Get a 3DS with an R4 card or emulate.

DS can be emulated easily nowadays. Don't bother with scalpers or chinks.

>>16099720

Thanks but I want to keep my DS lite

>>16099736

you can probably find a full replacment online pretty cheap. otherwise buy another battery but this time not chink made

>>16099736

If your issue with playing on the 3DS is the stretched resolution, that can be fixed by holding Start when you launch your game (it'll launch in the original resolution).

>my decade old product with an equally old lithium ion battery has no battery life

>I bought worthless chink garbage and it's still bad

>this surprises me

For fuck's sake, idiot. Go get a dual major electrical engineering and chemical engineering degree so you can design new battery tech for the future. Lithium ion is causing all technological progress to stagnate. Hint: look into fluoride-ion batteries

>>16099781

I just hate the 3DS in every way is all. Shit ergonomics, shit aesthetics, shit battery life, shitty black borders on DS games.

>>16099838

Ok then either buy a used DS Lite that isn't a Chinese bootleg or emulate. If emulation doesn't have enough aesthetic appeal then I suggest time traveling to the past and stocking up on DS's.

>>16099854

>it's by far the best game on the system

you played all the other games?

>>16099859

Yeah. Only ones that even come close are Picross, and Picross 3D.

>>16099838

That you're complaining about 3DS is understandable, but that you consider the Lite better proves how much of a fucking retard you are.

>worst d-pad and buttons in the history of videogames

>shitty glossy surfaces because muh Apple, instant Fingerprint Edition

>looks like some makeup case girls would carry in their purses (not surprising considering how it was marketed)

>shit placement of said shitty d-pad and buttons, highly uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time unless you have tiny hands

Lite must be the shittiest yet most popular system "update" of all time.

Ok OP here are your instructions for the battery's annode and cathode https://archive.fo/CEKnM here is the specific heat table https://archive.fo/yCr8s and here is how to dope the glass with the H3C3 mixture https://archive.fo/Apa5F . I am assuming you already have/know how to make a refinery hot enough to achieve 3,000C and how to make a case with wiring for it and that you don't give a shit about USA patent law.

>>16099949

Thanks. No, seriously.

In 50 years when I'm still playing my DS and the official hardware is extinct I would happily pay some guy thousands to make me a new system.

It's probably the DS, not the battery.

>>16100806

As in? What part would cause it to only make the battery last 2 hours?

>>16099673

Gonna have to lay it honest to you, OP, the DS Lite screen is terrible. Get a 3DS XL/New 2DS XL and play the DS games with native resolution by holding start or select once the game begins to load. The PPI is pretty much identical, plus you get a better display with better backlight, deeper colors, and way less ghosting.

>>16099873

Hold it loose in your hands, the shoulder buttons should line up with the middle knuckle on your pointer finger. Don't attempt to press L or R with the tips of your fingers, do it further down the finger. There, now the DS Lite is the most comfortable handheld of all time.

>>16099673

You could try getting a broken Lite with its battery and use that, plus have some spare parts just incase.

>>16101218

I found the visual quality to be better on my Lite than my 3DS or XL.

>>16099736

Then eat shit, you capitalist whore of a leaching poorfag. Rightists like you deserve the repeated lashings that you surely shall be subjected to in the times to come.

>>16103184

I have tried to hold the piece of shit in every imaginable way and you're full of shit. The only way to not make the incredibly and objectively poorly placed d-pad not unreachable with the tip of your thumb without keeping your thumb at a 90 degree angle at all times, is to balance the whole thing on your fingertips. That gets highly uncomfortable if you play for more than ten minutes. The only way to avoid this problem is by having tiny, ten-year-old hands.

It's a fucking brick, and a glossy brick at that which certainly doesn't help it. There is no way any even remotely sane person can actually think that it's well designed or comfortable. There are no words to express just how utterly awful the DS Lite is.

Gonna hijack this faggot's thread to ask if anyone else has problems with their New 3DS XL's D-pad. Specifically the left function. It becomes unresponsive until you have to work it up a bit. I have barely any technical know-how, and I still have a GameStop wireless PS2 controller in pieces somewhere.

>>16103821

lol, eat shit.

Physical has value to me. I like the look and feel of the DS Lite. I enjoy putting the cartridges in, I enjoy owning it and having it on a shelf.

>>16103217

LMAO

>>16103821

Stay mad porky, I hear the memes are still being waited on in a certain board.

>>16104029

I don't own the handheld you have, but my 2DS XL's buttons worked great, but the control stick was incredibly stiff until I broke it in by using it. The c clit button is also horrible, it's too stiff and has no flex.

>>16103821

This is why everyone hates you /leftypol/.

>>16104250

It's inevitable that an old console or handheld is starting to have problems, you should be happy it's lasted this long.

>>16099736

Waaah my 10 year old electronic device

>>16103821

lmao what

>>16104437

>Waaah

Is this a new meme? I've seen it at least five times today.

>>16104518

I'm pretty sure it's a meme used by redditors whenever they encounter someone they consider "a toxic and entitled customer".

>>16104553

I think you are onto something. I've seen it on /pol/ often and it's a known reddit hangout.

>>16104568

How will /pol/ ever recover from such a sick burn?

