Hi all,
Just got into whatnot through a redditors referral code and I got $25. I bought two items and think whatnot is pretty cool. I don’t do the auctions, just look at buy it now items.
Wanted to share my code if anyone else wants to get started too. You get anywhere between $10-200 in credits. I got $25 from someone else’s code. Feel free to use.
They both seem very clean in design! The burgundy is a CIB for $175 which is pretty steep, but condition seems great. Maybe a tad yellowing of lcd screens, but very minor.
The white also looks great! Not sure if the shell of the white will yellow over time, but the screens do not seem to have yellowing. This comes with the stylus, and is $135 but loose (not CIB).
CIB vs not CIB is not an issue for me. Kind of leaning more towards white, but not too sure. Price for white seems up my alley. Trying to decide before someone else buys them. Only cosmetic flaw I see in the white is the yellow spots on the left side of the handheld in the first picture. It does look like the white one has almost no yellowing of screens, the burgundy looks like it may have slight yellowing
Trying to buy a dsi XL/LL for modding and gaming, but eBay listings honestly seem pretty rough. Marketplace isn’t any better. I currently have my eye on a red dsi LL CIB for $160 shipped. I’m not specifically looking for a CIB, but am definitely looking for a handheld in great/near mint cosmetic condition. This is really the only listing with a near mint looking handheld, but $160 seems over my pay grade.
Other listings on eBay have $100+ for beat up consoles. I read about people getting these for cheap, especially the LL version. Do I just wait and continue to look? How did you have success buying?
Hi all,
I’ve had this urge to dive into DSi XL modding and gaming and am super excited. I’ve been looking for a DSi XL (or LL) online to buy. The challenge has been finding one in very good cosmetic shape for a fair price.
I stumbled upon some information online that some DSi LL have yellowing screens. It’s evident on certain angles of eBay screenshots, then not so evident on others. Post doesn’t mention much. I didn’t even know this was problem until recently. Apparently it can’t be reversed?
Does this mean I should look specifically for an XL and not LL to avoid yellowing? Or even avoid yellowing in the future? I’m just looking for a good handheld cosmetically and don’t care for xl vs LL but did read that LL is slightly cheaper. This is an example of one I’m eying as of now but the screen is sus.
P.s: does the stylus slightly hang out or protrude from the console by design? Looks weird. Don’t have a pic of it here
Comment before pm. Thanks!
I’m not too picky about color honestly. Just looking for a console in really good shape. PayPal is my preferred method of payment due to protections.
Please comment before pm. Thank you
Hi all,
Have my OG gba sp. it seems to charge fine. However, it does not power on at all.
I took it apart, tried the battery in another gba sp and can confirm the battery is working fine.
Looking at the motherboard, I cleaned around the power button with alcohol. I got it to turn on once but turned it off and couldn’t turn it back on. I can get the power light to flicker sometimes, but can’t get consistent power on it. Sorry, not the best pictures, but any ideas? I imagine something is wrong with my power button although it looks fine.
Please comment before pm. Thanks
Looking for a $100 eBay GC. Willing to trade it for $100 GameStop, or for percent of Zelle/cashapp/paypal/venmo.

Just got a dsi xl and managed to install unlaunch. I have the boot.nds for twilight ++ on the root of my sd card and I can boot into twilight ++ via unlaunch. However, when in unlaunch, when I go to "options" and go to "No button" and click any button at all, it just returns me to the main menu of unlaunch and nothing happens. I can't set it to twilight ++. Any help would be appreciated.
I met with a Q-optics and Lumadent rep. Both quoted around $3000-3300 with the light, which is definitely within my range. Bryant dental was trying to sell me the $6k ones with variable mag and light which I passed on. I avoided orascoptics due to reading on the sub about their bad customer service. Also avoiding the Israeli companies.
I really didn’t see much of a difference between Lumadent and q optics. It’s also hard to compare when I don’t have both on me. The Lumadent loupes mag option was the 7x or whatever, while q optics was 4.5 max, but the 7x wasn’t a true 7x (7x Lumadent felt like 4.5x q-optics). The q optics rep really recommended the 4x also over the 4.5 due to more field of vision.
I met these guys a while ago and would like to invest in a pair early in my career, but having a hard time deciding between the two. I’m terrible at buying new products.
Hello,
I managed to install unlaunch on my dsi xl. However, I can’t do much from the menu screen when I boot into it.
As of now, when I turn on my dsi xl, I boot into unlaunch. I cannot select a title for “NO BUTTON as nothing happens when I try to do so.
