Hi please answer my question does the capture mod work with only the ds motherboard connected with no screens connected? As I am thinking of modding a 3ds to output to a laptop and using just the board in a 3d printed enclosure would be a lot slimmer.
This is one of those things where I know I'd never use it, but I still want to get one anyway just because modding is fun (as long as nothing goes wrong, anyway 😅) I would definitely be more interested in a proper consolizer mod, so I can skip the software and hopefully use a controller instead of still using the 3DS for input. Obviously that wouldn't work for every game, but it would for a lot of games.
there is an input redirection client for 3ds consoles ! simple homebrew gives you the option, and you can control the game with something like an xbox controller :-)
@@AndresRodriguez-cc5kynot everyone has internet or wants to rely on shoddy WiFi to be able to play on a bigger stream tho. What I’m getting at is some people do need that or just prefer it for a variety of reasons. Copper connections just tends to be more reliable especially longer term. Eventually WiFi isn’t gonna be a thing anymore and then you’re stuck waiting possible years (or never) for a homebrew fix.
Side-note: I now think it would be great if someone made a 3D printable case for the 3DS that included a channel for the usb and 3.5mm cables and held them snug so that there's no chance of issues down the line. The case could even include grips... heck since we're going that far let's make it a circle pad PRO addon/mod hahah.
I did this for a AV out mod for my DS lite. Bought a cheap plastic case on amazon, glued on/heat welded joy-con grip holders to either side. Used the top screen part of the case to house the cable, ribbon cable, and board.
Too bad it requires a software to be usable, it should output to micro-hdmi at a standardized definition, and propose a software that could handle the video output to manage the screens easily
It would be cool to have two separate windows instead; one for the top and the other for the bottom. This way, owners of mult-monitor PC setup can use one monitor for top screen and the other monitor for the bottom screen. So many years has past, people still do the same old thing... One Window, Two Screens.
Thanks so much for the vid!! I'm super interesting in modding, though this one might be a bit advanced for someones first time. I'll definitely have to check out your other stuff
At around 9:40 These are just wires, huh? No isolation or anything. I don't see anything on the board that could short but damn that's weird as an electrician. Also, you most likely won't remember, but as a dude who might attempt this in the future, what kind of solder wire and temps were you using?
I would settle for something like the Rhotronix NDS TV out. Something that took the top-screen video signal and converted it to microHDMI or USB-C alt-mode. Nice-to-haves would be; an ability to pair with some homebrew that let you swap screens, display both in TATE mode or do picture-in-picture like the DS TV out and an external daughter board with a USB or Bluetooth connector for external controllers (dualshock 4 and dualsense 5 come to mind for touchscreen capability).
Thanks so much for this! I’m poor and always super late to gaming stuff so by the time I can do stuff it’s over saturated with awful totally not helpful “tutorials” or “upgrades” I either can’t do or don’t trust. (Don’t have internet and even if I did I don’t really trust relying on Wi-Fi for something like this.) Thanks so much for a followable, honest guide. I’m hoping to get a capture card (and possibly new 3ds) for Xmas this year and install it as a present to myself and it’s getting harder and harder to find install tutorials for the hard mod version like this.
Be careful. No matter what I do, I still don't get a picture signal via USB. I've re-soldered everything dozens of times, but nothing has changed. I did some research and found out that the drivers are pretty buggy. But if you still want to buy it, I wish you the best of luck.
I've won and ebay auction for 3ds LL and to my surprise it has this capture card installed, but it needs product key to run software any idea how could I actually get it?
You can probably find the service somewhere still but if someone’s doing this themselves I doubt they’d ever want to sell it except maybe for emergency funds
@@dubesinhower I definitely recommend it! I have a website up where I install capture cards so if you need any advice or anything if you decide to do one yourself ill happily help!
Hello... I need help and I really hope a kind soul here is willing to help me out. So I've finally managed to do the entire installation.... me and my partner did our best with all the soldering and everything. It all seems connected well, everything with the console worked perfectly when I reopened it first try, but when I connect it to my computer and run the software and get to this window at 18:53, my DEVICE ID= UNKNOW and I can't type something in there. Is it supposed to say the Serial number of the paper I received with my capture card? If yes, Why doesn't say that? and How do I fix it? I can write the Product key in the correct spot fine but the DEVICE ID stays at UNKNOW no matter what I try. Anyone knows how to fix it pretty please?? It's like the only thing missing so my capture card can finally work!
