Yeah, read the earlier comments. It was kind of discussed but in reality the project turned out to be exactly what I wanted.
Who needs "fancy-shmanshy" when you can have "instant access"? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[VinsCool]

Well the one screw was broken off when I got this. Then the other one just broke off.
I was just like FUUUUUCK THIIIISSSS and assaulted it with a Dremel. Thankfully the back panel of my 3DS didn't push charges. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You ended raping it for free?

woah woah woah WOAH
Rape culture is a very sensitive thing to just sling around.
Like that is something that you should not say at ALL.

Back on topic, though: I'd also like to note that the cutout does not get in the way of game-play AT ALL. I was a little worried. I mean maybe if you have some really big man hands, it might be a problem but I don't think so.


To answer your question though: Yes, I did. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
but srsly don't joke about rape much because the internet might hate you

It is the internet, people use terms like rape, nazi, and other terms all the time, like ear rape, grammar nazi, etc so I doubt anyone would take it seriously (unless you are Oprah with the over 9000 penis deal she fell for)

I don't know where my backcover is anymore
I have the backcover removed and just a transparant hardcovercase over it, works perfect (only my stylus doesn't fit tight anymore, so have to be carefull not to lose it

By the way guys; I still love having done this. I am now recommending it.

I had that idea to, but didn't want to do it until i had a spare back cover (didn't find anything, so i went with the hardcovercase)

It doesn't take much effort The back panel is also durable enough not to crack while using a Dremel, so no worries about that! Just don't mess it up. No pressure.

Yeah, but i like to do it on a spare 3th party back cover, not my original

Pretty stupid, but why not? It's your 3ds. I just use the micro SD transfer and I have ciangel for games and Luma updater for the CFW. No need to use the SD card anymore once you have a9lh.

Lol....Thanks? xD I mean hey, it gave me something to do. I don't have A9LH, so it's been really really really useful.

 

[xdarkmario]

There were way better ways to do that.

As bad as it looks, its pretty useful. The only negative thing about this is, that the sd card can easily be damaged, maybe you can put something that you can open and close easily there

Actually it is indented enough that it's secure, I promise!

YEEEEAH that's more dangerous, and probably slows transfer rates AND mine is free and doesn't take 30 years to get here from a "Babiwa" seller.

it should not slow down anything, micro sd cas standards like 2.0 and 3.0, its a direct bridge so to say. I dont own one but i speak in computer knowledge

I honestly thought so, but to be quite honest I don't do much work with portable storage.
But still the other three points remain, especially the fact that it'd be more dangerous.
PS: Your siggy says A9HL instead of A9LH

Someone oughta make a custom back cover that looks like a o3DSXL in terms of SD placement and uses one of those extenders to make a fake port in the cover or something.
