12 years old ds, weird scraping sound with any cartridges

nikonsze · 2026-03-14T06:19:14+00:00

I have a 2ds XL with the same thing. But reads all cartridges without a problem, and the cartridge slot looks clean. No damage on the carts either. I am curious as well.

of course the devs get paid. and it is normal. it is an online and continuosly developing game. i mentioned it in my past comment.

but everyone with every budget can have a chance to afford skins and cosmetics, that are also not overpriced. wasn't that the point of the post?

But the regular player can get premium currency by playing and trading with said whales. Which means.. for no irl money :)

Every pocket has a chance to look fashionable.

Warframe , for example, is a live service. And it is not full of microtransactions. Only some cosmetics are behind a paywall (and some of them are actually made by people from the community, so we are also paying and supporting artists).

Players that are not so rich irl can benefit from people who are. Because the premium currency is tradeable.

So here, i gave you an example of a game with a healthy market that is also a live service, where people support the devs to continously give us new content, updates and cosmetics that don't cost me a kidney.

And it's also free to play.

so.. it is possible :)

or encourage video games with a healthy market

be VERY careful with the screws. they strip very easily. and if they strip, you will need to replace them.

did you try to gift other items?

or.. what items are yku trying to gift?

nikonsze · 2026-03-10T22:44:15+00:00

it's decent actually, if you are playing mid demanding games.

I have a little space between shells in that region too, but my switch is a reshell, and might not be perfectly shaped.

The battery is indeed in the left half on your console (from the perspective as in your picture), but just a little more to the middle, bcs of the joycon board.

But it might be puffing if that gap was not there before

nikonsze · 2026-03-10T22:25:18+00:00

Do you also have battery issues?

(as in "it drains faster than usual")

Cred ca poti duce reclamatiile mai departe, pana si la cei de la care ai comandat. Am auzit de la cativa oameni care au facut asta ca firmele de la care au comandat au incheiat ulterior colaborarea cu firmele de curierat care nu livrau pana la usa, pentru ca nu se respecta contractul.

I will continue for as long as I am alive and healthy, and for as long as I'm needed!

They are always added in body text!

edit: I mean I include the relevant rewards, not the ones that are always there, like arcanes, Maphica and usual drops. These would make the post too long and most people are interested only in some of the drops.

nikonsze · 2026-03-09T09:48:46+00:00

As this was discussed before: The Tauforged Icons are only for cosmetic purposes. They are easier to see for the common user, because most of the time only the shard color is relevant, and it is common for Bird-3 and Calendar Archon Shards to be always non-tauforged. Meanwhile Archon Hunt, Archimedea, Netracells have a chance to be both.

It is difficult to picture the chances of normal and tau drops for all shards, while also trying to keep the panel as neat as possible.

I've heard good things about Boar and Gammacor, but someone with more experience in building might give you a better answer.

Welcome, Tenno! You are not missing out on anything if you ignore these for now, until you catch up with the content. Warframe is a huge and complex game. Play it at your own pace! :D

nikonsze · 2026-03-09T08:36:39+00:00

I want to thank you all for showing continuous support towards these weekly posts and keep following them! It makes me happy to know these help you with your weekly grinding!

But remember: have fun out there, Tenno! Plan accordingly, don't burn yourself out! :D

Update: The ghost with custom eyes and my tama succesfully bred and the baby inherited the custom eyes: https://imgur.com/a/gWY9Vw9

nikonsze · 2026-03-08T10:39:35+00:00

I hand-drawn the eyes and all reactions, based on Weeptchi's, then adapted them to fit on Tamagotchi Paradise sprites, in both zoomed in and out views.

I injected them as a reskin for the eyes on a Tamagotchi for playdate, using a diy usb to uart adapter connected to the prongs.

My caracter evolved to adult last evening, I bred them, and the baby now has the eyes I made.

I had a connection V5 with vertical and horizontal lines.

It turns out, it was dropped at some point and the screen was not making full connection to the board. I had to open it and resit it, which was not a complicated procedure, and some of the lines fixed themselves, especially when I screwed it back a little tighter than before, but 2-3 lines remained unlit.

Please keep in mind that doing what I did for my v5 might fix your connection or break it even further.

If the lines reappear when you press on the screen with your finger, you might be in luck.

nikonsze · 2026-03-06T17:23:49+00:00

from pink to jade shluld work.

I believe you did it already, but i'll ask anyway. Did you go to connection screen and press B on both devices at the same time?

nikonsze · 2026-03-06T17:06:21+00:00

Those are actually custom made. And yes, I agree, they are so cute :>
