Still working as of 3/9/2024 for anyone looking in the future!!! this video was legit, easy to follow along with minimal pauses. was able to keep up at regular speed!
@@LnavVnavFlight yo brooo, I have a question question please. I just got a stock new Nintendo 2nd xl, and I’m wondering if as of today, there is any newer system updates, or if 11.17 is still the newest in October of 2024, would appreciate the help!
The issues i was having much like you all were resolved by checking date region and time settings. He DOES mention to do this in the video. Thanks so much Anton!
To everyone who has a problem with the "GoGo" button, I might have a resolution. I was modding my console today and ran into the same "text" window issue. I looked into the written guide and checked the troubleshooting page and I managed to make it work! If you have this error - make sure that your date and time are set to the current one, if not - set it up and try the whole browser step again. The second resolution is the one that helped me - change the language of the console to a different one. For example - my console was set to english so I changed it to Spanish, but before you do that, reset the save data in your browser so it's clean and like brand new, then change the language, go to the browser and repeat the whole QR code section. That worked for me, it showed me the same "text" window but then after few seconds the screen started to flash colors and the rest of the modding went smooth. Changing the language is not such a big bother since all the modding sections will be in english, and you can look up what to click in the video or use a translator, after I modded the console successfuly I changed the language back to english and it's all good :D Sorry if I made some spelling mistakes but english is not my first language >< I hope it's gonna help someone~ ^^
now I get a different error. my language was Dutch first now Spanish instead of the black screen with error my browser closes and says there was a error :/ Changing Region or Language doesn't work for me and I can't gp further fpr 2 weeks already with this method that I simply want to give it up!
Hey everyone! Sorry for the confusion surrounding SlotTool. This method was recently updated. For now I have added SlotTool to the download. But since there have been a few recent breakthroughs I am looking into creating an updated and simpler tutorial. I've also been working on the tutorial for older systems that just requires a physical or digital copy of Mario Kart 7. Stay tuned! I've decided to start placing the packages into GitHub to make sure that things are more organized.
i replaced the files with the new ones you uploaded but still dont see SlotTool. Do you recommend starting over from the first step? did it work for anyone else?
I bought a Japanese modded 3ds and I had a lot of files missing. Probably like more than half, I followed all of this steps and I’m currently on the finalizing state! I’ll be back as soon as I finish the process Edit: OMG IT WORKED!!! Thank you sm man😭❤️
Thank you man i revived my original 3ds and my brothers roommates japanese 3ds because of you it means alot after losing so much stuff in our past me and my bro are very thankful for this as we like to collect and mod older gen consoles
hey quick question i have my og 3ds XL am i still able to modd it ? because he mentioned it being “new versions” and also do you know if i do mod it will all of my other videos and voice recordings be discarded?

Thank you for this! I was looking for a 3DS modding tutorial and yours just happened to be made three days ago. This was super easy to follow, thank you!
For the people that get the "An error has occurred. Please save your data in any software currently in use, then restart the system." error. I had the same problem, according to the official documentation, you have to set your region to (if USA, then United States. if EU, then United kingdom, if japan, then Japan. if Korean, then Korean.) in the profile settings in settings, without any specific sub region. This solved it for me, hope it is helps.
Holy crap this has gotten much easier. Haven't done it in years so I had my flash cart in NT boot mode and magnet ready and you don't even need those anymore. Thanks man. Short and easy to follow.

@antonretro Hey Anton Retro: I really love your modding videos and I got a big favor to ask of you. Can you make the Ultimate Wii homebrew tutorial ya know like a Wii tutorial that shows how to add every single application that requires an sd card and usb drive so the video will start out with a how to add the homebrew channel but if everyone already has a homebrew channel on their Wii then they can skip that part and go on to the thing they don't have so here is what I believe should be in this ultimate: - adding the homebrew channel
Thank you for this *educational* video (wink wink). Edit: Just finished the homebrewing process. Your video was so easy to follow along with. As someone who has never done this before, I was surprised at how easy it really was.
Hey man, I know you probably wont see this comment, but you have no idea how much of a lifesaver you are. I bought a renewed New 3DSXL from Amazon and the official guide was getting me nowhere; thank you so much for the effort you put into this!
