(if you're over firmware 11.3.0.X, then update to 11.9.0 (latest firm) do frogminer)
Additionally, video guides exist, but they're looked down upon as the info becomes outdated quickly and the uploader doesn't bother to make a new vid for small, but important, changes

There's some risk after you hack the system, but only if you do risky stuff with the system. For what you want to do, there should be no risk. Just make a nand backup as soon as you can.
could u plz tell me how to use ntr cheat with forgminer or if there any other way rather than sharkiv

Monster Hunter games are also pretty big. But in my case the games average out to about 1GB each, and 64GB is enough to fit all the games I personally like with room left over, some people might like other games I don't like as much and would need a bigger card to fit them all. But 128GB definitely should be more than enough for just about anyone.

I think I’m going to stick with my original decision to buy the n3DSXL. Do you guys suggest buying a warranty?
i am not a fan of of that . . . if they can tell you modded the console they can refuse you service
I’m still not sure what NTRboot is but I’m sure I’ll become more familiar as I study more. If not, these are expensive devices to ONLY play Mario Kart 7. Hehe
ntrboot is an exploit for the 3ds that you set up on a flashcard ntrboot boots so early in the boot process that it can be used even in the event that the device has had its nand erased, so through it (and godmode9) you can fix nearly any bricked console . . .

ntr is not used with frogminer
frogminer is used to install cfw
cfw is used to boot bootntr
bootntr is used to load plugins on top of games
plugins contain cheat files

Will installing CFW affect my ability to play online? Are there any other dangers that I should be aware of?

I do understand turning off the automatic updates, sending system info and showing what games I’m playing.

Some of the stuff I’ve seen about being “banned” makes me nervous.

dont cheat online
dont attempt to redownload (from the eshop) things you never legally obtained in the eshop
dont play leaked games before they release

when online your 3ds reports to nintendo the app you currently have open and if you dont have an app open it will report the last app you had open, fear about if this was the key factor during the last banwave prompted luma3ds's developer to add a homebrew masking function to its hotmenu (aka rosalina), with that said it is advised to only use homebrew cia apps offline and when done run a real app . . . for times when you need to use homebrew apps online use .3dsx versions whenever possible

Sorry, I just need a little guidance to get started. I don’t expect to be hand fed on everything. I’ve read a few threads and I’m scared I’m gonna mess something up because some of it might be outdated. It’s also pretty confusing so far. I’m sure that will get better.

Here’s what I’m trying to do, if someone can point me to the best info. I have a “New” New 3DS XL (also a 2DS XL). I would like to rip games (3DS) to ROMs (I guess) and play them. I would also like to be able to download other games and play them. Do I need to modify my firmware AND have a RS card??

Any good videos? I’m 47. I’m fairly computer literate but this is all new for me.

Do I risk “ruining” my systems by doing any of this?

Thanks in advance!
RS? I guess you mean the R4 3DS card, No R4 plays 3DS Games, unless you use it with NTRboot Method to install 3DS CFW, I have ever got a 3ds game flashcart, Sky3ds+, but now spend all my time on Switch with SX OS CFW.:D

with that said it is advised to only use homebrew cia apps offline and when done run a real app . . . for times when you need to use homebrew apps online use .3dsx versions whenever possible

First off, thanks a bunch to you guys.

Not sure what most of this is but hopefully I will with more research. Cia app, real app, homebrew app, 3dsx version.

a application you installed from a .cia
real app,
an application that is actually licensed (regardless of whether or not it was legally obtained)
homebrew app
an application that . . . well is homebrew
3dsx version.
homebrew comes in two forms .cia files ... and .3dsx . . . .cia stands for citra install-able app, citra is the development codename for the 3ds as a cia must be installed it is un-achievable without cfw . . . .3dsx is 3ds homebrew without the ability or need to install you simply drag and drop files to the correct location on your sd card and launch the homebrew menu and a list of apps popup, while they dont need to be installed so they dont always need cfw they can gain extra depth/functions with cfw, some .3dsx apps will need cfw installed as their function is out of the reach of basic (userland) homebrew

