Hacking What would be the easiest way to mod a 2DS with 11.5.0-38U?

[Pezzy]

This one in particular: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ninten...ffcode=pg266879&ksdevice=c&lsft=ref:212,loc:2

I've read online that it ships with 11.5.0-38U, unless someone can correct me on that, and I'm kind of afraid, because I'm honestly not the best with technology, but y'know, holidays coming up, and I wanna do something really special for my girlfriend. Any and all help is appreciated

NTRboothax. Follow this guide https://3ds.guide/ntrboot and buy either this or this

If you're feeling ballsy and wanna do it the super hardcore way soldering is also an option, https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(hardmod) but this is basically not necessary at all since NTRBoothax is legitimately cheaper in comparison to buying a soldering iron, solder, and so on.

Buy an NTRboothax card and follow the user guide here https://3ds.guide/ntrboot, currently hacking a 3DS is very easy. All if you are too lazy to do this, you can just buy a ds&3ds game flashcard to play games directly with plug&play method, the Stargate 3ds is your solution.

If I had to pick one of those two, which do you think I should pick? Or are they both the same?

And also.. How exactly does this work? Do I just use the card to install the software, or does the card always have to be in the 2DS?

Merry Christmas everyone!! Bumping this thread to hopefully get an answer on the above: I'm doing this for my girlfriend and I wanna make sure I do everything right

Ntrboot is a million times easier than hardmodding. Unless you're a soldering pro and already own all the required equipment and don't already own a compatible DS flashcart

Sorry guys, I'm just really paranoid atm:

I'm just.. REALLY paranoid given my history of bad luck and all, and I don't entirely get if I'm supposed to slide a smaller SD card into this or what..

Happy new year everybody!!

If you have to choose between a big SD and a micro in an adapter choose the big SD, a micro in an adapter just means there's 2 places things can go wrong (broken adapter or corrupted card)

Get the R4I 3DS Plus from a reliable trader, hop onto 3ds.guide and follow the NTRBoot section of the website. Doing this will ensure you are safe during the setup, you get the correct tutorial method and no problems. Trust me, its great. I cfw'd my New 2DS XL with NTRBoot and its perfect.

I'm looking at the R4i-Kit B96 - http://www.modchipsdirect.com/r4i-kit-b9s-ntrboot-ready.html

Is this absolutely what I need? I need to have it by January 7th at the latest, and I don't wanna spend 28 dollars to get the faster shipping on the other thing linked above

And will this SD card work with it? https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Clas...007B5RIYI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I suggest getting this: http://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=575 its the best one out there but if you want that one, go for it

Time is of the essence unfortunately Will the R4i-Kit B96 make due? If not, what're the problems with it?

Yeah its a carbon copy of the one i sent, but with two flashcards (white card is for normal DS games, black card is for cfw installation)
It also has a magnet which is also needed for installation

Ohh.. Well, I don't think we'll need the magnet since we'll be using a 2DS and it just has the Sleep function, unless you know something I don't know

Will I be able to use this SD card with it? I'm under the impression that you slide an SD card into it https://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-Ultr...&qid=1514801973&sr=1-3&keywords=32gb+micro-sd

Oh yeah you wont need the magnet with a 2ds. And you need a big SD Card, not a micro SD.

Will this be fine? https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Clas...007B5RIYI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I was under the impression that I needed a micro-SD card for http://www.modchipsdirect.com/r4i-kit-b9s-ntrboot-ready.html because I thought I saw a slot to insert a micro-SD.. I'm honestly just so confused

I wouldn't make any plans based on getting something from China in a certain time frame
