@10:38 Hello, im a Unity 3DS dev. As of Dec 31 2020, it is no longer possible to get a legitimate version of Unity for N3DS or even WiiU if you were interested in either platform. As of now, the only other way is to use the official 3DS sdk or use any available homebrew sdk. Apologies, and hope this helps.
depends. it's personal preference though. third party emulators have more options and only can take up 1 slot on the home menu, while each virtual console inject will take 1. it's good for people who have only a few games they want to inject, just not for people who have the entire console library at once. although i do like the crt w/console banner for each inject
All Virtual Console (Except the GBA and and digital NDS games) are emulation, the difference is that Nintendo's emulators are well optimized for the N3DS Unlike homebrew emulators

The homebrew scene for the 3DS at its peak absolutely cleared even the greats for modding like the Wii and OG Xbox. I don't think there will be another time in history where piracy on a console will be as ridiculously blatant and easy as it was on the 3DS. In 2016 Freeshop was the most busted tool imaginable, you could pirate any nintendo eShop game OFF OF THEIR OWN SERVERS and play them online. There was no ticket checking to ban you for using someone else's digital games, so as long as someone uploaded their ticket to a digital database you could use that ticket to download the game or dlc off of the eShop without losing any features. That's like the equivalent of going to Walmart, stealing something, and flipping off the security camera on the way out. The risk of getting banned back then was so low that people stopped using the clean sysnand/dirty emunand technique altogether. That all came to an end for obvious reasons, but being able to see something like that in a console's lifetime was absolutely wild My favorite QoL homebrew was probably Mario maker course downloader and the one that let you change the color of the spotpass LED

There are a lot of other mods for 3ds. For some reason, they are just hard to find. There is a mod for dragon quest 8 that allows you to get the original orchestral soundtrack instead of the one we got. There is a mod called majora’s mask project restoration that makes majora’s mask 3D the best version of the game by far. I wish this info like this was much more available.
Just sayin the New 3DS doesn't have a faster CPU, it actually has the same one... it just has 2 of them, so it has more overall RAM to work with and can fit more into RAM at any given time (hence why games like xenoblade require it due to the sheer size of the game, in order to handle draw distance, enemies, etc. for example)
Yes and No. Yes it does have more cores overall (Dual Core on the O3DS to Quad Core on the N3DS). Also yes it's the same CPU, but no it was clocked higher at 804Mhz vs. the 268Mhz of the original. Hyrule Warriors is interesting since it's basically a N3DS game that they let you run on old systems. It runs like a dog on the old systems, basically 20fps and under all the time. N3DS runs it at a super stable 30fps in comparison, the performance only notably drops with 3D (and that's probably a GPU bottleneck anyway since it's unchanged between both systems).

Yeah, I use it instead of virtual console too. For some reason on my 3ds the injected virtual console gba games have a weird visual glitch where the bottom of the screen is at the top
You can also inject PSX games onto your 3ds I've the n3ds xl and not _all_ games run fast or at all on it, but I'm still content with it. I was able to (almost) finish Final Fantasy Tactics (before I got tired of grinding) and it ran almost perfectly save for the sound stuttering sometimes. There was also an issue where the game would crash and I'd lose my save data for no reason but I got into the habit of saving the state after I saved my actual game so it's fine
@@juliolovestacos From what I see here: restoration.zora.re/ It tweaks damage values and controls to be more faithful to the OG N64 release, modifies boss fights, and adds various quality-of-life features, not sure if that question was directed at me but I got a notification from the reply so screw it lol.
