One thing to note is some msd -> sd adapters have the pins on the opposite side of the shell which means the pins are reversed compared to what you will see in some guides

Just double check the keyed corner if it's on the opposite side compared to the diagram your following just mirror the connections

You can only play 3ds games if you buy a Sky3ds. You cannot use cfw beyond 9.2 firmware.

You can use Ninjhax 2.1 with the Sky3ds or Cubic Ninja to play out of region games as well as homebrew.

Get the Sky3ds > Place your games on it > Insert your private header into the template file (if you're going to be online and you don't want a 2week - 1 month temp ban) *You need to insert the header into each games code in the template file*

That's mainly what the Sky3ds is used for. It can only play retail cartridge games, nothing from the e-shop - Newest games it cannot play due to new anti piracy measures.

Sky3ds works on the latest firmware 9.9, yes.

Physical copies of the games. If they're e-shop exclusive, there is no retail cartridge of the game.

A header is a code that every retail cartridge has that is used to identify the game when going online. If Nintendo sees a single header online across multiple 3DS' (A public header), that 3DS will be temp banned.
To get a private header, you'd need a 3DS on 9.2 or lower > Rip a retail cartridge to .3ds format > Extract the header from that rom.
Buy a private header from someone trusted online (can be risky), which usually costs about $10.
Buy a PowerSaves Adapter and use that to extract the header from the save file (You'll have to lookup the guide on how to do this) - About $20 + a retail cartridge.

If those games came out as a physical cartridge & none of them came out recently, then yes.

Go to Sky3ds.com and follow their tutorial for setting your Sky3ds up, that or look up Sky3ds tutorials on this site.

No, you're fine with games that were released that long ago. :P
Just a matter of writing them to the mSD using DiskWriter which you can also get from Sky3ds.com.
If you're not going to go online, you don't need to worry about headers.

do i need mad soldering skills for this or can i just use some adhesive/putty to latch the wires in place?
I mean, i have no problem soldering onto a microsd card adapter, but i have zero confidence in my soldering skills when it comes to boards as i'd like to avoid frying it.

i'm thinking, as long as the contact points are connected and doesn't detach or come off during the process, then it should be all right, right?

and yes, i have a nand backup from when my 3ds was on 8ish something something... then my son went out and updated and...here i am with a 9.9 fw 3ds.

Hardmod on old 3ds


yeah, already so that. he already had the wiring done, sooo... only useful for what to do next after the wiring thing.

i'm still weighing if its worth the risk of busting my 3ds just so i can say to myself that "hey! i did it!" coz thats the main reason i wanna downgrade. though it would be nice to go back down to a hackable firmware and get better emulators, i'm perfectly fine with a 9.9 + ironhax as the 3ds is just there for the 3d while my primary gaming handheld is my vita.

Don't be an idiot, solder the wires on there. If its too risky trusting your own hands just check locally for a "reputable" skilled Street Fighter who has mad soldering skills.

No you cant get ironhax without an official eshop version. Thats the whole point of it

The points are different for the XL, but it only works if you have a nand backup.
