Have you removed the plate on the bottom of the device? You have to do that on the New 3DS XL, I’m not sure about the others. The video Russ made on the modding process will cover removing the SD card.
Such amazing work by the community to do this. Can’t even fathom how much time it took to create all this but I’m happy it exists and another great rgc video exists too!
H-shop is Noah's Arc for games that would otherwise dissapear. Archieve those games, because h-shop isn't eternal either. 3ds/ds games aren't that big of files, so that's nice. If Nintendo got its way and no ROMs were distributed : physical cartridges decay over time and those games would dissapear forever. Now the next problem is : who will manufacture double-screen hand-held consoles to replace the decaying DS and 2/3DS? Those came out quite a long time ago. The older ones will start breaking alot more.
my 3ds has a new lease on life thanks to the modding community. Honestly, I am experiencing a resurgence in this system and I am loving it! Thanks so much for such a comprehensive guide!
Here in 2024, i have bought a new 3ds xl, and lucky for me, it came with a DSTwo Cart. First thing i did was mod the 3ds, and now i am asking myself, where the hell i have been this whole time. This is awesome!
Good video Russ. Just an FYI: the Luma3DS CFW already unlocks the region-lock so that DSi-enhanced and 3DS games from any region will work, regardless of the origin country of the 3DS.
@@svcross-do yeah you’re right I’ve had some issues personally I’ve bricked my 3DS twice bc of cias not wanting to play and then permanently black screening my shit but I luckily had backups saved
So I went to dump 4 games in the ROMs/3ds file and it's saying "file too large for the destination file system" for one of the four games (Ultra Sun) when I clearly have enough space in my SD card. Any reason why?
The first part isn't entirely accurate. You say install to the 3DS. But the old 3DS has only 2GB of space, and you can install a lot more than that! So it's definitely using the SD card. What I can't figure out, is where. I know I could re-copy the cart to gm9\out and archive it, but I feel like I shouldn't have to copy it twice, given how long it takes. So... do you know where they are actually stored?
Hey Russ! I wanted to ask, after the 3DS is hacked, are you still able to login to your Nintendo account for the system or is it a no no? Games downloaded from the hshop, can they go online or is it a no no as well. Similar to how each cartridge is linked with a code or number on the switch, will the hshop download be flagged? Thanks my guy. You’ve become my go to for all things handheld and emulation.
I had used this guide a year ago but I stopped using my 2DS up until recently since I got a bigger sd card I added more games and completely forgot how to install them so thanks again for this video!
How I can download and play my DS games on 3DS ? I was able to dump my cartridges games into 3 micro SD card but I'm not sure if it applies to the DS games cartridges I have...
Is there a way to copy your already converted.3ds file extension hands to the device without putting it on the Home Screen? (Like in the roms / 3ds folder to access and play that way to not crowd your Home Screen? Thx again! Great vid as always! I only found 3vids for 3ds too? Will there be more??
I couldnt follow it. I did the jailbreak as stated on the 3DS Hacks, could install FBI, Anemone and the others, but i cant install cias in the FBI app anymore and I cant convert .3ds to .cia on GM9 as well. Does anyone know what could it be?
After pressing "Install game image" and the content appearing on the home screen, do you still need the .3ds file in the roms folder? Or are you free to delete it from the folder after it installs?
@RetroGameCorps Russ, did you ever end up getting that Japanese New 3DS system? If so, are you going to do any videos on that as well. Also being in the US, I am interested in a Japanese new 3ds/2ds and wondering if there are any differences. Thanks and keep up all the great videos!
I have a number of .3ds files. Another video shows you having to convert to .cia on the 3ds first, then use FBI to install. Does either method work? This method seems faster. Also, once it's installed do you delete the rom from the roms/3ds folder?
This is a helpful tutorial. But does anyone else have problems with wireless connection games. I try to play with my brother who uses a Ds but for somereason we cant connect.
Ive been running into this issue my self. At this point, my next step will be to convert the 3dsx file to a cia file, see if that does anything. Otherwise, hshope for those large games, or importing from actual physical game are good options. Let me know if you found a solution!
Hey man. I figured it out today. So, I had to get off my MAC, and reset my SD card (128gb) on a windows computer. Once that was done, I converted all my 3ds files to cia files. Once I transferred the cia files to the sd card, I got not error. I was able to transfer ultra sun and a few other large games.
I’m a little late, but I tried this with MK7 and when I did the 1st rom process, the thing was black, and when I clicked, it said that the SD was ejected, and asked me to reboot. My stuff got deleted. Am I stupid?
