Huge movements with panels: streetpass love, socal gaming Expo, pax east & pax west have been a huge boom for bringing back the system. Message the gaming otter or demeech they might want to work with you 😊
I'm happy to see people using 3DS today. I just picked it up again too and with all the great games it has, I realize I prefer playing games separately from my phone. The 3DS family aren't ginormous and so I don't mind carrying them both. There's really not a successor. I love streetpass.
@@michaellvoltare I actually do get street pass but only when I’m in school since I’ve seen one person having a 3ds out in the hallways but I don’t get street pass anywhere else really
I think it's funny how modding a 3DS has become a source for "cozy gaming content" xD I remember the times when coldbooting EmuNAND was the best we could do. Nights of working around one issue after another just to install a little sysmodul. When more exploits where discovered and more people got into homebrewing the whole scene made much more progress in a shorter time. But it was still not easy. I even had to solder a hardmod to the 3ds of a friend. This actually got me into soldering. Today it is so easy and I love it! It is so accessible and less stressfull. I think the whole process of modding a 3ds today is the easiest and most rewarding experience in console modding.
PSP is also really simple, but apart from that 3ds is definitely the easiest. The time you need to find and figure out the table of ps3 slim compatibility with permanent cfw (not hen) you are already playing on your modded 3ds I do have to say that I find PSvita modding more rewarding tho because of all the custom games and ports
It's so reassuring to see people my age still playing their 3DS. Like, this is probably how some people still carry around a GameBoy. I feel old making the comparison, but it's nice knowing we're not alone. Hope to still streetpass with some of y'all one day!
My switch is just a Splatoon machine now cause i love how compact and portable the 3ds is and ofc homebrewing it made it ELITE as hell. Also, flipping open and closing the 3ds to put it into sleep mode is so much better than clicking a button and tapping another button 3 times on the switch.
I just modified mine a few days ago, after having my 3DS for over a decade. nice to see how u organize and games recommendations :) im obsessed with new leaf at the moment
Nintendo handhelds are so awesome. I love seeing peoples handhelds and what they have on them, how they customize them. I have a modded New 3DS XL and I love it, but my dream is to find a nice normal sized New 3DS with a cool faceplate. Thanks for sharing and posting!
Nice video! I modded my own 3DS about a year ago and have really enjoyed trying out all of the features it has to offer now that it's "fully unlocked." Really enjoy seeing what other people like to do with theirs! Also PKSM is used to manage and manipulate Pokemon save files and "Anemone" is pronounced "uh-neh-muh-nee" like the sea animal that clownfish live inside
I started with this (a modded 3ds) 5 years ago.. people already sold them at that time.. filled with roms. Now after the eshop closes it really got bigger with it. I still love playing on all my hacked 3DS Systems. I play it way more then I play on my Switch.🙈😃 Great video!!
The app with the flag icon is Checkpoint, you use it to back up your saves. The blue Poke Ball icon is PKSM, you can use it to change stuff with your Pokemon game, like items, Pokemon and get mystery gifts that are no longer distributed, like the Eon Ticket from ORAS or the Shiny Light Trio from USUM.
I'm so glad i saw triforce heroes! I remember picking it up at a game store for £7 in rhe bargain bin, i loved that game so much. It actually made me realise it could connect to the internet, my 2DS stayed on factory settings and firmware for years. It makes me so happy that the Pretendo Network is aiming to get the servers back online for it. It's not the best zelda game but god is it my favourite. I'm so glad i modded a 3ds as it just brings back the life of so many games, playing kid icarus uprising alone was worth it.
hell yes!! i loved the video. i might make my own 3DS review cause its legit like the coolest console ive ever owned. nothing even comes close. the catalog of awesome games, and the great performance of the 3DSxl is a match made in heaven.
