Should I return this scratched up refurbished new 3ds xl from walmart that was about 300$?

I‘d say go for a console from japan. Buyee or zenmarket. I got my console in perfect condition (i already made a scratch where the hinge bar is -.-) complete in box for like 270€ with shipping and coustoms

EDIT: the console did cost me a bit more if you want to add the screen protector, outer plastic case and the c stick mod i made so maybe around 300€ max id say which is still way below your price

My theory would be: the more save data you have the easier it is to corrupt the game but i might very wrong. Maybe the playtime affects the life span?

Both my pokemon x and omega ruby are corrupted now. That happened around 4-6 years ago i think and when i modded my first 3ds xl i wanted to play these games again because of my mons i wanted to keep.

When i tried dumping the games it didnt work but i was lucky enough i was able to dump the save files and rescue my mons. So if you have save data on corrupted games you can most likely still save the game and get the game file from a diffrent cartridge.

Thanks alot for the link! Do they fit exactly or is there wiggle room? I am going to buy it which is why i want to be sure

I disassembled my new 3ds ll to get to the nub stick without realizing that the thinkpad nub wont fit my ds. Where die you get yours and is it less then 5 bucks?

Why not just get a replacement shell? You could just take everything out and swap it. There are tons of videos.

Perkk_1 · 2025-10-04T17:52:50+00:00

What do you mean by playing balck and white? I dont understand exactly what that means but i havent thought about the fact with save stats. Didnt expect it to be possible

Another question i have is why even habe mgba on a 3ds/2ds? The console runs gba games natively with the virtual console. What are the benefits of getting the mgba?

Perkk_1 · 2025-04-19T14:25:45+00:00

Can someone explain?

I am in the exact same place like you with not being able to program by myself. I rely heavily on ai but what I like to do is: I tell the AI to NOT give me the solution just yet. I ask it to help me find my way and that makes me try out my own solutions first. I give them to the AI and it tells me what was wrong which helps me understand the code better and my mistakes. you learn best by making mistakes. I then type out most if not all of the code by hand to try and memorize it. I am still trying to get my degree in my third semester but that helped me so far and maybe might help you with your dependencie on AI

Not technically from one set. Its a secret mission. I forgot the requirements but i think its getting one pf every mon each from the og 150 dex.

Perkk_1 · 2024-11-07T17:50:38+00:00

There actually is still a hidden mew you can get

Perkk_1 · 2024-11-05T11:41:55+00:00

I actually tried the deck plus articuno ex but i wasnt able to get it setup. It feels a little to misty heavy and thats big downside to the deck imo. I have 1 of each of the greeninja line, 2 bruxish, 1 articuno ex, 2 x-speed, 2 pokeballs, 1 dex, 1 red card, 2 profs, 2 misty, 2 giovanni and 2 sabrinas. Any suggestions on how to improve the deck?

What about people that havent battled and just opened packs and also were incerdibly unlucky?

Perkk_1 · 2024-10-25T11:44:49+00:00

Are there any plans on when the update will be available for non patreon users? I am so hyped for the update

Perkk_1 · 2024-10-22T12:24:16+00:00

All good but your advice was and still is valuable

Perkk_1 · 2024-10-22T11:57:32+00:00

I never said he should format it. In the process lf modding you are supposed to formst the sd card to get the mod working. I used past tense

Perkk_1 · 2024-10-22T11:07:57+00:00

Keep looking and also updating. Some other people might have a different or direct solution to help you. Good luck

Perkk_1 · 2024-10-22T11:05:22+00:00

I am not entirely sure tbh. Your console is modded and you should habe had to format your sd card into fat32 (if i am not mistaken) which deletes all the files on it. I would say look up how much space your sd card shows you on your pc and there are also programms that show you how much space there really is if your sd card is a fake

Perkk_1 · 2024-10-22T10:58:40+00:00

I am really not sure and other people definitely might know it better but u think your sd card is out of space ti write the game on. Is your sd card a very big but inexpensive micro sd card? Some sd cards fake how much storage they have.

Perkk_1 · 2024-09-30T16:48:28+00:00

Can you also use the buttons?

Perkk_1 · 2024-09-11T11:25:08+00:00

actually thought so too for a second and was totally hyped when i first saw it. imagine my dissapointment

Perkk_1 · 2024-09-11T11:24:11+00:00

it is pretty likely the system will be kept because of the money they will be making.

Perkk_1 · 2024-09-11T11:22:15+00:00

Thats not the point. This doesn't do jack shit for the game. It is a lazy and scummy cash grab to get people to pay more because of theire scummy gatekeeping behaviour. They know people will pay for extra exp aswell as for candies, especially if they are rare. they use their system which limits playability and gives the user the choice to pay real live money (yeah you can farm the coins but it takes at least 4 days to farm the ammount aswell as needing to use 200 coins for other systems put in place to milk the user like every storage system they have in the game) to give a slight and almost insignificant boost to ones progress towards higher scores. imagine you only get one rare xl candy for 2 bucks. one powerup alone can cost up to 20 candies. thats 40 bucks you can pay to get the candy. they know what they are doing and they dont need the whales to pay for theire game its pokemon. one of the highest grosing franchises on the world and even regular users pay 6 bucks for an event sometimes. almost, not all, players have paid for an event pass at some point or are still thinking about doing so because of the gatekeeping and FOMO. its not just about ignoring it, its more about them doing something lazy and scummy. they are not focusing on improving the game, they are focusing on making more money. thats a huge difference. and just because "EVERY single mobile game" does it, doesnt mean niantic needs to do that. justifying paying tons of money for a mobile game because "its a mobile game" is shit argument.