Why does mine just not show the option to install anything? I'm trying to install DS Roms onto my 2ds xl using godmode9, yet for some reason I'm unable to do anything with the files
install twilight menu on your 3ds, adds your ds roms to the SD card, and then use the twilight menu forwarder to put them on your homescreen. godmode9 cant install ds games
Dumb question. My 3ds doesn't have an sdcard? Im guessing it was the first generation of them with the small screen.
hi! have you figured it out yet? if not i'm here to help
It might be under the battery
Have you removed the plate on the bottom of the device? You have to do that on the New 3DS XL, I’m not sure about the others.
The video Russ made on the modding process will cover removing the SD card.
it doesn't come with the sd card, but for old 3ds the slot for one should be right under the volume controls.
Thanks for the video. Modded my 3ds and didn't know how to get games from that point.
Dude, can almost kiss you for making a written guide for us. Thank you!
Thank you Sir. you are a very good instructor. Please try and slow down a little bit in your practicals. thank you again.
@6:28 "find the 'any key' to exit" bruh lol
Such amazing work by the community to do this. Can’t even fathom how much time it took to create all this but I’m happy it exists and another great rgc video exists too!
💯
H-shop is Noah's Arc for games that would otherwise dissapear. Archieve those games, because h-shop isn't eternal either. 3ds/ds games aren't that big of files, so that's nice.

Do I just need to create a roms folder on the sd cart? because mine doesnt have one
please tell me you figured out what to do, im struggling lol
My PC is stucked after decrypting the 3ds file. I can't find the "any" key on my keyboard to continue...
You´re awesome
I dont have a 3ds but I watched your video, liked, and commented for the algorithm.
Thanks J B!
guide on how to transfer file sav on to this modded 3ds?
Hurry before Nintendo nukes the hshop into oblivion with all this publicity.
Yeah, I give it until the end of the month. Nintendo is really good at ending things through legal flexing.
Yep, is rather the hshop stayed on the DL. Guess I need to get my other 3ds modded before it goes away.
@@thesuperzfamilyvlog6607 it’s like every TH-camr discovered this all of the sudden, Nintendo won’t just sit by.
is this channel sponsored by Nintendo, hshop is definitely going to get shut down. thanks nob head
The app is open source. If the web backend (the website) is taken down, others might appear and can easily adapt the current app to the new site.
I am stuck. I am still looking for the "any"-key on my keyboard. Pls help. 🙃
Does anyone know if the cartridge will still work after installing the game to the system?
I was only joking about h shop on your video last week, didn't think you would make a video talking about it
Here in 2024, i have bought a new 3ds xl, and lucky for me, it came with a DSTwo Cart. First thing i did was mod the 3ds, and now i am asking myself, where the hell i have been this whole time. This is awesome!
how to transfer and backup save files?
Do you have to keep the rom files in your SD card after you install the games using godmode9 or can you delete those rom files to free us space?
there is also another called ghost eshop
Thank you for your new video I always appreciate them yous is ferda fresh
I recently modded my 3DS and I had no idea you could install you cartridges to the system so easily. Thanks for the video!
yooooou wouldnt happen to know a video to help with modding it would you?
@@BleedingFlameit’s very simple let me look for the video I used
@@BleedingFlamewith the written guide I was able to do it and I never done anything like modding before
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for for like a week now
7:24 sure... those file names look... suspiciously familiar
Yo bro. Can I save de Savefile from the gamecard too? I don't want play from new
“Find the Any key on your keyboard and press that.”
Nice Simpsons nod.
After installing rom 3DS, could we delete file install from the SD card ?
So i deleted pilotwings on my sd card but i can still play the game. how come?
I can't get to work for me it said the rom file can max size is less then 5GB
off topic but that sonic poster in the intro is SICK. where did you get it?
Good video Russ. Just an FYI: the Luma3DS CFW already unlocks the region-lock so that DSi-enhanced and 3DS games from any region will work, regardless of the origin country of the 3DS.
Some games can (and will have issues).😊
@@svcross-do yeah you’re right I’ve had some issues personally I’ve bricked my 3DS twice bc of cias not wanting to play and then permanently black screening my shit but I luckily had backups saved
@@svcross-doCare to elaborate? I haven't had a single problem with US games on my Jap 2DSXL.
Is there a way I could do it for multiple roms
thx bro
So I went to dump 4 games in the ROMs/3ds file and it's saying "file too large for the destination file system" for one of the four games (Ultra Sun) when I clearly have enough space in my SD card. Any reason why?
Great video, and thank god my keyboard had the "any" key.
“Where’s the any key!?” 😂
when i try download a game thru the hShop i get error codes?
Maybe no storage space?
The first part isn't entirely accurate. You say install to the 3DS. But the old 3DS has only 2GB of space, and you can install a lot more than that! So it's definitely using the SD card.

