I went all the way to Nintendo depot, told them my touch screen is messed up. She took a look at it and said
"One of the choices is exchange for a repaired NDSL"
I said "or...?"
"Well that's the only choice you have"

They gave me a NDSL that someone exchanged because of a touch screen problem, it's quite obvious that the unit had touch screen replacement. Lost all my FC but they renewed my waranty, so I get extra 2 months.

I sent my DS in for touchscreen repair, came back cleaned and with a new cover for the top screen as well.

I think they used a used touchscreen, or atleast a different kind though because it's noticeably more tinted/yellow than the top screen. But it works ten times better than the old one.

Nah I thought I was getting a brand new, but it came in a box, which says "this contains serviced product"
The new touch screen is noticably different. It's got different look and feel to it. Feels like extra coated, I'd say halfway between screen protector and naked original touch screen. I haven't noticed any yellow or dark look, maybe my room lights aren't bright enough for me to tell. I'm guessing it's because the extra coat reduced lights passing through or random reflect between coatings .

And by actually going there I got my A/S done in like.. 6 minutes? Just to mention it took me 3 hours going to and coming back from service station though lol.

Serviced products are semi-new because they give you new 1 year warranty for your exchanged unit. It comes with your color, no accessories included (not even a stylus)

But it's funky how touch screen can break in 2 months. If you have like half a day to spare, it's not as bad to visit their service station. Pretty cool place, Vancouver centre had an oversized Link sculpture. But if you live in Midwest, tough luck.. Better be in Cali or New York City.

Don't know whats wrong with you.
I have had my DS serviced twice.
The first time, they replaced the circuit board because it would not power on.
The second they replaced the touch screen and lens.

Nintendo always fixes products purchased withing 1 year for free.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
