@@pr9334 Good look finding the .dsi files! Only decently sized archive I've found is installables for 3DS systems, which you have to install on a 3DS, dig into the executable with GodMode9, and extract the title.bin, then rename to .dsi to move back to your DSi to play. A total hassle.
The r/roms mega thread has a full dsiware rom archive that can be played through twilight menu. Dunno about hiya, didn't bother installing since twilight pretty much obsoletes the stock DSi menu in every way.
this comment is old but from somebody who knows very little about collecting consoles how can you tell if a sealed console is actually 100% unused and "new" without opening it? i imagine there are ways but im curious
@@user-ci6oo1uv2k honestly it comes down to mainly trusting your seller. There's also graded consoles which will be approved by an official company. Then there's just praying by buying off of ebay and stuff. If you're in person, just look for ANY sign of it being opened like the tape looking off, looking too brand new for it's age. Color breaks, creasing on flaps of the box. Etc. It's really tough. Some consoles never came "sealed" too and those are the hardest ones cause someone can just reclose it.
I love hearing Scott’s little personal stories, like downloading Flipnote Studio in his front yard with his neighbor’s WiFi. Little stories like that give gaming so much life for the people who share the experiences :)
That story he shared made me think back to when I played WarioWare D.I.Y. regularly and asked my neighbor for permission to use their WiFi to connect online with the game because my family's own router's encryption was too strong to let me use my own WiFi for DS games.
This would be the ultimate DS if it had a GBA slot. I love how sharp the games look on here compared to the 3DS XL line due to the lack of smoothing. Also I just love blue
Not sure if it helps, but the 3DS has a "DS" mode where it dosen't stretch the image I believe it's hold start and select. It's not really talked about, but it looks marginally better to me
@@crypticpoptart Yeah I know about that, but sadly it letterboxes the screen down to native size, which is impractical. I wish you could disable the smoothing, but at the same time it’s a non-integer scale, so it’d have ultimately looked worse
I loved hearing Scott’s story about walking around outside with his DSi and randomly connecting to a neighbor’s wifi. It was at a time when most people had open wifi connections because they didn’t know better.
The Mario DS Lite that you showed brought back so much memories, I've always wanted that specific version but never bought it because I already had like what felt like 50 DS's. Amazing video :]
This video brings back so many memories. The blue DSi XL was my first ever console and I still have it to this day. I even still have the original BLUE (not green) pen-style stylus that came with it. I remember I got lego Star Wars the complete saga with it and I played that game so much that parts of it started getting corrupted. Mario Kart DS is a close second in terms of favorites on the platform. Thank you for making this video! It honestly made my day. Please don’t stop making videos like this even if it’s just occasionally.
OOF! That ending was so sad :( We were all expecting it to be in mint condition, but to our dismay, he ended up getting a used one in disguise. I’m pretty sure that pen was a replacement.

4:13 I've had luck kinda 'sawing' at the seal with a butter knife, just kinda slowly working my way down for boxes like that. You could also just use an X-acto blade to cleanly cut the bottom open, I guess.
What was nice about the XL models of DSi is all of them had a premium IPS screen. The screens were really really nice compared to 3DS screens that was a total lottery when it came to quality.
@@Ghostmanetx they're the best way to play DS games. Every DSi XL came with 2 IPS screens, so the colors are amazing and the games look better than ever. You're going to get the most out of them by putting custom firmware on them tho (aka "modding" them) to play games off of an SD card without needing game carts. The buttons are nice and clicky and it feels like a premium console in the hands. If all that sounds good to you, then I would say they're worth it. Keep in mind you can also play DS games on a 3DS family system tho. A New 3DS XL is an *okay* way to play DS games, for example, while also being able to play 3DS games and being better at GB/GBC/GBA/NES/SNES emulation (tricking the system into thinking any given game is a Virtual Console release vs. using a 3rd party emulator, which the DSi has to). If you want a system that does everything, I recommend the New 3DS XL. If you just want the best way to play DS games, then the DSi XL wins.
