Which DOM to purchase? Any recommendations?

Building out my 2nd all flash Unraid.
Want to try the DOM route.

Looking for recommendations on which one I need to buy.

I saw the one on Amazon doesnt work on Unraid since it apparently has no GUID for the license.

I saw several on eBay by ATP. Is this the one I should be going for?

edit: thank you everyone for the responses the community has been extremely helpful and given me exactly what I’m looking for

Beelink Me Mini Power Issues

Anyone know if the new Beelink Me Mini configuration with no eMMC and 16GB RAM with 1TB SSD still have 3.3V power rail issues?

I am trying to see if i can populate the NAS (if not full 6x DRAM SSDs) then with at least 3x nvme ssds which have DRAM and 3 more without DRAM; or am i still limited to only running DRAM-less?

I already tried searching online for more information, but most of the information is outdated from the end of last year and the results have been mixed.

It’s now 2026, and I haven’t seen any new discussions about the power rail issues regarding this. Just wondering if it’s safe to go ahead and purchase this device if I do plan to at least populate some of the slots with DRAM SSDs or if i can even go full DRAM. or am I stuck with only DRAMless again.

Question regarding New Nintendo 3DS XL/LL TN -> IPS Modding

Hello everyone, I hope this is the right place to ask such questions.

I've done my due diligence of Google searching my questions, but I wasn't able to get a clear answer, also I'm looking for opinions from people who have done the same thing.

So for the past few months, I've gone on a 3DS software modding frenzy. I've modded over 8+ consoles at this point, just because of how damn easy and smooth the process is. I am pretty familiar with the modding software now as well. I am venturing into PS Vita modding now, but that is getting off topic.

OK, so long story short; I have a pristine New 3DS LL Pikachu Yellow Edition I got from Japan. This thing is mint, not near mint, actual Mint. Its so damn clean, its beautiful.

The problem is that it is DUAL TN panel.

I recently got my hands on a Dual IPS panel Hyrule XL in near mint condition and damn, the difference is kinda noticeable. Especially at night. I have a Pearl White New 3DS LL as well that is Top TN, but Bottom IPS, and the screen quality is noticeable (enough for me). The brightness and the colors are ever so slightly better, and ofc the viewing angles.

So here's my conundrum:

  1. I want to create a Dual IPS version, using the shell and buttons and everything, of my New 3DS LL Pikachu Yellow Edition (Dual TN). Is this possible? What is the best way to approach this? Buy a used Dual IPS donor console from eBay and reshell?
  2. I want to turn my Pearl White New 3DS LL, the console condition is ALSO MINT, not near mint, actual mint, But it is Top TN and Bottom IPS. Can I just buy this from iFixit: https://www.ifixit.com/products/nintendo-3ds-xl-2015-upper-lcd and then get a hardware re-shell 3ds repair service (I have a local console repair shop that does 3ds mods and repairs who is willing to do this work for me, i checked) to install the top IPS from iFixit to turn it into a Dual IPS Pearl White New 3DS LL?

===

In my initial search for more information on this, I saw that forcefully install installing an IPS panel onto an original TN panel 3DS could result in color and brightness issues due to the fact that driver for the screens is calibrated on the base motherboard. So installing an IPS panel, might lead to screen that is too vibrant or too bright or the opposite.

  1. What has been the actual consensus on this in terms of screen quality swapping in a new IPS panel for where a TN panel used to be? Are there any workaround for this? I heard there are filters we can use in Rosalina? Is that sufficient? Is doing calibration for the driver on the motherboard and actual thing that repair shops can do (I assume not)? How bad is it really if I force install iFixit's IPS panel into a place where TN used to be?
  2. Is iFixit the place to buy IPS panels? Or should I be looking elsewhere for quality panels?
  3. Say the screen swap/shell swap is done. If I booed up the console and looked at the hardware info with 3dsident or Rosalina, will it say dual IPS or will it still say original TN? I heard there's a way that we can actually modify the NAND to reflect IPS? Is this too risky/too much work? Or will 3DSident/Rosalina pick up that the new screen is IPS?

Just looking for any advice and information about this type of screen mod.

My ultimate goal is to build as many DUAL IPS versions of the new 3ds XL/LLs I have.

Should I just buy Dual IPS consoles from the get go (B-grade ones) and just do shell swaps into my better shells?

TONS OF PEOPLE BREAKING RULES - BECAREFUL OF SCAMMERS

I absolutely cannot believe the amount of rule breaking that is happening in this sub Reddit. Where are the @mods

I cannot believe this needs to be said; but since so many people are ridiculously desperate I’ll post it again. The following was taken from AX Discord:

If you’re buying badges, tickets, autographs, proxy and you are not getting item/badge in hand in person, do NOT cashapp, do NOT Zelle, do NOT send via friends and family. Those offer you zero protection, and is equal to handing a stranger cash. Every single year scammers come in here and make off with thousands of dollars because of desperate AX attendees. Do not become a victim, practice due diligence, and read the buy and sell rules. If you find something suspicious, shoot me a message

The only time you should be using the above is if you’re meeting in person and you see them transfer in front of you or give you the badge. Remember, zelle/cashapp is the same as cash, same with friends and family transactions. ALWAYS GOODS AND SERVICES.

JP CBT emails went out

Man did ANYONE get in?

I applied with 4 accounts, used different emails, and different devices and different computers, some on JP VPN and some not.

Not a single one got CBT access. Either a ton of people applied and they had minimal spots or this was ultra selective. I had multiple hardware configs submitted as well. Even had CC profile linked for 1 of the apps.

Anyone manage to get an extra they wanna share? ;)

Pocket DS stuck in update?

Got my brand new retro color Ayaneo Pocket DS. Decided to boot it up today for first time and start setting things up. Real standard set up just the normal Google services and updating the base apps. Went into Aya Settings and updated all the apps under system update. Tried to update the whole system and its now stuck on this page and continues to keep spinning. Left it alone for a solid 30 mins, stuck on same screen.

Anyone know whats up?

Rest of the device functions fine, but I cant check for system update anymore. Just stuck here.

Button Decals for XBOX controller layout

does anyone know where I can find button decals for an Xbox and PlayStation controller layout? Combined.

I’ve noticed that all the default button layouts even on retroid devices follow the Nintendo button layout where the B button is the bottom button and so on

This is great for most Nintendo games but I do play a lot of other games as well and honestly I get mixed up when I play games using an Xbox controller layout. Pretty much any steam game or android game with official controller support

I really wish there was a button decal out there that had both PlayStation and Xbox button layout.

does anyone know where I can find a sticker decal. I checked etsy and couldnt find anything.

open to suggestions as well that do not involve me opening up my console just to swap buttons
