OOjs UI icon information-progressive.svg Not all 3DS error codes are known or understood, and it is unlikely all codes will ever be documented in full due to Nintendo failing to document many of them. As such, this page can be considered a living document - any information written here will likely be subject to frequent changes.

On both stock and custom firmware, apps can cause errors if they run into a non-fatal issue.

This page lists various causes of stock error codes.

Reading an error code

An error code has two parts - the code itself, and its official description.

For this page, only the code matters.

Known errors

In the below tables, error codes are separated into sets by their section (e.g. 007-XXXX) and then sorted within their sets in ascending order by their result code (e.g. XXX-2001).
