I have got around 10-15 PS3 from Goodwill , most work, all "tested " ones have worked. Have got 2 cecha01s

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

these kids parents are gonna hate them when they end up wanting their 3ds but their parents sold/gave it to goodwill

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.

I usually have 3d off but sometimes I just wonder what something would look like in 3d so I like having the option

Imagine selling your childhood or donating it to Goodwill. Crazy.

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

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!

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

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

Love the 3D effect for most games. bums me out most people turn it off

The one with broken port can be charged with cradle. It uses two metal pieces on the back instead of port.

The new 3ds xl probably has cfw on it. Try removing the sd card and try to turn it on, that could possibly solve the issue

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.

Keep up the good work man see you on the next one

The new 3ds at 8:05, my guess would be that you would have to replace the screens, the screens could have been wiped with water and the water could have damaged the screens

I'm really enjoying these videos man, keep up the good work!. I'm really enjoying these videos man, keep up the good work!.

The way Animal Crossing New Leaf was the most played game from 2015 - 2020 on my 3DS XL like I used to play it for hours. I wish I could see the stats for my old 3DS but I dropped that one too many times and then after the final time, a specific part that is responsible for the console to turn went missing and it‘s the fact that it still has some charge which means if it would be prepared I could use it again

This video came to mind today. I just bought 2 "broken" nintendo ds systems from goodwill. 1 works fine. The other needs a charger before testing.

For the 3DS that wouldn’t turn on (haven’t ontinued watching so idk if you fixed), I personally just turned it off and on over and over and it fixed. It seems to be called the “blue light black screen of death”

You should check if any of the 3ds are in the ambassador program (3ds' bought before the price cut) those are worth a lot more than normal ones

Almost got a complete 3DS Pokémon game collection from this. How lucky depending on how much you spent on this lot.

Every video is even better with the cursed image in the back. Love your videos!

most likely that new 3ds with the dead screens was bricked while doing something with homebrew because as you said you tried a few things and nothing worked. so most likely, if it's not hardware it's software

These consoles go for so much money at resellers… Especially the year of luigi edition. And those DS pokemon games are worth a lot too. Goodwill you say??? Wow.

I prefer 3D 100% of the time. The extra layer of immersion is always appreciated.

2:55 i still have one of those cases from back in the days of ds. the whole back part is filled with 2-3 games in each pocket😂

The 3ds XL has the BSoD (black screen of death) the DS XL must of been really badly taken care of, that’s sad 13:49

You have the best vids bro so creative

I love the 3D feature for some games like Ocarina of Time 🙂

i love just seeing thes older consoles

I'm sure the New 3DS XL has been fixed or sold by this point, but I bought a regular New 3DS with the same issue and wound up having to put a new motherboard in. Not sure what was bad on the old one, but I accidentally damaged a SMALL cable socket during reassembly, so I just replaced the board. Worked good as new after that

Fun fact: the way that the 3ds does 3d is by showing a different image to each eye. I forgot what the word was but it also means you can cancel out the 3d effect by closing one eye.

The backdated 3DS are probably so they could get more coins. You could only get 10 coins per day, and it was a coin per one thousand steps. But if you changed the date, you could get as many coins as you wanted. I used to backdate/future date my 3DS when I knew I'd be walking alot so I could get more coins. I think I future dated more often than back date cause if I did games/photos it would show I played when I actually didn't. But future dating I'd probably play on that date or still have the 3DS. Which to this day I still have my 3DS even past the dates I'd go to. (Which would just be forwarding the year of whatever day I was out on.)

I actually have the silver luigi 30th anniversary 3ds xl and im 2018 it broke bc the inside of the charging port just came off. I was only able to fix it by taking it apart and recharging the battery itself. It's my dream to get it professionally fixed so it's nice to see it here.

God, my 3ds was everything to me when i was younger, this feels like looking into your younger self's past.

so I have no knowledge of those 3DS games, but lego chima franchise was such a nostalgia hit on me.

*Nice* video!

Lucky. Ive never seen any consoles at Goodwill here

Thought I would just say that the 2DS is still part of the overall 3DS family, it showing up here isn't unusual

Another theory of the time being off is because of the time bomb on the r4 cards you can set your date back and keep playing it without reflashing a different firmware You can also go to ranking in the activity log screen to see

if you plan on doing many more ds videos it might be worth looking into one of those 3ds charging docks so you can charge systems up to test even if their charging port is bricked

i will never forget the fact that u called swapnote “swap doodle”

6:11 seeing him say this hurt me on the inside given that I have 500 hours of play time on yokai watch 2

