Odd, I’ve had mine for a while now, I use it often and haven’t had an issue but I suppose user experience varies.

Get the EZ Flash Parallel for DS, can be used with the 3DS. You can mod a 3DS really easily for the newer titles.

No worries, all friendly discussion happening here.

So much for Parents Rights.

Of course, the Ship of Theseus. Except that I haven’t replaced anything. I’ve only added and improved. The FlippyDrive doesn’t stop the disc drive from functioning and doesn’t replace it outright. The Retro Gem doesn’t have to replace the digital/analog out, it can be installed along side them. Both are adding additional functionality while maintaining the device’s original use.

Of course, if the goal is emulation then a PC is a better choice. My goal with this though is to use original hardware, with original discs. Sometimes pushing it to the highest quality it can offer, even with modifications. Playing the games in this case is the second half of the experience.

Haven’t installed it yet, waiting my new non yellowed shell to be delivered. I have an ad card ready to go though. Now I am really considering this addition. Might be a little wait.

And to back this up they registered a domain for their “Operation Dreadnaught” on Feb 2. So it does show some premeditation instead of opportunistic attribution.

I just got my FlippyDrive, once my new shell comes in I’ll consider grabbing this before the install.