Your video just randomly popped up on my homepage and as someone who got the 3DS on release day, this was a very easy click. This was really cool to see how far the 3DS modding scene has advanced this long after Nintendo stopped developing for the system. I thoroughly enjoyed the way you put the video together and that you were very honest with why you didn't mod it yourself. You have an excellent taste in games, Pokemon is pretty much all I play, but I'm also a big fan of puzzle games, Kirby, Zelda, and Mario. I loved your video and I'm very excited, as a small content creator myself, to see more videos like this and watch your channel grow. P.S. Don't worry about saying 3DS too many times, you did just fine. 😛Also I really like that you know that your cute and added a #cutegamer tag in your description 😉
It's such a neat thing! I never grew up with a DS due to my parents's reluctance on getting one, but playing emulated games on my N2DSXL on the train is so much fun! I am having such a blast playing Sonic Advance as well. The homebrew community is pretty darn alive and the Breaking Bad fan game is as hilarious as it is neat. I have picked up the habit of watching YT on it and it's starting to replace my phone for entertainment needs on the go. I certainly recommend people getting into it if they need a small, portable device capable of running on the go (N3DS and prior) games or just feel like emulating the fifth generation of consoles and prior. I love flipnote.
TRUST ME, you are absolutely smart enough to mod it. the 3ds modding guide is constantly updated and has dummy proof step by step instructions. As well as instructions to troubleshoot basically any issue you may have. I just got me first new 3ds xl like a week ago and was terrified to mod it but I committed and it took maybe an hour tops? if anyone on here is afraid to mod it themselves, YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Love the genre of content you create, based around handheld consoles. Informative and great commentary; delivery of voice is perfect. Emulation, hardware customization, shell themes, and community resources are so valuable to me for these systems. Please continue making videos!
Just got one a few days ago and I’m literally overwhelmed with how many games you can have in it. I can’t even decide which game to play 😂 this is amazing
I modded my 3DS a few years back and it has been lovely! I know it’s a meme of people saying how easy it is but it’s true! I’ve done all kinds of mods like many different smash mods on Wii u, I got into switch modding a little while ago, and that is a whole can of worms, but the 3DS stuff has been pretty easy to understand, and there’s so many people in the community that you’ll almost always be able to find a solution to a problem you may have! Great video!
Literally modded my 3DS last night, my sisters as well. I have a new Nintendo 3DS model withe the pokemon 8bit shell . With a 32 GB memory card, PSP right thumbstuck and I backed up and dumped my physical games onto my system. It's so nice not having to lug around 3 or 4 games and worrying about losing them. They stay neatly on my shelf and I get to play them digitally! Yeee. One of the main reasons if not the main reason why I modded my 3DS!
I want to mod my 3DS but I don't know how to do it... do you have a video that explains how to do it? it allows you to download all the games you want for free even if the Nintendo eshop is now closed?? Pleaseee
I recently got back into playing on my 3DS and i love how versatile it is, definitely looking into getting a modded one as well! I love my switch but it's definitely not as portable or comfortable to hold for extended periods of time (especially when traveling) also love the lord huron strange trails poster in the bg :]
The modding scene is so incredible for 3ds and Wii U. I only owned my Wii U to mod it and I saw that modding 3ds was pretty easy. I love watching these videos, and seeing what other people are doing with their 3ds'. Huge kirby and Earthbound fan so I use my 3ds often due to the amount of titles with kirby, and the sheer length of the mother series. Awesome video! Keep it up!
I agree! I actually bought a Japanese Wii U recently that I was going to have modded, might make a video about it we’ll see XD Thanks for the nice comment! :)
Great timing on this video, I recently modded my N3DSXL all on my own. I’ve had it for years and for awhile it was just sitting in a drawer. But now that I have access to all games I never got to play before I’ve really been spending a lot of time playing virtual console and a few 3DS games I downloaded also. Unfortunately the cartridges seem to be skyrocketing in price but with a modded console that’s no problem. I never made use full use of the street pass feature back when I got it new but I’m glad to still see the community embracing this system.
