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 :)

    @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

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
