    Hardware New Nintendo 3DS XL questions

    1) I'm fully updated and have no issues using my Supercard DSTwo, nor do I have any issues with it getting in/out of the card slot. 5) There are only 2 limited edition N3DSXL atm. I have the MH4U and honestly, I kind of wish I just got black. If you have access to a regular N3DS I'd get that...

    Hardware New 3DS or New 3DS XL?

    Don't forget that the pixel density is higher on the regular sized N3DS making things look crisper. If you plan on playing any old school DS games, the larger screen stretches out the images so much that I personally find a lot of older games unplayable.

    Hardware NEW US 3DS via Hardware Mod

    Reggie just teased releasing the Regular N3DS. Is this worth doing anymore? http://kotaku.com/nintendo-america-boss-teases-release-of-smaller-new-3ds-1713073614# Also, I have some progress. The stencil used for the processor costs $150 + shipping to make.

    Okay, I have progress! I got a phone repair/specialty store that said they'd be able to do it, but I need to provide the stencil used on the processor. Does anyone have any pointers on how I can obtain one online?

    2/2 nearby specialty electronic repair stores said no. I emailed 5 that were further away and 1 also responded no. Waiting on responses for the other 4 places, but it's looking grim. I think I'm going to have to commission an individual, but I have no idea how to go about finding a trustworthy...

    Tomorrow I'm going to a couple of tech shops to ask if they can do this. Aside from showing them that post and going "HEY GUYZ CAN U DO THIS PLS", what exactly should I be asking?

    Yeah thanks for the feedback. I assume there's no realistic way to reconnect everything?

    Hardware New 3DS XL shoulder button replacement?

    If this is anything like DIY 3DS maintenance, you'll have to wait for people to start scrapping N3DSes and selling the parts on ebay-- which isn't really happening yet. Best chances are with trying to get Nintendo to repair it. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is using the same type...

    Do you happen to know the dimensions of either motherboard? I'm unable to find measurements

    Well for the cut areas, you'd need to some how solder back any lost connections. But those areas seem to be the easiest places to alter. I have no experience with this kind of stuff. I'm just tossing around ideas :)

    If that's the case, then I believe these cuts should be enough to squeeze the N3DSXL motherboard into the N3DS housing. 1) The shaded in green area represents the part that would be cut out. 2) The area denoted by the [Purple Box A] would need to overlap the area denoted by the [Purple...

    Does anyone happen to know if these copper dots (labeled 1-4) are important at all? Or could they be cut out? Clearer Pictures: Top: https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/IKlW6WTZKKmapYkt.medium Bottom: https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/OMYYisieWXRA2dBL.medium
