THX! Literally nothing went wrong, like at all, we need more tutorial videos like yours, I literally spent too long searching for a tutorial to understand
Buying a 3DS this weekend and gunna follow all these steps. I want to play pokemon and my wife wants to play some her games growing up and some are hard to find so this will be good to download any game!
I've always been scared to hack my 3ds because I didn't want to break it but I was thinking last year maybe I should try but wasn't sure how Thank you for this I updated to this last year then found out it couldn't be hacked was gutted because I heard you can get puzzle swap pieces and access miiverse thought I'd never be able to do it thank you for this now i just need to get a sd card with the right amount of space
Thank you for making this video. I followed along and it was an absolute success and not as scary as I thought it'd be. It's a relief to have this with the eShop being down, as now I can add the things that were there before. It's also letting me try out new franchises I may not have tried before. I also heard about fans making "pretendo" servers to try to bring all of that back, so I'm intrigued to see where all this goes. Though for my first day, I'm pretty happy to have a custom theme, Pokémon Crystal and Gold, and Flipnote 3D again!
Hi, excuse me, I'm following this tutorial, but at the end, when I turn it back on, it should load the last settings to access all the games, but it opens the home screen instead. I don't understand why, I'm following all the steps to the letter. Could you explain how you did it, please?
I successfully modded my 3DS thanks to you and the guide today. It helped having a visual estimate of the steps (I know the guide frequently changes) and it gave me the confidence I needed to do it properly. Thank you :)
Pft can relate trying to mod siblings 2ds bc took me hours for some reason on mine following written guide and same with hers too bc other errors that were mine haha 😅
going to do this later tonight when i get off work :) super excited i'll update later! i've watched this video several times already to make sure i understand what's happening ^_^ EDIT: worked perfectly, couldn’t have been any easier :) thank u sm
Just wanted to thank you again, since I just got another old 3ds model. I'll be using your guide again :) please post more homebrew stuff. Especially Nintendo Switch or Nintendo 3DS
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH OF A HELP THIS WAS TO ME!!! This tutorial was absolutely AMAZING!! I never had a moment watching where I got stumped, or confused!! Anyone who is reading the comments to see if this is a good tutorial, listen to me now as I say, IT IS THE BEST!!!!!
10:15 for this step, after I add the two finalize files to the sd card, do I then remove the sd card and put it back into the 3ds? Or do I do this step without the sd card inserted? (Just want to clarify🙏🙏)
Thank you so much and used your video and the step by step thing to do this and it worked the only problem that I had that I resolved was that there are no guides unless you use the steps to do this on how to mod your ds on android or chromebook
i just did everything you said up to 11:12 but when i try to access godmode9 (holding start and click power on) it doesnt work and just takes me to the home menu
At 7:31 when I try to do this but it gets forever stuck on the extra management page and the only way to get out is to turn of my 3ds, I don't know what I did wrong
@pawpets2069 responding fast so u don't have to suffer what I did and hopefully it helps, what I did was i changed my SD card bc my 3ds couldn't handle it
I followed the instructions to the T and it just sat forever after re-inserting the SD card. Completely corrupted all my data and was lost :/ 15 years of pokemon were erased in an instant
3 - 2 - 1 backup is having 3 forms of backup devices. 2 of them at your house of different styles (hdd, external HD, SD, usb etc) and having 1 off site copy in case of flooding, fire tornado, theft, water pipe breaks etc I'm sorry you lost your data. consider downloading retroarch emulator. it's a "front end" which means it can contain ds, gba, sega gbc etc emulators. it's also wifi and cloud compatible. you can play on your phone and android device with tv and emulator handhelds with wifi and all saves will cross over to the retroarch cloud you set up with guide
3:44 im having trouble with this, my code just says "script is not running on your SD card." I looked at the error text and it says that the n3ds folder cant be found, how can I fix this?
Hey, I made a dumb mistake by using the factory SD card and now I'm stuck at 11:47 of the video. Is the only solution to get an SD card with more storage and just copy everything onto the new one?
do you power off the 3ds every time you remove the sd card? like when you are finalizing things and you say, "back to the PC", and you install the finalize.romfs. did you turn off the 3ds while you were doing that? everywhere I look online says I need to turn off the 3ds any time I remove the sd card and not sure if that applies here.
every time it gets to the extra data management step, after doing the mset injection, it just starts loading but never shows the black screen w the commands, what do i do??
If what you're saying is you're stuck on an infinite load screen. This is from the official guide. "You most likely did something different from the MSET9 instructions, or selected the wrong model or version. Close the script window Execute the mset9.py script on the root of the SD card Windows: Double-click mset9.bat Linux: open a Terminal window, cd to the root of your SD card, then type python3 mset9.py and press Enter You should see a window that says “MSET9 … SETUP by zoogie” Type the number corresponding to your console model and version, then press Enter Type 3, then press Enter Once the window says “Successfully removed MSET9!”, reinsert the SD card into your console Power on your console Return to Section II Step 1
unfortunately this was the first thing i tried, several times actually. i even fully started over w a new sd card and its still not working:(@@BelowAverageGaming
@@gloomicore Im also having this same problem, I followed everything exactly and got the correct version but it just still forever loads and never shows the commands.
@@BelowAverageGaming I have the same problem and I looked at the instructions, there is nothing for a 2ds tho all of it says 3ds, is there one that works for the 2ds?
hi, i need help. Your instructions are very clear, and i followed up until halfway. After installing the mset9.bat onto the card, which it said was successful, i reinserted into the 3ds (i have the same version as yours). I was careful not to press anything as well. But upon inserting, the screen is still normal, just with now the data of the sd card in it. No error screen or black screen with text like yours. I have repeated this step multiple times, yet cant seem to get it to work. Your help or anyone in the comment section would be much appreciated :’)
extra note, im unsure if the reason being is of my sd card itself, as it didn’t have the same sticker like yours, and i don’t know how many gb on it. But otherwise everything else was functionally the same
At 11:22 im pretty sure the volume slider is brightness. Atleast thats what ive heard from other people bc i cant get there. My screen is stuck loading at the safebs9installer part. Can you help with that?
