Right...... Because shit narrow viewing angles, poor 3D viewing, washed out colors and grayish blacks are just Soooo much better :glare:

3d is the same on both. How often are you looking at your 3ds from the side? Colors wash out at angles not dead on. It's all opinion. TN has advantages over ips and vice versa.

Ok thanks for your answer. I'm going to order one on Amazon.de when it's avaliable again. This Edition seems to be really liked because it was sold out at amazon in just a few minutes after it was listed again for delivery on 03.01.2017

Mine from Walmart was dual TN
Ok thanks for your answer. Yesterday a few consoles were avaliable and i managed to order one from Amazon for 215€ which is a good price compared to other sellers prices.
It will be avaliable 03.01.17 and should be delivered on 05.01-07.01
Will report here which Displays are in it.
I also hope there is a 10.x Firmware on it so Homebrew can be easily be done :)

Homebrew can easily be done on 11.0 and with safehax you do not need to downgrade.

I got dual TN on O3DS XL and small N3DS. :/

Thanks for the note i think i have to read about safehax :)

Ok looked at the guide to a9lh and it seems that only for 11.2 is hardmod required, from 9.0.0 to 11.1 you can now do it with the help of soundhax, safehax and waithax. Sounds great :)

You can use Safehax with 11.2 when fasthax comes out later today.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    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."