@@dawfefgwerhqerhrqrehqehr more so preservation of potentially lost media. With the discontinuation of official support from Nintendo there will be a lot of 3DS content that will become inaccessible and not obtainable anymore.
god these designs are so much nice than my plain grey 3DS lmao. great video! I love my modded handhelds, you literally never run out of things to play 😊
I never own a 3DS but it's amazing to see a modded one in this day and age. Truly a legendary handheld gaming gadget that never gets old and by the way this is only a compliment but you are very beautiful on the video. 👍
Nice galaxy 3DS, I’ve been looking into getting twilight menu working on one of my 3DS consoles, but I’m paranoid about it. I think I’m just gonna go ahead and buy a cheap DSi and use that instead. Also, you’re mad cute! :D thanks for the vid dude
It's great to see so many channels talking about the 3ds and starting their collection in 2024. I started mine around 2022, while still small, I have some great titles and two 3ds consoles. One of them being the FE Fates N3DS XL.
I bought a modded 3ds on Etsy in January. It was expensive but worth it! I didn’t trust myself to mod it either lol. It’s been so much fun. Never had a ds as a kid and always wanted one, so it’s cool to have one now!
In 8-10 years the switch is gonna be this revered as well haha. I remember how new and advanced the 3DS was. I was in seventh grade. I love the passage of time
3ds holds a special place in my heart. Modding brings so much to the system, it makes so much more sense to do it now with the the servers being shutdown in a matter of weeks.
I picked up a 2ds for the sole reason of modding it too. I couldn't bear to mod any of my personal 3ds systems 😅I'm not really smart enough to mod stuff lol, but it is a fairly straightforward process! My advice for others is to read a bit ahead in the written guide you follow (not a video that may be outdated!) to make sure you have all the files you need. I had that trouble, but if you have all your files it's pretty straightforward 😊
I recently modded my New 3DS XL and it just gave the system a completely new life! I haven't had the time to play that many games in my collection but pulling it out here and there, especially when I'm away from home, always brings a lot of fun. Really enjoyed the video and thanks for the game recommendations!
Nah modding a 3DS is easier than spending money, you literally just put the guide on the screen and do as it says. You can go off and do all kinds of crap to your 3DS and the chances of bricking it are super slim lol
@@Cabz. you have to buy one, my pc doesn’t have an sd card reader so I bought one. I literally walked into Walmart and bought a micro sd card reader there when I needed one
@@Cabz.so what does having to buy a PC even have to do with what I originally said in my first comment? I said modding one is EASIER than spending money. Of course you have to spend money to mod a 3DS, whether that’s buying a premodded one or modding it yourself
@@Cabz.Most people have access to a PC in the Western world, if not at home then at a library (free), local university (free) or a friend (free). You made the reduction from no PC with SD card to no PC at all, but the truth is that with the current prices of the 3DS, you're paying way over for one regardless, because most have wear and tear, and then even more so for someone to spend 15m modding it. I have bought myself and my girlfriend one recently and when looking at the going rates I saw easily 1/4 up to 1/3rd of the initial cost being thrown on top because it's modded, which is ridiculous. Never modded any console before, and figuring out how to do it was as easy as moving things around in file manager.
Yea please don't pay to get ur console modded lmao, its a 15 minute process if u have done it once before, 30 mins if ur new to it. Its really only a 6 step thing and there's easy tutorials on it
randomly found your channel in my recommended, so happy to see the 3DS coming back in full force after the shut down. I finally went and modded mine a few weeks ago and I have hardly put it down since. I always said it was/is one of my favorite consoles ever so now having the library of games I missed out on and not having to pay insane 3rd party seller prices, I can finally enjoy them. Its also been a really good way to stop using my phone for games and put that thing down more. Great video, really enjoy the chill way you went over your library!
I think a series of finding something unloved and unwanted on FBMP/eBay/wherever and going through the motions of modding it (hardware and software) would be an absolute banger for the channel, delivered in your style.
getting recs for this video probably because i looked into 3ds modding started using mine for the first time since 2018, plus upgrading to a properly formatted 128gb card i'm glad people are keeping it alive this way :)
great overview of the situation, i'd love to see a game recommendations video! EDIT: i highly recommend both resident evil games on 3DS, they are both wildly different but really fun on their own terms!
