@zBeeblebrox, seeing as how hundshamer is holding over $200 of product without even having the decency to reply to me in almost two weeks, constantly delaying the delivery of a claimed finished product, for over two months now I had to initiate contact after stating he would give regular updates, I think it's fair for me to have my concerns at this point. I don't this it's whining nor stupid to have such concern.

I had some big long thing typed up but 420char limit. Anyways I think he should stop taking orders, and focus on more general updates such as a weekly post about amount finished/what's holding him up. The avoidance of response may be his way to try and avoid conflict; all I can do is speculate.

Actually someone on rangerboards does that at the beginning of every year, in January, he takes orders for 10 dragon ranger gold armor for the green ranger, he may do it for the white ranger aswell but anyway he does those orders and that's it for the whole year till the next January, from what I remember in his topic, it takes him 6 months to finish just one of them.

I do agree this is unprofessional, I was informed that my consoles were completed and ready to be shipped, but three weeks following, still no update aside from stating that they will be shipped today. I'm definitely insisting on a refund
Chris Randall
@breakingspell I am with you, I asked for a refund and that was the first time he stated that it was done which is suspicious that as soon as I request a refund he has an excuse that its not possible because its finished, but it wasn't finished for two months before hand.
Chris Randall
I am even willing to take a loss on shipping for him to return my 3DS back unmodified. If that's not possible I want the next person's unmodified New 3DS XL and they can have mine already finished ready to go.
Chris Randall
@Elucidate This is me "eludicating" you on how to go beyond the 420 character limit (multiple posts)

He's doing hardmod's by himself, not running a full fledged modding business with 10 active employees, cut the man a break, things take time, if it were easy, you would've done it yourself.
DHall243
If anyone has been unprofessional about anything its yourself, mine has been gone for the same amount of time but I don't stay down his throat, the man give his two week notice, Two weeks ago yesterday, last Wednesday he posted that he had family matters.
DHall243
People have lives outside of doing this stuff, its not their full time job. Maybe you should try to find another hobby instead of bricking your 3DS and the crying because you can't sit behind the screen.
StrangeGhost
Yes dhall,but when you're told that you would get your game back within a specific amount of time,and that was several months ago,would you hold it against someone if they were frustrated about it?
DHall243
I was told i would get mine back within a month, two months ago, so no it doesn't bother me, because I know how this stuff works.
DHall243
Lets say this, about 4 Years ago I ordered a complete engine from a company, $6500 is what i paid, this was around the time all the big companies were prepping their cars from the next season, and the company who i bought the engine from was Modular Mustang Racing which is one of the biggest companies in the world for Mod motors.
DHall243
My month and a half engine build was turned into a 6 month build because the market got flooded with orders. So now, the 9.2 Downgrade is available, and everyone and their brother is downgrading because "CIAs" bruh, then everyone bricks their stuff and theres only what 3 guys in the states that do hardmods.
Yami Anubis ZX
Technically I didn't brick from downgrading, I had A9LH already installed and had trouble working the button prompts for payloads, so I used Stage 2 of Safe A9LH Installer and it was successful but when I turned it on, it was bricked. I was overconfident, thinking that mine was unbrickable due to A9LH being installed. I also know that Hundshamer is behind due to issues and understand, so I don't mind.

If it tells you anything, hundshamer is in our Skype chat with several of the top 3DS devs. He hasn't popped in very much. He has serious IRL issues going on right now. But he's good for his word. I've had one unit done by him and am getting a second. It's actually out right now.
DeathChaos
I don't think anyone is doubting his word, they're complaining about the lack of replies and transparency.
breakingspell
My biggest gripe is that I sent him two consoles, one was my coworker's kid's, and another was my old 3DS XL. I paid hundshamer extra to have the kid's shipped back within a week, as I only wanted a one-time restore, not a full-on mod, while my console could take as long as it needs for the full mod, as I already have a N3DS.
breakingspell
A week has turned into a month and a half, my coworker is despondent, his kid is heartbroken, and i'm in the unfortunate position of telling my coworker /every day/ that I haven't heard back from this guy.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

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.+1 -

SylverReZ:
@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.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@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 -

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."+1

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

I don't really get you whining about something this stupid.