If anyone has any issues with things not working right, I just moved everything out of his packaged zip and put it on the root of my sd card, and moved some files to different folders it’s really easy to look up errors as they are quite common errors. But moving everything out of the bundled package onto the root of my sd card definitely helped
what do you mean with moved some files to different folders? Can you show us a screenshot please :) I see always error during internet browser QR Code process
Waaaaahhhh, thank you so much for this! I finally found my old LOZ (the exclusive one from Gamestop back in 2015) 3DS and decided I wanted to homebrew it pretty much from the moment I saw it again! Thank you for the help and for making this guide so easy to follow!!
It's literally an Infinite Money Glitch every time Nintendo updates the 3DS or any of their Hardware since Anton Retro can make another tutorial after another. (Great content Anton, You've always helped me every time I needed it!)
September 9th 2024 and it still works!!!! Literally follwed hes step exactly as he was doing it, no issues at all!! Thank you so much Anton!! Im a newbie and was very skeptical & scared doing it.... honestly it was all ok 👌 Just remember to set your time & date properly before you tou start! Best mod quide on toutube by far! Good luck to all modding, follow this guide, you wont have issues ❤
Great video! I wanted to point out that 32GB is the sweet spot if you want the shortest boot times, as the 3DS seems to struggle with it beyond that limit.
This guide helped immensely. With the provided files that normally are located in different places with different peoples' Githubs this made hacking a factory reset 3DS on 11-17-50U (replace - with . only because of URL nonsense with comments) child's play. Only took me about 30 minutes only because I was checking my work to make sure I was doing everything in the right sequence. Took me longer to set up custom themes and get Twilight menu setup and running than to hack it. One thing I would note is that if you intend to run 2 3DSes (hacked and unhacked) you will only be able to have your Nintendo account linked to one of them and only one. So, if for whatever reason you're running 2 of them for reasons, only one will be able to have your Nintendo ID associated with it.
@@Moggsy_1 Quick question: When you are at the qr code part did it also not work? Because right now I did everything like in the Video and the screen flashes a few times but it doesn't boot up homebrew
As someone who has literally no experience with this and is doing this due to nostalgic tendancies, i find this well said and clear! Wish me luck 🤞 edit: I DID IT!!!!!

it has been one year science I bricked my 3ds with this tutorial, so I tried to unbrick it, I realized that my problem was that I had the drive formatted wrong so I just formatted it to fat 32 and it worked. My 3DS is officially unbricked. But I still don't have the homebrew channel.
as of 06/12/24 this still works!!! I always wanted to mod my 3DS but was scared of doing it because I didn't want to wreck my DS. This was so easy I was able to do this without any help other than this tutorial
ah man thank you so much! yeah I watched a video that was strongly urging people to never watch youtube tutorials for modding a 3ds since the process is constantly changing but if yours worked and you just did it then I will be definitely following this, did you run into any problems at all that seemed strange?
This is literally the best tutorial ever. I was trying to figure out how to mod my Nintendo 3DS for so long because I remember I got the new model and it was on 11.16 but it was making me update it to 11.17 firmware so I had to but thanks for the tutorial because it really worked and it’s really good😊
I have an old 3DS XL. it’s so impossible to find a video on how to mod it with 11.17 fw :( Please come out with that video soon. Much appreciate your videos!
Watching these guides after Nintendo announced shutting down their online services for the 3DS. Not gonna do it myself until the services completely shut down in April, in case they push more updates or the method changes, but it's nice to get an idea for the future. I hope after the services close the Monster Hunter community figures out how to bring Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate back online like they've done for all the older games like Tri...
Love this tutorial was very helpful, i did run into some issues with my SD card but i rewatched the video and was able to find out what do to. This guy deserves my sub!
@@antonretroI have a question, what if I don't have my original 4 Gigabyte 3DS SD Card but I already have say a new 32 gigabyte SD Card in my 3DS? Can I still skip the whole SD Card transferring and formatting step and use the 32 Gigabyte SD Card to mod my 3DS?
every time i try to launch the homebrew app through the 2ds xl's browser it kicks me out and says " an error has occured. Please save your data in any software currently in use, and then restart the system." even if i deleted all cookies and bookmarked the website. If you have any answers for my problem, please let me know, Thank You.
