"It's also in really bad shape because of the machine that it was made to serve."
me too, man. me too.
I feel your pain..
Felt
Pain.
Life…

Everytime you get a new DS its rarer and rarer, first its the dev unit and now the factory version. 😮
Whats next? Miyamotos personal DS system?
Did you mean The DSi?
I have a Factory DSi, such a cool and unique system. Mine came with a blank cartridge meant for a ribbon-cable connection, not sure what mine was used for though.
The software was probably stored in the machine itself, then, and that would've had some code to make the console bypass the DSi Menu on startup and launch directly into the software used to run the machine.
@@kbhasithe software is not on the machine but rather a nintendo ds cartridge connected to the machines motherboard
Man, it's so cool to see all these handhelds that are part of history. Thanks for making videos on them and for collecting handhelds that I can never buy for myself. Lol
My DS is stolen from my friend's older sister. She still doesnt know. I paid 35 bucks for it.
I once modified a TV to be in a "kiosk mode" (turns on immediately when plugged in). I did it by shorting the power button. I use it with my Raspberry Pi.
Ah I remember putting a CRT TV into Kiosk mode once. I did it through the service menu though. Similarly to you I could only turn it on or off if I plugged it in or unplugged it. the Remote control stopped working which means I couldn't get BACK into service mode to deactivate kiosk mode. If I remember correctly it also wouldn't let me adjust the volume any more either.
I ended up having to throw it away because between that and that there was a color problem that couldn't be corrected so using it was impractical and an eyesore to look at when gaming.
Ended up replacing it with a smaller CRT with horrific overscan that cannot be corrected.
@@rashira9610 Oh god I have a 30' GE was about to ask about doing this... I'd rather not after reading this lol.
For future reference, any tv new enough should have a secret menu. You might need a $15 factory remote from eBay/Amazon/etc for some tvs, but you might be able to enable a real kiosk mode, including turning on automatically. Just don’t mess with anything without looking up a secret menu guide, some settings might make it so you don’t have a usable image anymore, (can’t see the secret menu) and would need either a jtag cable or a tv repair tech to fix. But kiosk settings are safe, just don’t lose the password lol.
@@goosebyte "Any TV new enough" This one was a 720p Sanyo TV from the beginning of flatscreen TVs.
@@melsbacksfriend might be new enough, google is the only way. Got the model number? Sometimes following general guides for brands will get you there. I've had it work on TV's as old as 2006, though I'm sure there were older TV's with secret menus too, probably some crts even.
Did you know in the UK, there are 5 DSi only games. They are a white game cartridge, and only work on this system.
Yeah and there's only 3 of those in North America
Any idea what the games were?
Eliot already knows that as he reviewed face training for the DSI
@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 I wasn’t talking to Elliot.
@@dogg-paws Google it
I love how informational your videos are and how your able to diagnosis and repair or improve faulty gaming devices!
Great video. I’d love to be able to see the story of this particular DSi and learn where it’s been, and how it ended up with you. Glad it did end up here. Thanks for the always entertaining (and insightful) content!
Nintendo laywer in disguise
Every single video of yours is a gem. Thank you for your effort, Elliot.
I like the remaining hexagonal nut damage as a distinguishing detail of its original use.
your channel is the only reason I felt confident enough to restore my first Gameboy 😊
I would love to see more refurb vids on DS/3DS consoles but I understand why you haven't made that many refurb vids on them because of how much of a pain they can be to fix
I have missed videos like this, good video, interesting piece of odd history. loved it!
Maybe there was a normally closed 'reset' button on the kiosk that disconnect the power when pressed. Would work well
Top 10 people who are on Nintendo's kill list
you clearly joking rn, but maybe haven't heard of Nintendo ninjas
Grade A aesthetic's throughout the video awesome job adding longer scenes of you doing the repairs it's awesome 😎
4:55 I won't be surprised if someone lost their DS and it was never claimed from a lost and found office, or someone had a loose game card and included it.
14:08 I believe that, like with the DS Download Station and the Nintendo Zone distribution device, a game card would be inserted that would have special code added to make the console bypass DSi Menu and launch directly into the software used to run the machine.
14:41 What I mentioned is likely why
There was a cartridge connected to teh factory unit, i think it didn’t automatically go into the dsi menu as mine has photos of factory workers
@@lasscat1
If it had the photos, then the software likely didn't bypass the menu. My guess is that it only happened on some machines or someone figured out how to remove the game card that would probably have been locked in.
@@kbhasi Maybe that makes sense, I think you're right it bypasse dthe menu
It’s great to see you still using the power bank thing
what a neat find glad you could make it live again with donor parts
Great video as always! Really like your new tattoo 😊👍🏻
Hey thanks for making this video I wasn’t having a good day and this video makes my day slightly better
Love my 3ds memories. I'll miss the good days.
Can I recommend the "superglue + rolling paper" method of layering on new material on the inside of devices to improve structural integrity.
It is without a doubt superior to "just putting in some glue".
In a pinch, baking powder and superglue can be used to build up additional support. Sprinkle in sparingly, add tiny drop of superglue, let dry, repeat until built like a tank.
"It is a part of it's history" Is a great phrase I will take with me when discovering used items in an hobby/usage.
TWL Menu is probably the developer main menu (TWL is the codename for the DSi)
I love these videos! ✌
WOOO!!! New retro future video!!!
I have a factory unit as well but mine was used for gyro stuff it seems.
Impressive how nintendo is using their own consoles for factory and testing stuff.
