Just buy the fucking XL version. It's cheaper.
>>340699985
>mad over 3DS
OP is just a typical insecure yuropoor buttflustered shitposting as usual.
Must suck having baby hands, at any rate.
Only good if you have baby back bich boi hands.
>>340699786
Bought that model not to long ago maybe a month, its available on bestbuys website for around $220 not too bad. Was my first handheld since the DS lite and I really do like it
I wouldn't be so mad if the XL had faceplates instead
>>340702195
I really like the faceplates
and I really like the Super Famicom style buttons
But I also just prefer the overall look & size aswell
Fucking hate that hinge gap tho
>>340702554
I prefer the XL because I have manhands that can grip a DOUK controller but I could've managed the normal N3DS considering I find playing a GB Micro to be comfy
>>340699786
can't get any of the cool faceplates here (australia) anymore. i'm holding out hope that something cool will come out with mhx
I want an XL with SNES coloured buttons.
If it's possible to import the Japanese Super Famicom themed XL to Australia and hack it, then I'll do that
>>340699786
>smaller screen but same hardware
>objectively best
lol no
>b-but muh jaggies
if you give a shit about graphics on a handheld, you should not be buying a 3DS
>import small model
>set up piracy
>???
>>340703927
Nobody wants a shitty jap console
>Large pixels meme
Can't you just hold it further from your face? It might even be better for your posture and eye fatigue.
It's fine for me since I used to play SNES on a large CRT TV, and the 3DS still plays it at native resolution.
The XL also has better battery life.
I'm unclear on the IPS situation; is it correct that both the N3DS and N3DSXL sometimes have IPS and sometimes have TN? Or does one of the models always have IPS?
>>340699786
Still manages to the the most uncomfortable thing I've ever held in my life.
>>340704887
N3DS Standard always will have a TN panel. XL can have an IPS screen
>>340704887
The O3ds aways has TN panels. They started using IPS panels on some N3DS units but there is no 100% guaranteed way to secure one
>>340699786
What's the point of the removable backplates? So you can look like even more of a turboautist?
>>340705793
They look cool. I have transparent ones so I can see the battery n stuff looks nice
>>340706036
You ca just remove the battery plate from the XL and get a transparent one, or one of those rubber covers.
can someone please tell me how to update my emunand
i'm on 9.0 rxtools n3ds
>>340699786
The New XL has an IPS top screen instead TN, which means superior colors and can be viewed from any angle without losing quality.
>>340706717
Not all of them do, SOME and its quite rare
>>340706492
Eh, Id rather just keep my Standard N3DS cause I like it better
>>340699786
The 2DS is for people who don't want to pay extra for a feature they aren't gonna use.
Honestly the 2DS feels awesome and I don't mind the regular screen size.
>>340707509
The 2ds is for poorfags and kids
>>340707856
Not really anon, I could have easily saved up another paycheck or so and gotten a 3DS XL, but what's the use of paying for a bigger screen. it looks just fine on the 2ds and the regular 3ds
>>340707509
Honestly might as well buy a 3DS its only like $100 more
>>340707509
Would buy a 2DS if i could get one of dem pokemon editions with the colored buttons
>>340699786
You don't need to remind us that Nintendo of America is shit, anon.
>>340708329
Blue one looks cool as fuck, which color would you get?
>>340709108
That's though, they all look so good.
But i'd probably have to go for blue aswell. Wish they were still available
>>340709369
tough*
>>340709369
you can get one on like amazon or ebay bro
>buy jap n3DS off ebay for like $170
>install US firmware in emunand
problem solved
>>340709627
Sadly, Im pretty sure these special editions are out of stock everywhere.
Not really interested in paying inflated eBay prices.
And I dont really want the regular transparent blue one cause the buttons arent colored..
>>340709941
was also thinking of getting the Yokai Watch 2ds but red isn't my aesthetic and everyone said this game was shit
>tfw imported a nip black N3DS
sucks to be you
>>340710327
I'd buy a 2DS but I already bought a 3DS so cant really justify it. Get a translucent one if u want one
>>340710597
You that hinge gap?
>>340702554
>>340710973
I honestly have no clue what the fuck you are talking about.
>>340710597
Can you not get a black n3ds in america or something?
>>340712128
You can't. The two available bundles have been white systems.
Ironic since we never got the white o3DS.
>>340712895
Nintendo really likes shafting america on the systems side of things.
