Wtf do you mean I have to buy a scaler to properly integer scale 1080p into 4k It should already do that

Turns out the IDAC isn't weak enough. I managed to get it working but the resolution is very low since it only has 9 usable steps. From 0-255 down to 0-8. Anything greater and it's too much for the c-stick so it hits the edge. Thankfully, most games already smooth out the camera so it's not bad.

I added an input reader (sort of). Button data sent out via UART to another microcontroller. In this case it's a Pro Micro acting as a generic USB controller. Still taking controller input at the same time. Here it's running the FRLG Sweet Scent script, so you can see what exactly is being pressed.

They banned me for the fucking controller mod probably because it had "mod" in it.

Neither of them match the DS 😭

The amount of capture card installations I've done are in the triple digits and, unfortunately, this seems true. Unless they also get it with a controller mod. People who get controller mods seem to be more likely to use them.

Screenshot of Twitter posts. OP is selling their 3DS capture card and states they rarely used it. Replier is sarcastically saying, "what a shocker the people who buy 3ds capture cards don't actually use them."

Set up a Sweet Scent bot on Silver and it took over 100 hours before finally finding a shiny and confirming the bot works.

(About automated shiny hunting) Holy shit I found a shiny Skarmory the next encounter after a shiny Spinda. I disconnected the bot because I thought it was a false positive before I saw that it was real. Fastest one before that was 2x shiny Numel 7 encounters from each other.

The guy who scammed me in January is trying to do it again. Not sure if the channel is his or some other guy named Nat*. He messaged me on eBay, got blocked, then messaged me on etsy purchased something and I immediately recognized the address. 🤨 Already got me once. Leave me alone!!

Added WavePhoenix compatibility to Loopy's controller mod, which brings the possibility of internal WavePhoenix mods for the 3DS and DS. For me though I'm just gonna make mini WavePhoenix boards that plug into the 6p header socket.

DSi (XL) capture cards soon.. maybe

Permanently marred wtf man. This colorway (and the NES controller edition) have zero matching replacement shells available. Maybe forgivable if he put the USB-C port over the charge port so only the back housing is altered, but this method alters that plus the middle housing and the battery cover!!!

Shitty USB-C port on a Europe-exclusive Pink 3DS XL.

Bought a kit from 3dscontroller.com and it stopped working. Now I know why

Elysium @lezm.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Instead of improving my own controller mod, I'm updating Loopy's controller mod to work on New 3DS/2DS XLs. Repurposes the IR pin on the controller mod to send data to another mcu (Arduino) and it will control ZL, ZR, and the c-stick. Main benefit is retaining supported for all the controllers.

Bypass Sleep Mode Switch Pin 4 on the controller mod is only for PS1/2 controllers, so I broke the trace and connected the pin to TP126 (hall effect sensor out). Pulling it high allows the 3DS to stay awake even when closed.

USB-C, capture card, and controller modded Ice White 3DS. It also came with Japanese copies of X and Alpha Sapphire.

Making a little shiny hunting bot The 2 chips on the side are essentially an SNES controller. The RP2040-Tiny will input the button sequence. Strictly Sweet Scent hunts since it can't see or hear anything. Plugs directly into controller mod port on 3DS. Will also have a switch to bypass Sleep.

Maybe the games will come down in price after the Bank closure. The games still hold up as they are. Would be nice to actually own HGSS.

There's no reason why TPC can't continue to support transferring Pokémon from older generations with another method. The Wii had My Pokémon Ranch which was a Diamond & Pearl Pokémon Box that required zero special hardware. Just your DS and a Wii.

I put a controller modded + capture card 3DS up for sale for a ridiculous price and someone bought it 😔 it was supposed to serve as an advertisement to the rest of my listings lol

Elysium @lezm.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

It was a success. N2DS XL capture card installations are so much easier now, both Optimize and Loopy. Next revision will be better.

If my starter isn't shiny first try then I reset the universe until it is.

Elysium @lezm.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

That's exactly right!! If Dialga isn't shiny on the first encounter, I buy another copy of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond™©® on a brand new Nintendo®™ Switch ™ OLED™®© like a real shiny hunter.

There was a guy who went by thejjguy7 who would post and show off dev kits and prototypes without explaining and pretending to be dumb and I guess people caught on because that account has been deleted but a new one (TheFrierenFan777) is doing the exact same thing lol

Upgrading my 10 year old laptop (GL552VW-DH71) is my current obsession. Removed the 1 terabyte HDD with two SSDs (240 + 512), 32GB ram (unnecessary but I had them). Next is removing the WiFi card and optical drive and adding a USB host controller so I can run more DS capture cards on it. 😀

Elysium @lezm.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

The top screen pinout of the N2DS XL is the same as the N3DS & N3DS XL but with 4 pins added for the backlight. So I made an interceptor FPC just for the top screen to make installing the capture card easier, faster, and safer. Will find out in 2 weeks if I did it right or if I wasted $200

A lot of early 3DS titles look best on the original 3DS because that's what they were made with. Washed out TN screens. When played on an emulator/capture card viewer/IPS screens, some of them look oversaturated. The reverse also occurs where later games look worse on the OG 3DS.

Elysium @lezm.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

I sold this sometime last year and the buyer contacted me to fix it because it "stopped working." No worries. I'll fix it at no charge bc I'm like that. It broke because they treated it like shit!! They aren't making any more of these 😡 Not my property but still wtf. I'm charging next time
