... only to have my DSi shut-down on its own (with a full battery) in the middle of the quest.
Now it's doing it without having to come out of sleep mode like it mostly did; merely trying to get the broken L and R button to work by pressing or tapping them harder than the usual ''light press'' gets it to reset. FUN.
I don't remember the last time I've actually punched my controller so infuriated I was while playing, though this time it isn't even about the game; it's about the very console I hold. Which is a first and despite having cared for it all these (what, 2?) years, starts so early already to fail to provide and maintain its basic functionality on the hardware or software level. I dunno, maybe 2 years is 'old' now given my Xbox 360 red-ring'd after a little bit more than a year...
Both screens are busted but why should it matter? It became more of a burden and a gamble to start a game of anything with this piece of filth than enjoyment. For all I care, it would provide better entertainment at being a compact solid punching bag from now on but I digress into ranting...
I mean I WOULD like to casually play on either my gf's or my gf's sister's DS Light, but they also have problem with either both their L and R buttons or just one of them, making a PSZ experience a bit challenging.
I guess I don't need to tell anyone that since either everyone has a DS Light or 3DS by now but the DSi is the worst for any games that (even just remotely) involves L and R buttons... or just anything that insists on having you use the sleep mode. PSZ is just too much for it. Or maybe I've played too much PSZ on it? I know I started having trouble with my R button within 100 hours of USE of the DSi (mostly playing PSZ, since it was the only game I had), surely I mustn't be the only one here who's had issues with the Nintendo hardware... but to have that kick in so early when I'd barely even use the R button back then... eh probably should have just brought it back to the shop, I guess.
On a brighter note: the game cartridge has survived the ''rage quit'' session unscratched. Maybe I'll stumble on some other DS at some point which will allow a PSZ session to be enjoyed without struggle (something like the ''3DS Deo NČ... Light''), but for now my PSZ days are put on an indefinite hiatus.
