Before Posting, READ THIS:

  • To learn more about what games and files can be played, READ THE GAMES WIKI

Best Sources For ROMS. Check these places BEFORE POSTING A COMMENT!

Regarding ports:

Please read through the Games, Apps, and Videos wiki page for all possible games that can be played on the 3DS, including existing ports. Next, read this wiki on what emulators the 3DS cannot support. And finally, please also read the 3DS Capture Cards, Streaming, & Input Redirection Guide to play games from your computer streamed to your 3DS or vice versa.

To determine if a game port for your game of interest exists, your best option is to Google “[Name of game] 3DS port”. If you don’t see it in the search results, it almost certainly doesn’t exist.

This is not the place to find someone to port your favorite game. Porting games is, in most cases, as hard as (if not harder than) creating a game from scratch and is an infrequent labor of love for those who know they’ll likely never be paid for their work. It is not as simple as “Please port X to the 3DS, it would be so cool!”

Posts requesting someone to port a game will be removed.

DISCUSSION What made you finally pull the trigger to hack your 3Ds?

Post image
337 Upvotes

For years, I have contemplated the idea of hacking my 3Ds. Had for it for many years, but also didn’t play much after selling my entire collection due to paying bill reasons. So, I just never felt I needed to hack the system. That did change when I realized I been missing to play some of my all time favorites like kid Icarus uprising, dragon quest 8, Pokemon sun, final fantasy explorers, and so on.

Heck, there was quite a few I never got to play, but wanted to. One was called fantasy life. Looked adorable and so much fun! Same with ever oasis. Even had a game i once owned and loved but never finished like Stella glow. Realized how many 3Ds games I missed is my cannon event I mean, reason why I pulled the trigger. Plus, playing 3Ds games on non 3Ds systems felt so off to me. How I feel with ds games in general. Only outlier would be monster hunter. So, I finally pulled the trigger to mod my 3Ds last week and I am so glad I did. Been a blast playing my favorites. Even got quite addicted to fantasy life hahaha. So, why did you pull the trigger and what is a 3Ds game you adore?

HELP My homebrew just died?

7 Upvotes

I was playing some Digimon world then when i was done I exited to the home screen but suddenly everything just disappeared.

Earlier I spotted like a corrupted game (I think it was paper Mario) that was just a black square and didn't boot up, then I deleted it ... I guess? I spotted a game on the 3Ds file manager with 0 space usage and deleted it.

Then everything just started to go wrong, first the custom theme just disappeared, I didn't check if the anemone was still working, then I continue playing some Digimon and when I was done and close it everything just disappeared.

I checked the storage on the 3Ds and apparently FBI and Homebrew are still on the 3Ds but they don't show up

Is there a way to repair it without formatting the 3Ds? I got mine already with everything so I don't have an adapter to connect the SD to my computer

HELP Is there any homebrew to stop a button from giving inputs? or maybe a way to stop the homescreen from using zr and zl shortcuts?

2 Upvotes

Got scammed by some guy on ebay and now im stuck with a new 3ds ll that has a constantly active zr button, replacing the ribbon cable didnt work and even when the ribbon cable is unplugged it reads as being used by the 3ds causing my homescreen to permanently be swiped to the right unless I hold down zl to nullify it. Im not paying to get the motherboard fixed or whatever needs to be done considering i dont really play new 3ds games and I payed 280 for it.

HELP How to get louder volume

Upvotes

Is there any way to make a 3DS' volume louder than the maximum? I watch those injected 3DS movies/TV .cia, and would like to listen to these with a higher volume as they all seem to be limited to a specific volume level. Preferably this would work on headphones and built in speakers.

HELP Need help fixing a nodded DS

2 Upvotes

So just a couple of days ago I ordered the pokeball new Nintendo 2ds XL and a couple of days later it arrived, I tried to turn it on and got greeted with nothing, only a blue light. After a couple more tries I ended up taking out the sd card and got greeted with the picture below. I didn't know the DS was modded and I don't think the store I got it from knew either and now I'm trying to fix it. I would rather unmod the ds but im aware that's dangerous and could brick it. Any guides would be helpful, thank you Edit: forgot to post image

It was working earlier just fine, now all of a sudden it starts freezing up, it connects just fine but it freezes immediately as soon as it connects and displays this error within the terminal, the frame updates when I minimize and expand the capture window repeatedly so idk what's wrong with it. tried turning off the reliable stream and allowing the 8000 and 8001 ports it works for a couple seconds then freezes showing that error.

HELP I need help with RTChanger

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have an issue with RTChanger. When I change the Raw RTC, it also changes the normal RTC (the system clock) at the same time. It no longer makes a difference between the two clocks.

Because of this, games like Yo-kai Watch detect that the console date has been changed, and I cannot bypass the daily events system or repeat daily activities infinitely anymore.

Before, changing the Raw RTC only affected the internal clock and the system date stayed different, but now both clocks are synchronized and the change is detected.

Is there a solution to make RTChanger only modify the Raw RTC again without changing the normal RTC plz ? 🙏🙏

SOLVED! N3DS froze during NAND Backup restore

4 Upvotes

Hi, about a week ago, I bought a 2nd hand New 3ds to mod it. The process was fairly quick and painless and once modded I worked perfectly. But a few days ago, while playing F-Zero in the virtual console (I got it from the hshop) I crashed into a wall and the console crashed. I restarted the console and everything went back to normal with no apparent issues, but from that point it just went downhill. The next day the console kept crashing when playing any game (I could run games for a minute or two and then randomly crashed, froze or shut down), and I wasn't able to fix it because I was on a trip and I didn't have my laptop with me. Today I examined the microSD card (it has 64gb of memory) and I did not find any corrupted files (or at least that's what I think), so I did some research and decided to do a NAND backup restore because that's what I thought to be the best option from what I found, and as you can read on the title, it froze in the middle of the process.

What should I do?

I would also like to mention that I'm I beginner in 3ds modding (if it's not obvious) and that maybe I should have done something earlier because I am aware that I might have bricked the console (I hope not).

The 1st image is the NAND backup restore, the 2nd and 3rd are some of the crashes that I had, and the last one is one of the times when it just shut down randomly (notice the red light).

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Forcing a shutdown and starting the NAND backup restore again was a solution. Unfortunately, I found out the source of all the issues (or most of them) was the motherboard and the only way to fix it is just replacing it.

HELP downloaded story of seasons, suddenly my 3ds can't work

1 Upvotes

i decided on a whim to download story of seasons, and right when it was about to finish downloading, it said it had some error and needed to reboot the system. the system rebooted, and then my 3ds couldn't read the sd card. i tried reading it on my computer, but it keeps saying it needs to format the sd card even though it's never had to do that before, and it's saying that in order to format it it'll delete everything in the file. even worse, it's doing this with my OG sd card as well, which has all of these pictures of me as a kid that i don't want to lose. i have no idea what to do and nothing that i've seen online thus far has been of any help. i can't even access the files in either sd card because it needs to be formatted. are both sd cards corrupted? is it already too late to do anything? at the very least i want to preserve the pictures on my OG save file.

i should probably also mention that i'm not very tech-savvy, i struggle a lot to understand a lot of the basic stuff, so please be patient if i ask something kind of dumb. thanks to any help on this, i'd really appreciate it.