Modified mine a year ago and was the best decision of my life. I have been playing Harvest Moon DS cute and has been so fun going back to old games again.
Just found your channel through your most recent video, but had to come here and comment that the special edition Animal Crossing 3DS is the best. I finally got one from Japan a few months ago and I love it.
I’m 16 about to be 17 but I had one when I was younger and broke it in half 😢 I was looking to get a lite but I might search for another 3Ds and mod it. This is bringing up memories of me playing 3Ds with my neighbor ❤
It’s actually kind of hilarious how easy it is to mod it. The guide is foolproof, I have a 10 y/o sorta messed up 3ds my friend gave me and a really TERRIBLE laptop I used for school during Covid, and I managed to mod the 3ds so easily in 2 hours, it’ll take you 30 minutes if you know what you’re doing, trust me you don’t need a high end pc or 3ds lmao
My 3DS is my goto these days for DS and GBA games. I'm not the biggest fan of the actual 3DS library aside from a handful of games, so if anything I could have been happy with a DSi even. Also, I think I read somewhere that 3DS actually does not emulate DS and GBA games, it actually has the hardware on there, so the performance for those games is 1:1 with their original counterparts. Super convenient too to be able to scan QR codes to download games, well except for DS games. Really wish you could do that, but either way, love my 3DSXL!!
I still kick myself for not snagging more 3ds stuff when my local Walmart was getting rid of it. Galaxy xl was discounted to like 170 and they had stock of white & black 2ds xls for 100. Then i missed the $10 liquidation at the very end for some games. Ugh..
It’s hard to Mod my 3ds i notice that’s the future of the 3ds is modding but I always liked going adventures to find a hidden gem of games. I still do and the harder it gets the better retro stores become. My Hylian 2ds XL and Black Friday 3ds where hard to find and finding them was the fun part. Hope you had fun stories getting your 3ds ❤️
great video, nice game choices! 3ds modding is SO easy and anyone with an SD card/reader/laptop can do it. also the themes app is a-nehm-oh-nee like a sea anemone!
14.06.24 Yesterday, after watching 3ds jailbreak again on Retro Game Corps' channel, I started to find 3ds emulation tutorial by typing "3ds emulation" because on RGC, Russ said that, he will make this related video on future but hasn't made yet. When I was searching, I found this video of yours. Your presentation made me interested. So, I thought, let me check her channel. Then, I saw every video. Then, after sometime, I suddenly subcribed your channel because you look so sweet and your presention is so nice that, I couldn't stop myself to subcribe your channel. ☺️💗 Now, I am writing this comment and have liked all the videos on your channel. 👍 Besides, your channel is kind of related to retro games, so it's normal that, I will like it because I like retro games. Anyways, good luck Sis for the future. Love from Bangladesh ❤️
So its hard to ask this question without getting a "yeah just mod it" answer. But i have an ORIGINAL 2012 red and black 3dsxl. ( Bought IN 2012 /early 2013) Its going on 12 years old. It's an old gal. I've dropped it many times. And still works (It has a protective armor princess peach edition on it so that probably saved it) So my questions are, 1. Can you still mod it today , 2. Anyone had experience successfully modding this specific model 3dsxl, 3. What happens to the games i already have on it? 4. Can i keep my 32 gb sd card and use that for the mod? I don't want to have that many games on it just the ones i really love
Hi! I didn’t mod mine myself so I don’t have a ton of knowledge on it, but I’ve seen other people mod their older 3ds models so I’m sure yours is fine! I’m not sure what happens to the games you already have on it, and you may need a bigger sd card than that in order to install the mods. I would recommend looking up some more recent tutorials!
You know what, it is ok to keep your original console in pristine condition (unmodded), and yours looks just great with that holographic-like purple color.
I just realized some of my clips are mirrored in my last two videos so it may look a little odd sometimes - I will fix this in future videos, sorry!
