DSi XL clear shell mod?
I've seen a lot of shell replacements for the DS Lite and even the DSi on YouTube lately, and I really love the transparent look. I've been thinking about getting an old DSi XL off of Ebay to modify myself for cheap, but I haven't found any transparent custom shells for the XL available anywhere. Does anyone know more?
Any suggestions/recommendations for a repair service?
I've broken the screen on my modded 2ds XL, but my local repair store refuses to work on 3ds products. I've already tried to do the repair myself before on another, and it ended poorly. I would rather not break it further. Is there any service in the continental U.S. where I could possibly have the top screen replaced? Thank you for you time.
Local play games vs or together?
Hey,
I have my own 2DS modded/hacked for a long time, I mostly only play CTGP 7 on my own/online. But that is just a result of neglect over time.
I just followed the guide to hack my nephews 3DS and so far only have CTGP 7 on it too, (I literally did it tonight) and looking for any games where we could play as part of a team, or against each other using mods or any multiplayer that is still available. I have to get him a larger SD card, as he only has 2GB card.
Are there many/any other games that we could still play locally? Or together online?

I've got a few DS styluses that I'm going to sell for cheap on eBay. I know some are for the DS Lite (I think the purple one is). Which DS variant is the Blue one for?
3DS games lack style
On the DS and dsi the art style varied between game to game and had a lot to offer. 3ds tho, it's all chibi. It's so annoying.
Do you use a stylus, or just a finger?
I find it curious that I've never seen a video of someone controlling their DS/3DS touchscreen with just a finger.
I've used touchscreens on mobile devices even before the DS was out, and I almost never use the stylus, just my fingernail.
Recently I've been on a binge of trying out DS shooters that control the aiming via touchscreen, and just using my thumb I can hold the handheld like a normal console controller, with aiming similar to having a right thumbstick. Can't imagine fiddling with a stylus to aim, ew.
And no I don't have long fingernails, just completely normal human ones. I'm also not worried about damaging the screen - if anything, fingernails are softer than hard plastic.
Am I really the only one?
Made a poll in the comments, please vote by upvoting, I'm curious.
Any short but charming DS/3DS games you would recommend on playing?
I recently picked up a 3DS LL and i've already been playing some games on it and i'm having a blast so far, I'm just wondering if anyone could recommend me some short but charming games since those types of games are the ones i usually find myself enjoying the most.