Keep getting stuck at the part where you click the "Go Go" button. Im sure i followed everything to a T. But once i click it and go past the pop up, the screen turns red for a second and then a black background pops up and says " An error has occured, please hold the power button and turn fof the console"
hey aton i followed all your instructions but as soon as i get to the step where you have to press on “ go go “ it loads into a new tabs and it’s blank and just says “ text “ at first i thought it was the usb that i bought but then i tried it with the usb card it came with and did the same thing i was wondering if you knew what i could do here
as I press the Go Go button the procedure goes wrong and I return back to the main menu.... I tried doing a gain all the steps and also changing the lenguage but it's still not working......my Nintendo is updated and the SD card is fat32 so I don't understand what's the problem.....can anyone help?? (sorry for my English but it's not my first lenguage)
Guys if you run into a error after the web browser set up such as error save your data and restart. its your time and date thats the problem. someone also stated that in the comments and i was able to get mine working. make sure your date and time is the current and retry the browser part.
Hey, every time i click on the GO GO! button there will just appear a white screen with the word "text" in the left upper corner :( Does anyone know how to fix that so that the homebrew launcher can open?
Despite following carefully on all steps and retrying multiple times, each time I press the “Go! Go!” Button on the internet browser, I am booted to my main menu with a pop up telling me an error has occurred. My system is updated and I have every file I need to progress. Anyone have an idea for why this is happening and how I may be able to fix it?
@@niccolomassimini757 did you get yours to work after the FAT32 formatting? I got stuck there and the dummy file copy (from DM9 folder) but I'm all up and running and downloaded all my games I wanted!
Hey Bro. Check ur language. it should match with ur console. for Example if u r using EU console with english, then it wont work. so just change the language and try.
I followed the steps completely and got an error stating to shut off my 3ds at the part where I was supposed to get the home brew launcher screen, right before this my screen was pink instead of what ever colors yours was
Same here 🥲 I used his tutorial for the old 3Ds/3Ds xl and it worked perfectly but idk why for the new gen I can’t get the homebrew launcher to work. I tried changing to all languages and still nothing. I might just mod one of my other og ds’
Finally brought back my 3ds to life again and decided to mod it and I just want to say thank you, It was easy to follow and took about 30 minutes (even though ngl I was scared of it getting bricked) 😁
I tried other methods before this and they only got me so far they were also so tedious to have to download all the files individually but this method made by anton it's simple and fast and actually worked for me thanks for the huge help
Help please... we updated our New 3DS XL to 11.17.0-50u, followed your instructions, but in the release_new3ds_v1.1 we do not see a folder named "3DS" (your video shows two files + that folder) in your .zip. We continually get "An error has occurred" after accessing the US site (by QR code) for the final step (clicking the GO! GO! link). What are we missing?
You can fix this by checking the following: option 1: Update date and time option 2: Change language to spanish and try again (worked for me) option 3: Delete payload folder on your SD card. Remember to backup this folder because you photos are in here. after that try again
I keep getting “An error has occurred please save your data in any software currently in use and then restart the system” Edit : now when I go to the website and click Go go! My screen will turn pink & then I get a error for me to restart bum system and connect Nintendo
Why dosnt it work!?!? When i tap the goo goo button my device says: An error has occurred please save your data in any software currently in use then restart the system
@@prayerpoint7241 Hey man! I did it i had to change my language of my device so i changed it from english to dutch than it worked when the softmodding was done i changed it back to english (please let me know if it helped you 2)
Great video man! Quick question, I’ve been trying to download TwlightMenu from the Universal Updater app and I keep getting stuck on the second downloading stage. I was wondering if you could please give me some guidance on this 😅
OMG it worked both on my New 3DS XL and New 2DS XL. I LOVE YOU. For those outside of USA, for example in Germany, changing the language of your console to German (anything than English) solves a lot of problems you may be facing. At least it help me.
I've tried following this tutorial multiple times now and I always get stuck on the same step. After scanning the QR code, bookmarking the page and deleting all the cookies, I press the GO GO! button and I get a Pop-up Notification that only says a. I press A since it's the only answer answer and after a few seconds, the browser closes on its own and I get an error saying "A error has occurred. Please save your data in any software currently in use, the restart the system.". Now, even after restarting the system and re doing the steps, I always get the same outcome. Could anyone maybe give me a tip? I genuinely can't understand what I'm doing wrong and it's very frustrating since the tutorial looks incredibly easy! Thank you.
Hey man I'm not a tech wizard but I had the same problem. But I was able to fix it because looking back at how I managed the files on my micro-SD card I did not take out the files for the super-skater folder. So instead of taking out all the individual files in the USA 11.17 folder I just lobbed the whole folder and IG that is what caused the problem. So, I would just look back and see if you took everything out of folder so the files can be read right.
@@Knightly_Bean sorry, im having abit of trouble understanding what you mean. So are you saying to take the USA 11.17 folder and just move it to the micro sd card? or do you mean take all the files in the USA 11.17 and take them out individually, then place them in the folder? sorry for english isnt very good.
