I want to play a few ds games on my New 3ds everything takes while to boot. Just to boot the 3ds it takes about 10 seconds (maybe a little less) then to boot the r4 it takes a couple seconds, then to manually select the game you want off the r4 it takes more time. I was thinking about running my 3ds is sleep mode until i finish an rpg but im wondering if that can harm my 3ds?
That's why I got official charging cradles for all my 3DS's [emoji14]It might run out of battery. Keep a charger on hand.
I have had mine in sleep mode for years now, have not shut it off since getting it on release day, unless absolutely needing to. Pretty sure it was designed for this...
Not that I'm aware of. Mine is always plugged into the charger and in sleep mode and I never noticed any issues.
It will put more wear on your battery unnecessarily.
That battery might be in fantastic shape I assume...
Indeed, but I still see it as a waste of battery life if you do it frequently. The Switch drains relatively quickly in sleep mode so if you know you probably won't be using it again today it's better to shut it down completely and then it can keep that charge for at least 6 months. Leaving it in sleep all the time just wastes charge cycles because you're gonna have to charge it more often. Might not make a huge difference but at least you're not needlessly wearing down the battery (albeit slowly) and maybe you get a year extra of life out of it before it needs replacing. Those batteries go downhill pretty quickly after about 500 charge cycles and if you play all day every day like i used to back in my youth you could easily do that in a year.

Update on my brother: He's home now, tired and hungry, obviously, but other than that, seems to be doing fine.+2 -

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