Thanks to Xash3D, the first Half-Life and its expansions can be played on 3DS, and you can also play mods for it just like the PC version. Online multiplayer kinda works. You can connect to some online servers, but it doesn't play nice with custom assets. There are also some minor mods for the handheld Kingdom Hearts games
Ps1 games via retroarch are quite playable, i have recently installed it to play Ape Escape, which is a nostalgic game to me. Plays pretty well after some tinkering with the settings. Quite impressed with that, but it requires the new 3ds. Will have to try more nostalgic games.
great vid!!! for making 3ds games, theres also a version of rpgmaker available on the 3ds i was able to pick up!! it requires a separate player app i believe (havent gotten around to using it yet), but its still available and another good idea for anyone else wanting to make their own ds games!! ill have to get some of the stuff you listed in this video, i was literally talking about putting doom on my 3ds earlier

You forgot that for the emulation part for most of the consoles listed you could just use the new super ultimate virtual console injector, which turns roms from various consoles (even the wanderswan and neo geo pocket, and psx for some reason) into cias to install directly into your 3ds homescreen, and they function practically just like actual virtual console games, now i have mother 3 on my 3ds and it works flawlessly because it's using the 3ds's built in emulator. Wanderswan ran surprisingly well, neo geo pocket had audio issues but otherwise ran smoothly, and psx was very shaky, but hell, it worked. Also, my brother in christ, the ammount of mods out there for the 3ds fire emblem games is astonishing, how did you not see em, there's ones that just straight up are their own games. And finally there is an english translation for the 3ds japanese only port of final fantasy, which is pretty neat.
1:35 I'm pretty sure that's because nintendo ninja will try to take down that stuff as soon as it releases but if a console is dead or something they don't care about anymore they likely will not care cause it doesn't catch their attention
Thanks for a wonderful video! I'd like to add my $0.02 to the mix :) 3DS homebrew also includes some really amazing emulators for old 8-bit computers. Some of the best ones include ZXDS for ZX Spectrum emulation (which is T-state accurate), Vice3DS which is a really faithful and awesome port of Vice that emulates Commodore 64. There's also uae3ds which emulates Amiga 500, and while it's not completely finished and not fully compatible with all the titles, it can run quite a good number of A500 games at full speed and with good graphics and sound/music. On the emulation side, RetroArch isn't actually as bad as they say it is for certain scenarios, at least on New 2DS/3DS. In particular, Genesis emulation via Genesis Plus GX works very well (and runs full speed at least for most games), my experience with it was better than Picodrive for certain games. PS1 emulation via PCSX Rearmed is really amazing (and surprising!) once you tweak the settings (there's a guide on gbatemp, you can get many 3D games including the likes of Tekken 3 to run at full or near-full speed most of the time with no sound stuttering; it takes some time to configure things and ideally you need to convert the images to .chd format, but once you do it, it runs surprisingly well, and tbh it doesn't even take that much time to do it). TwilightMenu is a really decent homebrew app that runs DS games natively on a 3DS. It can also run DS homebrew natively, at least the majority of it - e.g. I was able to play the VanillaConquer C&C port for DS on my New 2DS through it.
I think another one that should be mentioned is the Ocarina of Time Randomizer App that you can use to.... Randomize the entire game as many times as you want. You just make sure to enable Patching in Luma and it works flawlessly
There are mods for every single one of the Gen 6 and 7 Pokemon games, and they can make those games FAR more difficult than they are by default. Pokemon Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire come to mind. That's Pokemon for you though, having a fan base so dedicated to the game and its mechanics that there are mods or romhacks of all 9 Generations and even some of the spin-off titles like the 2 Gamecube games, Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness.
An emulator you missed, and the reason I bought a 3DS (a 'New' 3DS XL) is Vice3DS, a port of the popular Commodore 64 emulator. It works very well on the 'new' 3DS and 3DS XL. I understand that it can be slow on the original 3DS models, although I haven't personally tried it on one. The dual-screen device makes for a nice handheld C64 as the top screen shows the normal screen output and the touchscreen has a virtual keyboard always available, plus some shortcuts for emulator functions. There is even an emulator for the Vectrex! Not tried it yet, and I have never even seen a Vectrex in the flesh, so can't comment on how well it works.
