Finally got homebrew/custom firmware on your 3DS? Here is a short list of the most common things to do with it.

Just want to install software? See 3DS:Installing software.

Custom firmware has a lot of settings and useful menus. Learn to use them here!

Change how your console looks and sounds.

HOME Menu customization:
- Custom themes
  - Creating custom themes
- Splash screens - show an image when your console turns on (this will increase boot time)
- Advanced: Editing the HOME Menu

The 3DS can run emulators for various old consoles. The New 3DS is the best one to use for this.

Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance games can also be run using the 3DS's native modes for them.

Before you modify a game or its save, you should back up your save data.

We have pages for games listing various game mods, save editors, and cheats available for them. Some examples:

See a full list at Category:Nintendo 3DS games. Or use the search feature.