Update: I restarted my computer and tried again (yes I know, I didn't think about that the first time) Now I have the Device ID number that appeared magically when I plugged in the console. Sadly, I got the no valid data message with a black screen, then the top screen of my 3DS appeared in the software but was frozen, a few seconds later, top screen again but the image was weirdly placed in the frame with the colors all wrong almost as if they were negative colors. Purples appear green and pinks appear blue. Few more seconds later, same thing but now with both screens... so yeah.. clearly the software recognizes the capture card and it connects, but the connection isn't good. I wish I knew exactly which part of isn't good. Will try again tomorrow with a new cable to see if that helps.
Maaaaan, I'm severely tempted to purchase the N3DS capture board, but I have exactly ZERO expertise in the installation process, including soldering. It's a shame that pre-modded devices are so damn expensive...
@@dubesinhower My new years resolution is to finally get this done--whether it be to luck out and finally get a mod when Loopy goes in stock, or if it means paying someone else to get this done for me. Just a matter of finding reputable installers.
Hi. I just bought the mod for the 3DS xl from Optimize. Really excited to do the mod in the next few weeks. What is that liquid you put on the Board at 6:49 before soildering? 🤔
Great work man i didnt know this mod exhisted. Man i bet it sure was tedious taking that thing apart and putting back together multiple times. What did you use to get the ribbon cables back it? Tweezers or fingers?
@@dubesinhower After many fiddles with ribbon cables on 2DS (regular 2DS consoles) of which I own over 5 now (i think) - I found that plastic or ceramic tip tweezers are best since metal ones are often sharp enough to damage the ribbon. Just a friendly tip!
Yea, I tried using Snickerstream and sometimes it would not connect. I think Snickerstream is fine if you're okay with messing around, but if you want a reliable way to record 3DS I recommend a capture mod
Snickerstream is nice as an easy-access solution, but in my experience it can be very unsteady with the framerate and frequently has to reconnect. Performance is also highly variable with the wi-fi network conditions.
Is this mod for 3ds only, not 'new' 3ds? also, are you also familiar with 'loopy controller board' mod, which allows usb 3rd party controller support on the 3ds? I am looking to build a home custom 3ds 'console,' which I intend to have connected to my desktop pc, with which I use a 60" 4k tv. Is that something for which you think you could offer some guidance, with either the actual install or sourcing the parts? I have a 'new' 3ds that I just got, but I'm thinking now that I might just buy a known working 3ds board and all of the connectors and peripherals I need piece mail, and build them into a 'console' made out of wood and custom cooled internally. If such a thing as 'ribbon cable extenders,' things like where the game is inserted and where the new video output mod and controller mod become much easier to manage and customize. Anyway, I've really been giving this a lot of thought, and I would really like to avoid spending $1,800.00 sending mine off to get modded in a way that I don't even really think is ideal - the actual 3ds factory case. Too small and fragile to contain such a delicate and meticulously installed mod.
when Citra or Mikage get every 3DS game to run correctly THEN those that want to can ditch their 3DS/2DS unless of course they want to do a dump with it
I wanna buy this but the website is so confusing I have no idea how to purchase the device or how converting the money is going to work honestly don’t even know how much it cost either I want both the regular 3ds and the new 3dsxl mod chip any chance u can help walking thru purchasing it?
I have a capture card already installed, but I have an issue where the audio and video stutter and lag, and it doesn't run at a stable framerate... unless I have my webcam on. This is a bit of a roundabout hack though, and I want to solve it normally. It worked perfectly fine until it didn't, and I think a windows update caused this?
Thank you so much for this video! I was about to stumble through the process and make my own video about it but I'm glad you beat me to the punch. I might still make my own for fun but you did a great job explaining everything! Question for you since you're more experienced with modding -- How nice of a soldering iron do you need for a job like this? I've got a pretty cheap $20 one off Amazon that got the job done for repairing a speaker last year but idk if computer parts like this are more delicate and would need something better?
Great !! Umm I have a question on the site it say the dont do New 2ds xl or 3DS XL BUT !! in the order selector it allows you to chose New 3DS XL ???? Do you know if the do a 3ds xl? I tried to email them, but no reply. I just seen in a comment lower down, you say they do one for new 3DS but it a different one.. Is this the one that comes up in order section then, and would you say it probably ALLOT like the one you done, but obviously not the same !! ps sub'd as I love mudding system and done a few..
Hello, I received last week my capture card for old 3ds and I installed it yesterday, being extracareful not to damage anything in the process, but when I turned it back on, the only thing that appeared was the blue screen with the "BOOTROM 8046 ERRCODE: 00F800EF indicating my console was bricked. I don't understand how that could happen, I tried tonight to fix it but my 3ds doesn't even turns on anymore. Do you know how I can unbrick my console ? Thanks in advance, I really don't want to lose my 3ds, I had so much mods and things on it.
This is the same capture card kit that Katsuktty was installing before they got C&D from Nintendo? The program and serial key set up is the same as well. I have an original 3DS that has this capture kit installed it’s pretty awesome. I kinda wish I would have had done a New 3DS instead to take advantage of the better processor ect.
