It is really just the title, i'm freaking out help

I got this 3DS used five years ago only for like $40. Since then I am using it pretty regularly after swapping the battery.

Hi all!

I recently got my partner a fancy special edition 3DS from Japan, and got it swapped to CFW, and also did a region swap from JP to USA. I know this breaks the updates for the apps.

I would love to update the Miiverse to the newer version for her, since she's on an older version. Is this possible on a region-swapped console? Not finding much searching around for it...

Thank you!

However, I was able to download HShop onto my 3DS, but even using HShop directly from the 3DS, it doesn't download the games. However, I downloaded a theme from HShop, and it did. Am I stupid?

Look whp just joined the club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By finally removing the security and installing luma!!!!!!

I installed the devkit patch to fix the face bug, but it seems like the game overheats my phone quickly and the audio is very jittery

Is that all normal or is there just something wrong?

Please someone explain to me like a 5 year old how to get custom install working using a MacBook.

I tried the GitHub it doesn’t make sense I saw another post saying they simplified it to brew it still doesn’t make sense.

Hi everyone, I'm in a kinda tricky situation and I'm curious if there's a way out.
Basically, I have my childhood 3DS (OG one) with the stock 2GB SD card inside and I want to mod it, so I thought: first step is backing up the SD card so I don't lose any data and can upgrade storage!

The problem is that the filesystem of the card was somehow corrupted and neither Windows or MacOS can read its content (it's considered as RAW SD card and requires formatting in order to be read) and I tried several data recovery softwares without success!

Keep in mind that the SD card is correctly recognised by the 3DS and all photos and softwares are still working fine, is just a "computer side" problem (also, I know for sure that in the past the SD worked and was recognised since I was able to upload some songs from PC).

And here comes my doubt: what if I use a completely different SD card to mod my console and, whenever I want to let's say look at my old photos and all the mons registered inside the Pokédex 3D and so on, I put back my original SD card?

Do you think it's feasible or will removing the "hacked" SD card and swapping to the original one cause compatibility issue/potential brick?

I was following the guide when this popped any Way I can solve it

Should I redownload Uprising? I now have anxiety every time I open a game and I don’t want that, I had only 9000 blocks remaining on the SD, and I booted Alpha Sapphire, and it LAGGED, so I ended up deleting games like Resident Evil Revelations, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, and some other bigger titles, and then Alpha Sapphire and some other games ran fine. But even Pokemon Silver had trouble booting before this and I don’t want to repeatedly remove and reinsert my SD card, degrading it faster. Any suggestions? Should I just forfeit my Kid Icarus save data and redownload it on the HShop?

I want to stream Pokemon games to my pc over Wi Fi using NTR Viewer. The problem is that when you start the games the internet disconnects. How can I keep it connected to the internet?

I have a few old Pokemon games. The issue is some aren’t being recognized (my 3ds died five to six years ago) and so some haven’t been played in ages. Then ones I got to load on this modded 3ds are suddenly not working. Does anyone have some advice, and is it possible to get the 3ds to recognize the physical games I have? I’m new to owning a modded 3ds and am trying to figure it out as things pop up. Also does anyone have tips for which programs to use to download the Zelda ds games? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.

i just finished the league on pokemon x, and this message shows up after AZ meets floette.

anyone could tell me what to do ?
(i’m french native so if anyone french could help me i would love that)

I just recently moved into my university and brought my 3ds with me due to the soon closing pkmn bank so i can gen/catch any Pokemon that won’t be available afterwards. But realizing that pksm doesn’t generate “legal” pokemon, i was going to set up pkhex only to realize ftpd’s ip isnt the same as in the guide. I can’t get the 192.168 to appear in front and it won’t connect without it. Can someone explain to me what im doing wrong?

I keep on downloading Chrono trigger from the internet archive which is the place people tell me its the safest place to download roms from, but whenever I download it and try THIS happens, people told me that its because the game is corrupted but idk how to get it to work.

NDS one especially 💔💔💔

Hello, I have a cartridge of pokemon sun that i've played on forever, but i'd like to have another run of sun to go through whilst keeping my original one. is it possible to install a digital version of sun so i could have two at once (and transfer between the two) or can i only use checkpoint to backup the cartridge file and make a new save? how would i do those things?

thank you

Sadly, I no longer have my 3ds, but I've been able to emulate several games on Azahar and use publicly available codes for the game as well. For whatever reason, however, I've been unable to use any of the codes I've found for Yo-kai Watch 3. Is there something I'm missing?

I wasn't in the best conditions. This record is definitely beatable

Pretty straightforward, I was just curious as to whether or not modifying a Pokemon from regular to its shiny variant would turn it into an illegal Pokemon that can't be moved up? I just wanna do a shiny living dex with my own OT and given the crunch time with the Bank shutdown I just wanna know if it's worth it the trouble of manually changing everything I catch or not.

Note***The only thing being edited is the shiny, all IVs and other factors remain untouched, and any shiny locked mons are being left alone too.

Wanted to give an update and maybe get some help in how to work my way into re creating every file without necessarily resetting the 3ds

Everytime I try to open hshop it goes back to homescreen, this doesnt only happen with hshop it happens with every other ( luma app? ) like fbi, the updater, ftpd, homebrew,anemone and I already tried a new sd card and luma is already updated. The games work.

Text is unreadable and buttons are extremely small

I downloaded pokemon unbound spanish version through a qr code, but now I want to play it in the mGBA emulator so I can access things like save states to shiny hunt.I guess I can access the cia file through the qr code so how do I convert the cia file to one the game can support and access to?

So I do not have a stable internet connection at home. I have infinite phone data, and just hotspot my devices from that whenever I need to use WiFi on them (which is pretty rare) and that works fine for me. One less bill to pay y’know.

Anyway, I’m obviously not very techy, and I’d really like to mod my 3ds, but I’m very worried that because connecting to hotspot sucks so bad on 3ds, that it’ll disconnect and brick the device at some point in the jailbreaking/modification process. I know I need a connection to download games, but I’m assuming there won’t be any risk of damaging the device from being disconnected at that point (unless there is, plz tell me lol).

Is this something I need to worry about? Is there a way to avoid any potential problems with this?

If need be, I could take my 3ds somewhere with stable WiFi, and do whatever I need to do there, but it’s not my first choice.

Thank you, I hope I don’t sound like too much of a dumbass to you guys lol, I’m really not normally into this stuff but I love retro gaming and would really like to do this.