Man I miss my Mario red DS. I got one from my grandma when I was too young to really realize how to properly take care of stuff, and it no longer works. Definitely something cherished that I unfortunately don’t have anymore. It was unfathomably cool to see that brand new in its box still. You’re the goat scatt
My older cousin had this DSi and I remember being so jealous and wanting a DS of my own. I did finally get my own DSi around my birthday and I loved it to death
I remember when I got my DSi XL for my 8th birthday a few months after its release. I still have it to this day and still it's almost as good as new. That thing is filled with so many memories.
I honestly feel bad for Scott being sold a used DSi labeled as new, since he probably paid way more than he should have if he got one labeled as used. Should probably get a refund, if he can. Also, big rip for the color blindness.
I remember when I was about about 7 or so waiting for this exact DS to come out instead of buying a normal DSi and it gave me some of my greatest childhood memories, I recently went back and found a ton of old pictures I took on it that I didn’t even know existed which gave me so much nostalgia
My Fanily still has one of these things working at home. It’s been thrown and dropped countless times but still chugs on. The charging port sucks and the top screen pixels bleed like crazy but it still works fine.
He should. Imo, He deserves it. But I'll give him credit. Its impressive he has not given in the temptation to open other methods of monetization using patron or selling merch(for himself, not for charity)
This nostalgic console was my favorite system back in my childhood. I used to be proud for owning this exact edition of the console since it was better than any other dsi that my friends or family had lol.
This, this exact same model, DSi XL was nt very first portable console back in 2012. Won it on a video editing contest. I fell in love with portable gaming ever since thanks to it! And mine still works like a charm, as well still complete with the box and everything for the collection!
I feel you. It's so hard to find a second-hand or refurbished one with clean screens. But DSi XLs really don't exist "new" anymore. :( To me it's the best system. Bigger screen! There's also the (N)2/3DS XL with big screens but DS games visually don't look that great resized on those.
I feel like Scott’s stash is perfect way to do certain things that wouldn’t fit in a Scott the woz video and videos on specific things that are too specific to be it’s own video
Ngl as a teenager on the cusp of my first job the first thing I’m saving for is a GBAsp AGS-101 in cobalt blue with minish cap and the Pokémon for that generation that’s my book mark
I recently got a yellow/black Japanese DSI LL and oh man I forgot how lovely these systems were. The big stylus, the large crisp screen, easily the best way to play DS games.
I picked up the retirement home maroon DSi Xl recently from my local computer shop. In box, all the original stuff (accept the big stylus was a 3rd party Pokemon one). In box, less than $100. Made my day.
This is a trip down memory lane. I forgot what year it was but me and my older sister had wanted a DS so bad that when my Mom bought it, we started opening it up before even getting home. Have the same exact color and model (however my stylus was blue) and I happened to use it a lot more than my other consoles. Over the years I gradually started using it less to the point where I don’t even know where I put it. Hopefully I can find it soon!
I got this exact same color and model back in 2010, so you're completely off the mark on that 2012 release. However, I do distinctly remember the XL being heavily marketed to seniors, and launching in "bronze & burgandy" colors with blue coming a bit later. Anyways, sorry about the """green""" stylus. Pretty much everyone (including me) lost their thicc stylus since there was no easy way to store it, and either stuck with the little one or bought a mismatched replacement like that.
15:32-the moment things started collapsing. Saddest moment on the internet. The DSi XL is my favorite handheld, and I woulda have been a combination of devastated and infuriated.
This exact one was my first DS, I bought it back in 2011, even though that's when the 3DS came out I wanted to get this one instead. So many amazing games and memories with this thing. I actually still have it in surprisingly pretty good condition to this day, and hopefully will be able to keep it working for a long long time
I remember getting the red DSi XL with the same 3 games pre-installed. Brain Age was really fun. I wonder how rare they are compared to the original DSi that came with 5 games, Mario Clock, Mario Calculator, WarioWare Snapped, Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again, and Dr. Mario DX.
