I took a class on Operating Systems last semester and we had to do a presentation on any topic of our choosing so long as it has to do with an operating system. I chose the history of hacking the 3DS. After a long history and a considerable amount of technical detail, my final slide was this video Another one of my favorite slides was highlighting different homebrew applications, where I wrote "FBI, allows you to install CIA files. No thats not a joke. Really."

[@Bergzbot]

@Adamillo no, I haven't heard about that, but thats very unfortunate. And everyone seemed to like the presentation. Making the presentation was mandatory, but presenting it was optional for extra credit. It was also the day of the final, so he cut us off after 5 minutes of presenting (cuz he needed to make sure we had enough time for the final and all). I was one of the four people to go. The bit about the price of Cubic Ninja rising and falling with its relevance to breaking into the system got a few smiles and maybe even a chuckle or two, but unfortunately I only got about halfway through the presentation before my time was up. The professor complimented how well my presentation was flowing, and said that I had a good rhythm

I've become the 3DS modding guy for my friends and family. Everyone who still has one of these consoles comes to me and I speedrun the hackerman magic. To be perfectly honest, this whole thing started for me because I had a super old 3ds and bought a new 2ds xl right before they stopped production, purely because I wanted to preserve the dual screen game library from my childhood. Video game preservation for DS systems works best on original hardware...and now I can play community ports of Amogus or emulate Playstation games on my new 2ds xl. That little thing is so fucking awesome. I think due to the Switch being unhackable for the vast majority of users, they instead keep the 3ds modding community fresh and alive.

I'm pretty fast at doing that myself, in person, but that doesn't help much when it's done remotely. The 3DS Hacks Guide is always up to date, safe and really simple to follow. It answers questions much better than I could, so I'd suggest you google it, read through it and follow the steps. Shouldn't take more than an hour. Like, I'm not very tech savvy, the guide is just *really* good. If you run into any issues or if things are unclear, you can ask me about it and I'll try to help you as best as I can, okay?

[@Not_interestEd-]

​​@@phoenixdouchebag904 honestly, it's a gamble. At one point I think I saw something about the Switch OS running in its own sandbox, so unless there's a vulnerability on that (previous vulnerability was actually a hard chip error), I seriously doubt the Switch will get an alternative method besides soldering. Heard it called its securityis "perfect", which is a ballsy claim, but what do I know? Also, rumors of a Switch 2 with like a 4050 inside are coming, so it may be best to get an early model to have access to all the broken hardware to exploit.

@@SkyBlue12.5.01 That’s because smash bros runs the 3DS OS in a lower ram mode since it uses more ram than most games on old 3DS systems. The screen going black is the OS rebooting so it can go back to using 64mb of ram.

[@Josuh]

I feel like at least 500 of my 2000+ smash bros hours were solely spent on waiting for the game to boot up, in 2023 the closest thing you'll ever get to bricking your 3ds is updating it early and waiting for a new luma version to drop, and even then if you do brick a console is by being stupid like me disconnecting an sd card to usb adapter to my wii u and unplugging it while the installation screen freezed in a panic, poor wii u never booted back up again

More easy with a 2ds xl. The sd card slot can be accessed easily as it’s quite literally next to the game card slot

[@justinhamilton8647]

That’s why I got a 2dsxl instead of a n3ds even though the 3ds is prettier, so annoying to have to unscrew for the sd card

[@Vulgar_Worlock]

That's gonna be three years and 150 million

[@scourge8103]

Maaaaaan this takes me back to when I homebrewed a homie of mine’s 2ds a couple years back. It was a bit more complex back then, but I eventually got it. Just be careful and slow and you are home free. Only part that stumped us was him not knowing what he wanted to do with it lmao

[@IceisNice_FollowingChrist]

It's true it's easy and doesn't take much time at all. Awesome video lol.

[@SuperGreenLuigi]

Thank you xD

@@SuperGreenLuigi you're welcome xD

Took me 3 days to mod mine (it already came premodded with Luma, just had to update it and actually get all the homebrew apps installed) although I think it's mainly because of my slow laptop that turned it into 3 days to mod the 3DS

[@Fermin-hw5pd]

It took me like 30 minutes of massive anxiety, but it's super easy

[@londoncintron680]

It seems like the only true obstacle is the fact that it's, y'know, legally dubious. Copyright law was always my least favorite law anyway

[@arcanine_enjoyer]

The hardest part is deciding if you want to sacrifice your 3DS warranty

While I know this is a pipe dream, I wish the internet would come together to make easily downloadable ports for old Pokémon game for the Switch like HGSS, DPP, or anything further back. Including spin off games like Ranger or Mystery Dungeon.

[@Luminous_Dreamers]

the hardest part for me was the 30 minutes i took to realise you can’t fully remove the screws

[@tvs26]

Yeah I was unscrewing really long while I could just take it off already

[@CVerse]

The hardest parking about hacking it would be to actually break it

[@jam732]

You do NOT need to do all that lmao. I only hacked mine in 15 minutes.

[@mrfoxly6833]

Took me several tries due to my PC declaring the files corrupted seemingly at random even though the 3DS read them fine, preventing me from adding files to the SD card. Imagine my embarrassment when I realised there was a workaround for that problem right under my nose in the form of FTPD. It really is that easy.

[@weirdreapr]

As someone who modded their DSi on Christmas- yeah it really is that easy.

[@mrtoast244]

Omw to destroy my 12 year old 3DS from childhood so I can play the games I didn't get for Christmas:

[@natsuki_rage]

It wasn't hard but the reason why I took one hour to hack my 3DS is the fact that I was scared to do it wrong 💀

[@SuperGreenLuigi]

I know that feeling.

[@boinjamoin_860]

And this killed my sd card…

This meme has unofficially started a 3ds modding speed run challenge...😅

[@RipVanFish09]

You can mod a 3ds in under 15 minutes. You can mod a wii in under 3.

[@XericLvl]

The hardest thing for me was having a 3ds that had two shoulder buttons constantly messing up and a 2dsxl with a messed up lcd.

[@20000dino]

It's only "easy" for people who have either done it before or who already are into tech. The process has a kajillion steps which can be really confusing.

[@ThePurplePeppy]

Just how easy it is, is overstated. As you said it's quite a few steps. But I don't feel like it involves too much technical skill, the 3ds hack website guide is so indepth and does not make any assumptions. The guide tells you exactly what buttons to press, what files to put where, and it tells you when to do these things in order. The guide is possibly the best guide I've ever seen, the best thing you can do is turn off your brain and just do as it says until the process is complete.

[@zacharyrollick6169]

Ah, yes. Steps. The horror.

[@elipticalecliptic481]

it is long, but the guide is pretty in-depth

Took me an hour, only because im an idiot who misunderstood a part and had to figure out what I was doing wrong. Eventually figured it out, after watching a video instead of just reading the instructions

[@ayo.2022]

I remember when I tried hacking my 3DS last year for the fun of it after seeing all the memes. And to my surprise, it really was quite easy to do. Give it a shot if you haven't, especially since that's the only way to get stuff digitally now.

[@jamescjohnston2]

The hardest part for me was getting my 3ds to connect to the internet

I remember watching this video last year and it pushed me to finally homebrew my 3ds