Really cool to see you comment! I’ve been meaning to give animal crossing a whirl for a long time and it’s probably time I bit the bullet. Thanks for commenting and, well, literally *making* the mod! What you do is wizardry to me and it’s awesome.
The best way to do just about any emulation for 3ds has to be the Virtual Console. Runs like *butter* if you're running something like a randomized rom of a game and it'd be a pain to delete from virtual console, there is the option to use open_agb. It's run by holding Select while powering the system up, similarly to gm9, and uses the Virtual DS mode to run the games. I swear, open_agb is better than some emulators some times.
so i have harvest moon 1-3 from the shop and theyre virtual console. makes me wonder if i can get it from the shop why would i get like a gameboy emulator for example..
On the New Nintendo 3DS (non-XL), you can just leave the screws undone. They still stay flush with the case, and it holds itself on just fine without them.
Not really a stupid question, it's fair tbh. Nintendo's official FTP service is only verified to work with windows 7 and windows 8.1 whilst Super FTP should work with any OS. Also, Old 3ds models don't have Nintendo's official FTP service.
Great video for anyone looking into getting the most out of their console. My circle pad also disintegrated suddenly, lol. It somewhat works, but I should replace it somehow. Is there any app/mod that allows you to easily streetpass a VIP mii or something? Or to get extra play coins? I'm slightly annoyed that I can't complete my 3D puzzles. Also, I can understand why you didn't mention it in the video but hshop is pretty nice. You can download games directly to the 3DS, although the download speed is very slow.
I know this is a slightly old comment, but Checkpoint has a built-in play coin feature, just hold select for the options and there's a little play coin symbol on the top right of the touch screen. Tap that and you can input a number to just have that many play coins.
@@Lucas-Amaterasu Hmm, that sounds pretty nice, although the convenience of an app that can quickly just give you the max amount is very nice, especially if you are playing streetpass games.
Out of curiosity what is the advantage to the FTP file transfer over the 3ds' built in method of remote access to the sd card? I've had a hacked new 3ds and I only had to unscrew for the initial setup since that can't be done over the built in file transfer. Otherwise I always use it to add files.
We really need an actually functioning virtual boy emulator, sure the virtual boy was trash, but the 3ds should've been the definitive way to play these games. To bad the current emulator might as well not exist
homebrew before a console dies: ok just add the homebrew launcher homebrew when a console dies: *puts like 10000000000000000000000000 homebrew related stuff*
There’s a boat load of mods for rhythm heaven megamix that either add things such as joke levels, or entire recreations of levels from previous entries in the series to even wholly original games made by fans.
2:55 Doing that could actually damage your console That method makes it so instead of using the dsi "inside" your 3ds to run those games, it uses the same processor as the 3DS itself, which means is basically emulating it without being powerful enough to actually endure it for long No much will happen for a while, that stuff damages it until some months of constantly playing like that
Cool video, Mate, thank you for the info, I learned some new things after years of homebrewing my new 3DS, for sure gonna play mania on 3DS, I always joked that Mania could be playable on the Saturn, or probably Dreamcast, that would be really interesting to find out if anyone attempts a port to either one.
A third way to get your own games on 3DS is to create a game for an older system and then emulate them. NESmaker is a Windows problem for easy creation of NES games and GB Studio is likewise for Game Boy and GBC.
I'm pretty sure there exist tools that allow you to make something with LOVE2d and then get it running on a 3ds, I might actually look more into it myself
I was an insane person who really claimed I didn't want a 3DS. Then, i got one for my birthday anyway. I hope to never forget my 3DS Streetpass Journey. It was an experience.
You say that retroarch is bad, and it is, but it's currently the ONLY way to play most of the PS1 library at full speed on a New 3DS! It's... insanely impressive, actually, and I'm very sad that I'm forced to put up with Retroarch just to use it. Still definitely worth mentioning, though.