I am still new to video editing too, and my lawd I make mistakes every video that I catch AFTER the fact.
I low key want to make a similar video like this? What if I get arrested though?
It was actually weird to see it mirrored and I was confused for a bit, wondering if it was a rare model or something lol.
Would you watch a 3D video I made for 3ds users; like yourself?

Im 45 and I still think my GameBoy rules..
3ds also 😊
Love all mine🎉👍
I modded my old 3ds for my niece and she absolutely loves it! She won't go anywhere without her personal pokemon/animal crossing device
I tend to pick up and play my 3ds more then the switch. I like the 3ds's charm and uniqueness.

x2, and let's emphasize the second point
This Music in the Video and your voice made my Day so much better... thanks, really!
I love my 3DS so much. I haven't modded mine, but I love picking games up every once in a while. Great video! I love the relaxing vibe of your videos.
6:43 That app is called Checkpoint. It can be used to back up save files in games!
Glad I got this recommended to me. I need to play my on 3DS more. Subscribing
Thanks!!
I never own a 3DS but it's amazing to see a modded one in this day and age. Truly a legendary handheld gaming gadget that never gets old and by the way this is only a compliment but you are very beautiful on the video. 👍
Nice galaxy 3DS, I’ve been looking into getting twilight menu working on one of my 3DS consoles, but I’m paranoid about it. I think I’m just gonna go ahead and buy a cheap DSi and use that instead. Also, you’re mad cute! :D thanks for the vid dude
modding your 3ds is a necessity in my opinion, good showcase!
It's great to see so many channels talking about the 3ds and starting their collection in 2024. I started mine around 2022, while still small, I have some great titles and two 3ds consoles. One of them being the FE Fates N3DS XL.
I bought a modded 3ds on Etsy in January. It was expensive but worth it! I didn’t trust myself to mod it either lol. It’s been so much fun. Never had a ds as a kid and always wanted one, so it’s cool to have one now!
Yay I’m so glad you love it!
In 8-10 years the switch is gonna be this revered as well haha. I remember how new and advanced the 3DS was. I was in seventh grade. I love the passage of time
I have a modded 2DS XL, I love the BOTW background!
Yours looks so cute, love the layout ❤
The 3DS is just such a magical console. I love how its making a comeback! I just started playing Pokemon Ultra Sun for the first time today! Fun video
3ds holds a special place in my heart. Modding brings so much to the system, it makes so much more sense to do it now with the the servers being shutdown in a matter of weeks.
TH-cam recommend me your video ahh loved every bit of it!! I just might get myself one!
Aw thanks! I definitely recommend it :)
This such a cozy and fun video! Makes me want to pickup a 3ds!
I picked up a 2ds for the sole reason of modding it too. I couldn't bear to mod any of my personal 3ds systems 😅I'm not really smart enough to mod stuff lol, but it is a fairly straightforward process! My advice for others is to read a bit ahead in the written guide you follow (not a video that may be outdated!) to make sure you have all the files you need. I had that trouble, but if you have all your files it's pretty straightforward 😊
One thing I really love about 3DS modding is being able to take advantage of the more powerful *New* 3DS. Games run a lot smoother which is great 💖💖💖
Right! there's 60fps patches for New 3DS for a lot of games that never had enhancements for the normal models
I recently modded my New 3DS XL and it just gave the system a completely new life! I haven't had the time to play that many games in my collection but pulling it out here and there, especially when I'm away from home, always brings a lot of fun. Really enjoyed the video and thanks for the game recommendations!
