    The DSi is actually fairly affordable and easily the most useful (pre 3DS) since it can be hacked with just an SD card and 10 minutes of your time. I bought mine for 30 bucks and got an extended battery plus a usb charging cable for another 5. It holds up well for what it is.

      Hey, maybe you have some insight. I have a 3rd hand ds 3d (got it from a neighbor who got it from someone else and so on…) that is “locked”? Do you know how to completely reset it to a factory state? My charger is packed in a box somewhere unfortunately so I can’t tell you the exact issue, but basically I want to have a “new” install and make our own account on it since we can’t currently

          Thank you very much! I’ll give that a try when I can get it charged up

        You can factory reset it by following this guide if you can still enter the settings menu. If you mean locked as in bricked then things are a bit more complicated. If you want to put custom firmware on it to run pirated games and/or emulate games for other systems then this guide is of great help.

          It isn’t bricked. I was able to see some videos and pictures the old owners took with it and some things like that. It’s been quite a while since I tried messing with it so I don’t remember the specifics
