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.
Such amazing work by the community to do this. Can’t even fathom how much time it took to create all this but I’m happy it exists and another great rgc video exists too!
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.
my 3ds has a new lease on life thanks to the modding community. Honestly, I am experiencing a resurgence in this system and I am loving it! Thanks so much for such a comprehensive guide!
I had used this guide a year ago but I stopped using my 2DS up until recently since I got a bigger sd card I added more games and completely forgot how to install them so thanks again for this video!
Here in 2024, i have bought a new 3ds xl, and lucky for me, it came with a DSTwo Cart. First thing i did was mod the 3ds, and now i am asking myself, where the hell i have been this whole time. This is awesome!
Good video Russ. Just an FYI: the Luma3DS CFW already unlocks the region-lock so that DSi-enhanced and 3DS games from any region will work, regardless of the origin country of the 3DS.
@@svcross-do yeah you’re right I’ve had some issues personally I’ve bricked my 3DS twice bc of cias not wanting to play and then permanently black screening my shit but I luckily had backups saved
After pressing "Install game image" and the content appearing on the home screen, do you still need the .3ds file in the roms folder? Or are you free to delete it from the folder after it installs?
This is a helpful tutorial. But does anyone else have problems with wireless connection games. I try to play with my brother who uses a Ds but for somereason we cant connect.
So I went to dump 4 games in the ROMs/3ds file and it's saying "file too large for the destination file system" for one of the four games (Ultra Sun) when I clearly have enough space in my SD card. Any reason why?
How I can download and play my DS games on 3DS ? I was able to dump my cartridges games into 3 micro SD card but I'm not sure if it applies to the DS games cartridges I have...
Hey Russ! I wanted to ask, after the 3DS is hacked, are you still able to login to your Nintendo account for the system or is it a no no? 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? Thanks my guy. You’ve become my go to for all things handheld and emulation.
I don’t understand the terminology at all so idk if this was mentioned but is there a way to download a game onto the 3ds when u don’t have the cartridge
I got a new old stock “new” 3DS from Japan, I hacked it in Japanese (with an iPad and the google translate camera pointed at it) and changed the region to EU following the 3dshacks guide site to get English. Region change was pretty straight forward, but I *think* you need to hack it first, so the minor difficulty is doing that with all the menus in Japanese
Is there a way to copy your already converted.3ds file extension hands to the device without putting it on the Home Screen? (Like in the roms / 3ds folder to access and play that way to not crowd your Home Screen? Thx again! Great vid as always! I only found 3vids for 3ds too? Will there be more??
once again russ you are the absolute man! Your videos and you personally helping me on discord have helped so much with all my problems. thank you so much for all you do dude!
I have a number of .3ds files. Another video shows you having to convert to .cia on the 3ds first, then use FBI to install. Does either method work? This method seems faster. Also, once it's installed do you delete the rom from the roms/3ds folder?
Dude, can almost kiss you for making a written guide for us. Thank you!
Dumb question. My 3ds doesn't have an sdcard? Im guessing it was the first generation of them with the small screen.
hi! have you figured it out yet? if not i'm here to help
It might be under the battery
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.

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

7:24 sure... those file names look... suspiciously familiar
Thanks for the video. Modded my 3ds and didn't know how to get games from that point.
Thank you Sir. you are a very good instructor. Please try and slow down a little bit in your practicals. thank you again.
@6:28 "find the 'any key' to exit" bruh lol
Do I just need to create a roms folder on the sd cart? because mine doesnt have one
please tell me you figured out what to do, im struggling lol

Thank you for your new video I always appreciate them yous is ferda fresh

I was only joking about h shop on your video last week, didn't think you would make a video talking about it
You´re awesome
Do you have to keep the rom files in your SD card after you install the games using godmode9 or can you delete those rom files to free us space?
Thank You so much!
I recently modded my 3DS and I had no idea you could install you cartridges to the system so easily. Thanks for the video!
yooooou wouldnt happen to know a video to help with modding it would you?
@@BleedingFlameit’s very simple let me look for the video I used
@@BleedingFlamewith the written guide I was able to do it and I never done anything like modding before
Even with the hshop, the save data transfer tool exists.
@@diplomate29 the hshop has a search bar.
guide on how to transfer file sav on to this modded 3ds?
I had used this guide a year ago but I stopped using my 2DS up until recently since I got a bigger sd card I added more games and completely forgot how to install them so thanks again for this video!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for for like a week now
Thank you
My PC is stucked after decrypting the 3ds file. I can't find the "any" key on my keyboard to continue...
thx bro
off topic but that sonic poster in the intro is SICK. where did you get it?

