[Fixed] PSA: Don't factory reset your 3DS if you want to play online.

More details here: https://pretendo.network/blog/12-23-23 The gist is that if you factory reset your console you can no longer play online at all. You will receive error code 006-0303 whenever you try to play online. There's no fix, and will probably never be. Wii U is also affected. Pretendo will ...

Re: Custom Firmware?

It's fine. Makes no difference. Some homebrew might have issues but it's rare.

Re: Lost Product Key

Loopy's board don't require a product key and he has not made one for the 3DS XL. Optimize boards (katsukity) used them and have one for the 3DS XL. Send an email to optimize_shop@netdevice.co.jp asking them for the product key and tell them your device ID. You can find your device ID when you launc...

Re: GBA ports (Link Cable/GBA to GC Link)

The link port can't be added to the DS line. There's full motherboard scans on bitbuilt.net for the DS Lite if you want to see for yourself. There are plenty of HDMI options for the GBA already that it's probably not worth it when the DS capture card covers most GBA games. You have the Analogue Pock...

Re: Can I replace the cartridge slot on a n3dsxl with a capture board

https://3dscapture.com/install/index.html Loopy's installation guide. There's a part where you have to remove the cartridge slot. Replace it when you get to that point. You can also find YouTube videos on it. Look up bottom screen replacement videos as they also have to remove the cartridge slot to ...

Yes. The cartridge slot is a modular part on the New 3DS XL.

Re: Looking for capture card for regular N3DS

Loopy doesn't make them, not yet at least. Only the katsukity boards (optimize.ath.cx) supported the smaller N3DS, but katsukity is out of business and Optimize no longer sells them. Your only option is to get a board meant for the New 3DS XL and try to fit it inside the smaller N3DS. I don't know o...

Re: DS TV Out Mod

DS Lite is like, the most common thing out there. I do think there'd be a bit more demand for that than the Phat, which is getting a bit harder to come by nowadays. I also like being able to use Phat/Lite as a GBA capture device or for dongle stuff. This is really its only niche use, but I am very ...

Re: Is the only option at the moment New 3DS XL?

Not to Loopy. For the old 3DS XL, there's only optimize.ath.cx capture boards. Plenty of modders and resellers on eBay, and some operate outside of that (delfinocustoms, rubyotaku). However, some of them don't take care to make it look nice, so don't send in your special edition if you care about it...

Re: Jig for drilling USB-C hole

hmm not sure if it's possible to use this because my 3ds is already pre modded with the capture card. Not sure what you mean. I used the measurements from one that Loopy modded during the beta, and then used it to install both a new and old version. It works to make a decent hole for the USB-C port.
