hello!! im sorry if this is worded poorly or if this is formatted weirdly, ive not asked for help on stuff like this before!! i initially asked this on the homebrew discord, but didn't seem to get an answer.
back in december of last year, my 2ds xl (pokeball model) froze out of nowhere while i was doing something (i dont remember what), and i got this error when i tried to force-shutdown my ds:
Code:
Processor: Arm11 (core 1)
Exception type: prefetch abort (kernel panic)
Fault status: Debug event
Current process: socket (0004013000002e02)

Register dump:

r0             80000000            r1             00000000

r6             0401cc13            r7             1ffae280
r8             fff79e1c            r9             fff7a08c
r10            00000020            r11            00000004
r12            00000000            sp             fe56dd10
lr             fff23ce0            pc             fff1c848

cpsr           a00b0013            dfsr           0000140e
ifsr           00000002            far            00000000
fpexc          00000000            fpinst         eebd0ac0
fpinst2        eebd0ac0
now here's the strange part: a few seconds after i got this error, the ds shut off on its own (the power light didn't fade off like it normally would if you shut it down, it just shut off. my ds was fully charged as well). when i turned on my ds, the same error appeared almost instantly, where i was able to save the crash dump. i learnt that kernel panic linked to potential hardware problems, but i can't seem to find any info on this specific error (kernel panic on process socket). no errors like this had happened since then, however i'm still really paranoid about this.

all of that leads me to this question: is this error something to heavily worry about?? help is much appreciated!!

I have gotten something similar on my old 3ds XL, it appears to be normal, and my 3ds works fine so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
