A bit too much extra hassle involved sending it back when postage, opening a claim on Amazon and all that shiz is involved compared to a quick trip to Gamestop. It looks like all the Sega Ages stuff I'm specifically interested in is available to download from the eShop, and for a non-wallet busting price, so I'm happy to go down the non-bootleg route. Those games are literally the only reason I'm getting the system for, I've honestly got zero interest in most of the first party Nintendo stuff, like the new Super Mario stuff or Mario Kart or Zelda. I've got heaps of that stuff on the R4 cards for my old DSs, I've tried once, planned to go back and play properly and it's just never happened just due to other stuff going on in my life or being too busy with work. Like I say, I probably will give hacking it a try at some point, I'm just not in any rush...

This afternoon, after I got home from work, I thought 'sod it', let's just man-the----fudgesicle----up and follow a custom firmware tutorial. An hour or so later and I now have all the Sega 3D ages games I couldn't play as they weren't available in the UK, along with a load of GBA games I've turned into virtual console CIA games. ---fudgesicle---, yes! 😁

So what do you think of the games in 3D?
MrThunderwing:
Pretty awesome. So here's the thing... I actually got an old model 3DS XL originally as I thought the only difference between it and the 'new' version was some extra buttons and processing power. On the original model I thought the 3D effect was amazing on stuff like Streets of Rage and Shinobi in terms of really giving the games some depth, but with the Superscaler games there seemed to be a sweet spot where it worked just right, but it was super easy to lose it and suddenly I'd be seeing double and it felt like I was going cross eyed (when it did work it was amazing though). Then I found out the 'new' 3DS has eye tracking software that actually makes the 3D work much better, so I just thought 'ehhh, in for a penny in for a pound' seeing as the 3D AGES super-scaler stuff was my main reason for getting it. So I picked one up off of eBay, thinking I'd then just flog the old model - and yeah, wow, the 3D works so much better on the new one, I've not had any issues losing the 3D effect at all and seeing double.
Having the old model as a spare though was what made think 'let's just give just give the custom firmware a try' and if I brick it it doesn't really matter so much. After I did the old model though, once I realised that, although there's a lot of steps, it's actually not that hard, I decided to do the new system too, so I've now got two custom firmware ready machines. I'm thinking of not selling on the old machine now and just filling it up with GBA games (something my old DS couldn't really handle well on it's R4 card).

Wait… wait…. The 3D sega master games are emulated in 3D on the 3DS?
