    If you haven’t noticed, Goodwill has an unlimited supply of video game consoles 😂
  • another thing you should incorporate in each DS test is holding START or SELECT while powering on the DS. this will either reveal the godmode9 or LUMA menu if the DS happens to be jailbroken on Custom Firmware. Great video, cheers! Edit: this could also be a reason for the random empty folders. Some of my homebrew apps in folders are not there when I launch my DS without the SD card but the folders remain

    Video Idea: Take the Pokemon games you get from these lots and explore the save files!
  • @Nerdtendo6366
    I think my favorite part is all the different cases. Really shows how much variety there was and makes each system feel more personal
  • Bro is singlehandedly saving goodwill from running out of money. Another great video. keep it up, dude!
  • @dexter111344
    I love the 3D effect, but the OG 3DS and XL had to be held in a very specific manner or it wouldn't work right. The improved eye tracking on the New models was a godsend. Still drains the battery very quick, so I only use it sparingly, though.
  • @supremescotty
    Imagine selling your childhood or donating it to Goodwill. Crazy.
  • @revalone3944
    these kids parents are gonna hate them when they end up wanting their 3ds but their parents sold/gave it to goodwill
  • @sebauy
    The little metallic plates on each side of the charging port connects to the 3ds dock and allow it to take a charge, you could try that or just replace the port, its pretty straight forward. Greetings from Uruguay!
  • One thing to note on the charging ports. Invest in a charging cradle since the use the golden contacts beside the ports to charge. Good workaround until you can replace the actual port
  • @Nebula.21_
    Okay so little heads up regarding testing DS games specifically, I've modded a 3ds in the past before and messed up DS mode specifically in a way that caused touch screen inputs to just not work at all specifically on DS games, I've only ever had it happen that one time but it is something I thought I should mention here as something to test
  • @nidienaero
    I'm really enjoying these videos man, keep up the good work!
  • @DvdXploitr
    I would play my 3DS in 2D mostly, but I did at least try the 3D in every game I played just to see how it looked. Some games were better than others
  • @yyouthcanoee
    Love the 3D effect for most games. bums me out most people turn it off
  • I love your content Jacob. Wholesome, fact driven, its dope. a. Ever considered doing a live stream where you teach a fan to repair their own unit? b. Available for questions? I have several.
  • @rikukh5
    The one with broken port can be charged with cradle. It uses two metal pieces on the back instead of port.
  • @Froezone
    2:53 I had that exact case for my dsi!! I never thought i would see that again
  • @ogdanson6464
    I just bought an OG 3ds at my pawnshop for only 60$ along with a wii for 30$ great deals for both of the systems I’m glad was able to buy them definitely worth it 👍
  • @roflBeck
    I remember the 3D effect would cut into the battery life a lot on these things. I had the original 3DS for a while. I now have one of those black and blue 2DSXLs, don't have access to that 3D feature but eh oh well lol.
