I been doing homebrew since the gc, not a pirate just beenn living that nintendo life since 5. So i got all original hardware from the begining. I signed up here bc after homebrewing my 3dsxl with superskaterhaks, and both my kids with seedminer it was time to move on to my wifes. Only prob is no L or R button. I took it apart thinking its dirty, a little alcohol and all will be well. Nope, Zl and Zr are still on the board but L and R are not present on the board at all. So for now thats the only one in the house w/o cfw. If i knew how to post pics i would. I dont even think i can bc imma a noob here. It let me post pics so now is there any way to install cfw with these buttons missing like not on the board at all. I pulled apart an old broke dsi bc the L&R are independent from the board, the prob is theres no jack on the n2dsxl for those ribons to plug into.
Hello @Batoesie and welcome to GBATemp!
As for your problem, if it's missing the L/R buttons (or if they're not working?) order a replacement online and replace them.
Dont know how to, nor do i have the gear to micro solder. There isnt a homebrew techniq that dosnt involve L&R? Once i homebrew and get cfw i can remap the ZL&ZR to L&R. Its a real catch 22. Its like this unit shipped without those 2 buttons soldered onto the motherboard.
Dont have the skills to micro solder nor the equipment. THx for the reply. I believe it shipped like this. Bc the buttons didnt fall out when i cracked it open and theres no tin where the buttons are supposed to be. It never got brought to my attention bc the lz,lr buttons worked.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that you will be able to install custom firmware on your wife's Nintendo 2DS XL if the L and R buttons are not present on the board and there is no jack for the ribbons to plug into.
Custom firmware installation typically involves using the L and R buttons to enter a recovery mode, which is necessary to perform the installation. Without these buttons, it may not be possible to enter the recovery mode and complete the installation process.

@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 -

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."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
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.

@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:
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
