      Dreamcast slaps. I finally have learned to solder, so I really need to get on fixing mine up since the disk drive finally died.

      I never bought the DS or 3DS when they were out, I stopped at GameBoy Advance SP.

      However, two years ago working a trash job I found a lost Korean-language 3DS that I was unable to trace the owner, so I wiped it, modded it to English, and made it my own.

      Further, I used the 3DS hacks walkthrough to further modify the 3DS and now I’ve got a 128gb MicroSD card with about 100 pirated 3DS games on it.

        If you can, you should just get a GDEMU for your Dreamcast. You won’t have to worry about disk drive failure again.

          Oh yeah, that’s exactly the sort of mod I have been looking into! Maybe even the exact one, it’s been about a year or two since I looked. There’s no reason to replace the optical disk drive at this point, when better, less flaky options exist.

      I want a 3ds so badly but they’re just so expensive these days. I’d love to have one with the IPS screens but it’s nearly impossible to find them because they were so seemingly random.

      Shout out to the 3DS. What an amazing portable! I have so many memories with it, and it was the only gaming device I carried with me EVERYWHERE because of street pass and spot pass. I bought all the bundle games for StreetPass because it was so much fun having iterative improvement with visitors to your 3DS. Integration into other mainline games was pretty great too.

      Not everything took advantage of the 3D aspect, but the games I played creatively innovated with it and provided new perspectives to solving puzzles.

      I freaking love my 3DS. Right now Steam Deck has surpassed it, but man what an era of gaming.

      Note: If you’re nostalgic for StreetPass, look up “Street Pass 2”. Despite Nintendo shuttering all the services, you can still work your way around and get StreetPasses to your console, but you’ll have to homebrew it.

      Other runner ups: SNES (I was a kid that wasted away on that console), Wii, Wii U. I used to throw Wii Guitar Hero parties with friends. Great times.
