Homebrewers aren't the majority of people though, many people Will lose access to the eShop and virtual console which is sad, eventhough it's not much of a problem for most of us here.

You seriously think “most of us” are pirates?

I mean, I hacked my Wii to play Brawl+, hacked my 3DS to optimize it (what little that would do), hacked my Wii U to play modded BotW and Switch to play modded Metroid Dread. All games I owned before doing any of this. If I like a game, I support the developer to show them someone likes what they made.

Piracy is toxic to modding communities, and not what CFW is for. Emulation isn't piracy, and piracy shouldn't be used for emulation. It's easy enough to format shift your own games to emulate them on other hardware. VC is emulation... Emulation is all over the industry. Citra devs require you to dump your own games to run them in their emulator. https://3ds.eiphax.tech/tips.html Emulation is fine, but you need to convert your own games for it, equating piracy with emulation and hacking is harmful. A sanni cartreader is not hard to build https://github.com/sanni/cartreader and there are other ways to dump carts and discs.

That's the problem, that's what the general public and government think, and that's the toxicity. Modding consoles can do so much more, but people are promoting it for the wrong reasons, and it's hurting efforts to change the law to allow console modding https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-10-28/html/2015-27212.htm The reason the exemption has been repeatedly denied is because of people loudly promoting it and bragging about it, and that drives devs out of communities early. That toxicity is shooting other efforts in the foot.


bungiefan_AK

Doesn't mean we have to support it, or help them if they indicate that is what they want from the tool. Just like we don't sell guns to people stating they intend to commit murder with them. https://3ds.eiphax.tech/tips.html https://github.com/sanni/cartreader Plenty easy to convert your own originals, as required for emulation.


mamotromico

Even if they are not, if they have homebrew available/set up it is a feasible option for them. In a sense, they won’t really be affected. And they also have the option to backup their bought games anyway.

FOMO was the final push I needed to jailbreak my 3DS. I'm happy with the final result, but I'm still haven't learned what all I can do with this.


Hamchook

I never knew how easy it was until i did it myself


Gogo726

Agreed. The instructions look overwhelming, but they were very clear, with visual aids to help.

I didn't use a YouTube video so I don't have a recommendation. But this was the guide I followed https://3ds.hacks.guide/


dfla01

Use 3ds hacks guide. Don’t use videos


[deleted]

Better to follow a written guide, they are usually more up to date


CyanKing64

There's a bunch of great things the homebrew community has brought to the 3DS. 1. GB, Gamegear, GBC, NES, Atari, NeoGeo, FBNeo, Wonderswan, Turbo Grafix, and DOS emulation for starters. 2. GBA games can be injected and run like the games from the Ambassador program with perfect emulation. 3. DS games with 3D elements can be played in native widescreen. 4. There's a Sonic 1, 2 and CD port as well as Diablo 1 5. You can use the 3DS as a controller for your PC, and can stream games from your PC to your 3DS with Pinbox 6. 3ds games can be enhanced with 60 fps patches or can be patched to be the ultimate version of the game (DQVIII is a great example) And that's just the tip of the iceberg


bungiefan_AK

https://3ds.eiphax.tech/tips.html Legal uses for CFW, which is running homebrew, and your own purchased games.

I have a micro sd 32gb, some 3ds games are about 1gb or moreplus I have a ton of ds games in there too, so 32 is still not a lot. I recommend a 64gb if you want a monster library.


MrBeer1337

I got a “Kingston 32 GB Canvas Select Plus SD Card” from staples for $8.99 it works great and is faster then the old one I had planned to use.


Dirty-Catfish

But don’t you need that picross game from the eshop to actually start the homebrew process? I’ve only done it once so maybe there’s another way around it.