As someone who recently bought a DSi XL secondhand, I can confirm that it's not rare to get the two Brain Ages and Photo Clock even when it's not new. They were on EVERY DSi XL no matter what (unless you deleted it or something)
This was actually my very first DSi console and I loved it to bits. I made so many memories through pictures, recordings and even Flipnotes. It survived so many falls and drops from my clumsy child self... Unfortunately though, it met its demise after a scuffle I had with my step sibling in which she broke it with a hammer. I am planning on getting another one some day in the future just to relive those days 🥺
Opening glued boxes tip: Get yourself a decent letter opener and then use a hairdryer to warm the glue on the box, use the letter opener to pry the lid gently up and keep the tension on so the glue is under stress. With a little patience you can generally get them open without doing much (if any) damage.
This was my second DS and the one I still use today for DS games. Ofc 9 year old me didn't realize the 3DS was coming out in 3 months from when I got it.
That was my first ever game console I got for my birthday several years ago. I spent so much time on NSMB (mario) Not even on the main game just the mini games alone just made me fall in love
I have the special edition Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary DSi XL and it's one of my most cherished possessions, and I think a good chunk of my love towards it comes from its photo-taking capabilities. Not only have I played so many wonderful games on that thing, but I took so many pictures on it when I was little. So many great games *and* memories are both packed in that thing and all my 3DSes. And by memories I mean both captured with that camera and captured with my mind. I always took It on our yearly family camping trips and played it while we drove around places like Yosemite. Those memories have been burned into my memory forever, one of them being me wearing my earbuds and listening to Ecruteak City's theme play on loop in HGSS while we were driving to some specific location in Yosemite. The combination of all those specific variables resulted in one of many memories that causes such nostalgia nowadays that it makes me yearn for another camping trip. Last time we had one was back in October 2018. God how I wish to relive those memories. Long story short, the DSi XL and 3DS just might be some of my favorite systems to ever come out from Nintendo.
I bought this color variation a couple years ago, but it didn’t have flipnote on it (bought after the shop closed down) so I traded it for a Mario 25th anniversary red DSI that did have it Needless to say I wish I kept the blue one and just softmodded it to get Flipnote :P
Ah this was a pleasure to watch. This was the DS model that I used primarily during my elementary school years. I think it's funny looking back at it as being marketed towards older people, because man, i wanted one of these so badly because all my other friends had DSi's. I was a stupid child, however, because if I had waited only like a month or so, I could have gotten the 3DS instead. Its funny looking back at it, but man I was not happy when I was stuck with a DSi when all my friends had upgraded to the 3DS.

Advice on opening a box like that from a Lego collector: use a knife to carefully shimmy the perimeter open
Yes, this. Like carefully opening an envelope
yeah I do this too. just carefully cut away at the glue from the inside.
I like when Scott just unboxes a really random item, like a Japanese Wii U Mario Maker edition, or like in this case, a midnight blue DSi XL.
It's really nice to hear him be so passionate about such things.
Can't believe Scott is starting his collection for when he's 82... They grow up so fast.
I don’t like how DS lites look anymore. DSi looked the best to me, it’s matte, has 3 colored lights and its so aesthetically pleasing.

I got this exact same color and model back in 2010, so you're completely off the mark on that 2012 release. However, I do distinctly remember the XL being heavily marketed to seniors, and launching in "bronze & burgandy" colors with blue coming a bit later.
Anyways, sorry about the """green""" stylus. Pretty much everyone (including me) lost their thicc stylus since there was no easy way to store it, and either stuck with the little one or bought a mismatched replacement like that.
15:32-the moment things started collapsing. Saddest moment on the internet. The DSi XL is my favorite handheld, and I woulda have been a combination of devastated and infuriated.
I love these videos immensly, thank you a lot for those!
