Re: My DS Top screen is red and i can't find a way to fix it. and i cant fix my R Button.

Does it work when you don't use the CC? A misaligned FCC causes the 3DS to shutoff. I am guessing the DS might do the same thing or similar. It detects something is wrong and shuts off to prevent further damage. It doesn't take much t misalign the FCC. The contacts are tiny. Is the battery charged?

There's a good chance the FCC cables are not in straight. It doesn't take much to misalign the cables. If you take out the CC cables and attach the LCD cable back to the DS board, and if the video is fine, then the either the CC is broken, the CC FCC is broken, or you misaligned the FCC with the FCP...

Re: (WTB) capture OG3DS or New 3DSXL

May not need anymore won offer on capture hardmodded 3ds on ebay for 280. Still looking just in case. Make sure you got a loopy or katsukity capture card and not one of those listed as wireless capture card. Those are modded and not very good, plus you could do it yourself without the massive upcha...

Re: 3ds vs ds capture method

so if the ffc were in a more convenient spot, that would have been just as easy to do as it is on the ds capture card? Are they the same signals on the test points and the ffc or slightly different?

Re: Time Spend Year looking for OG 3DS now

Everyday I see OG 3DS for sale on facebook market place. Sometimes as low as 40$. Usually around 100$. Maybe it is because I am in the bay area.

3ds vs ds capture method

I guess only loopy can answer this. Why did the 3ds capture directly from the test points and the ds captured from the ffc? Was it a technical limitation or just easier/cheaper? Mechanically, capturing from the ffc is a lot easier to install.

Re: [WTB] Anything to record OG physical DS games

I used a nail clipper to cut out the bulk. I find a nail clipper is a lot more delicate than a regular clipper like a wire clipper. But a knife to get the last bits and a file to smooth it down. Easily spent 90% of the time cutting the ds case. 9% filling in the stylus port with filament to reduce d...

Re: USB board issues

Loopy Is the USB port almost the only issue you see reported? I wonder if it is from when people are holding their console and the weight of the cable just tugs it too much? Or just simply unplugging it? If it is the weight of it when using the console, wrapping the cable around the console might he...

Re: NDS audio comes out finicky in recordings.

Make sure you connect to a line in port. Plug it in and listen to the audio on the computer. If it sounds bad when listening to the line in port, then it isn't the way you record it. But if it sounds fine when just listening to it, then your audio recording settings might be wrong.

Re: Are XL units still not compatible?

I have had some luck finding 3ds at thrift shops. I found one in mint condition. Not a single scratch. Came with some credits on it. Got it for $25. Found another one for $30. It had the ambassador games on it. I am pretty sure I have seem some more, but not that many. Also you might have some luck ...
