I ordered some screen protectors. I hope I can clean out any dust in the scratches and what not on my 3DS XL screen. I'm glad it's not visible unless you're looking for it, so this should prevent any further damage.

I'm very protective of my 3DS XL. When I'm not using it, I use a red pouch from Club Nintendo to keep it in, and there have been no surface scratches on it with regular use from me.

I've got a cosmo black regular 3DS since launch and still don't have any 'scratches.' I get the straight lines on the top screen, corresponding to the edges of the bottom screen, when I don't clean it for a while, but it's just finger grease. Cleans right up, without a trace, every time.

This is exactly what mine had before I traded it fora blue 3DSXL. And that XL has no scratches. Maybe people are just mishandling these things?

If by mishandling things, you mean using a portable gaming device by taking it out and about and playing it, then sure, I've been horribly mishandling my 3DS XL by playing it and keeping it in my pocket when out and about...

In any case, got the screen protectors. I have to say, these are the best screen protectors I've ever used. Didn't get the bottom screen protector as perfect as I did the top screen (one dust particle on the bottom screen, the top screen perfect), but wow... I've never got screen protectors on as well as these ones went on...

Anyway, hope to prevent more permanent damage to the top screen. I REALLY don't want to send my 3DS in for repair... again. Haven't been having the best of luck when it comes to hardware defects in my 3DS... This one is as perfect as I'm going to get I suppose.

Apart from screen protector, i guess a case for extra protection is good too, well at least for me

You could, along with the screen protectors, put a little piece of micro fiber cloth between the screens... It will stop smudge marks on the protectors as well. (I have had protectors on, and got the original 3ds very early. and I have no scratches on the protectors, but they do get greasy smudge marks when being closed... easy to wipe off sure, but a piece of cloth prevents it, AND can be handy to keep the screens crisp for that extra nice feeling when playing ;) )

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
