Is my game real or fake? find it out at /r/gameverifying/

118 Upvotes

A couple of weeks ago we posted a little announcement that we wanted to start a FAQ for checking out your games legitimacy.

We didn't get any response, and that is okay. We do keep getting reports and angry comments about this topic. So we are now removing and redirecting posts that contain certain keywords to /r/gameverifying/ or use their website.

If your post gets caught by automod by mistake, please message us and we will resolve it as quickly as we can.

We are still looking for a way to set up our own way of checking if your games are fake. If you have clear photographs of real and fake games we very much appreciate it.

Hello everyone, I broke my 3DS and the top screen won’t turn on, but the bottom screen works fine. It might be because of the hinge is broken. Is it possible to repair this issue? :)

I recently found a seller with a DS Lite selling it for 45€. He says it comes with an R4 card (seen in the image). I am a little skeptical because it looks like a Pokémon game. Is it a cheap Chinese copy? Should I have any concerns about that?

DSi Repair Help

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

My DSi was dropped in water well over a decade ago, but I’ve been attempting to repair it. The console has no issues with coming on and booting up to the Home Screen. However, if I try to go to any applications I’m met with “An error has occurred. Press and hold the power button to turn the system off. Please see the nintendo dsi operations manual for help troubleshooting.” I’ve replaced the wifi board thinking that may have been the issue, but I’m still getting an error. (I’ve placed the wifi boards side by side for comparison. The old one does appear to have rust on it as well as some on the ARM Processor.) All the connections were checked to make sure they’re sturdy. Can anyone help?

pc download play ds

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there is any app or emulator for DS that can emulate the download play function and transmit it to the DS, like when a DS with Mario uses download play with another DS, only in this case the PC is the host

like that homebrew app on the Wii that does what I said

I don't know how or "why", but the dead pixels on my Nintendo ds Lite repaired themselves. Sorry for the dark quality.

Is this worth it for a "New" 3DS XL?

62 Upvotes

Hello, I found someone selling a really clean mint condition New 3DS XL, and they said they would accept $250 CAD ($173 USD) + a Normal Blue DS Lite w/ 2 Chargers + 2 High School Musical DS Games for it.

Is that a "fair" deal? That's about $240 USD Value.

Here is the photos of the console, it comes with a case and charger.

Are there any good retro game collections on the DS? Just curious such as namco museum or Sonic collection.

Today I opened my 3ds to replace the battery (bought it about a month ago), and when I removed the back panel, I found this brown, slightly sticky residue all over & underneath the back panel. This is the first time it's ever been opened to my knowledge, and the system is fully functional.

Should i buy a gba sp or a ds lite?

2 Upvotes

(For context i just want to play gba games, not gb or gbc) On one hand i know it’s better to play games on their original console but on the other sp’s are easily double the price of ds lite’s and with a ds lite i can then play my ds games on it’s original hardware. But then again i already own a 2ds for ds games. Please help me i’ve been in this dilemma for like 2 weeks now