Nah modding a 3DS is easier than spending money, you literally just put the guide on the screen and do as it says. You can go off and do all kinds of crap to your 3DS and the chances of bricking it are super slim lol
Yh but some people don’t have a pc with sd cards an sd reader
@@Cabz. you have to buy one, my pc doesn’t have an sd card reader so I bought one. I literally walked into Walmart and bought a micro sd card reader there when I needed one
@@jacobjude6319 yes but some people don’t have a pc lol, it’s cheaper to buy a modded 3ds then it is to buy a pc
@@Cabz.so what does having to buy a PC even have to do with what I originally said in my first comment? I said modding one is EASIER than spending money. Of course you have to spend money to mod a 3DS, whether that’s buying a premodded one or modding it yourself
@@Cabz.Most people have access to a PC in the Western world, if not at home then at a library (free), local university (free) or a friend (free).
You made the reduction from no PC with SD card to no PC at all, but the truth is that with the current prices of the 3DS, you're paying way over for one regardless, because most have wear and tear, and then even more so for someone to spend 15m modding it.
I have bought myself and my girlfriend one recently and when looking at the going rates I saw easily 1/4 up to 1/3rd of the initial cost being thrown on top because it's modded, which is ridiculous.
Never modded any console before, and figuring out how to do it was as easy as moving things around in file manager.
Yea please don't pay to get ur console modded lmao, its a 15 minute process if u have done it once before, 30 mins if ur new to it. Its really only a 6 step thing and there's easy tutorials on it
Guess people are scared of bricking them.
3DS HACKS Guide provides an in depth guide with troubleshooting if you run into errors. Gotta be a dummy by bricking
Just hacked my first ever 3Ds I wanna say about 45 mins taking ur time and everything went smooth this is great!
I tried using zoogie.github and it said “error”
Folder badges are something to look into makes those plain folders looks awesome
randomly found your channel in my recommended, so happy to see the 3DS coming back in full force after the shut down. I finally went and modded mine a few weeks ago and I have hardly put it down since. I always said it was/is one of my favorite consoles ever so now having the library of games I missed out on and not having to pay insane 3rd party seller prices, I can finally enjoy them.
Its also been a really good way to stop using my phone for games and put that thing down more.
Great video, really enjoy the chill way you went over your library!
Awesome video!!! Keep up the good content!
Thank you!
Ayy! Loving that Lord Huron poster in the back, meet me in the woods was the first song that I heard that got me into them.
I think a series of finding something unloved and unwanted on FBMP/eBay/wherever and going through the motions of modding it (hardware and software) would be an absolute banger for the channel, delivered in your style.
getting recs for this video probably because i looked into 3ds modding
started using mine for the first time since 2018, plus upgrading to a properly formatted 128gb card
i'm glad people are keeping it alive this way :)
great overview of the situation, i'd love to see a game recommendations video!
EDIT: i highly recommend both resident evil games on 3DS, they are both wildly different but really fun on their own terms!
luvv itt definitely giving cozy gaming vibes :)
Modified mine a year ago and was the best decision of my life. I have been playing Harvest Moon DS cute and has been so fun going back to old games again.
I know it is kinda about console. but i cant hold myself back from saying - you have such warm voice and gorgeous face...omfg
That tomodachi life price blowed my mind! I remember they used to be like 10 maybe 15 on eBay
Just found your channel through your most recent video, but had to come here and comment that the special edition Animal Crossing 3DS is the best. I finally got one from Japan a few months ago and I love it.
Awesome video I got my 3ds xl❤
Modding a 3ds is simple, I didn't think I could do it either but it was really easy.
Yes. I've felt like buying one or two more of them to mod just to have them as back ups. That's how much I like this little block of joy
I know this is kinda irrelevant to the video but you’re so beautiful 😭💗💗💗
I love my lavender 2ds xl that I imported from Japan a few years ago. I never regretted it.
Is it region locked?
your channel is so good ! plz keep the content coming cx!
I’m 16 about to be 17 but I had one when I was younger and broke it in half 😢 I was looking to get a lite but I might search for another 3Ds and mod it. This is bringing up memories of me playing 3Ds with my neighbor ❤
Subbed! Thanks for the cool video!
youtube recommended this to me randomly, cool
Great taste in handheld console models, very refined.
Haha thanks!
