Adding a second image for texture. I’m not sure if links are allowed and don’t want to come across as a self advertiser. I was just so impressed I had to share with someone. This is one handsome 2DS XL!
I’m new to the hacked 3ds world and I absolutely love it! The last gameboy I owned was the advanced sp and the 3ds is like a time capsule of the best period of gaming history. I desperately want to start building shell mods fix their wobbly screen though.
I absolutely agree with you about it’s place in gaming history. The wobbly screen definitely takes some getting used to. I’m not exactly sure why they decided to design it that way. I know the DS Lite models were prone to hinge cracking so maybe they left the slack in them to reduce that issue? Either way I sympathize with ya!
I’ll need to crack it open and look at it, but from what I’ve seen I may be able to slot some rubber gaskets into the hinge to hold tension. It will feel more like modern laptop screens that way.
Love my 2DS XL. I’m sad that Nintendo totally shelved their mobile line since the switch is portable. Battery life on the DS line is incredible. I still get long hours from my DS Lite
they have, although some do take AA or AAA batteries but its very uncommon. some especially carbon monixide dectectors have internal batteries that require replacement.
As a kid I’d always go to the appliance section at the thrift stores my family would frequent to see if I could forage some batteries left in the products. They are almost always nearly dead, but I’d take 15 minutes of Gameboy time over nothing.
My parents rarely bought me batteries, and when they did they’d buy the big packs of off-brand ones that only lasted an hour anyway, so I had no power more often than not.
A little while after the Gameboy color came out, I was able to get my hands on a rechargeable battery pack, and I remember thinking that was an absolute game changer.
I don’t miss the days of everything running on batteries.
I do. I have rechargeable aa and aaa batteries. When a battery pack goes bad it’s a pita to order/buy/replace. When my rechargeable AAA battery goes bad…“oh, look. I have a dozen more and they were like a buck a piece.”
When I was about 10, my mum was addicted to tetris on the GB. I’d get home from school and literally every battery in the house would be completely dead…
I talked to her about it a few years ago, she told me that for about 5 years after she stopped playing she’d dream about tetris more often than anything else.