Very confusing thing happened to me, I have a 2DS XL , a blue one like the one you have in this video. I hadn’t touched it or turned it on in over a year and a half. I went to boot it up and it was dead so I left it on the charger for about an hour and tried again, and both screens like the issue you had on the 3DS wasn’t turning on. The power light indicated it was on and charged, and the backlight even appeared to be on but it was just black. I figured since I had home brewed it, and hadn’t touched it in a while it somehow broke. Fast forward like 3-4 months and I tried turning it on again for the hell of it….and it now works flawlessly. I have no idea what the issue was but hey it’s back to life 😂

same thing happened to me the other day, i shut my n3ds for a few hours, opened it back up and both of the screens were dead, at first it wasnt making noise but i hit the home button and it then made the home menu sound, force turning it off and turning it on again seemed to miraculously fix it, seems like maybe homebrew consoles have a chance to just not have their screens work or smth

Wow 11 consoles... Goodwill has infinite consoles

Awesome video by my friend

With the new 3ds xl that was showing a black screen, that was a BSoD (Black Screen of Death), just so you know :)

Every pokemon game can be sold for 2x ds (either 2Ds or 3Ds). All that should be like a 1000usd or more. I would say it's a huge jackpot.

Have you tried holding Select while starting these? Could open Luma Menu if some of the 3DSs has custom Firmware installed!

Just so you know, my 3ds I've had it since Christmas of 2017. But I formatted it just recently so if I make a video on it there won't be much data on it

It's crazy how low people's steps are. Mine is well over 220,000 on my n3dsxl. Unfortunately, my o3ds broke so I can't see my steps from 2013-2015.

I’m now the proud owner of a baby mario stylus because of this video

Man clamshells need to come back

Had a similar issue with the black screen. Cant remember exactly which cable it was but one of the connectors just had to be removed and reseated. Sounds like a strange fix but it actually did the trick for me on a New 3DS XL

The black screen thing happened to my 3ds but I fixed it where I forgot what buttons but you hold some buttons down until the screen turns on and if that does not work you can try charging it at the same time it worked for me.

4:08 was it only me that realised there was a couple games hidden in the back off that case u missed out

man. i wanna just buy a bunch of used video game consoles now, and see if they work. xD

Interesting video & I wish that I would get just as lucky whenever I go to a GoodWill or any Thrift Store.

My Goodwill could never touch the one you went to💀

Show us prof you bought it from goodwill. Goodwill everytime easy find

My eyes somehow have adjusted to the 3D after only a month and I’ve played my console just twice before they adjusted

For that black ds case that had Pokémon Moon in it, I have the blue version of it, heh

Dang ur lucky, my local goodwills and other thrift stores don’t sell any consoles and when they do they know the price and sell them for the same price I could buy a almost brand new one on eBay

My 3DSs do work with DS games but sometimes, they don't appear right away so it times some messing around to get them to read when that happens. My New 3DS XL especially ends up doing this which is such a pain. For a while, it just flat out wouldn't read DS games so I played them in either my DS Lite or my 3DS but out of nowhere, it started reading them again. It's weird. It's weird, the 2DS XL that's set to 2011, my mom has the exact same one & it was set to around 2012 for some reason. I started up a save of SoulSilver on my DS Lite & was SRing for a shiny starter but the screen got damaged or something, I don't know what happened but sometimes when I reset, everything was blank & it was frequent enough to where I couldn't do much in the way of reset hunts on my DS Lite anymore so I switched to using my New 3DS XL because my 3DS is not SR friendly, especially for DS games because hitting the buttons with the way they are is frustrating but my New 3DS XL stopped reading DS games so I stopped the hunt for a while but my mom ended up letting me barrow her 2DS XL & I continued the hunt. Funny thing is, I started that file in like 2017 but since hers was set to 2012, when I got my shiny Chikorita using her console, the date of receiving it is that year even though it's incorrect. Given the file was started after that, looks like Celebi decided to mess with my file. When it was mentioned that the New 3DS XL is valuable, I ended up having a mild panic attack because I realized mine wasn't perched where I normally keep it on my desk but I remember that I brought it with me on a trip last month where I flew to Arizona so I was scared I might of left it in Arizona. One time YEARS ago, I went on a trip to California & I brought my Spongebob Squarepants CD player with me to listen to CDs on the flight but I ended up leaving it behind on accident so I was terrified I might of done that with my New 3DS XL so I ended up frantically looking for it during this video. As it turns out, I put it in a different bag because of having to take it out to put in a bin when scanning the stuff with TSA so it's safe & sound. I do a lot of shiny hunting in Pokemon & I like playing multiple systems at the same time, plus my save file of Crystal VC is on that system so I would of been heartbroken to lose it.

Me when seeing that blue 3ds startup: Bravo!!!!

This guy is living my dream

I don't know if it's still possible to do this, but try to see if those consoles have the 3DS ambassador certificate. Not sure you can still get the games since the store shut down though...

Me: no I lost my stylus for my 2ds! 😢 Him: HOW THE FREAK ARE THERE STILL MORE STYLUSES?!?!?
