What kind of tinning flux do you use?

 

Hmm, I wonder if I should go for a micro-USB based connection rather than a butt-connector based connection...

 

@TheToaster The O3DS's NAND and pinouts are not on the opposite side of the motherboard. A flip is not neccessary, unless you plan to use the alternate CLK point.
Also, Plailect's Guide no longer has data on the NAND sizes. You can still find it with the wayback machine, though.

 

Lol, Ninty helping us rather than fixing our hardware exploits xD

 

Yes, but it isn't totally tested.

 

Great guide! Bust a ribbon cable doing it mind but great guide nonetheless.

 

Can anybody who modded an O3DS and used the wires he recommended show me their butt connector mounting point? I can't find a good place. Only people who used the ones that he recommended.

 

There is an error in your "old 3DS" section of the guide that no one has ever caught that caused me a brick. Possibly just a half brick because my 3DS is hanging after any app launch and at one point it said (SD card has the no write lock on) even though there was no SD card in it.

Anyways, look at the comparison between the drawn lines on the SD card adapter pins (left image) and the actual soldered lines (right image) and you'll see what I mean. Whoops.... How did that slip by and guess which one I followed? >_<

My soldering skills are flawless. It's a shame I wasn't told how to properly do this because of a badly written faq.

Anyone want a booterror o3ds for parts? $30 shipped but I keep the battery. Lol
Fuck this guide.

And in case you're still blind, this is the offending diagram. As you can see, the ground point is different in both. I can only assume the photo is the correct one.

 

I just did the hardmod for my third 2DSXL. This time it was from a friend that had just bought the new pikachu themed one, I said I'd give it a try. After 2 days of getting an error from win32diskimager (ERROR 1117: I/O error or something like that) and rewiring everything like 3 times, I figured out it was all because my sd card adapter had lost it's lock switch. Just in case anyone isn't aware of this like me , the switch is just a piece of plastic, it's the reader that will check for the position of the switch most of the time. On mine it's a little pin that will make contact with ground when the switch is in the unlocked position. A bit of tape around where the switch should have gone works. I was so worried thinking nintendo had changed something on these new ones that I didn't notice such a small thing lol.

 

AU6375 Card Reader + Windows 7 + new 3ds (toshiba NAND). Hardmod success. Testing old 3ds xl soon

Thanks for the great guide
