    I absolutely love my modded 3DS XL. I never had one growing up so now Iam able to play thru all the games I missed without having to purchase them, amazing.
    I hope at some point down the line Nintendo releases another clam shell design dedicated handheld.

    I love how I can play Chrono Trigger on DS systems since they haven't come out with it yet on Switch. For me, it's worth having one for that alone.

      Try it on a modded wii u! Can inject it into a DS title, and then you have access to wii u features like button remapping, pixel blur (I forget what the feature is actually called, but it actually makes this game like really nice), and save state.

    People know that the Citra emulator has been taken down because it was made by the same people that made the Switch emulator. But what a lot of people are forgetting is that Retroarch still works with 3DS so it's actually not that big of a problem

      @@robmalcolm8042 for the other platforms emulation on pc is definitely better... but for the 3ds because of the two screens also and with the 3ds the games go at 60 (while the emulator is based on the smooth version of the 3ds) for sure if you find a new 3ds at a good price it's definitely worth it given the library and the support for the cfw scene

    Modded 3ds is everything I wanted. Getting access to any game I am feeling like is sooo nice. Switch games are so overpriced right now. But the fact that I paid the same for my 3ds xl used with some scratch as a brand new switch lite is kinda meh. But this console has been going up in popularity like crazy lately. The 3ds xl is indeed way easier to transport and less fragile which I love! All in all, I'm excited to experience all the Pokemon, Zelda and big games I have missed out on.

    While you're right on most points, you're kinda dropping the ball on preservation. What you need to know, is that unlike most older cartridge based consoles from Nintendo, 3DS cartridges use flash memory. Why does that matter? Well older consoles' cartridges use "mask rom". That means: the data is actually "soldered" onto the cartridge. As a result, it can never lose its data.
    Flash memory on the other hand traps electrons in a grid, but slowly leaks over time, making it unreadable after several years.
    I've read somewhere that 3DS cartridges are rated to last 20 years. Beyond that, it's anyones' guess, but they WILL lose their data at some point. N64, SNES, or gameboy cartridges, however, will keep their data forever. (or at least for as long the solder joints last)
    So for preservation's sake, digital 3DS games are actually better IF you also back them up from time to time. (and have more than 1 backup). After all, the storage devices you'd use for backup will degrade over time too.

    • @DanyTheMe
      @DanyTheMe Před 19 dny

      Maybe cartridges, but downloaded games are stored on sd cards which only loose their data if you exceed the write/rewrite capacity on the card, but if you just download the games and updates and don't constantly add/delete things from the card it'll hold that content indefinitely.

    Nowadays we need to learn to make the distinction between "handheld" and "portable". Steam Deck, PSP, GB are all handheld, but Steam Deck isn't portable for example.
