      Have you removed the plate on the bottom of the device? You have to do that on the New 3DS XL, I’m not sure about the others.
      The video Russ made on the modding process will cover removing the SD card.

      it doesn't come with the sd card, but for old 3ds the slot for one should be right under the volume controls.

      H-shop is Noah's Arc for games that would otherwise dissapear. Archieve those games, because h-shop isn't eternal either. 3ds/ds games aren't that big of files, so that's nice. If Nintendo got its way and no ROMs were distributed : physical cartridges decay over time and those games would dissapear forever.
      Now the next problem is : who will manufacture double-screen hand-held consoles to replace the decaying DS and 2/3DS?
      Those came out quite a long time ago. The older ones will start breaking alot more.

Games downloaded from the hshop, can they go online or is it a no no as well. Similar to how each cartridge is linked with a code or number on the switch, will the hshop download be flagged?
