Last Nintendo console I’ll ever buy is a used New Nintendo 3DS XL which I’ve modded with Homebrew and all that and loaded with emulators with tons of ROMs. It’s a fantastic piracy machine that runs NES, SNES, SMS, GEN/SMD, N64, PSX, GB, GBC, GBA, DS, DSi, and 3DS games!

    Damn! I guess the word got out and collectors have taken over!

    If you don’t need to play DS/3DS games, the Chinese systems are very popular. These devices are much cheaper than used Nintendo kit. Some of them are much more powerful, with better screens and battery life. There’s a whole scene dedicated to developing custom OSes with really nice emulator frontends for them!

    I recommend TechDweeb on YouTube if you want to learn more about the scene. If I had to start over again today I’d get a Knulli-based device. I may still get one at some point.