In the time it took for me to make this video, Third Tube got old 3ds support, the Mario 64 port ran like a slide show initially when I tried it on my old 3ds but I've been made aware they optimized it or smth and now it runs decently, the above-stated compatibility information in this video are out of date and I've updated the description accordingly as stuff pops up. (I never claimed that only new models work with the NSMB2 Mods and Mario Expedition so those remain correct) Also, PS1 Emulation is apparently a stable thing now on 3ds? Still not too educated on that, I feel old. The homebrew scene moves too fast and I move too slow, sorry for the inconvenience.
We've also got an OOT3DS Randomizer as well that runs on original hardware. There's been some work on a MM3DS Randomizer, but I'm honestly not sure what's up with it
I'm terrified of starting to mod my old 3DS XL because I only really want Pokémon Bank and Transporter, the rest would be nice benefits. I don't want to brick it and I'm worried about the authenticity of stuff like hshop
Some new ones on here like that animal crossing mod and extra world for 3D land but the most relevant ones I have already installed, as for emulators there are far better options that are still portable on the go and works all the way up to psp and even GameCube so I will pass on those lot lol cool video overall
I can’t get Linux on 3ds to work. It’ll boot up and when I go to type in the username and password it will let me type the username but when I press enter to switch to the password it will move the cursor to the password section but won’t let me type until it times out and goes back to inputting username
Another good mod is Yo-kai Watch Blasters++! I’m a HUGE and I mean HUGE fan of Yo-kai Watch (Like consider it my favorite game) and Blasters++ just adds more game to play.
What do you mean by “old” 3ds models? I have a 3ds XL, is that considered “old” because they’re not the “new” 3ds’s? Or do you literally mean older models. 3ds names are so confusing
I'm not sure about thirdtube tbh, when you try to use the camera when the app is open it says thirdtube is using the camera...why does it need to use the camera??
Very informative video! Good job. However, I have a gripe. It would get confusing at times because you'd be talking about something but showing a LOT of unrelated footage. I suggest if you're using unrelated footage, you should stick with that rather than constantly shifting between related and unrelated footage. It made it jarring to watch at times.
Totally agree with you, in hindsight I deeply regret not recording more of the actual game ports and emulators, a couple more screenshots would’ve went a looooonnnngggg way as well, I’ll keep this in mind for future videos, thanks!
@@SuperAwesomeGuy I do too get confused when the emulator part show footage of camera and mii maker. I like the beginning part also with the cursed nintendo is on point, but in the serious, topical part of the video i think i would like it more to see related footage, even a still image in longer pause rather than having unrelated videos or in this case the problem is the background footage transitioning back and forth. The narration is great and informative keep it up, may you find success in the future 😁

Addition to the game mods: There is a OoT3D randomizer that you can generates runs right on the system.
Wait There Is? How Do You Do It?
your a menace for this video editing😂💀😭 its amazing, the fuckin random ass jpg of the split new 2ds killed me💀😂😂😂
You can also inject PSX games onto your 3ds
I've the n3ds xl and not _all_ games run fast or at all on it, but I'm still content with it. I was able to (almost) finish Final Fantasy Tactics (before I got tired of grinding) and it ran almost perfectly save for the sound stuttering sometimes. There was also an issue where the game would crash and I'd lose my save data for no reason but I got into the habit of saving the state after I saved my actual game so it's fine
one thing you forgot to mention in the game mods is the majoras mask patch that makes the game much more enjoyable but other than that good video!
Oh yeah I totally missed that, thx for sharing!
It helps like performance or quality of life things?
@@juliolovestacos From what I see here: restoration.zora.re/ It tweaks damage values and controls to be more faithful to the OG N64 release, modifies boss fights, and adds various quality-of-life features, not sure if that question was directed at me but I got a notification from the reply so screw it lol.
@@juliolovestacos should I play the original games or the modded 3ds version?
Just saying: Retroarch's ps1 emulator can run games like Spyro 1 and 2 VERY Well considering, like it's actually playable at roughly 15 fps
This is cool thanks for taking the time to research the games with mods available.
