@@StyLER_YTBE Its different if you don't have a new 3DS, just follow the guide and it says "dpad, left button, select". P.s always use both a video and the actual guide website..
Honestly if I just followed the guide I would of been clueless or done it much slower but with this tutorial it helped me so much to hack my 3Ds for the first time :D so thank you! Love the editing simple and easy to follow ! 😁
Ensure your system date is correct. i was working with a freshly reset 3ds that thought it was 2011 and that didnt allow the QR code to work. Took me half an hour to realize the issue. i feel dumb lol
I got my Japanese 3ds a week ago and im really bad at tech so I was thinking of selling it at the end because I thought I trashed the console but with you’re video with me actually seeing the roms placement ive got it working with homebrew, Thanks brother
After my first successful modding attempt on the old original 3ds I decided that I now feel comfortable enough to try modding a special edition new 3ds xl. Your guide has helped me a lot, since there were quite a few different steps to the old model guide. Thanks to you it all went smoothly! ✨
Thank you a ton!! To me it was actually a bit easier because for example all the things I needed to download for the 1st part are now in a single folder and all the folders I needed to add (like the payloads folder for example) were already made. Thank you so much, you helped me so much as a visual guide. Note for anybody that is going to renew their battery: When I changed the battery and turned on the console, the screen on minute: 9:23 appeared. I just pressed save and exit and the 3ds booted normally. So I'm guessing it's normal.
thanks for this video dude !! now ive got a cool modded 3ds to play with :) ive recently updated my old ds lite's r4 cart contents after remembering its existence (which took hours of troubleshooting😭) and thought modding my 3ds would also be as easy as dragging and dropping files into an sd card - and it totally is !! your clear instructional video helped a ton, i appreciate this so much💚
oh my god thank you so much!! you helped me out so much, i started freaking out cause all the writing on the 3ds website was overwhelming, but then i found your video!! thank you so much!!
For some reason I can't install the luma3ds. the exploit doesn't work. I've done everything you've outlined, but the when I click the a button pop up, it asks me if I want to open the website. When I click yes, it just brings the a button pop up again, and the loop repeats. Update: It seems the loop just gives up in a blank screen after 10 times in. Update Update: THE DATE! YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE DATE TO THE CORRECT DAY FOR IT TO WORK!!!!
At first I was hesitant on doing this as I always get butterflies in my stomach while doing these tech-wizard kind of stuff but I really appreciate the helpful visual guide!! Edit: It was a success 😎
Thanks for the video! I used the video alongside the Guide Website to help make the process easier. Before continuing at 13:45, I also followed the steps on the site to region change from Japanese, which did make the whole process a little longer.
Thank youuu so much for this video explaining everything!! I subbed after watching. Definitely helped make things clear on what to do to homebrew your system, helped homebrewed 2 systems, 1 3ds LL for myself and another for my brother.
@@akina309 thanks :D All I had to do afterwards was just change the region. Changed region to US & redownloaded the finalizer, then Hshop and now I have hours of gaming ahead :]
INFORMATION! If the browser exploit doesn't work, make sure your date and time is set correctly to the present day, look at the bottom right of your computer to find the month, day, and year!
Thanks a lot for this. This is by far the easiest method I've seen anywhere to homebrew the 3ds. Not to mention this worked on my crappy chromebook is a big plus.
for any games you want to download, Vimm's Lair is the best place. they have an archive of ROMs for any system from the Atari 2600 all the way up to PS3/Wii/Xbox360. search 'vimms lair" on google and you'll find it easy
Nothing works on me.I have the correct date, the good website for my version, but nothing works.It freeze on a black screen that say that i have to power off my console, i looked at the troubleshooting in the website but nothing works im gonna cry i absolutely need help
someone else here mentioned their location was the problem - they ended up setting the country as USA but had to leave the state area blank. I think the 3DS hacks site has a discord as well with a ton of super smart people in there
What about formatting the sdcard into Fat32? I have no idea what to do about that outside that this has been very insightful and in-depth. i appreciate this lots!