It’s actually kind of hilarious how easy it is to mod it. The guide is foolproof, I have a 10 y/o sorta messed up 3ds my friend gave me and a really TERRIBLE laptop I used for school during Covid, and I managed to mod the 3ds so easily in 2 hours, it’ll take you 30 minutes if you know what you’re doing, trust me you don’t need a high end pc or 3ds lmao
You have a really calming voice
I saw the thumbnail and was confused about button placement then realized everthing is mirrored
Sorry I didn’t realize it would look so weird lol, I will fix it in future videos!
I be browsing themes more than playing any games 🤣
Thanks to modding I just played SMT IV on the 3ds and its one of my favorite games already
My 3DS is my goto these days for DS and GBA games. I'm not the biggest fan of the actual 3DS library aside from a handful of games, so if anything I could have been happy with a DSi even. Also, I think I read somewhere that 3DS actually does not emulate DS and GBA games, it actually has the hardware on there, so the performance for those games is 1:1 with their original counterparts.
Super convenient too to be able to scan QR codes to download games, well except for DS games. Really wish you could do that, but either way, love my 3DSXL!!
I still kick myself for not snagging more 3ds stuff when my local Walmart was getting rid of it. Galaxy xl was discounted to like 170 and they had stock of white & black 2ds xls for 100. Then i missed the $10 liquidation at the very end for some games. Ugh..
Ugh ikr 😖
Same
Modding my 3DS is one of the best decisions I've ever made - unbelievable bit of kit
It’s hard to Mod my 3ds i notice that’s the future of the 3ds is modding but I always liked going adventures to find a hidden gem of games. I still do and the harder it gets the better retro stores become. My Hylian 2ds XL and Black Friday 3ds where hard to find and finding them was the fun part. Hope you had fun stories getting your 3ds ❤️
this is such a great video! im gonna go mod my 3ds now LOL
Thanks!
Panty and Stockings Custom theme is ULTIMATE
great video, nice game choices! 3ds modding is SO easy and anyone with an SD card/reader/laptop can do it. also the themes app is a-nehm-oh-nee like a sea anemone!
Thank you!!
I’m your 900th sub also this video is really nice
Aw thank you! 🤍

Yesterday, after watching 3ds jailbreak again on Retro Game Corps' channel, I started to find 3ds emulation tutorial by typing "3ds emulation" because on RGC, Russ said that, he will make this related video on future but hasn't made yet.
When I was searching, I found this video of yours. Your presentation made me interested. So, I thought, let me check her channel. Then, I saw every video.
Then, after sometime, I suddenly subcribed your channel because you look so sweet and your presention is so nice that, I couldn't stop myself to subcribe your channel. ☺️💗
Now, I am writing this comment and have liked all the videos on your channel. 👍
Besides, your channel is kind of related to retro games, so it's normal that, I will like it because I like retro games.
Anyways, good luck Sis for the future.
Love from Bangladesh ❤️
there is no dead console when there is physical media
So its hard to ask this question without getting a "yeah just mod it" answer. But i have an ORIGINAL 2012 red and black 3dsxl. ( Bought IN 2012 /early 2013) Its going on 12 years old. It's an old gal. I've dropped it many times. And still works (It has a protective armor princess peach edition on it so that probably saved it)
So my questions are, 1. Can you still mod it today , 2. Anyone had experience successfully modding this specific model 3dsxl, 3. What happens to the games i already have on it? 4. Can i keep my 32 gb sd card and use that for the mod?
I don't want to have that many games on it just the ones i really love
Hi! I didn’t mod mine myself so I don’t have a ton of knowledge on it, but I’ve seen other people mod their older 3ds models so I’m sure yours is fine! I’m not sure what happens to the games you already have on it, and you may need a bigger sd card than that in order to install the mods. I would recommend looking up some more recent tutorials!
this video feels like it was filmed in 2013 but in a good way idk how to describe it
You know what, it is ok to keep your original console in pristine condition (unmodded), and yours looks just great with that holographic-like purple color.
the video quality is so nice, good job!
Thanks!!