Thanks to Xash3D, the first Half-Life and its expansions can be played on 3DS, and you can also play mods for it just like the PC version. Online multiplayer kinda works. You can connect to some online servers, but it doesn't play nice with custom assets. There are also some minor mods for the handheld Kingdom Hearts games
"Anemone" Bro your pronunciation killed me.
Ps1 games via retroarch are quite playable, i have recently installed it to play Ape Escape, which is a nostalgic game to me. Plays pretty well after some tinkering with the settings. Quite impressed with that, but it requires the new 3ds. Will have to try more nostalgic games.
yeah id say only get retroarche for ps1 on 3ds but even then its only a few games can run
great vid!!! for making 3ds games, theres also a version of rpgmaker available on the 3ds i was able to pick up!! it requires a separate player app i believe (havent gotten around to using it yet), but its still available and another good idea for anyone else wanting to make their own ds games!! ill have to get some of the stuff you listed in this video, i was literally talking about putting doom on my 3ds earlier
hello soup do you know anything about modding existing 3ds games? or how to make homebrew like the above?
@@cricksol i know very little, but i know how to edit the town layout in acnl and other small mods like that !! what game were you trying to mod ? i might still be able to help ^^
@@getsouped thanks so much for your response! im trying to mod tomodachii life. i got about as far as getting the machine code for the encrypted cxi but I couldn’t figure out how to decode it/ compile it :(
@@cricksol what mod are u trying to install ? and im assuming ur modding from a digital copy of the game right ? it might take me a little time but i can try to figure it out for u and give u a step-by-step !! :D
You forgot that for the emulation part for most of the consoles listed you could just use the new super ultimate virtual console injector, which turns roms from various consoles (even the wanderswan and neo geo pocket, and psx for some reason) into cias to install directly into your 3ds homescreen, and they function practically just like actual virtual console games, now i have mother 3 on my 3ds and it works flawlessly because it's using the 3ds's built in emulator.
Wanderswan ran surprisingly well, neo geo pocket had audio issues but otherwise ran smoothly, and psx was very shaky, but hell, it worked.
Also, my brother in christ, the ammount of mods out there for the 3ds fire emblem games is astonishing, how did you not see em, there's ones that just straight up are their own games.
And finally there is an english translation for the 3ds japanese only port of final fantasy, which is pretty neat.
1:35 I'm pretty sure that's because nintendo ninja will try to take down that stuff as soon as it releases but if a console is dead or something they don't care about anymore they likely will not care cause it doesn't catch their attention
Muchas gracias por el video mi querido hombre super asombroso :D
SNES runs perfect on New 3DS/2DS.
GBA is completely native on any 3DS, too (actually any handheld from Nintendo since the GBA except for the Switch)
Thanks for a wonderful video! I'd like to add my $0.02 to the mix :) 3DS homebrew also includes some really amazing emulators for old 8-bit computers. Some of the best ones include ZXDS for ZX Spectrum emulation (which is T-state accurate), Vice3DS which is a really faithful and awesome port of Vice that emulates Commodore 64. There's also uae3ds which emulates Amiga 500, and while it's not completely finished and not fully compatible with all the titles, it can run quite a good number of A500 games at full speed and with good graphics and sound/music. On the emulation side, RetroArch isn't actually as bad as they say it is for certain scenarios, at least on New 2DS/3DS. In particular, Genesis emulation via Genesis Plus GX works very well (and runs full speed at least for most games), my experience with it was better than Picodrive for certain games. PS1 emulation via PCSX Rearmed is really amazing (and surprising!) once you tweak the settings (there's a guide on gbatemp, you can get many 3D games including the likes of Tekken 3 to run at full or near-full speed most of the time with no sound stuttering; it takes some time to configure things and ideally you need to convert the images to .chd format, but once you do it, it runs surprisingly well, and tbh it doesn't even take that much time to do it). TwilightMenu is a really decent homebrew app that runs DS games natively on a 3DS. It can also run DS homebrew natively, at least the majority of it - e.g. I was able to play the VanillaConquer C&C port for DS on my New 2DS through it.
