No, it won't work with the mac beta software, unfortunately.
Any OSX developers around here? ;)

Cool, did not know there's a forum for this site. for a year now, I been contemplating getting a capture card for my 3ds xl and this might be the place to get one. Just to reconfirm the 3ds xl capture card kit will not be available until the end if next month ?

It's a limited run of boards, there is work on the software yet to be done, it will take time to get up to speed on the install process. The price isn't set, but I was thinking around $200ish. Part of the reason it's taken forever is the board has been almost completely redesigned. It's gone through like 4 revisions now... new firmware, new programming & testing tools, reverse engineering the flashing interface because the IC manufacturer won't release it :x and other headaches. The good news is all that's done now. Nothing needs to change for 2DS and New 3DS except the board shape, so those can be done fairly quickly.

I know it's not an answer to WHENNNN???!?, just wanted to say that it's still coming along.
Hello Loopy.

Some news about the future release of your own 3DS XL Capture Cards ? I guess you have too much work with the classic 3DS Capture Card for now ?

Guest wrote:Once you finish your work with the 3ds XL capture card, I know you had mentioned you would look into a 2ds capture card. Do you know if this will take just as long as the 3ds XL did, or do you think it would be shorter due to having a similar screen display to the original 3ds (and thus you having the appropriate experience)? I'm in no rush to get one but after hearing about the progress on the XL cards and seeing the gamecube controller mod for a 2ds no less I'm a little hyped!

I've been waiting for a XL board forever and it would be great to finally get one with the new model.

Also, do you think you will be taking 3DS XL Capture Card installation orders within the next two weeks? Thank you.

I'll probably buy one when the New 3ds board comes out.

I believe he said $200 or something like that for a SEND IN service.
If you buy everything from him its probably along the line of $400+ dollars with a brand new 3DS XL + Capture Board which isn't bad if you don't already have a 3DS XL.

Loopy how much longer do you think its going to take? Will you be able to accept orders by the end of October?
Also the GameCube controller mod is awesome, and I really would like to see if its possible to get that on a 3DS XL.
