#3DS modding

[rottenhellion]

I'm fascinated by the, I dunno what to call it, 3ds subculture that's been emerging now that Nintendo has officially left it behind? Technology thriving away from the corporate overlords that first put it into the world. You love to see it.

Going to (try to) hack my 3DS tomorrow! I’ve never hacked or modded anything before so I’m pretty nervous but hopefully I’ll reblog this with “holy shit, that was so easy!” and then I’ll be able to play Twilight Princess Picross 👍

SAY IT WITH ME, FOLKS.

IF BUYING ISN'T OWNING...

Let's freaking go ~~~ *excited screaming*

Need to change the names to remove all the gibberish numbers on the front of the game files; but other than that, it works ~~

Everything I've tried works ~~ or boots~~ hadn't played any actual games yet

Except of course the emulated games for the 3ds~~ those poor things just sound so CRUNCHY cause they're being emulated on the 3ds anyway, and being emulated on a 3ds being emulated on a steam deck

So super Mario World or A link to the past or emulated games like that might be unplayable ~~ cause it's being ran through an emulator twice lol

Hadn't tried to play any of them yet; and there is slowdown and framerate drops sometimes ~~

But~~ decryption w GodMode9 was a success ~~

My janky photo of SMT IV title screen on steam deck

Hope i can read the game now ~~ specifically the bottom screen cause it was very fun to read in battle menu lol but it might be the exact same idk

And I got to play with emulator settings to try to maybe not have the frame drops but it might just be a thing~~ hope it keeps games playable ~~

So I was correct in assuming the biggest file that shows the games icon while weaving through the filesystem gibberish that is GodMode9, is the game~~

:)

Edit: apparently citra is included in emudeck too~~ was messing around in the settings and found 'other emulators' and there's citra, right there. And all the files have had their gibberish numbers strings removed and the games that were emulated on 3ds to begin with, also removed cause they were janky and unplayable ~~

Have you ever wanted Mr. Ant Tenna to greet you when you turn on your Nintendo 3DS? Now he can! Using this MediaFire link you too can download my Tenna splash screen :D Just unzip the folder and put it in your 3DS's splash folder to use it via Anemone! ThemePlaza link coming whenever it gets approved :)

OMG LOOK WHAT JUST CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY

i got a 3ds xl!! i’ve been wanting one for so long and i finally saved up for one. i could ramble forever about this console so here’s everything i love about it under the cut ^^

customization:

the console has so many customization options. You can change the wallpaper of your console, and you’re able to add badges, which are like little widgets/stickers on your home screen. modding your 3ds allows you to have user made wallpapers and widgets, which gives an unlimited possibility of personalization. You can also customize the outside of the console, like purchasing different 3ds colors, face plates, or console decals. the top of your 3ds is also a perfect spot to put stickers on, if you’re a sticker fanatic like myself. and furthermore, i just learned recently that the new 3ds, and only that system, has interchangeable face plates and has multiple official plates variants you were able to buy in stores

applications:

the 3ds comes with so many cool apps already pre downloaded. the camera app, mii maker, internet browser, voice memo, health and safety warning. heck nintendo even added street pass and a step counter which insentivised you to go outside. i really like street pass because you can meet other peoples miis and collect puzzle pieces when you pass by someone with a 3ds on them. and also the step counter can give out tokens that can be used in 3ds games?! how cool is that! face raiders is also a cool game that came with the console, although a bit weird. goodies like these could entertain you without even purchasing additional games. not to mention there were free games on the eshop, like flipnote studios and badge arcade. it’s super cool to see so many little things on a small console

animal crossing new leaf:

i won’t lie and say i didn’t get this console so i could play my old copy of new leaf. but there’s other games too trust me! mario kart 7, tomodatchi life, rhythm heaven megamix, every pokemon game, n64 zelda, wario ware gold. it’s cool to have all these games on the go, and some of the best games of their respective series. having a console that’s backwards compatible with original ds games is a nice perk. (and with a modded console you can emulate ds, gba, and gameboy games)

modding:

this is like thing the 3ds is known for today. modding your 3ds allows you access to entire 3ds library FOR FREE thanks to hshop, which is a fan made recreation of the nintendo eshop. there’s other apps like netpass, which allows you to street pass people across the world, and pretendo, which is a fan recreation of the nintendo network, allowing you to play games online. you can also mod individual games, like mario kart 7 and tomodatchi life. i think you can also download music and movies straight to your 3ds?? i’m not that knowledgeable when it comes to modding, but this is just the tip of the iceberg of what you’re able to do. if you have a computer and a micro sd card, follow 3ds.hack.guide and MOD YOUR 3DS!! once i buy i bigger sd card i’ll try to mod my console, so i’m crossing my fingers!

there’s so much for me to talk about but these are the reasons i wanted one. i recommended getting a 3ds if you’re a fan of nintendo handheld games and emulation! but yeah that’s all thanks for reading this far haha

i've been doing some inner child work lately!! =w= 💙 (which led to me buying a secondhand 3ds from japan cough) and i've brought a little guy to impart a few wise words!!