My only objective is trying to get forwarders for my nds backups. That’s it. I read from the guide that hiyacfw is needed for that, but I can’t seem to do anything from unlaunch menu (can’t open twilight menu ++ either).
Can someone guide me how to move forward from here? I’ve followed the modding guide pinned to get this far but not sure what’s next.
Ps: can I change the background of unlaunch? It’s creepy af.
Hi all,
I have an omen monitor with my ps5 and steamdeck hooked to it. Steamdeck via display port, ps5 via hdmi. The monitor has been set up for years to turn on automatically when either console is powered on.
Everything still functions fine with the steam deck (the monitor turns on when deck is powered on). However, when I power on my ps5, the monitor no longer auto turns on and I have to manually push buttons on the monitor to connect it to the ps5. This has never been and issue before and it just started happening randomly. I haven’t changed anything about my setup.
Any ideas?
Like, first time meeting this 57 year old guy. By falling asleep, he set me up for success. I went to town. He Came in with an issue on #2. He ended up needing endo/core/crown. This guy told me to do whatever I needed to do. I opened the tooth, found my mb2, and was working through this second molar endo while his eyes were totally shut for the entire 1.5 hours and snorting like he hadn’t slept in days. I’m like “Ed, Ed, you okay?” No response. I just kept going. I felt so bad when I had to take my operative cone fit radiographs. I’m very gently moving the dam frame aside, placing the xcp and held it in myself so as to not disturb him lmao.
The endo turned out great. I woke him up and he even allowed me to prep for crown and impressed and all today. I’m usually very anxious with molar endo and don’t do it often, but this was one of the least stressful circumstances I’ve worked under. I wish everyone was like Ed.
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to revive my NES console. Last time I played it was 6 years ago, and it was just fine.
Now I get met with a purple screen. I thoroughly cleaned the game cartridge contacts with isopropyl alcohol (91%) and got all the gunk of the game contacts. Can’t get a single game to work.
I then opened my NES and tried boiling my 72 pin connector for 20 min or so, let it dry and tried it in. Also cleaned the motherboard contacts where the pin connector latches on. Still getting the purple screen.
Anyone have anything else I can try here? Should I use the brasso on my motherboard contacts with the 72 connector and try brasso on one of my games? I read mixed opinions on it and not sure where to go from here.
Any help appreciated.
Hi folks,
I’ve had a few cases lately where when elevating a lower molar (or doing figure 8 movement with forceps), my patient will sometimes immediately hold their TMJ on the opposite side and report they feel discomfort there, leading me to pause. For example, if extracting 30, during some elevation/forceps action, my patient today was holding their left TMJ and needed some breaks, reporting her jaw was hurting her.
I do not use bite blocks, but I do try to support the jaw when elevating. Is this happening because I’m not supporting the jaw well enough? Or is it because I’m elevating way harder than I should be?
Hi all,
I just got my hands on this dsi xl. First time owning one and plan on modding soon! I bought the dsi xl for $35, and it came with pokemon white and charger (no stylus). I feel like I really hit a jackpot. Cleaned it up and everything tested to be working just fine.
It is pretty badly scuffed though externally. The top screen has that white scratch which appears as a slight annoyance/smudge, but doesn’t bother me enough to replace the screen. Also 1 dead pixel on top screen it appears (black pixel). Bottom screen all good but scratched up.
Was wondering if it’s worth the attempt to reshell this. Never reshelled anything before and read that this is a difficult one. Maybe just keep the parts original? It’s really just the outer plates, but would love your thoughts.
I also snagged a DS lite, and that has a bunch of dead/colored pixels on top screen. I heard the top DS lite screen has to be soldered in, so I don’t think I will be messing with that.
I was browsing market place and came across someone selling a super famicom. Never seen one before and became very interested! Started looking at eBay listings, reading about chip types, that super famicom games are generally cheaper, that if used in the US need to use a step down transformer etc.
I was gifted a US snes in pristine condition along with Mario kart CIB, 2 controllers, Mario all stars and Mario world. I bought a few games for the snes trying to buildup my classic library when I was a kid, but games are really expensive (earthbound, mega man x games, super Metroid etc).
I was wondering if buying a super famicom would fill the void. For example, I saw a super F for $140 with shipping included on eBay with 10 games (SHVC 001). It appears this is roughly what they go for, but I was reading that chip 1 is almost a must, and that those go for more and that anything non-chip 1 will have failing hardware who knows when given the age of the consoles already.
I understand the games are jap only, but plan to play games that don’t require reading like Mario and mega man.
