Hardware 3DS capture cards never left

[Dionicio3]

I'm just posting this since it's a common thing I see here on the forum, as well as elsewhere, that 3DS capture cards are dead. With Katsukity closing shop, everyone just assumed that capture card options disappeared. Katsukity was just an installer for Optimize capture kits, and that's still around for a number of 3DS consoles. However, if you have a n3DS XL/LL specifically, I'd highly recommend going for Loopy's capture card. I'll link the pages for both here. This thread is just here to "correct" a little pet peeve of mine, and I hope it helps someone

Optimize capture cards

I don't see a card installation service for O3DS.

These are for the kits themselves, not services. It doesn't seem like Loopy makes the o3DS ones anymore, but Optimize still makes them

Installation service is available for Japan-only customers.

The Japan-only version: https://optimize.ath.cx/shopv2_2/chuumon.html

Oof... do you know anyone who sells the service? I do not know soldering and certainly am not confident enough in it to not fuck something up inside.

Only one that immediately comes to mind is Delfino Customs

Not sure what countries they're able to ship to though

Thank you, Brexit!

At least a capture card isn't a necessity for me.
