Hardware I got an N2DSXL

[Gamelogic]

Did you mean N2DS XL? No matter what you meant, the answer is no.

No I mean the n3DS XL. For example, I've seen claims that a high number of Hyrule Ed., Poke 20th, and now some claiming that a bulk in the UK (lol...) have dual IPS, so I was thinking along those lines in my request. I guess in the end I'll buy and cross fingers.

I wonder why they would need to change the circle pad applet? Surely that would be the same across all models?

I was kinda lazy with my description. It's called the Circle Pad Pro test/calibration applet (extrapad).
Still don't know what needed changing either.

Question: HOW IN HELL ARE YOU GUYS GETTING THESE SYSTEMS?!? They aren't even out yet! (At least, not here in the States.)

Whaaaat?!? Where's the love for the states, Nintendo? (Probably not getting it unless Pokémon Ultra Sun and/or Ever Oasis are N3DS exclusive though.)

Pretty!!! Will you give it a name? Maybe Tigger (I think I'm thinking that cause of the little toy bus)

I also have a fire ant version here which one you like?

Official confirmation: N2DSXL bootrom is unchanged, magnethax/ntrboothax + boot9strap will work on it.

I just finished hacking my n2ds xl awhile ago so this is mine.

Yep, read the first few pages and you will see OP had hacked his before me.

So I decided a hardmod wasn't worth the trouble and just got my brother to buy Sudoku on my old 3DS so I could use Sudohax. Works like a charm (after having to retry a bunch of times; thanks for error 014-0062, Nintendo - why is this so damn common during system transfers?)

I should warn people: I've already noticed the circle pad on the New 2DS XL marks the top screen just like the original 3DS, though thankfully, I don't think the touchscreen bezel scratches it like the original model does. Hopefully the circled doesn't actually scratch it over time like the old 3DS, but I wouldn't be so sure. It's also, one again, a huge, shiny fingerprint magnet, which is a real shame.

Thanks. Man, did they have to make the sd slot hug the ceiling of the section? I hope that will not cause any trouble.

It's definitely a bit cumbersome, but ultimately, it's far better than the stupid ideas they had for the New 3DS (XL), so at least it's an improvement over that.

Screw you guys, you get everything else. At least let us have this one shitty victory. I still want my exclusive Yo-kai Watch medals, dammit. We never got them over here...

Using the DSiWare boot injection (w/system transfer) method or a hardmod, yes. No hardmod has been detailed yet but it should be completely possible. I was going to open up my brother's and have a look, but I probably shouldn't since it's not mine to tinker with.

Really looks nice in white

Put screen protectors on it. I do that to all my systems. Either that or live with scratches on the bottom screen and marks on top screen.

Plailect updated the guide for N2DSXL. The diagram looks nice now. Balanced

Wow. Hadn't seen this post, @Quantumcat.

It seems a bit silly Nintendo didn't fix the bootrom for this console, but good to know it'll be able to have homebrew from the start.

Thanks for the info!

By the way. Could you share how did you get it? Early from a retailer?

Didn't know it was released earlier in AUS.

But yes, it will be released early in Japan too.

Didn't read the other posts, sorry.

@Quantumcat If you've installed themely, is the BGM working for you after you've installed a custom theme?

That stylus position is golden.

I don't see why it wouldn't.
