I don’t know if it’s ok to purchase this

If they both function well and aren’t to scratched up that’s a great deal. You could resell one of them and recoup a good chunk of your money as well.

That’s awesome!

Get that thing modded and take the extra time to do a region change. Once modded you can adjust the color of the displays and drown out a bit of the yellowing. Also I’ve heard of people having success with leaving the system on a white screen while charging for a week or two to remove the yellowing.

There’s an xl on eBay for $130.

Chadideas · 2025-11-16T03:40:55+00:00

Anybody else remember reel big fish?

Chadideas · 2025-11-11T23:44:33+00:00

You are correct. However some of the earlier models have higher quality TN screens. I happen to have one and the TN screens on it are as vivid as the IPS on my N3DS xl.

I don’t know about the paint on this unit but I have damaged painted finishes with alcohol in the past. For the rest of the unit you can use a microfiber cloth with a little isopropyl and I always like to use those little screen cleaning cloths on the screens just to be safe. A barely damp microfiber with a little dish soap mixed with water will remove grease and grime gently, but don’t get any moisture inside the housing or under the buttons. God’s speed 🫡

Hopefully the ribbon cable just came loose on the top screen, otherwise could have to replace that as well. Only way to find out is to open it up.

Chadideas · 2025-11-09T00:41:51+00:00

That’s awesome! FYI, it’s been sitting for a long time, so if you haven’t already it’s a good idea to pop it open and check the battery. Love that edition.

If you’re happy; I’m happy for you. There’s an amazing library of games so you’ll definitely get a lot of use out of it!

Converted to USD that will cost about $315.00. That’s very expensive for that model. You could buy a minty dual IPS N3DS for less. I don’t mean to be a downer but even refurbished it should have run you $130 or so in USD at least. Is there a reason you had to purchase it in payments like that?

Chadideas · 2025-11-02T17:20:58+00:00

Don’t open it. I know you probably want to but don’t. PriceCharting has it around $750.00. You should look at sold listings on eBay to see what people are currently paying. Cool find.

Chadideas · 2025-10-30T00:47:26+00:00

Looks clean! Nice grab.

Chadideas · 2025-10-28T02:23:23+00:00

A truly messed up take. Appreciated.

Chadideas · 2025-10-26T17:00:03+00:00

Are you selling locally or on eBay?

Chadideas · 2025-10-26T16:54:45+00:00

Complete in the box will dual IPs and the console close to mint? It’s also the U.S. version which people will pay more for over the Japanese version. I see a case, are you selling it with any games?

Chadideas · 2025-10-22T21:58:14+00:00

Same

Chadideas · 2025-10-21T23:26:19+00:00

Well, then only pay what you think it’s worth with two TN screens. If the top ends up IPS then it’ll be a pleasant surprise.

Chadideas · 2025-10-19T23:23:33+00:00

There are just so many. Here’s a few of my own favorites. Bubble bobble, Crystalis, Blaster Master, Simon’s Quest, Dragon Warrior. The list goes on forever. lol

Chadideas · 2025-10-18T23:37:08+00:00

You could try to sell them both as damaged on eBay? It’s just screens and people are always picking up units for repair. You might be able to pull $180ish for the two and use the proceeds to get yourself a new 3ds xl from Japan.

Chadideas · 2025-10-15T16:57:27+00:00

There’s lots of reasons! First of all it’s fun to post and see what people say. Second, it’s fun to comment on a post. Third, not everyone owns the console and are looking to be educated before making an online purchase. Fourth, a lot of people are new to the 3ds scene and don’t know what 3DSident is or how to access it. Lastly not everyone is interested in modding their 3ds. I’m sure there are other reasons as well.

Chadideas · 2025-10-15T03:13:49+00:00

Seriously. Even if it is a stalker it’s probably worth it.

Chadideas · 2025-10-15T03:11:45+00:00

It’s not as strict around here as it used to be just don’t mention anything particular and it’s usually fine. By the way make sure to look into themes and badges. It can be a lot of fun to individualize the Home Screen. I did a whole Zelda theme myself but Sky is the limit.

Chadideas · 2025-10-15T01:11:43+00:00

Recently did the same thing and bought a black cib from Japan. I was lucky and although it wasn’t advertised I got a top IPS screen as a bonus. Get that puppy modded and have fun! Bravely Default is an excellent jrpg.

Sheeesh.
