Hello. A while ago I bought a second-hand New Nintendo 3ds XL for €100 and I've always had problems with 3D. When I activate 3D, instead of generating the effect correctly, it duplicates the image. I have tried calibrating the 3d and super-stable 3d, but it still does not work correctly. I've also tried other New 3DS XLs and mine is the only one that does this.

After a week of searching for information my only theory is that the previous owner tried to change the top screen, but did not replace the HWCAL files (HWCAL0.dat and HWCAL1.dat), but I honestly have no idea (hopefully I managed to install CFW).

PD: Top screen is TN and the bottom is IPS.

I'm in the same boat, I changed the motherboard (which was upper IPS, lower TN), to a new 3ds XL with both TN screens and im getting the ghosting as well.
I have tried changing the HWCAL files, but no success so far.
Would be interested to know how you solved your one.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Action type stuff for sure the low res, still subjects could get the higher res :) lol

    CCD's back then where sloooowwwww
  • Tofu_mommy @ Tofu_mommy:
    @SylverReZ I haven't seen them around here, to the point where I'm considering ordering some microSD cards in bulk in case they stop being available at all without pricy imports.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I have tins full of them, split between old old old (works on old old old crap) and new and new new lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Tofu_mommy, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255304856137
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Found one of them, when microSD used to be called TransFlash.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Pre 2GB stuff, 4GB to 64GB then 128 and up lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @SylverReZ, TF's a little different

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    TF. SD, MicroSD, Memory stick, Memory Stick Duo, CF, XD, and one or two more I can't remember
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I have readers for them all too lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some of the new readers will not read the old pre 2GB ones
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, Same here. I have one that does *almost* every flash memory (except CF).
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I need some CompactFlash cards. :P
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's a pain, I wonder if there would be a market for a slightly higher end reader that works with EVERY format. For the hobbyist who has too much old rtandom junk lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, It wouldve saved me shit tons of time bringing out an old computer with a reader in the form of a drive bay lol.

    @SylverReZ, I have like 2 CF cards, I think I got them from old old camera's that people where asking me to recover the photo's off of them.... Funny thing about CF and MicroSD and all the "flash" based storage cards. If you don't power them up every so often the data gets corrupted faster than most people would think.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the one case I was able to recover like maybe 50% of the photo's and another 25%ish where somewhat recovered like they where all glitched.... Sad
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have several old microSD cards going down to the 1GB. Half of them haven't been powered in years, they all seem to work fine except for some no-name brands which immediately corrupted data as soon as I plug it in.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The other one was totally fine but the kids had used it to take pictures of turtles and lake and a birthday party, so the photo's the person wanted recovered where way gone.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @SylverReZ, I wonder if part of the data loss here in Florida is the humidity and maybe it causes the cells to lose power faster?
  • Tofu_mommy @ Tofu_mommy:
    Flash memory being stored unplugged and unused will eventually start corrupting data. I've had a memory stick do that to me within less than 10 years or so of storage.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, You can use a free recovery tool like "DMDE" which works on Windows and Linux. At the time when I bought these cards, I tried recovering them with it, managed to recognize every format.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, Could be with how you stored them. Humid conditions can be a cause for the memory to fail.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Tofu_mommy, Damn that sucks.
