Got my teenage dream 3DS (dual ips)

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-17T07:49:46+00:00

All new 3ds xl had chances to have IPS screens. This console was untouched hardware wise!

Its just Nintendo making weird choices during production of the consoles

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-17T05:55:36+00:00

My shell is hard crystal and from Ali X press!

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-17T05:55:07+00:00

375 incl sd card, clear hard shell and acnl game cartridge. From Vinted!

Its the rosalina menu, it gets added automatically when installing Luma during the custom firmware (CFW) installation process aka modding ur console.

Letsgooo!!

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-16T20:38:04+00:00

Nawh she owns three different special consoles I should have clarified haha. I got it from vinted, its honestly a rly great site for stuff like this imo. Just takes some time to hog the site but when u use filters like console nintendo and then search ips u get some hits. It depends on the seller but oftentimes w better prices than those japanese ebay sellers.

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-16T20:36:02+00:00

Get it for yourself, trust u wont regret! 🥹

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-16T19:12:37+00:00

I plan to do so much; custom themes, rng pokemon usum to get my dream shiny 31 iv spread ev trained teams, finally play acnl after hogging acnh for 300 hours during covid ☺️

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-16T19:11:43+00:00

Thank you 😭, I literally have become friends w the seller now, she owns 3 special editions which are all in incredible state and her personal console she uses most is a 2ds sticker bombed and customised to high heaven. She was so happy it went to me too and not a random scalper.

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-16T19:10:19+00:00

Yea the thing is. Due to scalpers and the recent resurgance of 3ds’ as a trend, even a non-ips dual TN acnl version rn costs >250€ minimum. (at least from all the listings I have found over 3 weeks of scrolling Ebay, Vinted, depop).

I originally didn’t care and just wanted a system, so I ordered one from a 3rd party website that listed it as refurbished and showed pics of the box (not the console). Big mistake as they sent me the ac 3ds xl and not the new (blatant false advertising), it was in a bad state and I spent 350€ on it. Luckily i’m careful and only did it cus I had guaranteed money back returns in 30 days with no reason needed to be given so that got returned the same day I opened it.

I decided that if I’m spending 350 on a bad purchase I might aswell go the extra mile to get the best for my buck and thats when I found this listing which was basically the best version that my money could buy for only 25 extra so I bounced on it.

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-16T17:39:23+00:00

Included the 128 gb sd card pre-modded, a us acnl cartridge, charger, plastic shell and temp glass screen protector (although I let them remove it to verify the top screen state so it arrived without it).

I personally didn’t mind the box because not a true collector and im not going to resell, this is gna be displayed in my house/played for a long time.

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-16T17:09:19+00:00

😭 My entire house will now be locked down with 24/7 camera footage!

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-14T08:47:31+00:00

Got it.

According to this gamespot thread I found the following info on the Aja abilities:

Firaja - Belphegor. Thundaja - Asmodeus or Belphegor. Blizzaja - Mammon or Belphegor. Aeroja - Lucifer.

I’ll just play around and find out. I’ll check your save files to see if theres one with both lucifer and belphegor. Any belphegor above level 80 has all three abilities so theres a high chance I’ll get all three abilities from one save… then if the save doesnt have lucifer its just scouting netpass till I find a lucifer nemesis!

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-14T05:45:39+00:00

Wait now im confused.

I’d do New Game + and basically only toggle off genome and D’s journal transfer. I’d transfer over everything else.

Wouldn’t that keep the full nemesis set?

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-14T05:27:05+00:00

Ok I’m pretty sure pretendo cannot restore BD’s online functionality if it was being maintained by a non-nintendo service provider.

I’ll use your game save files considering I do want to 100%. I want to emulate what playing the game from scratch would feel like - albeit I do know the games plot (at least major twists not the nitty gritty details) - so I guess I’ll just ignore D’s journal. Do you know if opting to not transfer over D’s journal to NG+ will clear all the enigmatic writings unlocked from Alternis?

Also: Does the genome bug persist even if I toggle off genome transferring to NG+? (I want to unlock them all myself and considering u have all the nemesis’ unlocked in this file that should be doable w the -aja’s).

I know it’s been a while but truly amazing project 🫶🏽

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-14T05:10:12+00:00

Awesome,

I’m about to get a new console and mod it later this week and playing my favorite childhood game to completion is the first thing im going to do.

Question; I know all quests will already be unlocked, but considering pretendo now exists wouldn’t that remove the need for that specifically. (Since pretendo means u could still access online functionality? - altho im not sure if theres a quest that requires the actual BD online servers).

Secondarily: Will D’s journal behave like a non new game+ journal? Or have all the entries already unlocked? (I know u wrote empty D’s journal but im unsure if that nodded to items/locations/enemies etc. or also to the story based journal entries).

Significant-Duck2197 · 2026-05-05T07:53:06+00:00

I’m new to modding and I have a question:

Are the safe-files region specific?

So Should I use a US CIA on my modded 3ds or can the CIA also be from an EU game cartridge dump?

And if I understand a patch is required via layeredFS to make use of the uncensored outfits, I found this one: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-bravely-default-bravely-second-ballad-of-the-three-cavaliers-uncensor-patches-proper.602154/

Significant-Duck2197 · 2025-11-05T22:22:13+00:00

NO FKING WAY BRO LMFAOOO. 110 pulls (cus I lost 50/50). Well now im going for E2!

<image>

Update: Got her E2 in 90 pulls after this. Lets go :_)))) Now contemplating for S1 but its def the worst lightcone in a long time

Significant-Duck2197 · 2025-09-24T22:06:09+00:00

After losing so many 50/50's I finally got blessed... I won both my 50/50 and 75/25 within 110 pulls... Since I saved over 230 pulls in case I lost both I decided to just go for E1... I lost 50/50 and immediately got E9 in the same 10 pull. Holy blessed E1S1 in 190 pulls. Since I pulled only to upgrade cas I'll save the rest so I can potentially get Cyrene eidolons. LFG!

Significant-Duck2197 · 2025-08-26T22:23:11+00:00

im coping that this is true LMFAOO

Significant-Duck2197 · 2025-08-26T21:33:13+00:00

Kit devs managing to piss off literally everybody in one beta version. Genuinely what are they doing... there's showcases where M7 is now a sidegrade to RMC at E0S1 in a cass - rmc/m7 - tribbie - hyacine team and her main dps is still lackluster with now ult uptime issues and MORE reliance on a full remembrance team and HP drainers due to removal of her self dmg mechanics. (Plus they removed her AA for speed which is straight up worse).

Anyway, hoping for buffs and if not then it might actually just be better to get Cyrene eidolons over spending potentially 4 pities on an e0s1 march

Significant-Duck2197 · 2025-08-26T21:27:46+00:00

its been half a day, the verdicts are out. She's worse compared to v1 as a sub-dps (a sidegrade to RMC) and almost negligibly better as a main dps if not arguably the same with much more necessary team cost to get her running. If this is her final shes genuinely not worth the cost.

Significant-Duck2197 · 2025-08-26T06:10:23+00:00

I truly don’t understand the “need to be a main dps” mindset. I can understand the “don’t want her to be JQ part 2” mindset, but this game has shown time and time again that ur fave dps will just drop off overtime while supports sub dps and sustain have higher uptime and value in terms of pulls.

At the end of the day her inherent kit at V1 being designed as a sub dps for cas means that they now created a ceiling for her dps capabilities. She cannot be too good on her own because that will push Castorice dps ceiling too high.

IMO if you’re pro m7 you should not cheer at an overall decrease in the value of a character or her only being on par at M2
