When there are problems, also solutions.
So, my Nintendo DSi has broken the L and R buttons.
And since I'm not brave enough to risk opening it (and the blowing solution only lasts less than 15 minutes) I decided to turn my DSi into an emulator for GB and GBC.
If you have recommendations for DS and GBA games that do not require the L and R button, I would appreciate it (omitting the obvious pokemon, which we all know does not use)
That's all haha, thanks for reading :)

This doesn't seem physically possible
I found this in a moving box I had lost track of which means the last time I could have possibly turned this on was at least nine years ago. I have no idea where the charger could be. That this even functions is amazing to me.

I knew the DSi LL was big, but I didn't expect it to be that big
Got my DSi LL today and was surprised to see it be that big. The DS Lite looked tiny next to it.

Found a in-tact phatty with an unresponsive corner in the digitizer. Got some new plastic and she’s functional and lookin good
Never owned a fat so I jumped on it for a quick project. I was hoping to find one w the flashable firmware, but I figured any unit with in tact sturdy hinges is worth saving. Digitizer was ordered thru Ali and turned out clean.

Any tips for cleaning?
Hello Reddit, just coming here to ask any tips on cleaning my Pokémon DSI without damaging the printing on it? I know the dirt is hard to see. It’s a thin layer but it’s noticeable in person

Hinge on my DS "Phat" broke today, is there anything I can do to fix it?
I just picked up this DS "phat" about a week ago after growing up with a 3DS XL, and the hinge is already broken. The console still works just fine but the top screen feels extremely flimsy now. I'm considering super-gluing it together because I have the broken pieces, but still, is there any good way to repair it?

Does anyone else have these decals?
Hi, When I first got my DS in 2008, My parents got me this case and it came with decals. Does anyone else have them and know where they were made? I have yet to fund any anywhere

DS/GBA cozy game recommendations pleaseee
Hi All, I’ve just bought a secondhand DS lite because I wanted to play some of my favourite childhood games like Harvest Moon, Bella Sara, Pippa Funnel, Tinkerbell and of course all the pokemon games (ds and GBA), but I wanted some new recommendations that I would enjoy as an adult now in 2026! Not too childish but cozy/fun with lots to do! Can you recommend some games that I need to pick up for my ds lite? Gameboy advance games can also be suggested! Thanks so much everyone 🥰

Should I get a 3DS or DSi/Dslite
I'm so conflicted on which one to buy, 3ds can play all of the DS library, but the problem is that the 3ds is so expensive while the DS Lite or DSi is much cheaper.
Also I grew up with the Nintendo DS and nostalgia is hitting me really hard.

Cleanable/how to clean?
Hey everyone! I’m wondering if I can save this cartridge that’s rather dirty and not being recognized by my DS; and if so: how I might go about it. Thanks so much! :)
Other carts are working, so at least it’s not the system!

Will 3DS read DSi flipnote and Music files from the SD Card?
Does the 3DS read the same files for DSi on the same SD card or would I have to use the transfer application?

DSI XL/LL touch screen mis-aligned when playing NDS game
Recently acquired a DSI-LL. Passed all the basic tests touch screen is calibrated and works perfectly in the main menu and checked the flip note drawing pad for dead corners (none found). The one thing I’m running into is when I booted up my Pokemon SoulSilver on the DSI LL the touch screen is grossly miscalibrated. Almost anywhere I touch activates the “Save” button. Looking to crowdsource potential solutions. Thanks geniuses!!!
