      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!

Sure, I love my switch for modern games, but the compactness of the 3DS, low power consumption (4-12 hour on 1750mah battery) and the ease of use is really hard to beat. I really love this thing!

    • @PixelShade
      @PixelShade 3 роки тому +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.

For some reason, the development of it was abandoned in 2015, which is a pity, because there is no better suited screen to run VitrualBoy games, on any system in existence, than the one on a 3DS - it has the right resolution, does not require glasses and will not strain your eyes as much as the red diode arrays on the VirtualBoy would.

    Truth be told this is why I subscribed. Had a 3DS XL for a few years now. Very nice little system and of course it also occurred to me all these 'extra' things that may be possible. 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. I was fairly sure it wouldn't be that difficult at this point but the way you relate everything is very encouraging and I appreciate you taking the time to do so for us all.

    "Since september, the entire 3DS family has been discontinued" wait what...? This is breaking news to me, are they ditching literally all of their entire gaming lineup for just the switch??

      Yes the DS family has been officially discontinued, the last console being the New 2DS XL, and they are only focussing on Switch now. As far as i know, there's no looking that Nintendo will bring them back.
      Unless Nintendo puts in effort to move the digital DS games to Switch, the only way of playing them is with the actual DS consoles (eShop is still up and running and for some reason even tho the consoles have been discontinued, the digital copies of the games are still ridiculously high priced) or through emulators.
      I only heard the news a few months ago and decided to invest in a second hand New 2DS XL. If you don't own a 3DS yet, i advice looking into buying one soon since it's off the market and people are Nintendo Nostalgic after last year.
      It's a wonderful little console and though the games are incredibly expensive, i'm happy to be able to finally own one. The Switch looks nice and all, but almost everyone agrees the DS family had much more to offer, and had a lot more personality. Quite a shame

      @@coolbeans5911 very grim I say. the DS family has something special unlike the boring tablet slab of the switch. the DS is very unique compared to other consoles or handheld for that matter. there are no emulators on earth that is capable of emulating the gaming experience coming from the DS.. it's sad man. it's a dark age as a Nintendo fans. no more innovation being brought to the table.

      @@miru2583 agreed, the worst part is that apparently Nintendo has announced that the 3DS eShop won't have credit card support anymore by January 2022 (as far as i understand, that means you won't be able to digitally buy any DS family games on your own console)
      This is so frustrating because physical copies are incredibly expensive now and quite hard to come by, and it completely excludes players who recently started their 3DS journey and still want to build their game library (like come on it's SO expensive; i can't afford the most popular games and i was hoping the eShop will still be open for atleast 2years so i could save up for games like Pokemon Sun&Moon, Layton, Mario kart 7, Super Smash etc etc)
      Nintendo is just so stupidly disconnected from their fans, incredibly infuriating

      @@coolbeans5911 yes. data miner found an evidence in firmware 11.15 that they will eshop credit card payment. it's the last firmware update for the 3ds. most seller jacked up their prices after the news and the 3ds became a collectors items. your money won't go to the dev if you buy physical copy now. the only way to avoid being ripped off is by modding it. I wish they brought back the DS family or at least made a true successor to it. feels sad af