HELP :( I have done everything as indicated in the tutorial, but at minute 12:06 where the gift icons that include the programs appear, they do not appear! In the 11:22 part of the video it didn't take me long to do that, I think it wasn't done right. Another problem is that the "cias" folder does not exist on the sd, I don't know what I did wrong, the hack is activated because with all the combinations the godmode, rosalina... SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE :(
Hello, The tutorial worked perfectly up untill the finilize portion for me, when in godmode I go to scripts, select finilize, unlock permissions, and the download fails. you mention that youd need to have at least 1gb of storage or else the download will fail, but I have plenty of access storage and the download still fails. Would you know any reasons why? thank you.
If you're still stuck at the godmode part, there should be an URL in the error message, open it and it tells you to reset your 3DS software in Data Management, that's how I got past it
I got the error "An error has occurred. Please save your data in any software currently in use, then restart the system" in the go go part what do I do
@wawaw9674 tried that did not work I did solve it. I found out my 3ds was newer, so I found another newer tutorial with another file that you need to download once I did that worked perfectly
For some reason whenever I click the go button it just tells me there was an error and to restart my 3ds All the files are in the SD card and I followed all the steps but the payload just doesn’t work I’m not sure why but can anyone help?
I have a problem when i click the go go button it comes up a pop up notification it says “a” then i click ok then it says that an error occurred please save your data in any software currently in use then restart your system. So pls help idk what to do
hey, I get stuck in the 6:45 part, when I click the "gogo" button I get an application crash "an error has occurred", I double checked my date and time and they are correct, my region is Europe, maybe that's the case? I have all of the correct files and I repeated everything step by step, but it still doesn't work. UPDATE: I found the solution! If you're from Europe - change your region in "profile" into United Kingdom, skip the second part and if you are from USA - change your region to United States and also skip the second part, those should help !!
Thanks for this updated guide bro I upgraded to a new 3ds xl ( waiting for it in the mail ) and I am gonna mod it and transfer my stuff really appreciate it man you helped me mod my Wii and OG 3DS 👍 saved so much money on games
I did all the steps, but when i push go go, the screens flashe but then it doesnt load homebrew it just stays on a screen that says debug and a lot of other text and the bottom screen stays on red
@@birdbraiin yeah so turns out the only thing that was wrong was I forgot to extract all the folders, so you should probably just make sure all your files are in the right place and try again. That's what worked for me anyways :/

Yes but how many games can you get with it
@@hoglacy not a lot of 3ds games for sure, but if you go for nds and gba games you should face no issues
@@lordcoola ok cool thanks I originally had a 256gb sd in there and was able to get many games I think I’ll take more space over faster boot
Can't you just get multiple sd cards then?
@@call_me_Loser could get expensive on a budget
This guide helped immensely. With the provided files that normally are located in different places with different peoples' Githubs this made hacking a factory reset 3DS on 11-17-50U (replace - with . only because of URL nonsense with comments) child's play. Only took me about 30 minutes only because I was checking my work to make sure I was doing everything in the right sequence. Took me longer to set up custom themes and get Twilight menu setup and running than to hack it.
One thing I would note is that if you intend to run 2 3DSes (hacked and unhacked) you will only be able to have your Nintendo account linked to one of them and only one. So, if for whatever reason you're running 2 of them for reasons, only one will be able to have your Nintendo ID associated with it.
Thanks bruh I did this on a New 2DS XL today and I can say 100% it still works if you follow everything he does.

Hey Anton Retro:
I really love your modding videos and I got a big favor to ask of you. Can you make the Ultimate Wii homebrew tutorial ya know like a Wii tutorial that shows how to add every single application that requires an sd card and usb drive so the video will start out with a how to add the homebrew channel but if everyone already has a homebrew channel on their Wii then they can skip that part and go on to the thing they don't have so here is what I believe should be in this ultimate:
- adding the homebrew channel
He is not reading all that
@@ina3872 well crap
Hey Anton, please be sure to make a tutorial on version 11.17 for old 3DS and 2DS systems
So does the 11.16.0-49 method doesn't work anymore?
