Somehow there was a burned graphical sprite on my screen even though the 3ds was closed.

    I was playing this game for a bit, I closed my 3ds to come back later for like 5 hours (I implemented a sleep patch in the game) I came back to continue playing and when I exited the game to go to my home screen, the map was burned on my screen. It was temporarily and it took like 10 minutes to fade off.

    This is an injection gba game and I have many more on my 3ds. Do gba games that were injected actually do this?

    My working theory for why this happened is that when I bought this 3ds, it was originally a top ips, bottom tn screens and I switched the bottom one to an ips screen from another 3ds that I bought. I say this because I heard that after putting the screens you have to replace some files in the 3ds in order for the screens to be calibrated otherwise you’ll get graphical issues. Should I just risk it and replace the files?

    1. I’m not an expert on screens. I do know that gba games do not support sleep mode however, and I believe the screen stays on while closed. So if your battery was fully charged or console was plugged in, it could’ve been running long enough to “burn” in on the screen. However I don’t understand screen burn in enough to say this is 100% the case, just a thought. If it went away, it wasn’t true burn in and should be fine, however the whole situation is odd. Good luck op, you might have a gremlin on your hands
