I bought 3 DSis unknown condition and at least one of them works, and the previous owner bought games on the DSi Shop. I don’t know if I should reset the system memory or not, if I format and reset everything will the games still be available for redownload in the DSi Shop?

You can still redownload purchased software but I doubt you can if you reformat.

Afaik, Nintendo closed it down.
I believe at the beginning of last year or in 2016, they already closed down the points addition system.

But yeh, if you format a DSi, you won't be able to get anything that's previously downloaded from the DSi shop.

I know the DSi shop is closed, but as I said there’s previously bought software available for redownload. Okay then, I won’t format it

You can actually still go on the dsi eshop. You just can't buy games but you can still download the dsi->3ds transfer app and access account settings to redownload stuff you bought.

  • Halbour @ Halbour:
    never mind, soe=metimes my poor english cant describe myself
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Halbour, I don't get what you mean by this. You know I spend my time on anything other than GBAtemp.
  • Halbour @ Halbour:
    sure!
  • Halbour @ Halbour:
    i didnt complain...
  • Halbour @ Halbour:
    i dont, too...
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Good, just checking.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I wonder if people will start seeing the 3ds as useless and it'll start dropping in price now
  • g174m @ g174m:
    why
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why post?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I'll fight with a post
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    3ds still seems to be an emulation powerhouse with little to counteract it (what are you going to use? A phone... hah). To that end second hand prices are likely to remain for a while
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    That said 3ds has no games so one can hope
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Citra has gotten way more powerful iirc
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Everyone turned off the 3d anyway

  • SAIYAN48 @ SAIYAN48:
    The 3D effect was nice to begin with, but even Nintendo stopped putting it into games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @SAIYAN48, Red text again?
    K3N1 @ K3N1: Okay @Sonic Angel Knight
