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

126 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.

I love itttt it’s so yellow and cooool, has barely any scratches or anything, the top screen has a bit of LCD retention but it barely noticeable when in game and it disappears after a few minutes of playing so I couldn’t care less about it, she was super sweet to buy it for me (its CIB too!!), i’d keep it even if it broke hahah

The DSi XL came from eBay nearly CIB but without the Mario game I didn’t care for anyways. Now the NN3DSXL came from marketplace and holy crap it’s even nicer. Rarely do I see consoles this nice without boxes. A true gem. Also got the NN3DSXL for less than the DSi, couldn’t go meet the guy fast enough.

Nintendo DS Bag and Nintendo Wii Bag. They Look soo cool, i Love the Style of this console Generation. But it seems that Merch of this console era is pretty rare to find online. I wish i found a Jacket or a Shirt in this Style. You have any Tipps to search?


r/nds • • 14h ago

Started playing Mario Kart DS yesterday for the first time since probably 2006 or so... forgot how much I loved this game, kinda sucks that I already beat it. But its still as fun as ever. The DS was my favorite handheld as a kid, and its still holds up really well to this day.

My small but growing collection

I just picked up the galaxy new 3DS xl for $326 total, would you say thats a good deal? It runs great and has no noticeable scratches or dents etc.

Anyway, I’ve been growing my collection and am looking for recommendations for DS accessories and where to buy them. I’m talking wrist straps, carrying cases, stylus’, and the like. Anything that you feel makes the DS experience better. (Bonus points if its Pokemon themed)

Guitar Hero Grip

Post image
4 Upvotes

Little rant:

I bought the guitar hero on tour set with the grip needed for the game, so even if my ds lite has a acrylic/crystal case I literally spent last night taking it off and on again JUST for guitar hero. Considering ideas like somehow just keeping the top of the case on since it does stick, but that could go wrong in ways I can only imagine- basically only use a case because I want to protect the hinges, so that also would be useless to do.

I took a nice family photo before I take my ds lite case off indefinitely and consider throwing all care out the window and just put the sticker on the console itself. Only issue is the ds has that iconic bump in the middle AND the guitar hero part slips on the back so it'd be counter productive adding something else that could mess with how it slides on. It sucks that I basically put on a new sticker just to accept I can't keep it on regularly anyway, and I have a good cloth pouch that fits everything I'd need for a ds so it'd be safe, I just wish I could keep it in mint condition like how I got it while still being able to play games I never did before without having to learn how to religiously use the strap just to avoid the worse. ^I like being able to alternate between my nds, dsi, 3ds when going out based on what I'd want to do so that is my biggest issue, remembering NOT to take the nds out.

Got this new-old stock from Amazon. It's basically what we see, a plastic stand with an dsi XL pen holder. It's dumb, it's practical and it's actually adorable. (Genuinely surprised it's made in Germany, since today 99% of this stuff is made in China. )

Need someone who can fix my DS lite

2 Upvotes

Hello

I am looking for someone who can fix my DS lite. It has battery problems and the screens have some debris under them.

My brother is in California so he will send the unit for repair. Ideally it would be nice if anyone is from there so its easier for him to send and receive it but I can accept outside California as well as long as its within USA.

Thank you

ExtremeRate Reshell advice

Post image
8 Upvotes

I recently reshelled my childhood NDS Lite with the ExtremeRate Pokédex shell and I broke the bottom screen.

The first is the touch screen doesn't work but more concerning is the white vignette around the screen. I did some research and it's either theres too much pressure on the screen causing the vignette and touch issues OR (and more likely) I screwed up taking the white border off the bottom screen during installation.

I've since bought a replacement bottom screen with digitiser but before I install it do I need to remove the white border on the screen or do I leave it on?

I've read conflicting sides as to whether I should or not, just wanted a sanity check before I potentially bork another screen.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I checked the ribbon cables are secure which they are.

La pantalla de mi Dsi tiene manchas negras

Post image
3 Upvotes

Compré una Dsi y note que mi pantalla tiene unas manchas negras que solo se distinguen en los fondos blancos, pero mínimamente ya que se nota más en la obscuridad, no afecta en lo demás ya que cuando estoy jugando no se nota para nada, no afecta el tacto de la pantalla o algo por el estilo.

Mi pregunta es si esto afectará a largo plazo o solo es por el desgaste de tanto tiempo

Got a DS Lite. Do I need anything else for it?

4 Upvotes

Hi. I got a Silver DS Lite.

Fairly nice condition, the Hinge feels unused and the screens have a few light blemishes that I can only see at certain deliberate angles.

It's got a mismatching Stylus, it's missing the GBA cover and it came with a cheap USB to DS charging cable.

It's probably good to go but I want to know if there's anything I should look into doing/getting before I start poking at it.

Hi, I just bought my first ds console ever from vinted and I wanted to buy some screen protectors for it but I’m wondering if there are already screen protectors applied to it or is this how they came out of the box? Also what’s the best way to remove these if I wanna replace them?
