Just got the console and love it but when i plugged it in windows discovered it but the 3DS drivers installed, afterwards the capture app itself said there was a firmware update but that wouldn't go anywhere as it kept saying failed. So I tried to see if I could find one on the forums (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1493&p=5907&hilit=firmware#p5907) and installed fine
still black screen in the app but now windows wont make a sound at all when i plug in the usb, i tried 2 cables and they both work on my nexus 7 but not on 3DS capture device. I can't find the old drivers on the windows device manager at all and I'm overall stumped
edit 1: after i started up a different computer (laptop) and plugged the device in for the first time windows didn't even make a noise either.
edit 2: after following this http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/504/how- ... -services/ I found the 3DS drivers it was greyed out so I uninstalled them along with driver software, unplugged usb and capture device, plugged it back in and nothing.

Bad news. You flashed it with DS capture firmware (not 3DS) and bricked it . You're not going to get it working again, unless you happen to have a JTAG programmer. I can send you another board if you're willing to replace it yourself. It's not hard to do if you can get the back cover off. Or you can send back the 3DS and I'll fix it instead.

Were you trying to run a beta version? (from over here I guess, the other beta thread is long since dead and buried). The software on the front page (http://3dscapture.com/) should not have asked you to update the firmware. The beta version is like 6 months old and hasn't been updated to work with the last batch of boards.

kind of figured as much.
Depending on the steps to required to replace the board. Is it as simple as unscrew the board and unplug and wire then throw the new one on?
if its that simple you can send the other board.
I ran the driver from the front page on 3dscapture.com and i ran the software from viewtopic.php?f=3&t=809
For some reason the software kept failing to update firmware.
I'll PM you my address

PM'd you shipping details.

I updated the beta to work with the new boards, and fixed the DS flasher so it won't kill 3DS boards

at least some good came out of this lol. thanks again loopy. you're the best

your replacement arrived today loopy and after getting the screws out and replacing the card. the beta 3DS capture software still says firmware BUT now learning from my idiotic mistake. I downloaded the latest from the home page. Works great now. your other 3DS capture board will be in the mail early tomorrow
thanks again loopy you're the best.
and do you accept donations on paypal at all? I feel the you deserve it for your time.

The beta will still make you update the firmware, but it shouldn't fail this time. I certainly wouldn't turn away a donation, my paypal address is paypal@3dscapture.com if you want to send something.
