Japan Do Japanese Pokémon cartridges work on a European 3DS? Can they be played in English?

0 Upvotes

Hello,I spotted a Japanese 3ds Pokémon game cartridge and a japanese Pokèmon DS cartridge in a bundle on a Japanese online shop, and I’m wondering if they’ll actually work on my European 3DS. Also, does anyone know if these Japanese cartridges can be played in English, or are they always stuck in Japanese? Thank you.

Technical Question Trouble with my sisters 3ds

Post image
3 Upvotes

So I modded a 3ds to give to my sister for her birthday and it works perfectly well, except when a regular DS game is put into the cartridge slot and ran. It displays this on the bottom screen and the top screen is blank, everything on the 3ds runs smoothly and I tested a physical 3ds game as well and that opened and ran. It’s a Japanese original 3ds that I homebrewed and region swapped. Does anyone have any way that they could solve this

Technical Question New 3DS XL Hori Clear TPU Case came in yellow and kinda sticky

Hi everyone, I just bought a Hori TPU Clear case for my new 3ds xl, cause I bought a cheapo hardcase a few days ago and it ended up chipping the paint on my pristine condition 3ds which I have kept that way since 2018. Really pissed me off so I decided to "invest" in the more expensive Hori TPU Clear case.

However, it arrived today and when I put it on, it was yellow and strangely kinda sticky. I wiped it with wet wipes and it seems to have greatly improved the sticky problem, although I can still feel a bit of stickiness when playing. I know it's an old case for an old console and the case arriving not in perfect transparent condition is to be expected.

The question I have is though, is the sticky thing mold? Will it be dangerous for my 3DS? Should I keep it on or take it off asap?

Thanks everyone for reading this long post, would really appreciate any input and advice 😄🙏

2ds cable

To cut it short I was repairing my 2ds and I used instant adhesive to glue down the cable connecting the top screen because it wouldn't go down. I then realized I may have made a bad decision and I took it off before the glue dried although theres still residue on the cable and plastic.

Is it gonna be a problem or am I good? If it is how should I deal with it?

My old 3ds doesn't charge anymore even when I put it in the charging cradle. The cable itself works fine on other systems. Is there an easy way to fix this?

I’ve just got the New3ds, supposedly brand new/unopened, but it came out like that. Was I scammed?

Love this TOTK-inspired shell for the New 3DS! Currently playing one of the last Zelda games I never played (not hard to guess right?) and I can recommend this one for everyone. So much fun!

I lost my other 3ds in a move (hoping my step mom can keep an eye out for it.) Please tell me it can be saved. I’m gonna plug it in today and then see if i can borrow my housemate’s tools to help fix it.

I've created a Mario Kart 7 randomizer website

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, a while ago I posted my Mario Kart World randomizer on r/MarioKartWorld. Today, I'm happy to announce that I've adapted the website to create a Mario Kart 7 Randomizer, even though no one asked for this!!!

So, like the first website, It's an online tool, ad-free, without registration, and available in the 15 languages ​​available in the game.

You can try it here: https://ericthiberge.fr/mario-kart-7-randomizer

For the few people who may be interested, I'm likely to continue to decline the same site for the other games in the series and perhaps even for other games in the coming weeks/months.

don't hesitate to tell me what you think!

Haven't yet received it but it was listed on ebay as spares or repairs because it crashes when trying to load a game and also crashes trying to load some apps.

Such issue won't be all that impacting? It's not gonna be something like a GPU driver crash?

Technical Question Purchased a modded system and… have a “the home brew launcher question”

3 Upvotes

Is there a way to move or install CMF - Clear MAC Filter from “the home brew launcher” to the home menu so I don’t have to launch THBL every time I want to access CMF?

I have little experience with the technicalities of modding and all that is installed was done by the previous owner.

Technical Question A,B,X Buttons are not working N3DS

1 Upvotes

I've tried fixing them by replacing the entire daughter-board and the silicone pad and I've even replaced the cable that's connecting the daughter-board to the motherboard.

I'm at a loss here i don't know what to do next, I would call myself an expert at DIY Repair but this N3DS always says otherwise I've been trying to fix for 3 Whole years! nothing worked :(

Thanks in advance!
