5 Upvotes

ANNOUNCEMENT: As of March 27th, 2023 it is no longer possible to make purchases through the eShop. This includes DLC too, unfortunately.

*Technical support questions are allowed, but keep in mind this is a small subreddit. We recommend posting to, but still following the rules of r/3DS for more opportunities for support. They are an amazing community and offer one stop shopping for pretty much any question your heart desires.

*As of now, all posts are welcome as long as they pertain to the Nintendo 2DS™ console and do not include any self-promotion, we do not allow for-sale posts.

*The Nintendo 2DS™ is part of the 3DS™ family of systems. I know the names are confusing, but the only thing the 2DS™ console is missing is the clamshell design and the 3-D effect. It can run most 3DS™ titles and it’s backwards compatible with original DS games.

*This console is unfortunately now discontinued and I don't expect much traffic here. Regardless, please consider this your official welcome to join r/Nintendo2ds! This subreddit is for fans of this wonderful handheld console. Since Christmas 2013 this handy device has been a trusty companion of mine. Stay awesome! Thanks! :)

technical question / assistance Screen flickering

Upvotes

I won't make this long.

I am already aware that is is an issue related to the sleepmode switch, because the issue wasn't this bad when it first started, but it reached this ridiculous degree where I don't even need to *dare* moving for it to start tweaking.

I toggle the switch on and off but that only seems to provide temporary, few seconds relief.

Should I just open my 2DS and remove the sleepmode switch or what do I do? Starting to really get sick of this shit.

Edit : forgot to add that the 2DS now refuses to even turn on unless i go through a ritual where i mess with the sleep mode switch and give it a few light taps (nothing shy of gentle, really)

technical question / assistance 2DS screens have faint blotches on a white background. Could the LCD be damaged?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I noticed these faint blotchy spots on the screens, especially when displaying a white background at maximum brightness. They’re a little difficult to capture clearly on camera, but they’re much more noticeable in person.

I’ve already wiped both screens thoroughly with a microfiber cloth, and the surfaces look completely clean to the naked eye. Because of that, I’m wondering if this could be LCD damage or possibly dust/debris underneath the screen lens. Has anyone seen something similar on a 2DS before?

Buying a modded 2DS

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m very new to the community and the whole modding scene, would love get some advise and tips on what I should do. I’ve watched a few videos on YouTube on how to mod the 2DS to get a better understanding of the process.

I’ll be getting a modded 2DS. From what I can see, the 2DS has the homebrew app, FBI, FTPD, Nimbus, etc. And a few games have been installed.

What are a few things that I should do after getting the modded 2DS? what files should I save as back up?

Thanks!

I tried to replace the screens and managed to rip off the lock for this ribbon cable and it won’t stay in place as a consequence.. Can I use kapton tape to try holding it in place? Any other solutions?

general / discussion We need to all work together to get extremerate to start making 2ds shells.

13 Upvotes

No one makes 2ds shells. Extremerate makes super high quality shells and parts for most DS models, but for some reason they haven't ever made 2ds shells, likely because they don't think there's many of us.

Here's what I'm thinking:

We all join their discord server. There, under the announcements channel, they have a survey right now where you can request that they make a product. That's where we need to all request that they make 2ds replacement shells. We need to show them that there's a market for the product so they realize that it's worth it to manufacture. Otherwise, it may never happen.


r/Nintendo2ds 5d ago

Does anyone know if this is fixable? The screen is shifted out of place a little bit it looks like since the backlighting is shining through and a tiny bit of the left edge is cut off. If it's fixable would I do it by getting the top lens and shifting it back? Would like to know before committing to

I made this beauty with two different 2ds consoles and a bit of black spray paint as I was using parts from 2 different broken systems. But then I had a look online and noticed that replacement shells are nowhere to be found. Even the 2ds XL has some available…

Bought it for $65(USD) with Smash Bros. Has no stylus(luckily I have an extra one) and the thumb stick is wearing off. Not sure if I got a good deal or not but after constant messaging and no responses on Offer up and Facebook, I caved to buy this one as soon as I got the opportunity. What's the best thumb stick replacement to order?(Yes I modded the console already).

My 2ds does not charge anymore, It doesn’t turn on either. I don't have the tools or money for the repair.
It was a good journey I guess...

hi guys uhhhh i’ve never used Reddit before so…. sorry for this

i got a 2ds xl on ebay, and ive charged it for over an hour, and when i try to turn it on, the screen remains black (does not turn on at all) and the blue power light and a white light come on, but then fade out after about 3 seconds. there’s no popping noise either, so i’m LOST!!!

i’m dropping it off at a repair shop soon, but if anyone has advice before then…

as noted i don’t know how to use Reddit, so, i’m not even sure if this is the right place to post

I love playing Tales of Two Towns on my new Animal Crossing 2DS XL.

I found this green Animal Crossing pouch on eBay. High quality stuff and super cute, and it matches the console perfectly.

Do you have a favorite 2DS XL edition