To prep the SD card, all you need to do is plug it into your system (while off) and power it on - it will automatically format the SD card how it needs to!
I spent 2 days trying to do this, thank god everything was going well and if the instructions on the video did not work I always found a solution but AT THE VERY LAST PART..Homebrew apps aren't showing on my 3ds I don't know what to do..
Nice video! I didn't use a video guide for modding my 3DS, but if I were to, this would be the best one right now because this was the exact same method I used. I hope you don't mind if I include some parts of this video in another video I'm working on about how I modded my 3DS. I'll make sure to give you credit!
dude, that would be awesome! feel free to borrow any clips you want, just throw my name in the description or something. Let me know when you post it too, I'd love to check it out!
since you already modded a 3ds before is there any way I could lose my old 3ds data by mistake from trying to mod it? I already made a back up of my 3ds data on my sd card to my pc but I still worry about the rest of my data that's on my console's main storage as it's my main 3ds and I have tons of memories with it
@@ok-sq5rg I'd imagine there is a way, but as long as you follow the steps, that shouldn't happen. Modding your 3DS won't erase anything that's on your 3DS's main storage, and you already made a backup of your SD card, so that should be fine as well.
after pressing the "GO GO" and colors flash, instead of the homebrew launcher opening, my top screen stays black while the bottom stays blue, this is after I changed my language settings
I get stuck on a yellow screen and get kicked out the browser and I’ve looked all over the internet but can’t get it to get pass that stage to launch homebrew 😢
Great video man, thank you for the content. I am new to this so I have a question. I did the mod on a small 4gig SD card and everything is working great. I would like to know if I can just copy all of the files over to a larger SD and it still work or do I have to start all over again.
to be honest, i'm not 100% sure! I don't think so, but it's possible i'm wrong! would do your research first though - there's a whole discord full of people far smarter at this than I am
my nintendo displays the same respond even if i change lenguage and do all the steps. ( before getting to the page it displays that cannot confirm the securiry of the page
I just constantly get an error I’m on same version as you and multiple others I did the exact same thing I changed my language like you said and I still get the same pop up
@@LivingLikeGaryYT I’m pretty sure it was that I don’t remember now, it happens when I do the “GO GO” thing I just get a white bottom screen and it gets the error
I had a problem once I got to the GO GO GO part of the mod. Double check to make sure your time is right, I forgot I had changed it months ago abusing the bank in animal crossing and was super confused on why it wasn’t working. It needs the correct time and date to work. Oopsies on my part
I believe Nintendo made an update version where it bricks modded 3ds’ so would I download it when you said I should or should I wait for everything to be installed and use the universal updater I have a second question as a reply to this one
I would update to the newest version beforehand to make things easier, but the hacks have been patched for the update you mentioned! Unless something just released, everything still works 100%. For your other question, you can probably swap the language to English before you start the hacks, I don't believe the language matters too much during the install.
@@akina309 k thanks this helped me because my birthday is coming up and I want a 2ds LL which is slightly cheaper on eBay and the first thing I’m going to do is mod once I get it
@@CooleyCritsdid you get the LL finished I'm in the same boat not sure at what point or how I can switch it to english. Or if there is extra steps involved.
after scanning the qrcode and closing the internet and pressing on the link in the 3ds I continue to get "an error has occurred. Hold down the POWER Button to turn off the power, then turn it on and try again." at the bottom and when I try changing my language it does the same thing and idk what to do
yes, you'll want to insert the new SD card into the system and turn it on. The console should say something like "Formatting your storage" for a moment, but once it makes it to the home screen, you're good to go!
Can I use a completely new 32gb micro sd card or do I need to use the one that comes with my 3ds? As long as my new sd card has the Nintendo folder it should be fine right?
@@lohuune9627 oh okay thank you I’ve always wanted a 3ds and I was finally able to get my hands on one for a really good price. So I’m not very familiar with Nintendo and modding it.
