NOTE - I AM NOT AN EXPERT. For any issues you run into that I don't address in the video, check the troubleshooting guide on the website! 3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting
@@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
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!!!!
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
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.
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! ✨
you misplaced or didnt place the arm11code.bin file. make sure it is on the root of your sd card. the root means the file isnt inside of any folders. it should be able to see the 3ds file.
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!!
Still works!!! Make sure to follow the guide as well guys, as my process was slightly different using MacBook and their trouble shooting was very helpful
when you did it, did you have any trouble downloading python? I have it downloaded but the file won't load properly and im afraid im doing something wrong lol
@ I don’t think so no. Whenever I ran into a problem where I was stuck I went to the troubleshooting page and that helped fix my issues. Make sure to read it carefully
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.
I've heard of that happening - I think that has to do with it detecting a hardware change? It shouldn't affect functionality though. Glad the video helped!
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.
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 😢
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 :]
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💚
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
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
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
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 😎
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!
that's a step to try for sure! that's what fixed mine at least. Would definitely read through the text guide just to double-check your steps, and also they have a text guide there!
i ran into this issue but i discovered that i actually already did that step but i did it in a different way since i was following the guide in the link and not the video
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 there is! checks the hacks guide site for their instructions, they detail a way to change the button combination somewhere in the steps. This will let you get around a busted button
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
Akina309 it says during 7:52 "Cannot confirm the security certificate for this page. Allo9w connection anyway? I pressed yes and no, and it didn't work. Any solves? (my battery fell out during the homebrew launcher)
that's tough, there's no telling what progress is and isn't still there because of the battery falling out. May be worth trying to start over from scratch if you can't get it working, but I would try to check their troubleshooting guide first, and if that can't help, ask in their discord server
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..
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!
7:58 I keep getting that pop up, no matter what I do its so annoying, ive changed language 5 times and still same problem. EDIT: found the fix, some guy on discord helped me, basically you need to make sure your profile doesnt include your state, JUST that your from the US, and thats it
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!
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.
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?
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.
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
If you want to do it, follow the instructions on the website do NOT do it the mr akina way, I know him personally and he EXPLODED 💥 his friends 3ds 🙀🙀🙀
@@simonplaysanimations its very hard to mess up, but I understand the anxiety around modding. Highly recommend it though :D following this guide is fine as akina is following the 3ds hacks guide very closely and the discord/FAQ is a huge help. as long as you dont do anything you arent sure on, u should be good :)
@@simonplaysanimations I am also scared like you lol, I bought a 3DS XL in november 2022 just so I can make flipnotes! Tho, I have Flipnote Studio 3D and not the original Flipnote Studio. But I never had the courage to try hacking, so, I feel you. D:
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.
I need help I get stuck on a yellow screen trying to launch homebrew and I’ve tried almost everything recommended in the web page and almost everywhere else 😢
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
This isn’t related to the New 3DS , but was looking for help. When modding the old 3DS xl, in the “extra data” step when removing the SD card the screen doesn’t refresh and still shows the Mii data. Any help? Or am I SOL
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?
make sure your sd card is not locked. if it isnt, insert it into your pc, right click on it, then click properties. if it is in any format other than FAT32, you need to format it to FAT32. Backup all the data on your sd card before formatting, as formatting will wipe all data.
So I'm following the guide in the link but when I copy files to the micro SD it says I have to transfer it without its properties. This results in the .bin files not working. How do I resolve this?
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
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
the full button combo needed is L + Select + D-pad down. If that still doesn't work, make sure you check my steps and the hacks guide site for any missed steps.
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
once you homebrew the system you can make it region free, or change its region. There's several programs that do this, i would do a little research on your own and see what works for you!
If you haven't, try changing the system language like I did. If that doesn't help, the 3ds hacks site has a troubleshooting guide built into it, where you can see a lot of possible solutions
i don’t get anything you said after you installed the apps😭 like i understood how to download twilight menu but i don’t understand everything else after that. is it necessary to do? because i don’t understand
Hello! im currently installing twilight hehe but i have a question, is roms the only way to get free games in the modded 3ds? and if not, what is the other way?
you can download a program called HShop on any modded 3ds - this will let you download pretty much any 3ds game for completely free. Would check that out for 3ds titles!
Hey i kept getting the same error message you got every time and I did the same work around you did but kept receiving it, is there any other way or am i out of luck 😭😭😭😭

still working! would always follow the site I linked as well just in case though
i don't wanna hack my 3ds what if it breaks then i dont have a 3ds :(
Yeah don’t do it. Listen to this guy and it’s over for your 3ds, I know from experience.
If you want to do it, follow the instructions on the website do NOT do it the mr akina way, I know him personally and he EXPLODED 💥 his friends 3ds 🙀🙀🙀
@@mega-1427 yeah I just want flipnote studio so I can just buy a dsi :/
@@simonplaysanimations its very hard to mess up, but I understand the anxiety around modding. Highly recommend it though :D following this guide is fine as akina is following the 3ds hacks guide very closely and the discord/FAQ is a huge help. as long as you dont do anything you arent sure on, u should be good :)
@@simonplaysanimations I am also scared like you lol, I bought a 3DS XL in november 2022 just so I can make flipnotes! Tho, I have Flipnote Studio 3D and not the original Flipnote Studio. But I never had the courage to try hacking, so, I feel you. D:
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!