This exact one was my first DS, I bought it back in 2011, even though that's when the 3DS came out I wanted to get this one instead. So many amazing games and memories with this thing. I actually still have it in surprisingly pretty good condition to this day, and hopefully will be able to keep it working for a long long time
I remember getting the red DSi XL with the same 3 games pre-installed. Brain Age was really fun. I wonder how rare they are compared to the original DSi that came with 5 games, Mario Clock, Mario Calculator, WarioWare Snapped, Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again, and Dr. Mario DX.
As someone who recently bought a DSi XL secondhand, I can confirm that it's not rare to get the two Brain Ages and Photo Clock even when it's not new. They were on EVERY DSi XL no matter what (unless you deleted it or something)
That Mario DS lite was my childhood, I remember getting it for christmas one year. Love to see it.
I love how scott can just talk about a blue ds for 16 minutes
This was actually my very first DSi console and I loved it to bits. I made so many memories through pictures, recordings and even Flipnotes. It survived so many falls and drops from my clumsy child self... Unfortunately though, it met its demise after a scuffle I had with my step sibling in which she broke it with a hammer. I am planning on getting another one some day in the future just to relive those days 🥺

Opening glued boxes tip: Get yourself a decent letter opener and then use a hairdryer to warm the glue on the box, use the letter opener to pry the lid gently up and keep the tension on so the glue is under stress. With a little patience you can generally get them open without doing much (if any) damage.

This was my second DS and the one I still use today for DS games. Ofc 9 year old me didn't realize the 3DS was coming out in 3 months from when I got it.
I literally have this EXACT console with the same games installed
2:22 Scott this is my favorite color 🙂
also Scott: makes his entire channel's branding the color blue
I like when scott got the brown stylus out and said "Why is it green"
That was my first ever game console I got for my birthday several years ago.
I spent so much time on NSMB (mario)
Not even on the main game just the mini games alone just made me fall in love
I have the special edition Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary DSi XL and it's one of my most cherished possessions, and I think a good chunk of my love towards it comes from its photo-taking capabilities. Not only have I played so many wonderful games on that thing, but I took so many pictures on it when I was little. So many great games *and* memories are both packed in that thing and all my 3DSes. And by memories I mean both captured with that camera and captured with my mind. I always took It on our yearly family camping trips and played it while we drove around places like Yosemite. Those memories have been burned into my memory forever, one of them being me wearing my earbuds and listening to Ecruteak City's theme play on loop in HGSS while we were driving to some specific location in Yosemite. The combination of all those specific variables resulted in one of many memories that causes such nostalgia nowadays that it makes me yearn for another camping trip. Last time we had one was back in October 2018. God how I wish to relive those memories.
Long story short, the DSi XL and 3DS just might be some of my favorite systems to ever come out from Nintendo.
Yoooo. I had this when I was 7 for Christmas with Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call
His favourite color isn't blue...?
happy to say that I own it
feels good seeing someone talk about them again
I bought this color variation a couple years ago, but it didn’t have flipnote on it (bought after the shop closed down) so I traded it for a Mario 25th anniversary red DSI that did have it
Needless to say I wish I kept the blue one and just softmodded it to get Flipnote :P
Flipnote is very important to be fair
Ah this was a pleasure to watch. This was the DS model that I used primarily during my elementary school years. I think it's funny looking back at it as being marketed towards older people, because man, i wanted one of these so badly because all my other friends had DSi's. I was a stupid child, however, because if I had waited only like a month or so, I could have gotten the 3DS instead. Its funny looking back at it, but man I was not happy when I was stuck with a DSi when all my friends had upgraded to the 3DS.
The word “Midnight” sounds like you’d only be able to buy it at a GameStop near Walmart only at midnight
I got the brown DSi XL at the time. Such a weird colour. But so chique, too. It's like some sort of premium, sophisticated lifestyle accessory.
Damn it Debbie
literally my first ds, this video makes me happy
