Technical Question 3ds game repair

0 Upvotes

Hey Friends, I read a few days ago about how 3ds games need to be "repaired" every once in a while with a program in a modded 3ds. It had me thinking I may need to get a modded one. So.my questions are, what systems can be modded for this repair? Do I need to open my sealed 3ds games to do it? What is the expected price point for a modded system? I have all the Zelda 3ds/2ds. However I do not want to get any of them modded.

Hallo, da ich keine Erfahrung mit eBay habe, wollte ich fragen, ob dieses Angebot legitim ist?

Die Person möchte, dass ich das Geld auf ihr Bankkonto schicke, ohne den Käuferschutz zu nutzen. Ist das üblich? Danke im Voraus

update: Ich habe nun abgelehnt und kaufe den etwas teureren dafür abgesicherten 3Ds! Danke für die schnellen und hilfreichen Antworten! Kuss

Technical Question Can I transfer a New Leaf save from an emulator back to an unmodified 2DS?

0 Upvotes

I really want to play New Leaf right now, but my 2DS has really bad stick drift. It just won't stop moving.

The drift has actually been happening for a few years, but I recently picked up my 2DS again because I've been having a huge Animal Crossing craze for the past few days, and I really wanted to play New Leaf again. I actually had a town on my 2DS when I was younger, but one day I got scammed by someone who promised me bells if I deleted my town, so I deleted it and obviously never got the bells. I lost the town and haven't really played Animal Crossing since because it was honestly too sad. But it's been about a decade now, and I'm really looking forward to New Horizons, so I thought it would be nice to play New Leaf again for a bit for old time's sake.

Unfortunately, the stick drift is making that impossible. I've tried using compressed air to clean it, but it didn't help. I couldn't even get through the Animal Crossing menu because the character/cursor just keeps moving. I also tried playing Nintendogs because that's basically the only other game I have that uses the stick, and it's the same thing. The constant turning and spinning is honestly giving me a headache.

I've already taken the 2DS apart to try to fix it, but at this point I need to replace the joystick. I've ordered a replacement part and I'm waiting for it to arrive, so I can't really use the 2DS properly right now.

Meanwhile, I bought Animal Crossing: New Horizons second hand on Vinted for my Switch, and I'm waiting for it to be delivered this week. But I really want to play New Leaf in the meantime.

I consulted ChatGPT about whether I could play New Leaf on a PC emulator for now and then somehow move the save back to my 2DS once I've repaired it. It told me that there are fan-made tools that can work with New Leaf saves and that emulator saves can potentially be transferred to a real 3DS, but that normally you'd need something like Checkpoint/homebrew on the 2DS.

The problem is that I really don't want to modify my 2DS. New Leaf is legitimately purchased from the eShop on it, and I'd like to keep it completely unmodified.

I know this is probably something I wouldn't know how to figure out myself because I'm not very skilled with technical stuff, but I wanted to ask actual people who know more about this.

Is there any way to take a New Leaf save from an emulator and convert/reformat it into whatever format the stock 2DS expects, without installing CFW or modifying the 2DS?

I'm willing to try something complicated if there's a way to do it. I just don't know enough about how the save files work to know whether this is even technically possible.

Has anyone done something like this, or does anyone know of a tool that could make it possible?

I own the game legitimately, I'm just trying to find a way to play it while my 2DS is being repaired.

Resolved Is home-brew able to change the language of a console or do you need to do a full firmware swap?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I've been thinking about buying a Japanese 3DS (which you can't change the language of). I was always going to home-brew it for themes and whatnot, and I know that it's able to region unlock the console to play foreign games. I wouldn't like to do a firmware swap because from what I've heard its a very long and tedious process that might break the console (it also gets you banned from online services but those don't exist any more so :P). I'm asking mostly because posts about this are generally quite old and mention apps no longer in development (like lunaLocaleSwitcher).

Hi,

Im about to purchase a Nintendo 3DS XL new, and the seller sent me this picture to verify authenticity, but my Ai sense is tingling.

When does the console shows this screen. Isn't it supposed to go to the home screen after turning it on?

The world rally screen is from the marketplace post. Notice the yellow part that is not present on the picture they sent. Also they said the panels are IPS.

Could you verify me?

Thanks a lot.

I opened the 3ds xl for a deep clean, a part of the hinge broke and I think the flat cable is cooked for the digitizer is cooked. I took a day to mount and dismount it, the shell wont even fit in properly. Should I try to fix it or get at least some value for it?

Right bumper area cracked open, someone told me they'd fix it for me, they got started but now they're not around anymore and I have no clue how to finish this on my own (I've looked into it and it seems like a nightmare tbh). All the sites I've seen seem kinda sketchy, there's nothing I can find locally either, is there anywhere people would recommend as reputable? Don't really give a dang about anything but recovering the data because it was my first 3DS and it has *all* my street pass progress and Pokemon Bank info on it.

Request games for someone who doesn't play that many games

Hi there! I've recently gotten my 2ds from under the pile of rubble it was collecting dust in, cleaned it it a bit, modded it and got a shiny new SD card.

I'm not really someone in the habit of playing games (sometimes i'll do a visual novel or a small indie on my PC) and i'm overall more of a book and movie guy, but i'd really love to explore the 3ds/ds catalogue and uhh i guess play some games. Would appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you!

Collection / Show Off 2DS XL Repair and Upgrade

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

Got a faulty turquoise 2DS XL from eBay for cheap (around £70) but the hinge was cracked, the bottom screen was cracked and would no longer turn on, I saw a post saying Nintendo were still taking repairs on the 2DS XL so I emailed them and got a quote on repairs (£115).

After paying they said they would just replace the item but they didn’t have the item in stock and would give me an alternative and now I’ve just upgraded to a new pokeball 2DS XL.

I sent in a loose game cartridge aswell so hopefully we see if they return it with a case as well as a charger but likely it will just be the console in a cardboard box

Important to note, they can also just sent refurbished models rather than new ones, so not sure if i got lucky with a new one

Miscellaneous Sealed Copy of FE Conquest btw

Post image

Sort of decided to unbox my sealed copy of Fire Emblem Conquest just to see if its alive or to refresh the electrons and welp this happened. I'm a little upset since its way out of the return window in Amazon (bought this in 2023) but its fine considering I already own the digital copy of the game. Gonna try and see if the solution to fixing it would work on the weekends.

Edit** And before I forgot to tell. Yes I do boot my 3ds games every six months. Its just that I forgot that I still have unsealed games that I only found out during a house cleaning.

Also will update on the weekends if extraction works. Wish me luck!
