The year is 2034, after 10 years of nonstop work modders have figured out a way for the 3DS to play DS games in 3D. A total of five very happy people use this new capability

[Geneolgia]

Gyro aiming for Metroid Prime Hunters is just brilliant, what a way to give new life to an underrated game.

I swear, with each year that goes by, my 3DS becomes the best system I've ever owned. I can emulate any handheld except the PSP/Vita, any console from the 8-bit/16-bit generations (including 32X), I can play Pico-8, I can play Virtual Boy in 3D, I can play GBA and DS through hardware and with improvement, and as an afterthought, I can also play 3DS!

The modding community for the Wii U and 3DS community is insane. Legit wizards and I’m excited to try all these recent new stuff out. Thanks for the heads up, Jon!

"We are going to remaster you next" The most mischievous quote yet.

It's worth mentioning the DS offered an innovative wrist strap that also functioned as a thumbpad to use for analog control on the touch screen. My first play through of Mario 64 was using this method. It worked so well that I used it for any game that offered it. In fact, I called and ordered a spare from Nintendo after my puppy at the time chewed the original.

I was so hyped when I saw the thread for analog in 64DS pop up on GBATemp
One of the coolest things 3DS has gotten in recent years imo

The 3DS Community grows stronger, love to see it!

Time I spend modding my 3DS > Time I spend actually playing games

[Jamsch]

Your latest videos have been extremely cool, and really helped to spice up my own 3ds. Keep up the good work!

[DragAmiot]

By the way, people. It appears that a few months ago, at long last, Golden Sun Dark Dawn was finally made playable through Twilight Menu++. The DS compatibility is now, for all intents and purposes, complete. Absolute wizardry

[BinglesP]

I love the 3DS scene in general. It's genuinely so amazing that a family of systems from the 2000's-2010's can play millions of games across almost every game generation, and you don't even have to know how to code to get all this CFW on it. It's not just the basic homebrew either; there's QR code download sites, lost media still being found, ROM hacks and even new games entirely, even 3D print downloads to make custom cartridge holders, stands/cases, and styluses. I still use my New 3DS XL to this day and play all sorts of games on it.

I just hope the hacking scene makes the system popular enough for me to get StreetPass regularly again(though I have spotted it happening on a few recent instances). A global StreetPass thing would be awesome, especially.

I'm glad you did a video on this! Super Mario 64 DS is SO much better with analog control, and I'm so glad you explained how to use the pixel perfect mode as well because that looks so much better! I'm also ecstatic you brought up Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks with these mods. It genuinely feels amazing to play!

[ianfreeman]

For StarFox Command, you can change the control type in the in game settings to Type B and that will invert your Y axis without having to apply a different version of the cheat.

Logged nearly 1, 000 hrs into Prime Hunters multiplayer back in the day—that mod is so sick.

[stevenreyes]

Every video you make answers some of my most niche burning questions i have about systems ive barely touched in years and I'm living for it

[Fragrance]

9:36 I believe you can change the main screen in Twilight menu by pressing L + Down + Select. Thus you could in theory play on the topscreen.

[Exellocks]

Flower Sun and Rain getting an analog movement mod is so funny considering it's pretty much just a walking sim lol

[seseiSeki]

Didn't know you could get gyro aim with Prime Hunters, that's amazing.
0:58 TWL Menu isn't the loader. It's a GUI for starting games via nds-bootstrap, which is the actual loader.
1:08 TWPatcher doesn't patch TWL Menu, but TWL_FIRM. The thing responsible for DSi mode on 3DS.

[Pixelman]

The coolest part is that most of these are cheat codes instead of romhacks. I am SO excited to give spirit tracks another go with a c-stick, and adding gyro to metroid prime hunters blew me away. Insane!