Some games can (and will have issues).😊

@@svcross-doCare to elaborate? I haven't had a single problem with US games on my Jap 2DSXL.
Bro u need to drop that video showing how to play the retro games ASAP i just got mine modded
The timing of these videos is absolutely perfect, I recently purchased a 2DS and new 3DS XL coming this weekend and these guides are the best.
Thank you so much for this guide! It helped tremendously :)
Hello I have encountered a problem, when trying to install the game on godmod it fails, then it asks me to verify and thats the end, pls help
That happened to me aswell I’m so confused
@@micropig6098 hi, so while I haven't solved this problem , installing the games with FBI works just fine
@@hq3802 thanks I’ll try quickly now 👍
Great Video, Helped me a lot with installing a Randomizer. I now also know what ROM files are
Thank you very much
Great video, and thank god my keyboard had the "any" key.
“Where’s the any key!?” 😂
I have the japanis 3ds and I don’t know what to do , I’ll be waiting for your video!
how to transfer and backup save files?
how do you dump the games onto your console that are ds games?
I dont have a 3ds but I watched your video, liked, and commented for the algorithm.
Thanks J B!
😁
but what if its a NDS game... what do i do :(
You are amazing. Thank you.
After installing rom 3DS, could we delete file install from the SD card ?
thanks for the help Russ! Very easy guide to follow along with :3
best video on this thats been made. ty :3
I am stuck. I am still looking for the "any"-key on my keyboard. Pls help. 🙃
Amazing guide! I'm so glad I found your channel and will definitely be subscribing.
Hurry before Nintendo nukes the hshop into oblivion with all this publicity.
Yeah, I give it until the end of the month. Nintendo is really good at ending things through legal flexing.
Yep, is rather the hshop stayed on the DL. Guess I need to get my other 3ds modded before it goes away.
@@thesuperzfamilyvlog6607 it’s like every UA-camr discovered this all of the sudden, Nintendo won’t just sit by.
is this channel sponsored by Nintendo, hshop is definitely going to get shut down. thanks nob head
The app is open source. If the web backend (the website) is taken down, others might appear and can easily adapt the current app to the new site.
I see what you did there witht he qr code... Smooth!
every time i try to install games, the install only gets so far before the timer slowly gets really long and eventually the install fails
Love the "Any Key" Joke you added in there, lol. Great video and can't wait for the next one.
I laughed at it too. But it can certainly happen that some do not understand the joke and give up because they can not find Any Key 🙂
After pressing "Install game image" and the content appearing on the home screen, do you still need the .3ds file in the roms folder? Or are you free to delete it from the folder after it installs?
Same question here.
Will there be a Twilight Menu guide anytime soon?
This is a helpful tutorial. But does anyone else have problems with wireless connection games. I try to play with my brother who uses a Ds but for somereason we cant connect.
And to install Nintendo Ds games on 3DS?
I need the original card for downloading the game??
I know this is a far fetched question. Is there a download link for your game library?
6:30 caught me off guard hahaha
So I went to dump 4 games in the ROMs/3ds file and it's saying "file too large for the destination file system" for one of the four games (Ultra Sun) when I clearly have enough space in my SD card. Any reason why?
So i deleted pilotwings on my sd card but i can still play the game. how come?
Is there a way I could do it for multiple roms
How I can download and play my DS games on 3DS ? I was able to dump my cartridges games into 3 micro SD card but I'm not sure if it applies to the DS games cartridges I have...

Does it work with DS games?
I can't get to work for me it said the rom file can max size is less then 5GB
This was a PHENOMENAL video. Take my subscription!
I don’t understand the terminology at all so idk if this was mentioned but is there a way to download a game onto the 3ds when u don’t have the cartridge

Can anyone tell me how to delete stuff off the home menu that I dont want? Like old game demos.
Sorry unrelater query.but can we play multiplayer retro games in fire sticks
I'm hoping someone is going to read this. If i modify a rom (mainly changing shiny odds for pokemon) will the 3ds still be able to run it?
when i try download a game thru the hShop i get error codes?
Maybe no storage space?
Time to boot up my 3DS again soon
if you install a game cart on the homebrewed 3ds will the physical game cart still be playable on other 3ds?
The way you tip toe around internet piracy is amazing 👏
Yep.
Is there a way to copy your already converted.3ds file extension hands to the device without putting it on the Home Screen? (Like in the roms / 3ds folder to access and play that way to not crowd your Home Screen? Thx again! Great vid as always! I only found 3vids for 3ds too? Will there be more??
I dont have a ROMS folder. What should I do?:(
just create a folder.,, roms"
my .3ds files failed to install
Great video!
at 2:44 if you can do it with 3ds games can it be done with normal ds
I tried but it says NDS image options instead and doesnt work
once again russ you are the absolute man! Your videos and you personally helping me on discord have helped so much with all my problems. thank you so much for all you do dude!
nice info, Russ.
Yo bro. Can I save de Savefile from the gamecard too? I don't want play from new
When you install a game from the cartridge where is the game data located on the SD card?
more 3ds content please. Ihave enjoyed this series
can I install ds game rom in 3ds?
Is the "NCSD image option" not coming up for anyone else? That is not coming up for me, only the other four options.
when I go into godmode 9 and select a rom, the "NCDS image options" doesn't show up. what can I do to fix this?
Where's the any key? I'm stuck at the step where I need to find it.
I see control, option, and command. Is it close to those?
CIA wont install for me. It will say its finished but nothing on the home screen
I have a number of .3ds files. Another video shows you having to convert to .cia on the 3ds first, then use FBI to install. Does either method work? This method seems faster. Also, once it's installed do you delete the rom from the roms/3ds folder?
This is so incredible. I have a large library of carts that I'd love to dump into the 3DS for easier travel.
what do u do if the game cartridge is empty
I can't find any key on my keyboard
Sorry, you'll have to shop around for a new keyboard then.
“Find the Any key on your keyboard and press that.”
Nice Simpsons nod.
Silly question, but any way to copy saves from cartridges while saving image icons?
Where the hell is the any key?!?!
Try a different keyboard! It's gotta be there somewhere!
Does anyone know if the cartridge will still work after installing the game to the system?
I don't have an "install game image" option when I click "NCSD image options". How can I play the rom?
Does it work for ds games?
