If you are interesting in the little vigger screen and size, one of the few exclusive games, in the better Browser, in the C-Stick (note you can only use the C-Stick in a New 3DS since they aren"t compatible with the Circle Pad Pro), the improved 3D or the new Internet Browser or one Homebrew that works better or is exclusive to it, you may get one.
But if you aren"t really interesting I will keep the Original one, most of the games really aren"t going to even use the new Hardware of the New 3DS to be honest so you may will get one if your console isn"t working well or if you really feel like you are interested in one of that features or in change your console.

1) SDXC - not natively, but you can format the micro SD to FAT32 to let the 3DS read it. I'm using an off brand 128 gb in my o3DS XL and it works well, but has slightly longer loading times. For me, the "sweet spot" between loading times and storage space is a 64 gb card. Lots of room for games and stuff, and less hassle loading the home menu.

2) Personally, I made the switch to the n3DS from the o3DS XL because I hated how bulky the "default" system was here. Seriously, the 3DS XL weighs a metaphorical tonne and you couldn't stuff it into a back pocket. I still don't use the 3D features (unless I'm playing a game like Super Mario 3D Land that requires me to use it.), the built in amiibo features, or the c-stick much (Why didn't the devs for DQ7 make the c-stick rotate the camera?).

Mostly I liked the design of the n3DS versus the extra processing power - and the ability to change faceplates. I'm mostly using it as an emulator/vc inject machine although. (Portable Earthbound? Yes!) Oh, and the Binding of Isaac as a portable? Yes...definitely.

3) Good luck selling your A9LH o3DS for $250. I got that price for an Animal Crossing one and a 64 gb card, charger and the out of print guide.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • 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
