Install katsukitty N3DS XL kit

[Blaumagier]

I really want to mod my N3DS XL for capture because now I own enough digital games that I've had to upgrade past a 32 gb micro sd card. It's too pricey to keep buying physical copies of games I want digitally on my "main" 3DS or rebuying digital games for my trusty OG 3DS capture. Problem is, I've heard a lot of horror stories about people sending their 3DS's in to katsukitty. I have a monster hunter 4 N3DS XL so its too special to risk having something happen if I sent it to japan. Would it be possible for you to install a board for me if I bought one and sent it to you, loopy? I'm willing to pay whatever you think is fair just for the piece of mind of sending my N3DS XL to someone I've done business with before and trust.

First of all, the success of loopy's product isn't just how the product is installed, it's the product itself. I find it highly unlikely that a katsukity product will work better because someone else installed it. Even if that was the case, what you're asking is honestly a bit. "Hey, I'm going to give several hundred dollars to this other guy, but can you be a pal and put it together anyway?" I know you didn't mean for it to be rude, but at the end of the day I can't see how or why Loopy would be motivated to do this for you when you're throwing money at the other guy.

If you need a card now, then suck it up and buy one from Katsukity with the install. If you feel Loopy is better then be patient and wait until his product comes out, but please keep katsukity related posts over in his neck of the woods.

Does Katsukity even sell the boards separately? I didn't see the option on his site.

But yeah, it's a little awkward. Loopy is probably busy enough without installing his competitor's cards.

Katsukitty is hardly competition to loopy, everyone knows loopy's boards are superio but loopy doesn't produce nearly as many and runs out quickly when he gets new ones. Everyone I know that has a katsukitty board would've preferred loopy's and more still are holding out for it.

That said, I wasn't intending to be rude. In fact I made it pretty clear that I already own loopy's product on a regular 3DS and think it is top notch. I just figured there would be no harm in asking this and that it'd be better to ask this once than ask when he'll have N3DS XL boards ready a million times. If the answer is no, then so be it, no need to be so defensive over it.

In addition to that I remember that loopy said that Katsukity's way to install the New 3DS boards isn't the right one. He goes directly to the screen pins and not the debug pins, which is very unsafe. It can damage the console easily.

Can confirm that Katsu doesn't go to the screen pins. I took mine apart to snap a couple pictures months back.