Shouldve kept all the broken housing for that better look
When talking about Secure anything, even just Secure Disposal China is not the first location that comes to mind.
I will be surprised if you can find a copy of this. But roller skating competitions used to be judged with an app that ran on the Nintendo DS which let them submit their scores.
Poor Handheld.. was treated very harsh..
Awesome loved the video
this is so cool!! Thx for bringing this to the world of mere mortals
I think i would have personally kept the topmost lid with it, so that you retain the yellowing, showing its original use....
That reminds me I should try and repair my DS I XL I have the limited edition Mario 25th anniversery
Elliot! What's up? Thanks for the upload.
holy crap thats awesome!
You completed the ds collection and even more
I have done that to iPhones - like an iPhone 4, 4S, and iPod touch 2nd gen - for testing the Game Center achievements and points. It may look identical to the DSi Factory.
Nintendo DS content? Now you got me invested
"One day i hope to clone this person" -died laughing
You should make the Nintendo TS (Tri Screen)
Cool find, too bad the software wasn’t still on there though
10:07 I despise these connectors, they break so easily. Recently did a phone repair, and basically the vibration motor doesn't connect anymore, just flops around (the connector that is).
Elliot, you forgot to use rice when gluing that post back in. 😄
awesome video
12:52 Ahh! Editing magic, you are wearing different clothes lol.
Interesting video, learn something new every day.
Left the video at “yanking this off” 😂
I have a mod idea that I'd like to see. I was playing Street fighter alpha 3 on my GBA when I realized it would be easier if the r and l buttons were x and y instead. Could the l and r buttons be "moved" to x and y position
GBM (Game Boy Macro)
Smooth the mark by using plaster cast or a 3D pen with white filament
Hey would you be willing to dump the nand and put it somewhere safe like say google drive with a link? I'd really like to check something 😅
Well, if he wanted to repair/hide that damaged nut placement, people from Try’s and Hard Off used to just use baking soda on superglue and a spot of really fine sanding whenever they thought they needed to do some cosmetic repair to something. Or at least they used to some years ago.
Best music eva
My dsi l&r buttons are broken how can i fix it😭 its my first baby
I thought for sure he was going to fix the damage with ramen noodles.
6:15 waooo
If we can get a video about the DNA pile that'd be great, thx.
Just wait until Nintendo comes out with the Home Clone Console, so you can make clones at home. Then there will be Home Clone Console clones, for cloners on a budget.
Man, should have packed the voids around the hexagonal hole with baking soda and then added super glue, essential making a white plastic filler that's really strong! Give it a shot some time. Nice video btw
get my man a jackery
Just need a couple kiosk's 😇
I need a 2011 3ds shell for a console I am fixing, does anybody know a good place to get them?
Make a video on all Gameboy clones that can read games
Can someone tell me the link or video title about that 3:45 battery
I feel like the other piece with the descolored part from being in the machine tells such a big part of the story too :/ now its just a generic DSI with the back from the actual interesting one... kinda nhe but cool video still
Nice!
God, made a right mess of that screw whole 🤣
Seomone help me, my white japanese dsi wont turn off, hes work like this variation of the video (The button only work to reset and turn off when its on charger and resets and turn on when i put on the charger, and turn off when take off the charger) but He dont have the diferent inscripcion on the back and dont have special apps like this, i want a fully funcional dsi, and i dont know how to fix this.
Twilight menu let’s your run a variety of open source applications! (McDonalds Game) 👀
Could you fix my nintendo switch joycon the r button does not work sadly
Should be pretty easy to load homebrew software on.
5:29 mom, your dog's broken.
Personally I would have just replaced the screens. The mangled shell is part of the story of that development/testing DSi and replacing it with something else makes it lose its charm.
I came here to say that. Really bothered about the old shell
replacing the screen would have been harder so that might have been a reason too
I hear you can fix that shell damage with some rice and super glue 😂
I am bidding on a gameboy color and its about to end and someone keeps on adding more so its a battle to who will pay the higest i will update if i win
Thought I’d skipped the intro only find it’s 4 minutes in 😂
If they wanted to dispose of these in an unrecoverable form they really should've just drilled a hole through the center of it through the screens and the motherboard. :X We're fortunate!
"one day I hope to claim this person"....😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣
In before nintendo hires lawyer assassins to to eliminate this man’s existence
Nintendo doesn’t gaf
Disappointed to see no rice, flour, cereal or any other food products were used during the repair process 😂
This is so cool
I assume it can't be turned off so that it can constantly be on display in the shops (without kids turning off all the displays). Pretty cool!
My ndsi flashing only bottom screen it's can't turn on
After you clone that person whose DNA you have, you should send them back to themselves in the mail
Can you imagine the look on their faces?
Intriguing
Please tell me that you uploaded it to the internet archive
Bro can you try the sup 400 in 1 its the knock off version of the game boy so can you try and mod it pls thank you
Just came here for the sexy music and fully bared ports.
it was good knowing you, when Nintento sees this we gonna send you packages to prison.
"One day i hope to clone this person" -died laughing- greetings from Germany 😂🙋
i wonder if you can put custom firmware on a kiosk mode DSI or 3DS, just to be extra mean to Nintendo by not using it in Kiosk mode
Just fill it in with some rice and glue then sand it down lol
This is a re-called Nintendo Dsi lol
Well i wish you tried to repair the motherboard of the old one rather then replacing it,unless it was rusty and cooreded inside.
Interesting video
Interesting!
Glad im one of the early birds here too :) and finally a new video