Depends on your system update
it has been one year science I bricked my 3ds with this tutorial, so I tried to unbrick it, I realized that my problem was that I had the drive formatted wrong so I just formatted it to fat 32 and it worked. My 3DS is officially unbricked. But I still don't have the homebrew channel.
as of 06/12/24 this still works!!! I always wanted to mod my 3DS but was scared of doing it because I didn't want to wreck my DS. This was so easy I was able to do this without any help other than this tutorial
glad to see it seems simpler than it did when i homebrewed mine
Thank you! Very clear and easy. Was done in minutes!
even a month later and this is still very useful to me. thank you ever so much, anton
did you just do it? I've been trying to figure out if its still up to date since im worried about bricking my 3ds
@@-Quote- yes it works as long as you update it to 11.17
ah man thank you so much! yeah I watched a video that was strongly urging people to never watch youtube tutorials for modding a 3ds since the process is constantly changing but if yours worked and you just did it then I will be definitely following this, did you run into any problems at all that seemed strange?
@@-Quote- no i just followed the tutorial with a macbook and it works perfectly fine
@@joshrd_1264 Ight cool cool, thanks a ton!
It took me two tries after a few errors that I had to go through, but I still got it!
This is literally the best tutorial ever. I was trying to figure out how to mod my Nintendo 3DS for so long because I remember I got the new model and it was on 11.16 but it was making me update it to 11.17 firmware so I had to but thanks for the tutorial because it really worked and it’s really good😊
I have an old 3DS XL. it’s so impossible to find a video on how to mod it with 11.17 fw :( Please come out with that video soon. Much appreciate your videos!
Great video really looking forward to seeing your upcoming tutorial about the older 3DS model! Literally, checking daily
It’s in the works, hoping to get it out within the next few weeks :)
Worked perfectly! Thankyou for the thorough guide
How'd you get the slot tool to appear? Every time I get to the go go part I just get a bunch of text and I have to restart the system
@@edxander7169 did you figure it out?
@@edxander7169i have the same issue
Watching these guides after Nintendo announced shutting down their online services for the 3DS. Not gonna do it myself until the services completely shut down in April, in case they push more updates or the method changes, but it's nice to get an idea for the future.
I hope after the services close the Monster Hunter community figures out how to bring Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate back online like they've done for all the older games like Tri...
Love this tutorial was very helpful, i did run into some issues with my SD card but i rewatched the video and was able to find out what do to. This guy deserves my sub!
Nice video! The finalizing setup is really quick! :)
Nice! Glad everything worked out 👍

did u find a fix to it yet?
cant seem to do the internet part i keep getting an error has occurred when clicking on the go
This still works as of 11/17/2024, this was a easy process to do and i recommend it to people who have not done it yet
what application allows us to download games and ds games?
This makes it so much more complicated than the info from a particular hacks site famous for the 3ds modding scene.
Hey Anton can you do a tutorial for Mac OS it would be very helpful thanks again 😊
every time i try to launch the homebrew app through the 2ds xl's browser it kicks me out and says " an error has occured.
Please save your data in any software currently in use, and then restart the system." even if i deleted all cookies and bookmarked the website. If you have any answers for my problem, please let me know, Thank You.
did you ever find a fix the same thing is happening to me?
@@1.sum41fan I found a different tutorial that came out recently and it worked
Any update on a tutorial for old 3ds homebrew? :)
Recently bought an old one for my collection and would rather mod it than my new 2ds
It's there now
Worked perfectly, don’t normally leave comments, but just wanted to express my thanks and a subscribe
This was even easier than on the older models. So glad I went and got this out of the way.
Keep getting stuck at the part where you click the "Go Go" button. Im sure i followed everything to a T. But once i click it and go past the pop up, the screen turns red for a second and then a black background pops up and says " An error has occured, please hold the power button and turn fof the console"
Also have the same issue, how did you fix it?
hey aton i followed all your instructions but as soon as i get to the step where you have to press on “ go go “ it loads into a new tabs and it’s blank and just says “ text “ at first i thought it was the usb that i bought but then i tried it with the usb card it came with and did the same thing i was wondering if you knew what i could do here
as I press the Go Go button the procedure goes wrong and I return back to the main menu.... I tried doing a gain all the steps and also changing the lenguage but it's still not working......my Nintendo is updated and the SD card is fat32 so I don't understand what's the problem.....can anyone help?? (sorry for my English but it's not my first lenguage)
Guys if you run into a error after the web browser set up such as error save your data and restart. its your time and date thats the problem. someone also stated that in the comments and i was able to get mine working. make sure your date and time is the current and retry the browser part.
OMG I DID IT!! I went to system settings and reset the sd card and now everything at the moment is loading up!! THANKS!!