Thank you. I finally did it. The only thing is that I ran out of sd card storage so I couldn’t download fbi or anything but the homebrew menu boots when enabled
The only reason I haven’t nodded my 3Ds is because one of the screws is so badly stripped I can’t get to the SD card without breaking the case Still I will definitely do this at some point just to have more fun backgrounds
try finding a small piece of rubber band to act as a grip. place it on the tip of the screwdriver and smash it to the damaged screw. secondarily maybe some firmly pressed foam? not fluffy. pickle jars etc have a device that grips the cap like a rubber band and allows non slip. good luck also putting wd40 on it. a drop a day. or a few times a day can loosen dry fusion
Well that was very useful guide but hey you got same as my blue classic old 3DS (It been like 6 Year) never been better but sadly my SD memory card only have 2 GB, you only need to pay it for Ultra 32 GB. (for a everyone comment Now I am poor to paying money as artist) I'll never have Nintendo 3DS Folder in my life with DELL laptop (still lag with my gameplay) but I glad I'm enjoy watching helpful person guide those people was very happy and joy to playing many kind of new games, my old 3DS will never playing every new games ever again. (i did save it up for my both childhood games before it's shutdown, i have Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Pokemon Rumble World) 🤗
Guys, for everyone still having loading issues / red screen issues, assure you are using an sd card with at least 32gb. Also, try to get a new sd card, as it can be faulty. I was getting this issue for months until I got a new sd card.
Instead of getting a sighax installer I got some weird error that says “an exception occurred processor arm9 exception type prefetch abort” and a bunch of random numbers, and it just basically eats my themes. Please tell me someone else has this problem because I need help with it.
I followed every step but at 7:15 when i reinsert the original sd card to my old 3ds , the loading never finish and stuck there and the black screen doesn't appear... Can i get help please?
@@IllIIlIllII Mine is 2 GB💀... I will try to use another card with a larger capacity and I hope it works if this is really the problem + thnx for ur help
Hello, I have a problem at minute 3:40, when I open mset9.bat it says "Error 01: Couldn't find Nintendo 3DS folder! Ensure that you are running this script from the root of the SD card." I followed some steps that it tells me to make it work but nothing happens, and I followed the tutorial correctly and the card is inserted correctly, what can I do?
I did this but the apps didnt show up on the home menu, I still am stuck with the basic icons like settings and eshop. I dont understand where I went wrong, I followed everything correctly.
I can't figure out which folders to delete because it keeps telling me I have two ID0 folders, and whenever I delete one it tells me I either have 0 or 9.. Excellent guide nonetheless, even if I can't figure out my problem. I still watched through and it was easy to understand, so thank you.
@@BelowAverageGaming Happy to report that the current installation guide clarifies this: pre-existing software is "hidden" during part of the CFW installation process but is not actually deleted - it becomes visible again once installation is complete. I can confirm this as I've now successfully followed the guide and installed CFW on two old 3DS consoles. Thanks for the video, it was really helpful.
3:30 when i did this, my computer said that some of the properties of the files couldn't be transferred. supposedly it's because of the fat32 format, according to my research. do you have any advice?
I will follow follow this tut soon! Put if have question that I hope you can answer.. 1. Will this work if I have a SD card of have a 8GB or do I exactly need 32 GB??
I tries doing this a couple of days ago but I used the sd card that the 3ds came with so I got myself 2 32gb micro sd cards so I can also mod my wii u but this tutorial works

I can't figure out which folders to delete because it keeps telling me I have two ID0 folders, and whenever I delete one it tells me I either have 0 or 9.. Excellent guide nonetheless, even if I can't figure out my problem. I still watched through and it was easy to understand, so thank you.
it does not matter as this tutorial is no longer working if you updated your ds
Uuum is there a way to do this without the d'pad.... I think mine broke ... And I'm stuk at the black screen with the pattern. 7:16
@4:50 - deleting all software and save data doesn't sound good - is this a mandatory step? I don't wanna lose my progress in my purchased games.
Well, your SD card is supposed to be empty for this, maybe try using a new SD card and you'll have nothing to worry about
@@BelowAverageGaming Happy to report that the current installation guide clarifies this: pre-existing software is "hidden" during part of the CFW installation process but is not actually deleted - it becomes visible again once installation is complete. I can confirm this as I've now successfully followed the guide and installed CFW on two old 3DS consoles. Thanks for the video, it was really helpful.
please reply to me, why the mset9.bat file dosen't work?
i am on windows 11
3:30 when i did this, my computer said that some of the properties of the files couldn't be transferred. supposedly it's because of the fat32 format, according to my research. do you have any advice?
I don't think it should be an issue, continue on and see what happens
@@BelowAverageGaming thanks, everything went without a hitch!
I will follow follow this tut soon! Put if have question that I hope you can answer..
1. Will this work if I have a SD card of have a 8GB or do I exactly need 32 GB??
i need to know of this too
8gb is fine, 32 is better
@@BelowAverageGamingwill a 4gb work? How much space does it need?
When i put the sd card in 7:19 it keeps loading and doesn’t do anything.
I tries doing this a couple of days ago but I used the sd card that the 3ds came with so I got myself 2 32gb micro sd cards so I can also mod my wii u but this tutorial works
Hey what do you do if the mii maker option doesn’t show up in system settings
