    I’ve seen IPS mod for GBA which is considered as old hardware, but the mod is exists

    But i can’t find it for 2DS XL, the 2DS XL is a good console imo, it is just the screen that have pale looking color, IPS mod could be lifesaver for this, but i cant find it anywhere

    Is there a reason for this 2DS XL IPS mod not existing?

    There is nothing that would prevent you from ordering a New 3DS XL IPS screen and trying that out. It would only work if the ribbon pinout matches (very likely).

    Be aware that the N3DS IPS screen is not much better than TN however. All the LCDs in all 2/3DS models are shit.

    No it will not work as the hardware calibration problem can't be user edited

    Sorry, don't have one. It's a little of a gamble to find IPS N3DS XL's so i guess they are also rare as replacement parts.

    And to be clear. I have not tried this before. I recommend you compare N3DS XL and N2DS XL screens via pictures to see if this will work (dimensions). I think it should because it would save Nintendo lots of money reusing the same parts.

      That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

    • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
      @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
    • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
      Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
    • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
      Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
    • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
      @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

    • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
      Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
    • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
      Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
    • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
      @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

      @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
