    Any place to get genuine Gameboy boxes other than ebay?

    Thanks very much. I was able to grab a well priced a box in reasonable condition here in the UK, yet while still being the US version. I don't know the odds of that, but I am very happy.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    As far as I know it's possible, I read reviews on amazon.de and they claim to have had them. I had one and also a pearl white, which is from the same release period and they were both dual TN.

    Hardware 3rd party screen blur.

    Thanks everyone. There were other problems with the 3DS so I decided to sell it on privately for pretty cheap. I bought a Hyrule 3DS as a replacement and love it.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Almost certainly TN IMO. By the way, I'm convinced that Hyrule 3DS' that start with QW11 are almost exclusively IPS. I've never seen one that isn't and I was so confident I ordered one off of ebay from the US to the UK and it was. Now I don't want to say it's 100% but I'm reasonably confident...

    Hardware 3rd party screen blur.

    Hi folks. I have a 3DS I've had since new. A while back I dropped a mug and it broke my too LCD. I replaced it with a third party screen (TN) and while the colours look pretty decent I have a ton of blur or ghosting. https://streamable.com/ie3t3 It's really noticeable in games like the...

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Sorry for the double post. Out of interest my old N3DSXl was one I cracked the LCD in. I replaced the screen with a third party screen. Can anyone tell me if this is a normal amount of ghosting/blur for a TN screen? Seems pretty extreme to me. https://streamable.com/ie3t3

    I suppose so. I think QW11 is exclusively the Hyrule model.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Thanks for the advice earlier guys. Scored what for me is a pretty much perfect console. Mint condition Hyrule edition 3DS, with dual IPS screens and even a great hinge. I know they say there's no correlation for Serial numbers, but I'm sure QW11 consoles have a higher chance.

    I've never heard of a 2DS with an IPS screen.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    You're absolutely right. The one I'm looking at is an import. With regards to European ones I haven't a clue of what to look for in terms of a pattern in serial numbers, the only thing I've ever seen that has seems to have more chance is the QW11 series in America. It is possible to get a dual...

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Thanks, it's one I'm looking to buy so I can't load it on there unfortunately, but I'm confident enough it's a dual IPS. I know serial numbers aren't meant to mean that much, but it seems the Hyrule ones that start with QW11 have a very high chance of dual IPS.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Sorry to ask for another confirmation, to my mind this is a dual IPS: https://imgur.com/a/glNt7 Any thoughts on that? (these are pics from a seller, so the room isn't as dark as I'd like)

    Thank you. As an aside are dual IPS consoles known to be rarer in the UK? I haven't seen any really. Thanks

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    I think this is an IPS 3DS (at least the top screen, pretty sure the bottom is TN) Can anyone confirm: https://imgur.com/a/XXgCx

    Any place to get genuine Gameboy boxes other than ebay?

    Hi folks, For the longest time I've been unable to find a replacement box for my Pokemon Gold. I have the manual and cart just no box. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place other than ebay that might have something? I tried a repro box but it's just not the same. The only one listed on ebay...

    Hardware Replacing melted capacitors?

    What I've actually done for the time being is my original shell is on an AGS 101 modded console, so it's not in a bad way. And the original screen I put on a new motherboard and a brand new case. I may look into switching the parts, that would ultimately be what I'd like to do but I don't know...

    Hardware Replacing melted capacitors?

    I feared it was dead. Not to worry, the only reason I wanted to salvage it was it was my old gameboy.

    Homebrew Dumped GBA Wii U rom on 3DS issue.

    Hi all, I dumped a copy of Metroid Zero Mission from my Wii U, extracted the gba file and then converted it to CIA file. Installs OK, but when I try to run it I just get a white screen. However I can get it to work if I patch it with info from a normal GBA rom with Floating IPS. Just...