Hopefully homebrew will help the 3ds live longer and with pretendo the online will live on
I think another one that should be mentioned is the Ocarina of Time Randomizer App that you can use to.... Randomize the entire game as many times as you want. You just make sure to enable Patching in Luma and it works flawlessly
There are mods for every single one of the Gen 6 and 7 Pokemon games, and they can make those games FAR more difficult than they are by default. Pokemon Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire come to mind.
That's Pokemon for you though, having a fan base so dedicated to the game and its mechanics that there are mods or romhacks of all 9 Generations and even some of the spin-off titles like the 2 Gamecube games, Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness.
An emulator you missed, and the reason I bought a 3DS (a 'New' 3DS XL) is Vice3DS, a port of the popular Commodore 64 emulator. It works very well on the 'new' 3DS and 3DS XL. I understand that it can be slow on the original 3DS models, although I haven't personally tried it on one. The dual-screen device makes for a nice handheld C64 as the top screen shows the normal screen output and the touchscreen has a virtual keyboard always available, plus some shortcuts for emulator functions.
There is even an emulator for the Vectrex! Not tried it yet, and I have never even seen a Vectrex in the flesh, so can't comment on how well it works.
playing super mario 64 at 60fps and using the entire 800x240p of resolution is awesome
I'm mentioned in this video and I like it! :D
Man you should give Animal Crossing a try! :)
Really cool to see you comment! I’ve been meaning to give animal crossing a whirl for a long time and it’s probably time I bit the bullet. Thanks for commenting and, well, literally *making* the mod! What you do is wizardry to me and it’s awesome.
I missed the super mario 3D land mod completely. Thank you!
The best way to do just about any emulation for 3ds has to be the Virtual Console. Runs like *butter*
if you're running something like a randomized rom of a game and it'd be a pain to delete from virtual console, there is the option to use open_agb. It's run by holding Select while powering the system up, similarly to gm9, and uses the Virtual DS mode to run the games.
I swear, open_agb is better than some emulators some times.
so i have harvest moon 1-3 from the shop and theyre virtual console. makes me wonder if i can get it from the shop why would i get like a gameboy emulator for example..
if you just homebrewed your DS for the first time watch this video it helped me so much lmao
Thanks for the kind words, glad it helped you!
On the New Nintendo 3DS (non-XL), you can just leave the screws undone. They still stay flush with the case, and it holds itself on just fine without them.
I wish I knew about the circle pad hack earlier. I just got through playing Mario 64 DS recently. Almost rage quit more than once.
I have a stupid question. Why is ftp homebrew even a thing when you can do the same thing out of the box directly within console settings?
for old 3ds
Not really a stupid question, it's fair tbh. Nintendo's official FTP service is only verified to work with windows 7 and windows 8.1 whilst Super FTP should work with any OS. Also, Old 3ds models don't have Nintendo's official FTP service.
@@SuperAwesomeGuy you are able to use it you just have to enable a legacy thingy, tpm 1.0 or something
@@restingcomet tpm 1.0 is considered outdated and unsafe. Microsoft has it disabled by default for a reason.
Great video for anyone looking into getting the most out of their console. My circle pad also disintegrated suddenly, lol. It somewhat works, but I should replace it somehow. Is there any app/mod that allows you to easily streetpass a VIP mii or something? Or to get extra play coins? I'm slightly annoyed that I can't complete my 3D puzzles. Also, I can understand why you didn't mention it in the video but hshop is pretty nice. You can download games directly to the 3DS, although the download speed is very slow.
www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Gimme_300_coins_3DS.
Can't believe I forgot this, this is the app I use to cheese more play coins.
@@SuperAwesomeGuy Thanks a ton, mate! That will definitely come in handy.