[normanthegnome]

I wanna hack my 3ds but I'm a bit of a pussy and I don't wanna brick it cause I'm very stupid and I actually cannot buy a 3ds in Ireland rn (at least that I can find) and I don't trust eBay.

I know it's impossible to 100% prevent bricking, but if anyone has any advice let me know <3

(Also I do have another 2ds but I have poor eyesight and the screen is too small for me, it's not the end of the world if I have to use it but I'd preferably not have too lol)

I want to play Pokémon and see Hilda and Dawn and and Kirby and other stuff

modding your 3ds is so easy

but so is turning it into a paperweight so exercise safety in not letting your ego take over when it comes to clicking " unlock " on a bunch of things while save editing your acnl save

Tomodachi Life Mods

By far my most popular post on this blog is my post about the gay marriage mod by Kobazco. To my knowledge, this mod has been on hiatus for quite some time, and unfortunately will probably continue to remain on hiatus for a long time. This mod requires reverse engineering of the games code, which is complex and takes time.

HOWEVER, there are a multitude of mods that I would like to highlight that actually are available for download currently (including one that actually works around the gender issue). All of them are relatively simple to install (assuming you are either using Citra, or have custom firmware on your 3ds).

Below the cut, I have chosen some specific mods and addons I would like to highlight!

Gender Removal Mod

This mod aims to remove any and all gendered language in Tomodachi Life, replacing any mention of "He" or "She" with They/Them pronouns. Of course, this does not get rid of the gay marriage discrepancy, but it does prevent any of your Miis from being misgendered.

The only issue in my experience, is that the European version of the mod does not change pronouns in Mii News (which I believe is not an issue in the US version of the mod). Some visual stuff is also not edited, but is possibly subject to change in the future, though the developer has not updated the mod in over a year.

Japanese & Korean Tomodachi

This mod replaces Japanese and Korean text from those versions of the game with English text. This mod is relatively recent and still has a few issues, but I think this is a really cool mod if you want to check out the Japanese or Korean versions without having to manually translate text. Most of the text in this mod is not directly translated, and instead is pulled from the English version(s), but it does seek to translate the stuff that is not available in any English versions.

The biggest issue I have had with this mod is specifically with the Japanese version not being able to open Mii News without crashing. I have also had issues with it crashing on an emulator in both versions occasionally (and also has some text formatting errors). Regardless though, I will keep an eye on the development of this mod, as it is being actively worked on currently.

HD Mii Texture Pack

This is a Citra texture pack that gives the Mii faces HD textures. Though not technically a "mod" for gameplay, I do want to highlight it. This texture pack exclusively for Citra that just replaces the low res Mii face textures from the Mii Maker with higher resolution textures. If you are deciding to play the game in HD on an emulator, I think this is something you will appreciate, considering the Miis make up a good percentage of everything you see in-game.

I personally have had no issues with this texture pack, though it seems that some people have had issues with lag and crashing. So, I would just be aware of that if you decide to install this pack.

Tomodachi Enterprise

This is a mod that changes tons of food, adds custom rooms, clothing, activities, interactions, items, and more. This is a mod that I have not actually played myself (yet), but is one i am looking forward to finally checking out. This mod is currently in development and is being actively updated, and I would consider to currently be the most in-depth mod for Tomodachi Life.

The only reason I have not played this yet is other life obligations, but I have seen a lot of what's in it. I would still say that if you are interested in mods like this, I would definitely go check it out yourself!

---

But yeah, this is what I would consider to be interesting mods for the game if you are looking for something like that. All of these come from Gamebanana, and this is not the full extent of what is available on there, these are just some of my personal favorites. I suggest looking into it yourself if you are interested, or if you are interested in developing mods for the game yourself! I just wanted to highlight some mods that I find interesting. I may post some other mod related stuff if you are interested!
