Hey everyone,

I just swapped my small New Nintendo 3DS's top screen. It was going slightly yellow and I just wanted to test out the IPS screen. Previously had a TN panel, now IPS top.

I was just wondering if there was anyone who has a small New 3DS with top IPS and bottom TN panel who could dump their hwcal0 and hwcal1 .dat files?

Also I noticed that in 3D, although it works fine 80% of the time, sometimes I see a double image. I went to Super Stable 3D and reset the settings as well, did the battery trick @TurdPooCharger mentioned and it's still not fixed, although I've used it maybe for 10 minutes max.

One more thing I noticed is that the screen is a bit darker, not as bright compared to the TN panel. I'm guessing this is due to the different calibration/gamma differences between the screens? I'd appreciate any help in regards to getting the system looking/performing it's best again.


Thank you.

Wow, can you post some pictures? Really curious about how it ended up like.
Side by side compared to my dual TN N3DSXL, the colours seem more vibrant. Definitely notice a difference.

    I am not it the loop on this, why take it so personally, though? Its just a video game and a work of fiction, at the end of the day.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I'm sure the devs don't mind refunding my .torrent for it
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    @Megadriver94, because these devs take child hood movies and make them look like shit expecting to profit off it

    At least we can point and laugh to an indie game that is not worth playing.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Last I read Amazon owns some rights you'd think a billion dollar company could fork more over for a decent game but their last game bricked GPUs so theirs that
    +1
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Be an e-commerce. Build a game that destroy the GPUs. Sell new GPUs. PROFITS!

    Don't forget your 4090 we promise the next LOTR MMO will make it work for more than a year

    If your graphics card doesn't work with your game then don't blame us for shitty game performance.