at 2:44 if you can do it with 3ds games can it be done with normal ds
I tried but it says NDS image options instead and doesnt work
And to install Nintendo Ds games on 3DS?
Even with the hshop, the save data transfer tool exists.
@@diplomate29 the hshop has a search bar.
😁
every time i try to install games, the install only gets so far before the timer slowly gets really long and eventually the install fails

Hello I have encountered a problem, when trying to install the game on godmod it fails, then it asks me to verify and thats the end, pls help
That happened to me aswell I’m so confused
@@micropig6098 hi, so while I haven't solved this problem , installing the games with FBI works just fine
@@hq3802 thanks I’ll try quickly now 👍
Can anyone tell me how to delete stuff off the home menu that I dont want? Like old game demos.
Wii U mod guide next? 👀
Is the "NCSD image option" not coming up for anyone else? That is not coming up for me, only the other four options.
I need the original card for downloading the game??
7:45 where
Sorry unrelater query.but can we play multiplayer retro games in fire sticks
I dont have a ROMS folder. What should I do?:(
just create a folder.,, roms"
I have the japanis 3ds and I don’t know what to do , I’ll be waiting for your video!
Thank you
Emulators are such a gift to gaming humanity.
And me, buying a flash cart (Ace 3ds X), have totally wasted my time, lol
but what if its a NDS game... what do i do :(
Thank You so much!
when I go into godmode 9 and select a rom, the "NCDS image options" doesn't show up. what can I do to fix this?
I don't have an "install game image" option when I click "NCSD image options". How can I play the rom?
I had used this guide a year ago but I stopped using my 2DS up until recently since I got a bigger sd card I added more games and completely forgot how to install them so thanks again for this video!
how do you dump the games onto your console that are ds games?
The timing of these videos is absolutely perfect, I recently purchased a 2DS and new 3DS XL coming this weekend and these guides are the best.
can I install ds game rom in 3ds?
6:30 caught me off guard hahaha
How I can download and play my DS games on 3DS ? I was able to dump my cartridges games into 3 micro SD card but I'm not sure if it applies to the DS games cartridges I have...
I know this is a far fetched question. Is there a download link for your game library?
The way you tip toe around internet piracy is amazing 👏
Yep.
Silly question, but any way to copy saves from cartridges while saving image icons?
Thank you so much for this guide! It helped tremendously :)
Love the "Any Key" Joke you added in there, lol. Great video and can't wait for the next one.
I laughed at it too. But it can certainly happen that some do not understand the joke and give up because they can not find Any Key 🙂
I'm thinking of perchesing a second 3ds for multi-player with my family and friends just want to know if 2 player works off of hshop
Great Video, Helped me a lot with installing a Randomizer. I now also know what ROM files are
I looked at Japanese 3ds's.. Is it hard to change the region on the console?

"So go ahead and find the 'Any' key on your keyboard and press that."
😂
CIA wont install for me. It will say its finished but nothing on the home screen
“Find the Any key, and press that”
Where the hell is the any key?!?!
Try a different keyboard! It's gotta be there somewhere!
how would you download the hshop if your 3ds camera doesn't work?
@RetroGameCorps Russ, did you ever end up getting that Japanese New 3DS system? If so, are you going to do any videos on that as well. Also being in the US, I am interested in a Japanese new 3ds/2ds and wondering if there are any differences. Thanks and keep up all the great videos!
I'm hoping someone is going to read this. If i modify a rom (mainly changing shiny odds for pokemon) will the 3ds still be able to run it?
I have a number of .3ds files. Another video shows you having to convert to .cia on the 3ds first, then use FBI to install. Does either method work? This method seems faster. Also, once it's installed do you delete the rom from the roms/3ds folder?
When you install a game from the cartridge where is the game data located on the SD card?
I have a pink 3ds just like this :) hat is the biggest SD card i can use for it?
128gb is a good size. make sure it is formatted to FAT32
Where's the any key? I'm stuck at the step where I need to find it.
I see control, option, and command. Is it close to those?
This is a helpful tutorial. But does anyone else have problems with wireless connection games. I try to play with my brother who uses a Ds but for somereason we cant connect.
Can i use my regular games i bought once in the 3ds ingame shop after i mod my 3ds?
i have a question i did everything and it works but i have one problem i cant find a cia file to put roms in it like my other 3ds that i moded
I can't find any key on my keyboard
Sorry, you'll have to shop around for a new keyboard then.
Hi there. Nice job.... Respekt.
Can u tell me pls how to instal a 4 gb rom?
Because i cannot copy on sd card since he is fat32.