@@akina309 alrighty! thanks!
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.
@@ok-sq5rg modding your 3DS only affects the storage on the SD card, all the save data on your main storage shouldn’t be affected
My L and R buttons are broken, is there another way to access the camera to scan the QR code?
Try copying the URL!
I think you can manually type in the URL in the browser, it's a bit long but worth a try!
I need help I get stuck on a yellow screen trying to launch homebrew and I’ve tried almost everything recommended in the web page and almost everywhere else 😢
sammee did you fix yours?
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
This isn’t related to the New 3DS , but was looking for help. When modding the old 3DS xl, in the “extra data” step when removing the SD card the screen doesn’t refresh and still shows the Mii data. Any help? Or am I SOL
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?
8:59 after I did this step on the menu i got the Failed to mount the SD card! in red error, anyway to fix this?
make sure your sd card is not locked. if it isnt, insert it into your pc, right click on it, then click properties. if it is in any format other than FAT32, you need to format it to FAT32. Backup all the data on your sd card before formatting, as formatting will wipe all data.
DUDE the wallpaper on your PC is absolutely beautiful, could you let me know where I can get that?
it's actually an animated one from wallpaper engine! lol
super hewlpfull guide, i modded my 3ds xl yoshi edition flawlessly, but where do i put 3ds games in the roms folder? does that matter?
So right after installing a rom on the twilight menu I had something come up I hit save and continue and all the apps are gone except for twilight
I did everything right but when I pressed down on the d pad and the select button nothing showed up
the button combo should be L + select + D-pad down, that should work!
bro i need to have your pc wallpaper what is it?!?!
Awesome Stuff Mate,
with many tries i still have aa error has occured fter launching site any help?
So I'm following the guide in the link but when I copy files to the micro SD it says I have to transfer it without its properties. This results in the .bin files not working. How do I resolve this?
Does anyone know if the steps have changed since the video uploaded?
should still be the same! I still tell everyone to follow the guide I linked but the vid should still be accurate for all the New systems
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
having problems copying the otherapp.bin file to the sd card, its saying some properties cant be copied to the new location for some reason
If it says that, you can try and just ignore the message and let it not copy the properties
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
Everytime I do the go thing it kicks me out even when I change the language
what do i do when my ds says sd card not found?
Did you figure out what you need to do because I have the same problem
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
okay so i'm pressing the left bumper and select button but the rosalina menu ain't showing what's up with that
the full button combo needed is L + Select + D-pad down. If that still doesn't work, make sure you check my steps and the hacks guide site for any missed steps.
Thank you so much! Your guide was great!
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
Im planning on getting a japan 3ds xl and was wondering if i could change its region after modding? Or at least play other region games on it?
once you homebrew the system you can make it region free, or change its region. There's several programs that do this, i would do a little research on your own and see what works for you!
im still having trouble getting the colors to flash onto my screen
i keep getting the error popup
If you haven't, try changing the system language like I did. If that doesn't help, the 3ds hacks site has a troubleshooting guide built into it, where you can see a lot of possible solutions
@@akina309 i did try to change the language, didn’t help but thank you for the idea! I will try to find a solution on their website
i don’t get anything you said after you installed the apps😭 like i understood how to download twilight menu but i don’t understand everything else after that. is it necessary to do? because i don’t understand
Hello! im currently installing twilight hehe but i have a question, is roms the only way to get free games in the modded 3ds? and if not, what is the other way?
you can download a program called HShop on any modded 3ds - this will let you download pretty much any 3ds game for completely free. Would check that out for 3ds titles!
@@akina309 do i download it thru the software i used to download twilight menu?
@@akina309 also what website should i use for ds/gba roms?
Viewing this in October 2024, is this still relevant to the regular guide?
should still be relevant! would double check everything but nothing should have changed.
at 8:23 when I click GO GO!, I always get stuck on yellow followed by an error message. anyone know how to fix this issue?
check the 3ds hacks website, they have an entire troubleshooting guide linked in my pinned comment
Hey i kept getting the same error message you got every time and I did the same work around you did but kept receiving it, is there any other way or am i out of luck 😭😭😭😭
check the 3ds hacks guide's troubleshooting guide, it's linked in my pinned comment
@@akina309 Yeah I followed the troubleshooting guide and the same error kept popping up on me
Just wondering, did you use an adaptor for the micro sd card? If so where did you get it?
most microSD cards come with a microSD to SD adapter in the package, but i just use a little SD & MicroSD to USB reader plugged into my computer
Hey quick question , where do you get the rams files at ?
all files come from the 3ds hacks site I linked!
Is there a way to put the games on the screen and not open every time twilight?
For some reason it asks me to have a GBA bios file in the GBA folder. It won't play the game! Help!
ah, you'll need a GBA bios file to play some games. you can google it and they should be easy to find
