19:55 Firmware version 7.1.0-12U On the original 2DS the two screens are actually one screen, so whichever defect caused the colors to be like that could affect both halves of the screen

[@MagnumForce51]

Fun fact the original 2DS uses a single screen and it's just the bezel separating them cosmetically with the bottom screen difference only being the addition of a touch screen layer. (I assume the top/bottom screen graphics are just merged together in some kind of hardware based frame buffer or something) That's why that one 2DS had both screens consistently dim because it's all on one screen. ;)

[@StudioMudprints]

Came to say this, leaving satisfied.

[@traviscunningham7062]

This video made me sad, because its lost memories. the parents probably sold them without asking them which is very sad

[@Fireclaw24]

[@_DoomBringer_]

That happened with my dad

[@_DoomBringer_]

All his stuff got sold or given away

[@Rigbygenic]

I think that the kids grew up and just forgot about and the parents gave them away

[@ButterFromDiscord]

1:40 it’s only for new 3DS because the original isn’t powerful enough and doesn’t have the squishy control stick over the buttons which is used to look around

[@annamaria343-m5q]

the power saving mode on the 3ds series actually darkens the screens a bit, the same also applys to the 2ds. So the 2ds with the dark screen probably has power saving on

[@jrob0021]

It had a washed out screen, I know it’s hard to tell in the video but it’s more than just a dark screen

[@annamaria343-m5q]

@@jrob0021 ohhh, alright then

[@Joel-bt4tt]

The 2DS actually just has one big screen. So that’s why “both” look the same.

[@Maxio_Magic]

and why when one screen breaks both break

[@thomashammond5666]

19:58 That 2DS is running firmware version 7.1.0-12U. It literally shows it on the bottom right corner of the top screen on the main page of System Settings.

[@joaquinpena7009]

the way jacob talks you can tell he has no clue about the 3ds console family if u actually pay attention to what he's saying

[@ghostxplatinum]

I have the black + turquoise New Nintendo 2DS XL and love it so much. Thankfully the console is still in very good condition 🙏🏻

[@TheAceWolfe01]

The New 2DS/3DS was an upgrade. Even later games that didn't require the upgraded hardware could have issues with the previous hardware. Pokémon Sun and Moon would restart the console if you closed the game because they really pushed the 3DS to the limit

[@alanhoover11]

Love these vids. Please don’t stop making these

Got a few more coming up this month 👍

[@sergiojimenez3415]

Those volume sliders have two little micro pins on the slider plastic piece that is supposed to touch the metal slates under the metal shield. If there are micro pins bent up, just bend them down super gently to fix it. IPA can clean the slates/contacts too.

[@Wineoclockbookworm]

This is good to know. My grandson's volume slider isn't adjusting the volume on his 2ds. It's stuck in silence mode even using headphones

[@sergiojimenez3415]

@@Wineoclockbookworm It’s a little different for a muted volume! The only two reasons why the volume wouldn’t increase is the little plastic tab isn’t aligned with the volume slider. There is a small chance that corrosion could’ve developed at the very bottom of the inside of volume control, but that would clear with a drop of isopropyl alcohol and sliding it back and forth. Just be VERY careful opening the 2ds. It’s easy to tear the ribbon cable for the camera and put you out $14 on a new one.

[@SorbetSpaniel]

I bought a used 2ds and one of the audio files was from 2009 and just of the original owner screaming ( unnecessary: the audio was very bass boosted and crispy )

[@leonardoplays5546]

1:41 the reason its only for new 3ds and new 2ds id because minecraft for new 3ds uses more power on the new 3ds/new 2ds cpu and ram which old 3ds and old 2ds cant run as if you run it from cartidge it will show an error message

[@swirlycube9293]

The first 2DS was so similar to mine. System: Red and black 2DS Aspects: No stylus (The reason for this with my 2DS is the clip part to my stylus itself broke off) SD Card inserted My 2DS battery isn’t bad yet and the volume slider works perfectly fine.

[@birdfish86]

I am truly shocked to see that many New 2ds XL's with working top screens! They are always normally smashed.

