Anyone played this Pokémon hack on DSi GBARunner 2 or 3?

I really want to play this hack on my DSi (Twilight Menu++). Anyone had any success? Asking because I don't want my save file to get corrupted anywhere in the middle of my playthrough 🤧

Thanks in advance

What’s your favorite DS/3DS/2DS model? How would you rank all models?!

Whats your guys favorite DS/3DS models? What’s the worst? If you can rank them too that’s perfect, I like to see what people’s preferences are.

I personally believe DSi XL is the best DS model and original 3DS is the perfect 3DS model. I appreciate the new 3ds lineups and 2ds’s too! (Original 2ds design was bold, felt like a modern day gameboy)

I’m trying to curate a collection at the moment so that picture gives an idea what models which Incase someone comes across and doesn’t understand which is which.

What games are you playing right now?

I´m currently playing Pokemon Ranger and Battle of Giants: Dinosaurs.

I played both like 15 years ago and I'm enjoying them so much, specially Pokemon Ranger. Can't wait to end it and start the other two games that are said to be even better!

What games are you playing lately, what games do you recommend based on what I'm playing right now?

Minor edge wear on my week-old Hyrule Edition New 3DS XL — worth stressing over or just let it go?

Picked up a New 3DS XL Hyrule Edition a week ago (bought it on the local secondhand market, not new). Overall really happy with it, but I noticed the gold foil/decal on the edge has already started lifting/wearing slightly where the case rubs against it — you can only really see it up close, not when the console is closed or held normally.

I know this is apparently a pretty common thing with this edition since the design is a foil layer on top of the plastic shell, not baked into the material. Functionally it changes nothing, all buttons/screens/hinges are perfect.

Here's my dilemma: I also own a mint Hyrule Edition Switch Lite, so now I've got this nagging "the set isn't perfectly pristine anymore" feeling, even though I bought this specifically to use, not to shelve. I looked into replacement shells (aftermarket, since OEM ones don't exist anymore), but:

  • They're not cheap, especially official-looking ones
  • They're all aftermarket/replica quality, not guaranteed to match perfectly
  • If I sold my current one to fund a "perfect" replacement, I'd lose money to marketplace fees + risk (return fraud, buyer damaging it and claiming INAD, etc.)
  • Swapping the shell would also mean my serial number wouldn't match anymore, which honestly bugs me too

So realistically: is this the kind of wear that just becomes invisible once you've used the thing for a while, or am I right to be annoyed? Anyone else own one of these and dealt with the same foil wear? Did it get worse over time or kind of plateau?

Just looking for a reality check from people who've actually lived with one of these for a while — trying to decide if I should just relax and enjoy the handheld, or if there's a smarter way to handle this.

Nintendo DS Custom Startup

I made this in like a day. I made the text dark then put a shadow on it. I also decided to keyframe the colors to red green and blue.

Pokemon Platinum Cartridge Won't Read

I've cleaned the cartridge twice with rubbing alcohol and once with an eraser. The pins look pretty damaged, however the right cartridge (soul silver) is equally if not more dirty than my platinum cartridge yet I've put in over 100 hours after digging it up and cleaning it a couple months ago.

I'm curious if there are any specific pins that may need to be cleaned further, or if my platinum cartridge isn't reading for another reason.

Places to buy DS/3DS games

I would love if anyone could point me to a reliable place to buy DS and 3DS related games, specifically from the pokemon collection. I'm trying to collect all the mainline games for nostalgia, but I don't trust Ebay as I'm not trained at spotting fakes. Any suggestions or advice will help.

Any idea what that might be?

After disassembling my DSi XL, only the bottom screen flashes with the blue LED and nothing else happens.

It was working perfectly before this, I disassembled it with the intention to clean it up.

Attempted to reseat the all ribbon cables including the top and bottom screen, checked that the Wi-Fi card is seated properly, battery is fine but still nothing.

When I plug it in the charger, it has a steady orange LED which should be a good indicator but did I ruin it?

Got a steal at the flea market for my first DS console!

I was browsing through the flea market yesterday when I stumbled upon this DSi someone was selling for 20$, I knew it was a steal so I bought it from the guy and had a chat with him.

The story he told me was really interesting, he bought this DSi for his daughter in 2010, but after only about 2 years he bought her a 3ds and put this console in storage, sitting on a box for nearly 14 years! The screens have yellowed a bit but I plan on installing a new screen on it later. It has a few scratches on the outside plastic but overall its basically brand new and well taken care of!

Been playing New Super Mario Bros and Pokemon Black and its been a blast so far!

should i buy another dsi or just fix the upper screen?

my dsi upper screen has dead pixels and the lower screen is moldy.

i dont know which shop to get a new screen, it costs around $8-10 in my country, some are lower than that but idk if they are good quality. i found a dsi on marketplace and it’s around $25 but has little bit of yellow spots which is probably mold and it would be easier to clean and look more better than my dsi. one thing is i am scared of repairing my dsi by myself and i cant also open it to clean the lower screen because of the screws being hard to twist.

the 2nd 3rd photo is from the marketplace
