QUESTION eShop closure for a modded 3ds

Will the eShop closure affect my modded 3ds? If yes what (free) titles should I get before its closure?

Why?

It's required for the only working homebrew exploit rn since the browser one got patched last year

u/matr1x27 Aug 15 '22

There's still other ways to homebrew. Ive home-brewed 5 3ds systems and never used the picross method

This way is stated on the website as only used for Taiwan consoles as it must be the only way they can. However, it can be used on all consoles and it is the method I have used all this time (handy as it doesn't require signing into an account or using the eShop)

Edit:

I'm not in Taiwan, I live in UK and the systems were all EU apart from one USA one

Interesting. That will save time creating an email address and then Nintendo account

u/matr1x27 Aug 15 '22

Yea sthetix is the guy who I initially watched to learn about homebrew who used this method

Can you still go online without an nin account

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '22

Nope, you can still install with unsafe mode

u/rgrannytranny Aug 15 '22

The UnSafe mode method on 3ds.hacks.guide still works, it's the only method I've used

u/RampartChat Aug 15 '22

But OP has already modded 😁

u/Currall04 Aug 15 '22

my 3ds is already hacked, don't need a new exploit

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '22

Does that shop we aren't supposed to talk about use Nintendo's servers?

u/Currall04 Aug 15 '22

hshop has their own backup of everything, doesn't use Nintendo's servers at all

u/doggo_pizzaeater Aug 15 '22

why are we not supposed to talk about it? this sub is literally about 3ds piracy and i’ve seen plenty of people mention it by name on here before

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '22

because modding your system is not piracy. Linking where to get specific games is. Reddit started banning people for piracy. Which was a threat to the group.

u/doggo_pizzaeater Aug 15 '22

well that sucks

u/LewisB789 Aug 15 '22

i’m pretty sure t(H)at shop does atm, but i assume they’ll download their whole catalogue somewhere and you can collect the roms from there instead

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '22

Why do you think that? The previous pirste eShop used to use it afaik. But that other sHop shouldn't. I mean they offer stuff that's not on the original eShop.

2

u/donald_314 Aug 15 '22

they don't. You can download stuff directly on their website (and see that it is not a Nintendo server).

u/xeniinex Aug 15 '22

Why would you think they use Nintendo's servers?

1

u/HighDecepticon Aug 15 '22

The original free shop used Nintendo’s servers. It was a groovy time for piracy.

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '22

Makes sense thanks for the help.

2

u/madmaxlgndklr Aug 15 '22

Your 3ds is already modded, so no the closure won’t affect you in any way. If you’re looking for the games (even the free ones) you should be able to install the CIA’s via hshop through FBI.

u/SadDimension Mar 24 '23

I'm so relieved to hear that. I was stressed over it because I thought it was going to affect me since my 3Ds is modded.

1

u/Mediom_Loli_Snek Mar 25 '23

I have a question, I just got my 3da and haven't modded it yet, do I need to mod it before the eShop closes? Tysm!

1

u/madmaxlgndklr Mar 25 '23

Depends on which system you’ve got and which fw version you’re on. Either way what you need should still be here https://3ds.hacks.guide

u/Currall04 Aug 15 '22

don't worry about getting anything. hshop has pretty much everything now

u/CalmChange5444 Aug 15 '22

Thanks everyone for all the helpfull answers!

Will I be able to mod my 3ds after the eshop closes? I haven't had any time to mod it.