Is there some sort of troubleshooting for this mod? I installed it but I'm having trouble getting the top screen to stay on and it seems to effect the quality of the capture card. I've tried reseating the ribbon wires a couple times to no avail.
@@Traffa99 not that hard really especially with this sorta walkthrough on where to hit the solder points, it's a bit of a pain to put back together again i had to tear it down and build it up about half a dozen times to get both the screens working and all the buttons registering but managed to get it done. just have to be careful.
This particular mod is not compatible with the New 3DS XL, but there is another Optimize capture mod specifically for the New 3DS XL. I actually have one of those, and started making a video for it. However I will say that the New 3DS XL version has a completely different install procedure, and it is much more difficult than this one.
While I do recommend learning how to solder, I don’t recommend starting with the 3DS. I would recommend starting with a SNES JR RGB mod or an N64 RGB mod.
They are pretty reluctant to give their fans what they actually want. At this point, obviously they would rather you buy a switch, and in their corporate minds they probably see anything about reviving their old games as competition for their new games, especially in terms of pokemon.
because? If you don't want to do a capture card mod, then ok.... but if you do.... then why is it a waste of money? The USD to Yen exchange rate is pretty good rn...

Great video! This has inspired me to send my 3ds to someone who knows what they're doing to mod it for me. :P
You should also do the new 3dsxl mod as a tutorial for people it’s sounds like people wanna see that as well

you can use NTR stream which requires homebrew, which is way easier than this, NTR stream has it's ups and downs but it's still great.

@@Traffa99 not that hard really especially with this sorta walkthrough on where to hit the solder points, it's a bit of a pain to put back together again i had to tear it down and build it up about half a dozen times to get both the screens working and all the buttons registering but managed to get it done. just have to be careful.
@@philovermyer6166 Oh It's because I wanna try and do stuff related to this like phones etc I just don't have the things I need
does this work on new 3ds xl?
This particular mod is not compatible with the New 3DS XL, but there is another Optimize capture mod specifically for the New 3DS XL.
I actually have one of those, and started making a video for it. However I will say that the New 3DS XL version has a completely different install procedure, and it is much more difficult than this one.
How hard do you think this would be for someone with no experience with soldering? (3ds xl)
While I do recommend learning how to solder, I don’t recommend starting with the 3DS. I would recommend starting with a SNES JR RGB mod or an N64 RGB mod.
Does this also work with the New 2DS XL?
Unfortunately none of the 2DS consoles are supported
can you try to use the same capture card on a 2ds?
No this mod only works with the original 3DS
stream to nintendo switch?
does it work on 2DS?
Hi! Where can I buy this board?
The link is in the description
cool and difficult mod, but 250p on any modern TV is jus shit.
It wasn’t really meant to be used on a TV, but I would love to see a better method of playing on a tv
Zamn she’s discontinued?!
It's possible for the ninthendo 2ds
Optimize doesn't have a kit for any of the 2DSs unfortunately
Shipping to EU?

Makes me wonder why Nintendo never bothered to build a video output into the 3DS, kinda like what Sony did with the PSP.
Yea, I guess Sony was already invested in TVs so they wanted a way to connect all their consoles to them, even portables
Even the Playstation 2 had HTMI output built into console.
I heard thar Nintendo gave consoles with video output to certain companies for certain reasons.
You mean HDMI? That didn't happen until the PS3.
They are pretty reluctant to give their fans what they actually want. At this point, obviously they would rather you buy a switch, and in their corporate minds they probably see anything about reviving their old games as competition for their new games, especially in terms of pokemon.
Excellent job! Quick question Mr. Dubesinhower: Recommended soldering iron temperature for the flex cable points? Thanks in advance!
I usually keep my iron at 650 F unless I need to do something more delicate or need more power
i have a new 2ds xl AHHHHH
Follows an i fixit guide but “ I think i need to remove the circle pad” yeah okay. So the WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING A GUIDE?!
Also if you got a hacked 3ds no need to butcher your device there's literally a homebrew app that lets you stream
sa sert a quoi a part 1/10 chance de niquer ta nintendo ?
Do you think an idiot could do this? (Asking for a friend)
I highly recommend some previous soldering experience before attempting this mod. It’s pretty easy to follow the steps but the soldering is tricky
Biggest waste of money ever.
because? If you don't want to do a capture card mod, then ok.... but if you do.... then why is it a waste of money? The USD to Yen exchange rate is pretty good rn...
Holy Crack bat Girl this is a $200 CAD mod 😂 I'll pass cool but I'm good
Bruh you're soooo high lol
Bro ever heard of citra
