It's been a year since I connected my Pikachu 2DS XL, and I decided to try and see if it was still working. My Windows 11 computer chimes when I power the 2DS on and off while connected, as well as when I unplug and replug the cord. Trying a different port doesn't change the outcome.
I tried downloading the 3ds_capture and using the new one, but no change. I also tried running the "Driver for New3DSXL", but I got this message in the attachment.
3DS not connecting.

Re: 3DS not connecting.
Try this instead

You need "new3ds_view"
Make sure to install the drivers from it

Re: 3DS not connecting.
Make sure the USB C is fully plugged in. It has to make a sound once it plugs into your computer, it can charge the 3ds without being fully plugged into the 3ds. I feel dumb but mine wasn't FULLY inserted
Once I pushed it all the way in it worked perfectly.Re: 3DS not connecting.
Mine is a micro usb but it makes the sound when I plug it in.
