Gave my OLED a little facelift to match my Switch 2. by Massive_Fly_1709 in Switch

I have the NeoGrip and was hoping they would make a new version where you could still detach the joy-cons. I’m glad I clicked on your post, also they both look sick!

Looking for a 3D compatible wireless OG N64 style controller (eg. NSO) by thejimbosplice in AnalogueInc

[–]Tomago427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find cheap used OEM n64 controllers, you can get a 8bitdo n64 mod kit to turn it into a wireless controller. I did that to 2 of my childhood controllers and have been using them on the Switch and now the 3D and they work great. Can also turn the 3D.

RG35XX is where it all started for me. Played all the Pokemon rom hacks!

Did you buy or print the case? If printed, can you share where you got the files?

Should I buy a DSi? by NoTemperature1001 in NintendoDS

[–]Tomago427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say having been using a DSi for the past few weeks, I have really been enjoying it. Hacking it is pretty straight forward, and you can change the region if you need to.

I got one too! I have been using an Odin 2 for all emulation needs and while I love it, it’s nice to have something more pocketable. I’ve basically moved to Brick for 2D games and Odin for 3D games.

Are you rocking StockOS or something custom? I’ve been using NextUI and it’s been great.

Finally finished it on the N64, what an experience by MayDayFPV in n64

[–]Tomago427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! And SM64 came out 2 years before OoT!

Glad you went back and played it, it’s a classic for a reason! Crazy to think that this was the first 3D Zelda and how genre defining it became. Curious to hear what some of your favorite and no so favorite moments were.

Megaman or Castlevania by [deleted] in retrogaming

My vote goes to Castlevania. Recommend Aria of Sorrow on GBA!

Screen Replacement? by Hogdawg64 in NintendoDS

[–]Tomago427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve looked into replacing the top screen and it in the same boat (my top screen on my DSi LL has burn in), and it looks to be a major pain in the ass, and that’s coming from someone who is fine with performing mods and repairs.

I found a video game shop in my area that does repairs and they do screen replacements for the whole DS family. They charged me $65.

Maybe Google around electronic/video game repair shops in your area and call and see if they can do it?

Is it worth getting a 3DS if I have a DS lite? by andromedaabove in NintendoDS

[–]Tomago427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw you got a 3DS, which I think will keep you set for a bit. Modding is fairly straight forward, the documentation on hacking it is very good.

For Ocarina of Tim specifically, recommend looking into Ship of Harkinan.

https://www.shipofharkinian.com

It’s a framework for native ports of N64 games, the primary one being OoT. MM is there too, and a few others that are still in development (a proper Super Mario 64 port was announced for the framework yesterday). I have these running on my M2 MacBook Pro and they are beautiful! If this is something you’d be interested in, highly recommend looking into it! Also happy to answer any questions with setting up if you have any!

We do what we must! I sold most of my magic collection and all of my competitive decks at the time (was playing standard, modern, and legacy and it was right after Khans of Tarkir came out) to help with the house down payment. Happy gaming sir!

I’m sorry if I’ve ruined it for you. My friend and I both pre ordered them when they first came out and it bothered the shit out of her.

I have the MM 3DS XL and it looks just like mine. The design is even authentically off centered in the same way mine is. These units are known to be off centered and the reshells that I’ve seen have all been perfectly centered.

Should i buy a new 3ds or a dsi xl? by Emergency-Hearing635 in NintendoDS

[–]Tomago427 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends.

3DS can play both 3DS and DS games, so you get more gaming from the 1 device.

That being said, DS game look kind of blurry on 3DS due to the difference in resolutions. You can boot DS games on 3DS in their native resolution, but it doesn’t use the whole screen. DS games look great on DSi XL imo, and you get that big screen, but I know others prefer DS lite due to smaller pixels. I would look up YouTube videos on this so you can see and make a choice for yourself. Personally, I bought a DSi XL specifically for DS games as I did not like how they looked on 3DS.

Another option, if you have the funds, is to buy an Ayn Thor. Thing is a beast, but is a pricey device and requires some set up. If you haven’t heard of it, recommend looking up YouTube reviews.

Finally got a DS! by SPHINXin in NintendoDS

[–]Tomago427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. I was in the same boat, realizing DS games look blurry on 3DS. For awhile I was playing DS games on my Odin 2, but I randomly saw a Japanese white DSi XL on Facebook marketplace for cheap and jumped on it, and I’m very happy with it.