I know this is a slightly old comment, but Checkpoint has a built-in play coin feature, just hold select for the options and there's a little play coin symbol on the top right of the touch screen. Tap that and you can input a number to just have that many play coins.
@@Lucas-Amaterasu Hmm, that sounds pretty nice, although the convenience of an app that can quickly just give you the max amount is very nice, especially if you are playing streetpass games.
I really hope that streetpass could get some custom games.
🤨
Out of curiosity what is the advantage to the FTP file transfer over the 3ds' built in method of remote access to the sd card? I've had a hacked new 3ds and I only had to unscrew for the initial setup since that can't be done over the built in file transfer. Otherwise I always use it to add files.
The built in method is only verified by Nintendo to work with windows 7 or windows 8.1. Whereas Super FTP allows for pretty much any OS.
@@SuperAwesomeGuy oh ok, I never had issues on windows 10 but I guess that’s good potential future proofing
We really need an actually functioning virtual boy emulator, sure the virtual boy was trash, but the 3ds should've been the definitive way to play these games. To bad the current emulator might as well not exist
I have an old 3ds so I couldn't use the newest version of thirdtube, but was able to use release v0.5.0
homebrew before a console dies: ok just add the homebrew launcher
homebrew when a console dies: *puts like 10000000000000000000000000 homebrew related stuff*
It's painful how historical this video feels.
i was looking for a vid like this
There’s a boat load of mods for rhythm heaven megamix that either add things such as joke levels, or entire recreations of levels from previous entries in the series to even wholly original games made by fans.
2:55 Doing that could actually damage your console
That method makes it so instead of using the dsi "inside" your 3ds to run those games, it uses the same processor as the 3DS itself, which means is basically emulating it without being powerful enough to actually endure it for long
No much will happen for a while, that stuff damages it until some months of constantly playing like that
Does it? I thought it's just using a title slot to launch TW Menu. Does NDS-Bootstrapper carry the same risk?
The half-life port runs pretty well on the New 3DS
Cool video, Mate, thank you for the info, I learned some new things after years of homebrewing my new 3DS, for sure gonna play mania on 3DS, I always joked that Mania could be playable on the Saturn, or probably Dreamcast, that would be really interesting to find out if anyone attempts a port to either one.
A third way to get your own games on 3DS is to create a game for an older system and then emulate them. NESmaker is a Windows problem for easy creation of NES games and GB Studio is likewise for Game Boy and GBC.
That 1st frame of doom running on potatoes... 💀💀💀
Please tell me there's something amazing for Monster Hunter in Homebrew
And Minecraft
I'm pretty sure there exist tools that allow you to make something with LOVE2d and then get it running on a 3ds, I might actually look more into it myself
I was an insane person who really claimed I didn't want a 3DS. Then, i got one for my birthday anyway. I hope to never forget my 3DS Streetpass Journey. It was an experience.
thank you for including my mod in your video
Really cool to see you comment, thank you!
You say that retroarch is bad, and it is, but it's currently the ONLY way to play most of the PS1 library at full speed on a New 3DS!
It's... insanely impressive, actually, and I'm very sad that I'm forced to put up with Retroarch just to use it. Still definitely worth mentioning, though.
*wondering how i have multiple of the listed mods on my O3DS when they aren't supported*
In the time it took for me to make this video, Third Tube got old 3ds support, the Mario 64 port ran like a slide show initially when I tried it on my old 3ds but I've been made aware they optimized it or smth and now it runs decently, the above-stated compatibility information in this video are out of date and I've updated the description accordingly as stuff pops up. (I never claimed that only new models work with the NSMB2 Mods and Mario Expedition so those remain correct) Also, PS1 Emulation is apparently a stable thing now on 3ds? Still not too educated on that, I feel old. The homebrew scene moves too fast and I move too slow, sorry for the inconvenience.
We've also got an OOT3DS Randomizer as well that runs on original hardware. There's been some work on a MM3DS Randomizer, but I'm honestly not sure what's up with it
You missed another port:
Diablo 1 has a port as well through the DevilutionX engine
6:24 you can also emulate PS1 games but it has to be with retroarch as far as I'm aware.
