So I recently modded my 3DS. I accidentally left Checkpoint running overnight (about 9 hours), and when I tried to close it, my system froze. I held down the power button until it turned off, but when I tried to turn it back on, it gave me that. I can't open the back because the screws are rusted and stripped and none of the tips I've tried have worked. I can boot into Luma and GM9, but nothing else. This is my childhood 3DS and I really want to save it.

Have you already tried booting without the micro SD card or holding the Select button while booting?
I have held down select and booted into Luma, I just don't know what to do from there. I have Luma version 12.0.1. I can't boot without the micro SD card because I can't get the back off.

Thankfully, this is not a brick! Hold Select and boot into Luma configuration, and then switch Hbmenu autoboot to off, and you should be good!

    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.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @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.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

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