been messing with openagb on my 2ds xl a little bit and it's certainly better than mgba/gbarunner once you're actually in the game. starting/stopping games is a bit clunky, as is initial setup, but using the gba hardware directly is really neat.

The guide for the 3DS Circle Pad Replacement that I followed from the iFixit website was a big help especially when it warned me where I need to pay more attention otherwise I could easily damage parts like the little ribbon cables and more importantly where I can encounter glue. 🙂

The only thing that I wasn't warned about is the little transparent plastic piece underneath the the right hinge that use to diffuse the little red LED's light, that only turns on when the battery is in a very low level of charge. But there's other guides on their website in one of them they advise to pull that plastic piece before it will inadvertently fell off and will be hard to find after it.

📣 If any of you see this toot and planing to disassemble your original 3DS model make sure to pull that little transparent plastic and put it in a small box or in any container before loosing it ‼️ ‼️

The rubber from the circle pad on my 3DS fell off, the robber has some tears on it so it will not stay one even if I put it back. 😭 I tried to use it with like that, but it was too slippery and my finger started to hurt after an hour of play session. 😢 Probably I could just leave to be like that, but I thought since there's replacement ones sold even if those are not original I will be better of with them then the original without its rubber. 😌