>>16104516

>>16104518

I thought it was something like >>16104553

but I wasn't sure. Reported them.

>>16104374

>Marxist

>Materialist

What to expect from the mentally ill?

i'd recommend the 3ds/2ds option.The convenience of emulating nes,snes,&gba with ds backwards compatibility was a selling point for me.

>>16099673

>has a ds which is old and probably still using batteries from last decade

>I then ordered a chinese replacement which will be undoubtedly worse

???

>>16105408

Meanwhile my GBA has probably been on the same battery since 2003, and the battery life is as good as ever.

>>16105415

Honestly pretty understandable, I think the issue is either shit tier battery or that it drains fast due to performance reasons, the gba doesn't require much power I'd assume. But I'm speaking out of my ass.

>>16105419

I've never really had battery issues with any of my Nintendo handhelds. I suppose I ended up getting lucky with those, since most of the other rechargeable batteries I have, including the one to my old HP laptop, are all pretty much fucked. I might have to figure out to rebuild laptop battery cells if I ever get around to unfucking the cooling on that portable furnace.

>>16103821

>be leftist

>hate capitalism despite having enough assets to sneer at "poorfags"

Imagine my shock.

The reason why it only lasts 2 hours is because the backlights are shit, the transistors in the ds cpu's were bigger than student loan debt, and battery technology back 13 years ago was dogshit, my phone battery is lighter and holds 3x the charge (3,300mAh as opposed to 1,000mAh for the ds lite) it's a fucking miracle you get 3 hours out of it. Find a half reputable seller that will sell a 1,200 or 1,500mah battery.

>>16106234

I used to get a good 10+ hours out of it though, I know batteries degrade over hundreds of recharges but I don't understand how hardware inside the DS affects the battery and battery life.

>>16107422

Battery electrolytes dry up. the discharge and recharge process causes a small amount of side reactions between the different battery components and can cause irreversible loss of battery life; An overheated or overcompressed environment compounds those malfunctions. Corrosion within the electronic components and on the circuit board traces can cause voltage/power issues. If diodes, capacitors, voltage sensors, etc start to fall that can cause hardware instability and decrease battery life.

Also, the games released during the early ds lifespan were far less demanding from the components than late generation ds games, which were designed for the DSI and dsixl production lines, which has higher powered processors, more memory and ram, etc. Simply meaning the hardware is going to be worked harder and cause more battery drain as a result. You should also check the brightness levels you have your backlight set to, a low backlight uses a lot less power than the backlight set to full.

>>16103806

But whats the comparison between the 2DS XL and the DSiXL? Input lag and display does any anon know? I'm thinking of buying a DSiXL or a WiiU to play DS games on.

>>16107509

Thanks, that's really interesting.

>>16099673

Nintendo's Official online store is selling DS Lite battery packs, so just buy an official one instead of some Chinese knockoff.

>>16104518

It's literally just mocking someone with the sound of crying. It's not an ebin new meme. People have been doing it for ages.

I am in a similar boat, OP.

My DS lite battery is very weak and the hinge on the console is loose despite replacing the mechanism with a new one.

I ended up just getting a DSi XL.

I actually ended up liking it.

It has good battery life, buttons are good, and the screen size never really bothered me.

If the weight of the XL bothers you, you can just get a regular DSi, but you'll get less battery life.

>>16108215

I live in the UK, Nintendo hates us

>>16108326

Everyone hates the UK m8.

>>16107526

I'd recommend against the WiiU unless you want to play them on a TV screen because it's emulation, not native runtime like Nintendont running GC games on Wii.

I'd still recommend a phat or Lite for DS games, but I suppose if you want to avoid 3DS but still want the bigger screen, access to DSi homebrew or features, or WPA connection for Wiimmfi-compatible games, you could go DSi XL.

For those unaware, Wiimmfii is a 3rd party Nintendo WFC server. It's mostly used for Mario Kart Wii (and to a lesser extent Brawl) but it supports a lot of the popular games fairly well. no Wifi Plaza for gen4 sadly

>>16099864

I really gotta finish Picross 3D. I managed to find save files of all the online/contest puzzles, but nothing of the online/classic puzzles from Picross DS.

>>16099673

Not buy a chinese knock-off

>>16104518

>Waah, he made fun of me. He must be from elsewhere

>>16108326

As they rightfully should

>>16099681

>>16099720

>emulate

How to match the control scheme, though? Games that are touchscreen only can be played decently on a phone and games that are controller only on a PC/controller, but hybrid games like Etrian Odyssey play like garbage on both.

>>16104577

>implying he's wrong

>>16111142

As both are pro-diversity, censorship and general SJW bullshit, wouldn't Nintendo actually like the UK?

>>16130449

>Hm, I might have them.

Thanks for the offer, but I was able to find them on GBATemp's save file repository. They also had the Picross 3D packs, very handy.

>>16099736

You should just buy a brand new one on Ebay or something. 3DS has terrible battery life. DS Lite could get like 20 hours for me when playing GBA games on min brightness. Much more pocketable too.

>>16130449

You know how I know you haven't played it? Xexex sucks complete ass and you're not a special snowflake for having played it.

>>16103821

Fuck off, commie
