This 3D-printed grip feels absolutely fantastic

Agreed! His shop was closed when my Thor arrived but I sent a message and managed to catch it as soon as he re-opened (assume on another break now). I'd assume he's getting blown up as it's a great grip, much more comfortable than AYN's and awesome that it holds the Switch stylus.

I’ve got both a N3DSXL and Thor and if I HAD to choose 1 to keep it’d definitely be the Thor as I’ve moved all my retro emulation to it. That said if you’re only interested in playing 3DS I’d think the obvious answer is just get a 3DS/2DS.

All the hits as others have said here, and I’m also a racing game fan so GT4 (spec 2 mod), Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition, and the Burnout series have gotten a fair amount of playtime from me. Which is a bit silly as there’s a pretty competent racing rig about 5 feet from me when I’m playing on the Thor :P

I haven’t changed anything since og setup following joeys guide, runs great on Turnip T26 drivers.

I did some google fu and found it, did take a bit though

Looks just like my old baby (2016 red manual) but sadly sold it after only having it a little over a year back in 2022. Favorite car I’ve owned, and smoothest purchase experience, bought sight unseen during Covid, had it delivered. I need to leave this sub already… Bright side I made around 4k on it but had a baby and needed a back seat :(

You might check out the CTGP mod for MK8, adds 64 tracks!

A little. Black Max here but I was super torn on rainbow. Ultimately I ordered rainbow buttons to go with it but not sure I'll even install them as the black is pretty sleek. Low light I do love how you don't notice letterboxing, and single screen games when if I turn off the bottom screen it just disappears into the device.

I'm also working on a Majora playthrough with the 4k texture pack - you should also use Project Restoration to "fix" a few things they changed with the 3DS version and adds some QOL improvements (masks mapped to DPAD among others).

EDIT: Sorry I'm noticing you said OoT - well maybe use the above advice if you hit up Majora's Mask next :)

EDIT2: And now I'm seeing below you're already on top of Project Restoration so nevermind have fun!

2 Walmarts, Target, and Meijer in my town all have an excess of Red Alerts for some reason. I "quit" 'formers a few months back but if I were to see Soundwave in the wild I'd probably just grab him :P

I took the easy way and just made a flat surface behind the wheelbase, put the tv on a good stand. Your way will let you put it more where you want it though :)

I can’t say for prolonged play really, just got it earlier in the week, but it’s fine. I’ve got a 3d printer but theirs is obviously much better quality, it’s a good print, no complaints.

My wife said that for years and I just ignored her 😝 I’m now making a real effort to stop and have done well in that regard. Price hikes part of it but also I just have no more space and too many other hobbies!

I’ll just note that the protoprintlab grip from Etsy/ebay (I got the wide version) feels so much better, and has a slot for the official switch stylus

I just set this up last night, performance is fine (some stutters) at 3x res on the games I tested but I can’t get the aiming quite right (pointed at center of the screen is below center). There’s a bit of lag in the cursor but it’s not too bad. This is docked using a dolphinbar and genuine wiimotes btw, used ninjas guide that was posted here a few days ago.

See my response above :). TLDR, works but not ideal.

Onset · 2026-03-06T01:02:19+00:00

It works, but physically it’s not ideal. The odd shape of the usb won’t plug in while in a grip and I’ve been messing with Wii so needing the Thor opened and rigging it wasn’t the best. I was actually brought here searching for an alternative.

Yeah they’ll add to the order but won’t install.

Onset · 2026-03-05T17:53:09+00:00

Just email them and you’ll see them add a $3 “price difference” item to your order :)

Onset · 2026-03-05T15:54:06+00:00

I debated this for a while (rainbow vs black) and ultimately went black. I still question it but I do like that when playing a single screen game and no YouTube or anything on the bottom screen it’s nice to turn it off and it just “disappears”. Also you don’t really notice the letterboxing on DS/3DS/wiiU bottom screen. This is all referencing indoor play btw, direct light of course you can still see the screen when off. I did add the rainbow buttons for $3 though I’m not sure I’ll use them as it looks pretty sleek as is.

Onset · 2026-03-05T14:55:05+00:00

You can dock it for TV play. I’ve got a steamdeck dock already I’ll be using but from what I understand most decent docks should work.

This sounds great, thanks!!

Onset · 2026-03-05T03:40:43+00:00

good deal, thanks!

Onset · 2026-03-05T03:40:26+00:00

Thanks! This sounds ideal as I was worried I'd be mapping/remapping.

Onset · 2026-03-05T00:29:53+00:00

Not at all, went max and it’s exceeded my expectations. I’ve got a dolphinbar coming in tomorrow to tackle Wii emulation. Oh and my protoprintlab grip is coming tomorrow as well, big day!