@@akina309 I’ve been trying to find a good tutorial for years so I could relive my childhood and play yo kai watch since I lost the cartridge years ago, I am extremely grateful
hi, I heard that nintendo is releasing some kind of update that tries to brick modded consoles and i saw some videos that say that you need to go to the universal updater and download luma or lumos i forgot and then i saw that twilight menu was for original games and im kinda confused. could you please explain in detail every app you downloaded or you can download?
Edit: I actually figured out my issue I just had to skip some steps and to be honest it might be a problem with my computer but I did figure it out eventually w tutorial btw
I get a pink screen and then an error occurs and I am directed to power off my console, anyone know how to fix this? I’ve tried multiple times with no success
Is the size of the SD card relevant (as in how much extra space it gives)? My console is pretty OG/old and only has a 4GB sd card built in. I want to know if I have to buy one with more space (and if so then how much of it?) or if I'm safe to go ahead.
you can do it with the 4GB! just know that it'll heavily limit the amount of ROMs and custom programs you can put on it. I would recommend upgrading first to give yourself that extra headroom, fortunately SD cards are really cheap these days!
@@akina309 heya, tysm for the reply! I've a follow-up question. I already did the whole hacking on the 4GB now, but if I want to upgrade to an SD card with more space, would that be possible in any way? Like copying the SD card files to the new one and then reinserting for example. Any help appreciated 👍
i did everything right, download games and all that jazz but the missed the part where i was supposed to cop and paste the "backup" to my desktop. Am i cooked?
Nah, you're not cooked. it's an insurance policy incase something gets borked later in the installation, but if everything went according to plan and it's working you're okay
Helloooo thanks for the video you are so helpful but before I do the modding I have some questions... first of all what I wanna do is play all of my Pokémon games and some of the Pokémon games that I don't have (for example emerald, platinum black 2 and others) with my og charizard from my leaf green game, I want to play all the games with this pokemon and its eggs lol😂..its a difficult challenge but I'll try ma best but the quest is can I transfer all the pokemons that I want to the modded games that ill download and after that can I be able to still send them to my switch games or is it impossible? Also can I download the Pokémon bank if I hack my 3ds or is it impossible now to get the Pokémon bank... thanks so much for the help you are the best!!!!
pokemon bank still works with the hacks, no problem there! as far as your other question goes, you'd just need to migrate that charizard or other pokemon from your Leaf green to a higher generation that matches the gen of the game you're trying to play. then, just trade it over from another system and it should work!
Everything went perfectly up until the Twilight menu section, I downloaded twilight menu and all that but the "roms" folder never showed up, what should I do?
inserting new game carts is no problem at all! I've also transferred data on and off of my microSD card with this hack setup and it's been totally fine, so I would say there's no big risk associated. Just make sure you only transfer game data, and leave all the default Nintendo and hacks folders in their place
For that, I would probably check around with forums online. That's a weird situation for sure, they also have their own discord where you can ask questions and people who are much more qualified can help with all of that stuff
Do you need a specific size SD card to do this? I only have a 2GB SD card which im considering upgrading anyway, but do you need a specific size? And also, if you swap out your SD card do you have to repeat the process of modding, and can it result in bricking your console from swapping out? Many thanks.
I dont believe this would work because the files you download for setup are more than 2 gb so you could try but it would be recommended to just get a bigger one beforehand.
you will need more than 2GB, unfortunately. 4GB is the bare minimum but I would recommend more. I've linked an SD and MicroSD in the description if you need!

@@lohuune9627 oh okay thank you I’ve always wanted a 3ds and I was finally able to get my hands on one for a really good price. So I’m not very familiar with Nintendo and modding it.
So I did it…where do I get the rom files from? For games?
2:05 is when he shuts the fuck up and gets to the point
Best tutorial I’ve found
Glad I could help!
