Hey everyone, I've recently opened up my DSTwo because there were some slight issues the contacts. But after carefully putting it back together I've noticed it's now extremely difficult to remove from the 3DS (I have to wiggle it out of the card slot and pull with excessive force) but removing it from my DSi or DS Lite is fine. I've posted a quick video below

Is there something wrong with the DSTwo or how I put it back together? Is there a solution? Both 3DS and DS retail cartridges eject just fine on the 3DS, so i'm not sure what's going on :/

It's a tad bulkier than ds cartridges, just wiggle it out. By the way did you fix your contact issues? Mine doesn't work on my 3ds.

Trust me on this, it ought to help a little bit - loosen he two screws of the PowerPak+ that are closest to the cartridge slot (the two near the center). Not gonna solve it by any means but it should help a little.

Other than that... my DSTWO has been thick in the slot since day one. I've kind of just dealt with it. :/

Also the 3DS slots tend to put more pressure on the DSTWO than the older systems do.

Wow... that worked! I would've never guessed it was my PowerPak+ the entire time! Thank you :)

    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".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    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
