disassembled, on my shelf since.
    This looks easier. Think I’ll just do this.

    Man I remember when I first installed CFW on my 3DS, back then the process was incredibly difficult and it involved flashing an incredibly old firmware for a bit to allow for an exploit. It took like 5-6 hours to fully install CFW and any little mistake would brick the 3DS and be completely unrecoverable. Pretty amazing to see it brought down to 5 mins!

The New 2DS XL however, actually have substantial smearing. which is very apparent on NES-like games (bright colors and sharp contrast edges with smooth scrolling)

    • @PixelShade
      @PixelShade 3 года назад +7

      @@mmpsp693 I definitely agree with the scaling. it's a shame. But I rather take the 3DS due to the extensive high quality 3DS library of games. GBA had a lot of low res ports with washed out colors, which can often be found on the Virtual Console (with injection). and although the DS had a lot of good games. I don't come back to those as easily today. I'd rather play the native Mario 64 port for 3DS. Mario Kart 7, Mario 3D Land etc. Browser's inside story was re-released for the 3DS as well. The DS was amazing at its time. But Nintendo quickly outshined that format with the 3DS. (For GBA games you can actually play in native resolution and on the XL and the screen size is the same as the original hardware... but I rather take the scaling and larger picture) there's a massive benefit of having all games collect ed on one machine.

Of course I never got around to any of that and those pesky little concerns like bricking the thing and all in all this being a fairly 'naughty' business as far as the world is concerned meant I never gave it that much thought. When I found this channel though it reminded me such things were possible and honestly I was waiting for this video.

    In addition to ripping games from the carts, you can also use Checkpoint to pull save data off of them as well, then load them onto your built-in memory for use with dumped games.

    There is also Xash3DS, 3DS port of Xash open source reimplementation of GoldSrc. Basically you can play Half-Life on 3DS.

      I don't think it's a good idea with just one analog stick. You can play it in 720p at 60 fps on the Snes mini though.

    Thanks for revisiting this topic. The mod looks so easy to do now, I may do it to one of my 3DS systems. I really dig the idea of being able to rip my carts to the SD card.

    I did the CFW on a $100 2DS XL and oh boi.... GBA games are bittersweet on the 3DS. And it's a great way to play all the 2D Metroid games before Dread

    It almost feels like more of these are modded than not. I bought a secondhand 2ds XL recently that when I got was already modded lol. Saved me time.
