    Can games which recognize other game's save data work when o3ur of region?

    I found out recently that Picross e9 on 3DS has been released, but only in Japan.

    What voltage/amperage draw comes through a 2DS when charging?

    I'm attempting to repair a 2DS which is fully working, except that it will not charge the battery. I thought it might be the charge port that is broken, but now I am wondering if that is really true. My fear is that some other component, such as a fuse on the charging circuit (typical on the...