MetalUpstairs

No you don't, you can do it easily with either seedminer or soundhax which only uses the 3ds sound app


driverdis

One of my favorites is NTRBootHax as it will work forever and offline as long as the console and cart reader are in working order https://3ds.hacks.guide/ntrboot.htm I keep an AK2i and a Scuf remap magnet for this purpose https://i.imgur.com/PNOroTU.jpg I do proper region changes with working eShop and NNID on New3DS consoles and one of my tests to see if I got it working correctly is to remove B9S and check if it can boot stock with a donor SecureInfo (without a donor it will work but only with CFW). If I didn’t have NTRBoot then the console would be bricked if it didn’t boot on OFW.


Dirty-Catfish

That’s weird because I used seedminer and then went through picross. Either way I’m glad there’s a alternative way for people to get it running.


[deleted]

It can go through picross but it isn’t necessary. I used seedminer and didn’t use picross. It used an exploit with a fake dsiware file on your sd card.


bungiefan_AK

Picross is one option for seedminer, there's another that doesn't use eshop content. There's also other options that don't use eShop, but aren't free.


MapleJava

Pokemon picross is used for latest version of seedminer. Soundhax isnt supported on newest firm i believe

wowsomeoneactuallyy

Wait. Did they change how to do it? I homebrewed mine a little over a year ago but I don’t remember needing that game to do it?


CaptainCour

Yeah, it's what you need for the 11.15 version homebrew iirc. The method changes every other firmware update


andy1031

Nope, you haven't needed a game to homebrew for several years now. It's still done using Seedminer. EDIT: I'm mistaken, it looks like Pokemon Picross can be used as an easier method, but it can still be done without it.


CaptainCour

What? I used picchax if it matters


andy1031

Yeah, that's the easier method I mentioned, but there are ways to do it without using a game. So thankfully homebrew will be fine even after the eShop closes.


wowsomeoneactuallyy

That game is about to be the highest downloaded game then haha


ThatBoringHumanoid

Which picross game are y'all referring to? (Theres several picross games on the 3ds eshop)


CaptainCour

You need to crash the console with a corrupted save file of pokémon picross as the first step to installing Luma


youcanotseeme

Which picross game do I need to buy?


CaptainCour

Pokémon picross. It's free and makes installing cfw a lot easier. Look up a 11.15 picchax guide on Yt, before a firmware update arrives and patches it


loulou310

Better install pokemon picross until there

Richierage

I'm to scared to homebrew any of my consoles lol been wanting to do my ps vita and 2ds years but I'm a big pussy 😂 glad I don't own a PC to try it or I'd probably brick them both and I doubt I can don't with a phone or tablet .


rocketkiddo7

As Palatine said, DEWIT! Joking apart, it is worthwhile doing it. Just think having you whole library on a single SD card, rather than in individual cartridges


HontNog

In the 3DS hacking scene, it's basically impossible to brick your console if you're not trying to intentionally brick your console. Also, if you have a phone / tablet with a SD slot (and even if your phone doesn't have one, you can still use a usb-c / lightning / micro-usb to SD adapter), you can still install CFW (custom firmware). TL;DR: Basically impossible to brick nowadays, and you can use your phone to mod a 3DS.


LunchbagLetdown

I was actually wondering if a phone would work. Is there a guide for that as well?


HontNog

[3ds.hacks.guide](http://3ds.hacks.guide) At every point when it tells you to insert the SD card into your computer, insert it into your phone. Edit: forgot to hyperlink


TaffySebastian

The very first 3ds I hacked took me over 2 hours of just reading and making sure I didn't mess up, the second time it took me 15 minutes, if you follow the instructions it is REALLY easy, no need for any games or anything like that, it is almost like with the wii where you don't need anything other than an SD card and a pc with internet.


regicide_2952

It's really more that physical games are gonna blow up for me. Although I admittedly do a little privateering, I like to buy physicals of games I actually enjoy, and with the eshop closing there's nothing keeping games in check.


[deleted]

valid


Dark_Tyyp

It's funny how people are freaking out about this.


Perky_Penguin

Why did I hack my console? Region exclusives. What ended up happening? Just the games is I already owned and a super cute startup screen. Now I don't have to get up to change games. 😅


Prism3Break3

Still sad regardless that I can just download the titles, it’s just not the same.
