Hello!

I've noticed that hardware modding guides are a rarity for some of the more complicated ones, such as the 2DS joystick mod. Guides are also scattered across the web, and sometimes quite hard to find, so having a central source could prove beneficial.

I'm working on a site that acts as a hub for all hardware modifications for the 3DS family of systems. The guides will be community driven, with complete credit given to the creators of each guide.

The site uses Vitepress, the same SSG as 3ds.hacks.guides. It will be hosted on GitHub pages to start at least, then potentially its own domain if traction is high. I could get a release up after a few guides are up.

I'm looking for people who'd be interested in contributing in adding guides. I need high quality photos of most steps, a list of tools required, then general instructions for the process. I can then format it to a step by step guide, and clear it with you. You *will* be credited.

Guides I'm looking for are USB-C installations for each model, Bluetooth mods, the 2DS joycon joystick mod, the psp1000/Lenovo ThinkPad nub mod installation, wireless charging mod installation, any custom battery mods that aren't drop ins, capture card installations, controller mod installations, and anything else I may be missing. If you'd like to contribute, shoot me a DM!

Here is a screenshot of the front page so far. It's a major WIP, so expect differences on release.

As nice as it sound not a lot of people are willing to share guide on stuffs on this, especially for people that like install capture cards it is like their bread and money.

Exactly, that's the main reason I'm working on this! - there's not many existing guides out at the moment.

Whether i get submitted guides or not though, I'm gonna put my own tutorials as well.

it was originally just gonna be a site for my own hardware mods which I'd document along the way, but I figured the community may be interested in contributing as well.

It's a hobby project more than anything though, so whether It flops or succeeds, I'm okay with it.
