You CAN install it yourself, but you have to find one first and all resellers do the installs themselves to jack up prices to ~5-6 times the actual cost for it. Since it's a N3DS, you don't even need a capture card though, NTR streaming and HzMod both work great with most games running almost exactly as if you were using a capture card and they are both free, so why do you want a capture card in this day and age? They are incredibly outdated...
I would recomend using NTR for soft streaming to pc or whatever newer method there is to do it. Or just use an emulator.
I know I can do it wirelessly but my internet is 17Megabits down, 0.70 megabits up and I tried before.... it sucks.
Then your best bet is getting a better internet connection
A N3DS with capture card now that they don't make those anymore is gonna cost you 700+$ while it's pretty much impossible to find a capture card by itself and only other choice is requesting a special unit pre-installed with a capture card from Nintendo Japan (since they have some meant for news outlets and whatnot). Also, based on your speed, unless you are also doing other stuff, you got more than enough bandwidth for at least 40FPS, possibly 57-60FPS if you get a better connection.
3DS capture cards are no longer available in today's market. You're left with either Snickerstream/HzMod/NTR, buying a 3DS/2DS premodded with capture card, or this.
Ok then. Well I guess I need to get a N3DS XL. I used to have one but.... yeah we aren't going to talk about that.Then your best bet is getting a better internet connection

Dude, your folks (except your bro) are narcissists. Get the fuck out of their house the first chance you can make a safe getaway when you hit 18. Cut them out of their life once you make it.
It's unfortunate your siblings are still with them. Don't shed a tear for your mee-maw and gran-pop when they kick the bucket.
If you still have you and your brother's SD cards from the broken n3DSXLs and know of any friends who added+kept your Friend Codes, hit me up with a PM if you want to recover stuff from your Nintendo 3DS folders.
That's the speed of your Internet network. Your intranet network speed is only limited by the N3DS's wifi speed, which is the same for all N3DS.
Since this thread was bumped, might as well give a proper answer about the speed. N3DS can only reach 1.4MB/s download speed under optimal conditions while upload is 0.55MB/s, meaning OP's speeds are actually above what's needed for 60FPS with HzMod or similar. Only issue past that may be how well optimized the setup is and also note that you aren't supposed to use 100% quality, but instead ~75% (hardly any difference) since that allows you to stream stable 60FPS while 100% is more for games that run at 30FPS natively (games when you have 3D on for example or pretty much most games, while some run at 30FPS but temporarily jump up to 60FPS at certain points like when navigating menus in Pokemon but when in overworld/battling it's 30FPS).
I said bumped, not necrobumped... Thread was answered already so expected it to be left for dead

@
TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