[@jrob0021]

Same! 2 out of 3 working is pretty solid

[@CooleenBooks]

I bought a 3ds XL second hand. I didn't bother to throughly check the console until I got home. Just some scratches on the case but the only thing that annoyed me was that parental control. Luckily the first KZbin I looked up helped. It was so easy. Apparently it's harder to do that on the switch.

[@orlando-mal4589]

You're an actual menace if you call smash bros "smash brothers"

[@SkylinkMC]

That 2DS has a weird screen on both screens cause the 2DS is actually just one screen :)

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

I stil have my 2ds xl and I homebrewed it and it does have a bit of bashes when I droped it but Im suprised the top screen wasent damaged! I gave my old 3ds xl to my sister and Did system transfer from her top screen broken 3ds xl and the sd card also got tranfered as well as the same card is stil used in my old 3ds from my sisters old 3ds

Lucky!

I once changed 2ds xl top screen man I was so proud when it was done :D

[@FinalBossOfCanada]

The reason Minecraft: Classic Edition is only allowed for the New 3DS is due to it needs the C stick and extra buttons, plus the more powerful cpu to work!

[@NatetheNintendofan]

Yes, my favorite Minecraft minecraft.Classic edition

[@elgigante2001]

Well the good thing is that the OG 2DS is easy to replace, but the top screen in the 2DS XL are a pain to replace. So the sun damaged one should be an easy fix.

[@nathanialdowton9475]

20:00 the flat 2ds actually only have 1 large screen. Both "screens" are the same display panel.

[@SuperConroy99]

Though I am aware that these have likely all been sold by now, my guess as to why the top screen of that last 2DS XL wasn't working was cause the cable for it came loose or something, or those cracks have something to do with it Dunno tbh, I ain't a tech wiz

[@skylaar]

Loving the daily uploads man

[@dasneakypancake7982]

19:56 it says the version on the bottom right corner in settings its on 7.1.0

[@dougggtheoof]

You could have streetpasses for days with all of those 👀

[@Vik1919]

Holy mother of God, you are right.

[@ChildishAndy]

20:12 thats because the screens are connected to the same board unlike the rest of the DS family where its seperate boards

[@epb9000]

I can only imagine someone firing up my 2DS and finding all my random homebrew stuff. :D Granted, I'll probably play the thing until it crumbles into dust.

[@nameswastaken]

The Electric blue 2DS came with MK7, from what I know, some Electric blue 2 2DS systems had NSMB2.

[@4444aa]

Last year I bought a 2DS and the previous owner apparently bought Animal Crossing so it let me download it. Highly recommend checking out the redownloads section of the Eshop to see if any games are there.

[@EacRicky]

Same I recently bought a second hand 3ds xl and the previous owner purchased most mario games and all the 3ds monster hunter games so that was cool

[@fatfingerguy-]

19:53 the firmware version is right under the system settings logo

[@dasneakypancake7982]

6 out of 9 were great one was a bad volume slider another one was washed out and another one was broken

[@lemonlime79]

Is it just me or is the title 3DS so nostalgic

[@Stev417]

the 2ds is definitely more durable, but I would still choose the 3ds. New 3ds xl is the best one, 3ds prices are up there now

[@Vik1919]

Yeah, same. You can put them in your pocket pretty easily, too.

[@dragonbond5609]

dude my 3ds has the same problem as that 2ds with the washed out screen but mine is only the top its so weird

Which website do you go to to find out parental controls for 2ds? I baught a 2ds from a friend and the console has parental controls enabled.

Actually at 20:16 the Nintendo 2ds have one large screen separated by the plastic cover so no two screens on it

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

I did orginaly played minecrafty for the new 3ds and I don't like the gameplay and the reason it says for the new 3ds is because of preformance and since the new 3ds family system like the 2ds xl had a c-stick

[@BecciOnion]

a really simple method you could try is checking for trapped dirt. you can clean it with a qtip dipped in IPA. if that doesnt work use a tweezer to GENTLY lift it up to unstick it. I'm not aware of any other methods that don't involve taking the cover off! Hope this helps...let us know!
