While we're on the subject, will the New 3DS XL Capture installation be all internal? Or will it have an extra spacer like the original?
I remember you saying that the old XL would be all internal. Just wondering if that's still the case now having worked a bit with the New 3DS model.
Thanks!

It's fine for prototypes, it gets the job done, but I can't imagine doing it on a large scale. It's difficult, risky and time consuming. I'm surprised he isn't charging even more for it.
Sounds like a long term warranty issue to me.
First, his repair service is paid.
Second, if anything in the N3DS gets damaged internally, I am sure he will refuse to repair or replace.
Damn.. I thought of getting a N3DS from him to play Xenoblade and record.

if its just wires connected to points, i'd have thought that some basic soldering could fix it with the correct iron. which is why it probably won't bother me as long as i learn how to properly dismantle the new system.

The wires aren't the issue. The connectors are fragile and not easy to replace.
I'm sure he'll have some kind of warranty and won't just say "Whoops, it broke. You're screwed!" It's just more headache than I'm willing to deal with.

Sounds like a patchwork job, I'll wait for the quality work from Loopy

Dumb. Just use a PCB with connector similar to your old DS mod if going that route. Direct soldering on that can and will fail. There will probably be so many chargebacks he will go out of business.