@@akina309 I’ve been trying to find a good tutorial for years so I could relive my childhood and play yo kai watch since I lost the cartridge years ago, I am extremely grateful
hi, I heard that nintendo is releasing some kind of update that tries to brick modded consoles and i saw some videos that say that you need to go to the universal updater and download luma or lumos i forgot and then i saw that twilight menu was for original games and im kinda confused. could you please explain in detail every app you downloaded or you can download?
Wow would like to learn more on this!
I was doing everything step by step but after i did the backing up and nand dump is wont read the sd card now
Edit: I actually figured out my issue I just had to skip some steps and to be honest it might be a problem with my computer but I did figure it out eventually w tutorial btw
what steps did you skip??
I get a pink screen and then an error occurs and I am directed to power off my console, anyone know how to fix this? I’ve tried multiple times with no success
Is the size of the SD card relevant (as in how much extra space it gives)? My console is pretty OG/old and only has a 4GB sd card built in. I want to know if I have to buy one with more space (and if so then how much of it?) or if I'm safe to go ahead.
you can do it with the 4GB! just know that it'll heavily limit the amount of ROMs and custom programs you can put on it. I would recommend upgrading first to give yourself that extra headroom, fortunately SD cards are really cheap these days!
@@akina309 heya, tysm for the reply! I've a follow-up question. I already did the whole hacking on the 4GB now, but if I want to upgrade to an SD card with more space, would that be possible in any way? Like copying the SD card files to the new one and then reinserting for example. Any help appreciated 👍
i did everything right, download games and all that jazz but the missed the part where i was supposed to cop and paste the "backup" to my desktop. Am i cooked?
Nah, you're not cooked. it's an insurance policy incase something gets borked later in the installation, but if everything went according to plan and it's working you're okay
Helloooo thanks for the video you are so helpful but before I do the modding I have some questions... first of all what I wanna do is play all of my Pokémon games and some of the Pokémon games that I don't have (for example emerald, platinum black 2 and others) with my og charizard from my leaf green game, I want to play all the games with this pokemon and its eggs lol😂..its a difficult challenge but I'll try ma best but the quest is can I transfer all the pokemons that I want to the modded games that ill download and after that can I be able to still send them to my switch games or is it impossible? Also can I download the Pokémon bank if I hack my 3ds or is it impossible now to get the Pokémon bank... thanks so much for the help you are the best!!!!
pokemon bank still works with the hacks, no problem there! as far as your other question goes, you'd just need to migrate that charizard or other pokemon from your Leaf green to a higher generation that matches the gen of the game you're trying to play. then, just trade it over from another system and it should work!
i got stop 12:30 because i don’t have space but it told me to move Nintendo 3DS file for space (using a 64g memory card)
most likely it work ask if you start for zero
Thank you , this is ligit
Everything went perfectly up until the Twilight menu section, I downloaded twilight menu and all that but the "roms" folder never showed up, what should I do?
once the console has been modified, is there a risk of transferring data with the SD card and inserting new game cards ?
inserting new game carts is no problem at all! I've also transferred data on and off of my microSD card with this hack setup and it's been totally fine, so I would say there's no big risk associated. Just make sure you only transfer game data, and leave all the default Nintendo and hacks folders in their place
I’m new so forgive my ignorance 😂, let’s say I back up my save files and the cart goes bad. Is it possible to transfer those save files to a new cart?
My 3dsxl has been hacked but i lost my sdcard. Can i skip any step?
For that, I would probably check around with forums online. That's a weird situation for sure, they also have their own discord where you can ask questions and people who are much more qualified can help with all of that stuff
Do you need a specific size SD card to do this? I only have a 2GB SD card which im considering upgrading anyway, but do you need a specific size? And also, if you swap out your SD card do you have to repeat the process of modding, and can it result in bricking your console from swapping out? Many thanks.
I dont believe this would work because the files you download for setup are more than 2 gb so you could try but it would be recommended to just get a bigger one beforehand.
@@ItsBerkeleyBrah thank you :)
you will need more than 2GB, unfortunately. 4GB is the bare minimum but I would recommend more. I've linked an SD and MicroSD in the description if you need!
