Revision as of 01:58, 13 August 2022

The Nintendo 3DS is a handheld game console released by Nintendo in 2011. Multiple revisions have been released for the Nintendo 3DS over the years, including the more-powerful "New Nintendo 3DS" series and the budget "2DS" set of consoles. All 3DS revisions run the same system software, so homebrew methods and software are generally identical (except in cases where the more-powerful hardware of the New Nintendo 3DS is required).

Getting started

Never use video guides as those can get outdated quickly and can contain mistakes or modified files.

The current recommended setup is boot9strap + Luma3DS.

Instructions on setting up homebrew and custom firmware on your console can be found on 3ds.hacks.guide.

Use homebrew

Back up or restore game saves using Checkpoint
