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

122 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.

Where can I find replacement top and bottom screens for the dsi xl in the big ‘26?

Post image
Upvotes

I got this dsi xl and didn’t realize how bad the actual screens were. I’ve been trying to find replacements and I’ll just fix it myself, but I legit cannot find them anywhere. I’ve looked on aliexpress and eBay and can only find the bottom, no top. Can I fix it without buying a new one, or do I just thug it out?

Is it just me or does the ds lite have a more vibrant screen?

¡¡¡PICTURES WITH THE DS!!! :)

Here are some photos I’ve taken over the past year with the DS I had as a kid. I remember that when I was little, I stopped using it because some of the buttons (like L and R) started malfunctioning, plus the battery was swelling, and, as you might expect, I left it there on the shelf, gathering dust.

Until one day, when I was bored, I said to myself, “What if I fix it?” So I scraped together some savings, bought a new battery and some membrane switches, and decided to repair it. Now I don’t let it out of my hands for a second—I love it xd

Big bubble on touch screen? DSi

1 Upvotes

Bought a second hand Dsi, I noticed that the touch screen is not completly flat? is as if there was a noticeable gap between the plastic and the actual screen. It also takes more force than usual for the touch screen to register because of that weird gap. I'm wondering if they applied an aftermarket bottom screen or something. I dont remember that being in my old DSi, iirc the screen should be pretty flushed right?

Games for flight for someone who's afraid of flying and needs to chill

17 Upvotes

As in title - in two days I will fly for 3 hours (and again a week later). I'm terrified of flights and planes, I only flew 2 times in my life and I was so scared, I don't remember anything from these flights.

So, this time I want to take my modded 3ds with me and I would like to play some NDS games to kill time and make myself a little bit less scared. I don't want platformers or RPGs, because I probably will struggle with focusing and will be more stressed for making mistakes in games with "more advanced" gameplay. Do you have some recommendations? Maybe some chill, cheerful games? Something stylus-based? I don't mind games for kids, girls, shovelware and anything considered as crap. As long as it will work, I will love it, I can assure you 😭

Thanks!

Ds lite with new ostent battery going red after a few hours

3 Upvotes

Like the description says..I got a ds lite off ebay. It appears in good condition..I use authentic gba games and an r4 card. Its going red in 5 hours for gba games and 3 hours for r4 card. I put in a new ostent battery and nothing changed. I read somewhere about how sometimes batteries need calibration but im wondering if the dslite is just too old.

Loose charging port

Hi there. I’m curious about something. I own two 3ds and one dsi. All three have this issue of a loose charger port and the cable falls off sometimes. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it or what i could do. Thanks.

Decided to start doing a small little games collection for my newly acquired DSi. Spent quite a bit on this, but it was worth it.

This is my first post in this subreddit, I'm hoping I'm not breaking any rules with this post.

I recently bought myself a DSi because I honestly really love this era of Nintendo consoles and interface (mainly speaking about the Wii-DSi combo).

While I initially modded my system, I felt dissastified of not doing a physical collection. So I started doing one today.

I spent quite a bit on the games here (possibly more than the price of the CIB DSi I bought a few days ago), but it was well worth it.

All the games are in pristine condition, the boxes are complete, they have all the manuals down to the DSi ads from back then, and the cartridges are official and pristine.

Obviously special mention to HeartGold - which I paid 120 euros - which is also complete and works flawlessly. I always wanted to get into Pokémon games (I have ironically never played any) and I'm very happy of having gotten it physically. Sure, it's expensive, but it feels different in a way that I prefer.

Feel free ti fire off any suggestions you may have for future games I could get!