. . . i know i probably raised more questions

how i can use bootntr to load plugins
here is a guide to install bootntrselector [Release]BootNTR Selector. . . it will allow you to choose which version of bootntr you want to use (some games need different versions of the program)
here is a guide you can use as a how-to reference point [Guide] How to install/use NTR "CFW" (cheats/real time saving)

These are all from B&H Photo. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/

I need to buy a USB adapter because I don’t have one. Suggestions on these is appreciated.

lol either the 3ds's sd slot is less advanced then modern sd cards . . . regardless of the cards speed the 3ds will give you the same speed as these are both more advanced/faster than the hardware

i dont know this company from a hole in the wall . . . so let me say this it is important to get your sd card from a reliable source (to avoid counterfeit cards), if you have a counterfeit sd card then you can expect corruption to occur on the sd card (or even within the console itself leading to a bricked system) . . . if you want to test the validity of your sd card there is a pc app for that
H2testw (Windows), F3 (Linux), or F3X (Mac)

I can personally vouche for B&H Photo Video. I bought SD cards and hard drives from that e-store before.

Edit - It's been in business for a very long time but for some reason, does not have the presence of say Newegg or TigerDirect (probably because us consumers focus on gaming rigs). B&H specializes in photo & video tech with surround accessories like lens for cameras, projectors, and studio headphones/mics.

***


The first two with UHS-3 and UHS-2 speeds are overkill for 3DS usage. Those cards are meant for 4K video recording and professional photo cameras. While they'll work with the 3DS, they have terrible capacity per price point. The Transcend option has a reasonable cost. While the PNY comes bundled with a dual USB 3.0 and USB C adapter, you may want to purchase one that also does standard size SD cards.

If you're deciding on 64 GB, these would be more in line:

Thank you. That was my suspicion about the speed.

And yes B&H is VERY reputable. You should check them out. I’ve shopped with them on several occasions over the last 10 years or more. Including purchases of high end camera equipment. I’m probably getting the DS from them. Blk n3DSXL $189 no tax, free shipping.

Don't forget to get a AC charger if you don't have one already. n3DSXL don't come with one.

if you mean this one R4i Gold 3DS Plus、R4i Gold 3DS Plus --nds-card.com then its preflashed with ntrboot (there is a psychical switch inside the flashcard you need to flip to access it) and ndscard once upon a time was gbatemps official sponsor shop they are reputable and located in china so it can take weeks to receive your product but they have a good track record . . . i would (and do) recommend them

NDSCard not Nintendo, it's a flashcard not the game card, so you can't buy from Nintendo. NDS-Card had been the gbatemps official sponsor for a long time, so many people of there will recommend you it, the site is ok to buy R4i gold 3ds plus, note it's shipping from China(The Chinese Biggest Lunar Spring Festival is coming nearly, they will have a Long Holiday soon after maybe 1 to 2 weeks, so in order to have it shipped soon, you would better order now or choose a site can send it from USA directly, https://www.mod3dscard.com/).

Is this the right one?

https://www.mod3dscard.com/home/3-r4i-gold-3ds-rts-plusbest-r4i-gold-for-any-3ds-dsi.html

Can anyone else vouche for this site?

What size micro SD card does it need?
in this order
yes it is

no i cant (never used it)

again as big as you want the flashcard has the same fat32 file format limitation as the 3ds (and formatting it to fat32 will be the solution if needed) now .nds games are a lot smaller with the largest one i ever had being about 1 gig and the average .nds game being 1/4 gig to 1/2 gig so most people are fine with a 16gb or smaller . . .you can easily fit like 30 games (chosen completely at random) on a 2 gig . . . now if you only wanted it to be a ntrboot card you dont need any sd card (its pre-flashed)

Thank you! I am just trying to find somewhere in the US to buy the R4.

Does using the R4 require CFW?

Am I correct that it only allows playing on DS games not 3DS?
