If you have the pieces, and are careful, sure, you can probably fix that.
Will it hold though? Hard to say.
Broken DSes for harvesting official shells are really cheap if you look around.
Even in this color

Yeah thats about how much i got this one with a dead screen lol, i think these old ds shells are just really brittle now this hinge break seems quite common, i dont use my pokepark one because i dont want to snap it
Yeah i hope china starts making some good quality shells like with the gameboys those are all quite good, no love for ds or psp though
This may be an option for you other than superglue, which will be very difficult if you get it somewhere you don't want given the tiny space. Search for "UV Bonding & Welding Glue" on Amazon, since I can't figure out how to post a direct link on here.
I took it apart and used epoxy to attach the bit that broke off, it's not pretty but feels solid for now
Yeah this seems to just straight up be a hardware fault of these models. The Phat and Lite had the cracking hinges, the DSI had the R and L buttons breaking.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
