I bought a New Nintendo 3DS LL complete in the box. So lets homebrew it, and show you what it can do.

it's really cool to have nintendo's entire handheld history playable on one system.

I snagged a like new 3DS LL(older version not "new") for $60 that arrives in a few days. So this video came at a perfect time. Thanks for the great content.

It makes no sense that the 3DS systems are region-locked when even older Nintendo handhelds were region-free out of the box like the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and the DS.

This is the console that I've been using for homebrew recently. I've had it since launch, though for those buying I'd say beware of some of the issues with this 3ds. I love this console but both me and several others have had the battery become inflated and unusable after use, though you can easily replace it with another 3ds battery. The paint also seems to peel off very easily after using it for a bit. I don't know if later models fix this. Also, be careful taking the back cover off, you can break it very easily if you're too rough. But if you do you won't have to worry about taking the cover off again I guess ;)

I bought a new Pearl White LL about a year ago and looked through the guide to change regions on it. At the time, the guide suggested opening it up, soldering wires to the pads around the internal flash chip, and using a specific SD card reader to write a new flash image. I decided to shelve it until I could get around to designing a flat flex PCB that would slip through the external SD card slot. It has been sitting, disassembled, on my shelf since.

This looks easier. Think I’ll just do this.

Man I remember when I first installed CFW on my 3DS, back then the process was incredibly difficult and it involved flashing an incredibly old firmware for a bit to allow for an exploit. It took like 5-6 hours to fully install CFW and any little mistake would brick the 3DS and be completely unrecoverable. Pretty amazing to see it brought down to 5 mins!

I bought a japanese standard 3ds for an equivalent of 30 dollars on ebay and changed the region to PAL. Probably the best value gaming system

I must say, I do appreciate how you and some other YouTubers qualify their videos with "in 2021" in an effort to make sure if someone finds the video in a few years and things have changed, they don't come complaining to the comments.

Living in Japan I used and repaired the LL (dozens now) for years. I loved to see one in the video! Thanks!

That is very cool to see, the 3DS has so many features beyond its past iterations could handle.

I am so happy to own one of these! I was able to gather all my games from the Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS/DSi and Nintendo 3DS (and besides that, Super Nintendo, Genesis, Master System, Game Gear etc.) into one single quality built portable system. Sure, I love my switch for modern games, but the compactness of the 3DS, low power consumption (4-12 hour on 1750mah battery) and the ease of use is really hard to beat. I really love this thing!

Lmao, I wonder if that was intentional or a superb coincidence.

Without a doubt one of the best purchases possible today. I missed the wave of the 3DS initially but grabbed and modded one last August. The game library is literally amazing. The home brew scene is full of great content that makes the console even better that’s made by some very talented people. Overall, this console rocks! Great video as usual

[pablocoss]

While I'm a bit reluctant to mod my old 3DS, being able to play GBA games on it is tempting. Excellent video as always, MVG.

[droidon]

Thank you so much for explaining this mod, it’s fascinating how the homebrew scene evolves quickly, After watching this i got the same 3ds LL and it works great, indeed a new world with plenty of functionalities. Cheers!

The only downside of the 3ds family always was region lock, really glad that in 2021 this isn't a problem anymore, also its more easier to do now than before and i didn't knew that, i hope to see more homebrew videos of different consoles :d

Ah man. Spotted this right before I went to bed. Time to stay up a bit longer!

“These guides tend to become obsolete about 6 months after they come out”

Me watching this video 7 months later

I homebrewed my new 3DS xl when soundhax was still a thing, I remember being so scared of bricking but it's one of the best decisions I've ever made, I still use it more than the Wii U I got and homebrewed last year. Thank you for pointing people to the written guides. There are so many people who have bricked their devices following an old video guide that became outdated in weeks.