Didn't you never get those clear colored pokemon 2DSs too?
Maybe it's payback for the nukes.
I would like to have gotten the smaller one but I'm in America and already have a hacked xl. Sometimes my top screen looks a little dim, like other people said about some models having worse colors.
>>340709108
hmmm should I buy one for piracy?
been thinking about it, dont want to mess around my n3dsxl.
>>340713372
If you want one for piracy buy a cheapo one. those pokemon ones will run you quite abit these days
>>340713372
You'd have to do some dns thing to make sure it cant connect to nintendo's servers while setting up through browserhax because 9.9+ firmwares will lock the browser until it updates to the latest fw if it receives the order when connecting and the only way around it is for n3ds only.
>>340713203
Jokes on them, I pirate all my games anyway. lol.
>>340713620
>>340713612
maybe if I get an old one from walmart or something It will have an old firmware.
>>340699786
>3DS piracy is literally(yes, LITERALLY) point camera at QR code and game installs
I can't even tell you how amazing this shit is. I have a folder filled with old nes, snes and genesis titles. Even got around to finally playing Ecco the Dolphin.
Why can't the Vita be this easy?
>>340713745
No you need to do that bullshit WITH the firmware they come with, they were only released recent-ish. You must not connect to the internet with the device when you get it or it will be locked and then you'd need cubic ninja or something.
Also america doesn't have those 2ds's, they were only released in japan, and all the PAL regions.
So basically everywhere except america,
>>340713973
im not talking about the pokemon 2ds anon, im talking about teh regular 2ds, the ones that came out before those
>>340713956
Because sony has more experience with antipiracy than nintendo.
Nintendo doesn't even have a way to tell if an installed .cia was payed for or not so you can play online with no problems and they cant do anything about it.
>>340714080
Then maybe, you'd need to make sure it's not a recently manufactured model though, reddit has a list of the model numbers with the packaged firmware somewhere to help with that though i think it's more aimed at n3DSs
>>340708012
Do you make 1 dollar an hour
>>340714220
in some 3rd world countries people get paid by the day.
for example in Mexico the minum wage is about.... 5 bucks PER day.
>>340713956
Teach me to hack my n3ds
Waiting of this piece of shit to arrive in the mail. Got it for $190 because I couldn't find a good deal on a non xl n3ds. Of course the day after I bought it like 3 went up on ebay for $175 buy it now
>>340714082
>sony has more experience with antipiracy than nintendo
PS3 piracy is just downloading shit from Sony's servers, same shit.
>>340714437
I have never heard of that so i don't believe you.. And getting banned for going online with CFW is really common on ps3
>>340713956
how?
>>340705243
Both my small N3DS and N3DS XL have IPS panels. Got lucky.
>>340714669
with both 360 and PS3 you can basically download shit from the store for free
>>340714716
>>340714310
What firmware are u fuccbois on?
>>340714716
/vg/ thread. take you about an hour to get it all setup.

Yeah, though, online is a no go.

here faggot. Literally the best guide out there.
>>340714823
9.2 I haven't touched my 3ds in a long time
>>340714828
Fuck my SD card is only 4GB
>>340714823
Not sure. Probably the latest
>>340715009
>4GB
don't even bother. you'll be able to set it up, but you won't have enough room for multiple games.
pick up one of those $10-15 64GB, fat32 format it and use that.
>>340715316
Why not just use a flashcart ? like sky3ds?
>>340715009
You're golden then, you dont need to buy anything
>>340715409
haven't checked in a very long time, but aren't those sky3ds carts nearly $80?
>>340715678
Dunno just was wondering why jailbreak instea dof buying a flashcart where u dont need to risk fucking shit up
>>340715228
You still can install it but you need a specific game for the exploit and at this point it's probably gone the way of cubic ninja. It's calles FreakyForms
>>340716107
The risk is already zero unless you're retarded but I guess we already established that you are since you're considering getting a flashcart.
>2DS mushy buttons
>implying this is a bad thing
>>340713372
Do it, piracy is pretty stable nowadays, only way to brick is if you're an idiot, and once you've finished setting it up you'll have a way to recover from any brick set up
>>340713620
Not true any more, there's been a way to get rid of the browser nag for a while
>>340716107
You can go for a sky3ds but it'll cost you a lot more, and the risk of fucking stuff up at this point is entirely down to human error
