Looks like this is my first post outside intro Fourm.

I'm just asking what else can I do with a Modded 3ds. I've done the following already:

  • Played SNES9X
  • Used RetroArch
  • Tried PlayStation 1 Emulation
  • Stream from Handheld to PC
  • Used TwilightMenu
  • Installed Custom Themes
  • Transfer files from Handheld to PC
And that's it. What else can you do on there? I've tried finding guides on how to use hacks/mods of Animal Crossing New Leaf (if anyone still plays it lmk), and anything else that I've been doing is just playing the games that used to be popular back in the day.

I also use a "FTP" app to transfer files from PC to 3DS, without having to power down and remove the micro sd card from the 3DS. Good luck, and have fun! :grog:

Thank you! I already have Universal Updater, but it's hard to choose which apps I should get cause all of them look boring to me.

Do you know any that you recommend on getting?

Some games/engines ports comes to mind, like the Sonic games (Mania, CD and 1/2), Doom, Quake, Half-Life, etc.

Aside from what you listed you could also try layeredFS (basically modding games), i used a few undub ones myself.

Okay that's amazing. I can find the Sonic games on Universal Updater?

The enhanced 3D cheat codes are pretty hot. Especially in Ridge Racer and Kingdom Hearts

That sounds brick-worthy LMAO

Maybe if I had an unmodified 3ds laying somewhere I could do that but I only have one
It’s what I do with my free time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    He put it down when the 3ds came out
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
