    The 3DS and WiiU eshop has officially shut down. Which means a LOT of content is going away and never to be seen again. But what if I told you that you can keep your 3DS living a very happy life even after Nintendo abandoned it? I'm going to show you how to mod your 3DS, 2DS, 3DXL and more, and show you the best mods for the 3DS, how emulation works, the best home-brew applications, and even answer some common questions like if you can get banned on a 3DS, and if its hard to still mod your 3DS in 2023!

    The thing about the 3DS and Wii U is that Nintendo literally can't tell the difference between a pirated game and legit game if you play online. It's fully safe to play online with pirated games and the bans came from people playing games online before they released which was only possible via piracy, so Nintendo knew who to ban.

    • @cosmicsvids
      @cosmicsvids Год назад +230

      does not really matter if you get banned at this point as the playerbase is dead for most games and you cannot buy anything on the eshop so theres no loss at this point if you get banned. The gts in the pokemon got ruined by hackers so theres no point in that either.

In any case you won't get banned for something as simple as playing a pirated game online. I even played games exclusive to other regions online back in the day and nothing happened lol.

    It’s also worth mentioning that with the little green app not only can you download games, but you can also download pre existing themes that were officially made by Nintendo. Any themes you could download from the 3DS theme shop can be downloaded through the green app. The only drawback is that theyre installed to your custom 3DS theme app and not shown in the official 3DS theme library. But what makes up for it is that any region locked official themes can be downloaded to your current version of your 3DS. As in themes you could only obtain on European & Asian 3DS’S can be obtained on American 3DS’S and vice versa.

    The green app is a necessity, if you forgot to update a game, or you buy a new game cart, or for basically any reason have a not-fully-updated game, you may be stuck on that version officially. Thankfully, our friendly green app includes the latest updates for basically every game (as far as I can tell). I would consider this the most unambiguously good feature, since it's just free updates anyways and it applies to basically every game.

    For anyone reading this, it should be noted that a lot of the 3DS modding community actually recommends a 128 GB microSD card, rather than 256 GB.
    This is because the 3DS scans the entire card when loading content and on boot, and this can increase load times -- making 128 GB the sweet spot of storage space vs. load times.

    Finally! I’m so tired of all these vids of people buying every 3DS game possible before eshop closes. Not only it’s precisely what Nintendo wants you to do but also a waste of money. They’re willingly preventing you from getting these games legally (it’s not like they’re getting money from second-hand catridge sales either) so in my book there’s no harm in just doing this now. Plus modding allows for a lot of other cool stuff, like modding your games or playing fantranslations of never localized games.

    2:06 - I learned to homebrew in a single day and changed to a larger card not thinking that I'd need the extra space. It was actually pretty easy to simply copy over files from one card to another on a computer. Had to find a workaround to formatting to a FAT32 64gb cluster size on the new card though. Keeping my old card as a backup I guess. Tried to boot the console without my SD card to test it out and I didn't know what to do from the homebrew menu lol.

      You most likely won’t get banned now that the eshop is closed. Also players have gotten banned by nintendo because they noticed the players were playing games before release which means it was pirated. That’s why they got banned. Nintendo actually doesn’t notice the difference between a pirated game and a real game when online. (If game has already been released)

    Honestly, the only issue with a Japanese 3ds is that region swapping locks you out of the eshop (at least with the "new" models, the original 3ds doesn't have as much of an issue I don't think), which might not sound important as it's shut down, but you lose access to certain apps like Pokebank so you can't transfer over your old Pokémon to Nintendo's servers. Considering Dexit and all that, you may not even care all that much, but it's just something to be aware of because unless you have a second, same region and model, 3ds which you can do some funky transfer stuff to get access to the eshop region you want, you lose access to certain features.

    It's not usually recommended to go above 128GB for your sd cards.
    I have one in mine, and themes just wouldn't work right. it would always revert back to the default white. No custom themes worked, and even official ones only worked after opening and closing some form of software. I'm not sure if there's a way to fix this, but I've heard of this as a pretty common issue. I formatted the card as a 128GB partition, and it works perfectly again.
    Let's be honest, you're not going to fill up all that space any time soon anyway.

      It used to be really stagnant, with the only options being Mocha, which was free, but required you to web exploit the system each boot (and didn't always work), or Haxchi, which required a legitimate game, and if cold-booted to, couldn't be deleted off the system, or it would lock up the loader (and brick your system in the process).
      When eShop's closure was announced, it spurred searches for something better, and now there's the Environment Loader, and Tiramisu, which is like a cold-boot Haxchi, but to a title that _cannot_ be deleted from the system (good ol' Health & Safety), and is on every system. A new environment called Aroma even allows for NTR CFW-like plugins loaded from a Rosalina-like menu.
      Exploit and installation is even easier than for 3DS, with just a couple steps.
