Meta We want your feedback!

23 Upvotes

Hello r/3DS!

It's been a little over 7 months since our previous subreddit rule changes, so we'd like your feedback on how the new rules have been working for you all.

Some suggestions we've had during the past few months have been:

- Prohibiting and directing "is this real/reshelled?" posts to r/gameverifying

- Abolishing rule 6 (Meme Mondays)

neither of these have been implemented as of now, as community feedback is wanted before implementing.

Any suggestions on rule changes, additions, or removals are welcome. Please be civil and constructive when suggesting. Make sure to give actual suggestions as well. "I don't like x" isn't a suggestion. "I don't like x because x, I think x would be better" is a suggestion.

This is also a good time to say that subreddit moderator applications are open. If you're interested in moderating the subreddit, send in your application!

Feels wrong for this to have been locked to 3DS for 13 years now. A link between the past, four swords and link between worlds port on switch. I’d pay $50-$60 for that not gonna lie

it's not a demake, it's not a poorly made replica, it's whole minecraft java running on 3ds (Specifically version 1.2.5), based on the open source project made by Optijuegos: Opticraft Heritage Edition

It has infinite worlds, Small size worlds and Legacy worlds, The game runs from 10 to 30 fps very playable and runs at 2 chunks due to the limitations of the console

This port its made by Rami in discord.

Expanding on this post from yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/s/ndTbwKK7XP

This time I kept it to one screen so it's not so tiny on people's phones. I'd recommend pressing on it and zooming in if you're viewing it vertically on a phone screen. Hopefully this illustrates the differences and how minor/major they are in different examples

A little bit of info about each:

  • Black New 3DS- My childhood console. I got it as a birthday present in 2018 used from some random shop, wayyy before prices were as crazy as they are today. It's actually the Dragon Ball edition console, though I've never played the installed game.
  • Red New 3DS XL- Bought it from Japan for a friend, friend didn't want it and turns out it was dual IPS. It's boxed as well.
  • White New 3DS XL- I made myself from 3 separate New 3DS XLs (2 Japanese and 1 European). It's dual IPS with a European motherboard. It has also been used at the Louvre as an audio guide for my brother (they joys of having a sibling with a collection of consoles.
  • Black 2DS- It was like £20, so I couldn't say no haha.
  • Red 2DS- I used to have an Omega Ruby 2DS and sold it, and kinda wanted another transparent 2DS.
  • Sun and Moon 2DS- My brother's but now I'm just the custodian of it!

My collection is a little excessive, but I'm a little attached to them and like they were all incredibly good prices!

Request Just found my old Super Smash Bros 3DS, and I have two requests!

14 Upvotes

One, I haven’t seen many DSs like this, so is this like a rare pattern? Idk, either way I’m keeping it, just wanted to know!

Two, I’ve played like four games on this thing: Donkey Kong Country Returns, Jurassic World, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Goosebumps: The Game. I’m shit at anything I try, I’ve come to terms with that, so are there any easy or more open-world games I should try? I’ve only ever 100%’ed Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and like five of those ‘Needle in a Haystack’ and ‘Sort a Library’ style games.

You may have seen my post from about a week ago, I traded some tattoos for a black n3dsxl. That was a gift for my girlfriend, so this week I was able to trade some more work to get one for myself. Im very excited and grateful. I do NOT plan on reselling this is something I have wanted since a small lil jit.

Miscellaneous If anyone ever asks if DS games on 3DS really look much worse when they fill the screen, just show them this

First is the original, second is how the 3DS scales it, in case you somehow can't tell lol. Both integer scaled to 1280x960 per screen to look nice for the Internet (5x for DS, 4x for 3DS)

In case you didn't know, if you hold Start or Select while opening a DS game on the 3DS, you can make it display without any blurry upscaling. It'll be smaller since it's mapping pixel-to-pixel, which is unusable on a small 3DS/2DS imo. But fun fact, a 3DS/2DS XL will actually display it bigger than any DS other than the DSi XL. So it's actually completely usable there

EDIT: If you're viewing this on your phone, please press on the pictures and put it in landscape (horizontal) mode! Try to replicate the size of a 3DS/DS screen as close as you can. I realize now I shouldn't have put the images next to each other horizontally, that was silly of me

EDIT 2: More comparisons here: https://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/s/VRItF6jMM3

Technical Question Planning to save this locally broken N3DS, it is worth fixing (and buying)?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

I found this on Facebook Marketplace.. considering how rare are New 3DS variants in my country and it's cheap price (67.25 euro!) and how willing I want a N3DS for both playing with my friends and making gameports and 3DS themes and homebrew stuff.
Now I want to clarify that I'm no expert on fixing these, the owner of it said it doesn't have a charger and it's top screen's dysfunction was because of the sun.. It would be nice to save it from destruction :0

It is worth buying and fixing please? This is kinda new to me and I want help from people with knowledge

she bought 2 sets of faceplates and drew on two of them for me (I like Scrooge and I smoke). she's very talented and very kind!! she bought a stylus and a clear shell, and the cherry on top : it's a dual ips new 3ds. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it, and she never knew about ips, it's just pure luck. it's an amazing story and I love her!!

ps : I already had an n3dsxl dual ips fire emblem fate, but idk playing on it felt always wrong because of my hands size. I always considered a new 3ds, and she managed to pull this gem. she's a keeper

Bought a japanese o3ds xl and received it on the 28th of september, modded it and region swapped it, added a couple of games alongside a case for it. Yesterday i realized after having it in the light that it had a crack on the hinge and at the moment seems superficial. Looked up that apparently they are prone to cracking, especially on the right side. How long would you guys say I have until its 100% necessary to do a mid-frame replacement on it?

I'm the sole developer, been developing it for a few months now. I released it two days ago to the public, a lot of stuff's done, and a lot of stuff isn't. I hope you all like it. I didn't know if this was the proper place to promote homebrew but I saw the Vampire Survivors post requesting a port so figured I'd shoot my shot. Plus its Saturday so maybe it can stay up under Rule 5?