Hey, every time i click on the GO GO! button there will just appear a white screen with the word "text" in the left upper corner :( Does anyone know how to fix that so that the homebrew launcher can open?
Same here
Despite following carefully on all steps and retrying multiple times, each time I press the “Go! Go!” Button on the internet browser, I am booted to my main menu with a pop up telling me an error has occurred. My system is updated and I have every file I need to progress. Anyone have an idea for why this is happening and how I may be able to fix it?
same idk what to do
Update: i fixed it by downloading all the files again and copying over the previous ones.
Make sure its formatted to FAT32 or it will not work
@@sirwilliam2195 It was, but It didn't work
@@niccolomassimini757 did you get yours to work after the FAT32 formatting? I got stuck there and the dummy file copy (from DM9 folder) but I'm all up and running and downloaded all my games I wanted!
Hey Bro. Check ur language. it should match with ur console. for Example if u r using EU console with english, then it wont work. so just change the language and try.
I followed the steps completely and got an error stating to shut off my 3ds at the part where I was supposed to get the home brew launcher screen, right before this my screen was pink instead of what ever colors yours was

Finally brought back my 3ds to life again and decided to mod it and I just want to say thank you, It was easy to follow and took about 30 minutes (even though ngl I was scared of it getting bricked) 😁
I tried other methods before this and they only got me so far
they were also so tedious to have to download all the files individually but this method made by anton it's simple and fast and actually worked for me
thanks for the huge help
Help please... we updated our New 3DS XL to 11.17.0-50u, followed your instructions, but in the release_new3ds_v1.1 we do not see a folder named "3DS" (your video shows two files + that folder) in your .zip.
We continually get "An error has occurred" after accessing the US site (by QR code) for the final step (clicking the GO! GO! link).
What are we missing?
You can fix this by checking the following:
option 1: Update date and time
option 2: Change language to spanish and try again (worked for me)
option 3: Delete payload folder on your SD card. Remember to backup this folder because you photos are in here. after that try again
@@theflythify Thank you so much! i forgot my 3ds was in military time instead of regular.
I keep getting “An error has occurred please save your data in any software currently in use and then restart the system”
Edit : now when I go to the website and click Go go! My screen will turn pink & then I get a error for me to restart bum system and connect Nintendo
I also get the issue after clicking go go.
I'm pretty sure that's the 3ds knowing that your trying to pirate games nintendo has that and your system I'm pretty sure is garbage now
Works if completed as shown (May 13th 2024)
Thanks for this. Easy to understand instructions, and not a single hitch in the process. You are GOATed!

OMG it worked both on my New 3DS XL and New 2DS XL. I LOVE YOU. For those outside of USA, for example in Germany, changing the language of your console to German (anything than English) solves a lot of problems you may be facing. At least it help me.
Just got a chance to homebrew, this worked perfectly thank you!!
The homebrew browser part refuses to work for me no matter what I do
SAME bro i either get info that the page is too big or that an error occurred
I've tried following this tutorial multiple times now and I always get stuck on the same step. After scanning the QR code, bookmarking the page and deleting all the cookies, I press the GO GO! button and I get a Pop-up Notification that only says a. I press A since it's the only answer answer and after a few seconds, the browser closes on its own and I get an error saying "A error has occurred. Please save your data in any software currently in use, the restart the system.". Now, even after restarting the system and re doing the steps, I always get the same outcome. Could anyone maybe give me a tip? I genuinely can't understand what I'm doing wrong and it's very frustrating since the tutorial looks incredibly easy! Thank you.
Hey man I'm not a tech wizard but I had the same problem. But I was able to fix it because looking back at how I managed the files on my micro-SD card I did not take out the files for the super-skater folder. So instead of taking out all the individual files in the USA 11.17 folder I just lobbed the whole folder and IG that is what caused the problem. So, I would just look back and see if you took everything out of folder so the files can be read right.
@@Knightly_Bean sorry, im having abit of trouble understanding what you mean. So are you saying to take the USA 11.17 folder and just move it to the micro sd card? or do you mean take all the files in the USA 11.17 and take them out individually, then place them in the folder? sorry for english isnt very good.
When i press GOGO, the screen after just says "Text"
Ik this is late but this may be bc u have an older system (3DS, 2ds, and 3DS xl)
Still works as of 23/5/24 if any errors appear on the browser change the language to something else. I changed mine to German and it worked.
Worked perfect for me! Picked up a 2ds xl for only 50 bucks. Really useful. Thanks so much!
