i subscribed to you because of the video from MyMateVince :) that was really good and i like the humor/jokes :)
-
cool restoration, the end result looked awesome, and I hope your channel grows, remember me when your famous bro!
-
Great work bro! I didnt see this in the description, but do you also get the replacement parts from aliexpress?
-
Nice video man! :)
-
Thanks for the video! It helped me so much
-
Can’t wait to begin
-
The shell swap for this seems to be easier compared to the ds lite, being that you don't have to feed the wifi antenna under the card reader lol. Had to replace a charging port not too long ago and re-feeding that wire almost made me lose my mind! Looking around at expanding my collection with a dsi xl, but the yellow ones are Japanese region locked so I think I'm just going to swap internals. Thanks for the vid 👍
-
Watching this now, sorry I missed the Premiere. I was called into work this morning.
-
Dang I need one of these, I'd even pay lol
-
Wow, I found this video on my recommended!
-
Very good
-
can you list the parts you bought? i have a similar issue at 8:52 and need to replace that part
-
0:46 I am currently having this same problem on the same DSi XL, any pressure applied on or near the X and A restarts or shuts down device. I took it apart and made sure everything was properly connected but the problem kept happening. I am wondering what connector you connected to solve this problem. Thanks in advance
-
I am italian too and i have the same dsi xl
-
Ciao! Dove posso trovare delle Shell valide per dai XL? Grazie e bellissimo video!
-
i have the same one
-
If you ever would like to do any more DSi let me know!

I have an issue with a ds lite with a broken hinge. That doesn’t bug me much but the real problem is that the top screen colors are weird. The top screen is mostly yellow and some times it’s blue and turns to yellow. I feel like it’s dependent on the position of the screen