Project Thabes for Fire emblem awakening is fantastic
Don't think I've heard that pronunciation of "anemone" lol
from my experience retroarch and other emulators running perfectly on my old 2ds no tweaking just working straight away
I'm terrified of starting to mod my old 3DS XL because I only really want Pokémon Bank and Transporter, the rest would be nice benefits. I don't want to brick it and I'm worried about the authenticity of stuff like hshop
From my experience the best way to emulate nintendo stuff on old 3ds is through vc injections
Underrated video. Great work!
Thanks!
I was like. Nah people really buy multiple consoles that can't be true. Then i remembered i have a dsi, 3ds, and new 3ds xl..
you earned a subscriber, amazing content
Thanks! Appreciate it!
"Ann-eh-moan" at 2:38 made me lol
5:49 Daedalusx64 is actually Available on the old 3ds consoles right now
Actually retroArch with PSX core works very well on "new" models, pretty every game with some exceptions.
Some new ones on here like that animal crossing mod and extra world for 3D land but the most relevant ones I have already installed, as for emulators there are far better options that are still portable on the go and works all the way up to psp and even GameCube so I will pass on those lot lol cool video overall
i ordered a japanese 3ds the other day and it came in when this was uploaded lmfao thats wild
Adding to that, this video was posted on the Japanese 3ds release date.
at 1:02 you used a greater than sign opposed to a lesser than sign like you wanted to use
hey so I do remember installing mario 64 on my old 3ds. It just ran at like 20 FPS.
2:25
"Machine, did you know it's surprisingly easy to hack your 3DS?
Minos prime cried, "Oh gabriel, you will brick your 3DS", but I did so anyway".
I can’t get Linux on 3ds to work. It’ll boot up and when I go to type in the username and password it will let me type the username but when I press enter to switch to the password it will move the cursor to the password section but won’t let me type until it times out and goes back to inputting username
Another good mod is Yo-kai Watch Blasters++! I’m a HUGE and I mean HUGE fan of Yo-kai Watch (Like consider it my favorite game) and Blasters++ just adds more game to play.
What do you mean by “old” 3ds models? I have a 3ds XL, is that considered “old” because they’re not the “new” 3ds’s? Or do you literally mean older models. 3ds names are so confusing
Can you help me how to delete Homebrew games on 3DS and deleting failed download on Ghost eShop that eats my 3DS spaces?
I got that gold triforce one! Shoutout to my older brother
You can totally play the Super Mario 64 Decomp port on old 3DS and it runs perfectly fine with no stutters. You just gotta pick uo the newest version
You can also play PS1 games on the new 3ds!
I'm not sure about thirdtube tbh, when you try to use the camera when the app is open it says thirdtube is using the camera...why does it need to use the camera??
Very informative video! Good job. However, I have a gripe. It would get confusing at times because you'd be talking about something but showing a LOT of unrelated footage. I suggest if you're using unrelated footage, you should stick with that rather than constantly shifting between related and unrelated footage. It made it jarring to watch at times.
Totally agree with you, in hindsight I deeply regret not recording more of the actual game ports and emulators, a couple more screenshots would’ve went a looooonnnngggg way as well, I’ll keep this in mind for future videos, thanks!
@@SuperAwesomeGuy You definitely have a lot of potential. Keep it up and you'll definitely find success!
@@jong7100 Glad to hear! Thanks!
@@SuperAwesomeGuy I do too get confused when the emulator part show footage of camera and mii maker. I like the beginning part also with the cursed nintendo is on point, but in the serious, topical part of the video i think i would like it more to see related footage, even a still image in longer pause rather than having unrelated videos or in this case the problem is the background footage transitioning back and forth. The narration is great and informative keep it up, may you find success in the future 😁
THIS VIDEO IS TOO GOOOOOD
THANK YOU!!!
