I love whenever Muta mods a console. He usually sounds so happy whenever he talks about the process.

Nintendo: we're gonna be shutting down our 3ds eShop early 2023 also Nintendo: please don't pirate our games

Muta: if I can do it, You can do it. Also Muta: *uses arch* *has multiple undetectable VMs* *built his own MutaPhone and MutaDeck* *has great computer and security knowledge*

The thing I like about modded 3DS the most is the fact that you can use fan patches for certain games to improve the experience of half arsed ports or that you have the possibility to install fan translations of games which only released in Japan.

I've probably saved 3,000 dollars with my homebrewed 3DS. I still use it pretty often to this day. Love it!

I watched the whole video without owning (or planning to own) a 3DS. Muta is just a cool guy to listen to while washing dishes 😋

I was too scared to hack mine as I knew if I messed up, I would risk bricking the system. However, I got shitfaced drunk and decided "yeah, I can do this" and next thing I knew, I was playing Smash 3ds with all the dlc. Basically, what I'm saying is that it's so easy to hack a 3ds that you could do it drunk as shit like I did.

I actually picked up my first 3DS earlier this year for fairly cheap and modded it and it was really easy, great to be able to play all the games Nintendo's ready to throw away when the E-shop goes down next year

Nintendo is so horrible they would sue a grieving family for putting mario on a gravestone

I remember doing this in the past year. This guide is really useful and also doesn't promote piracy. Not only that this guide also helps you prevent yourself from getting banned as well as backing up Incase you brick. Thanks for bringing awareness to this guide, and especially since 3ds is so moddable.

I've long been too nervous to try modding any of my consoles or handhelds, but watching this video made me actually go through with it and having Muta's video on while I go through the process helped make me sure I didn't miss a step. Thanks very much Muta, you're the best

This gave me a huge wave of nostalgia. I modded my 3ds with soundhax in late 2017 and upgraded to CFW when Nintendo dropped an update to patch soundhax. Lots of good memories :)

I didn’t think he’d show us the process of modding a 3DS, now I can actually follow the steps and do it myself with a RU-vidr I trust, truly awesome stuff !!

I always wondered how much actual legitimate legal standing these title things really have.

Modding a 3ds is soo easy now and quicker, oh my gosh. It's a trend since Nintendo gave up support on the 3ds. If you have a 3ds and you didn't mod it yet, you are missing something.. Just buy an sd card (and an adapter to plug it to your pc) it's very cheap

It’s not piracy if you can’t buy it

Things like this makes me put Nintendo on perspective over the years, even tho things like this seem shady to the corporation, at the end of the day, people love programing. Having gaming consoles with such tools and exploits like this really give value to the console away from the nostalgia and gameplay. Thanks for taking the risk Mr. Muta

(Muta breathes in Nintendo's direction) Nintendo: Are you threatening me?

Just for the record, these "established titles" type things where they sell lord/ladyship are a novelty. It's not a real tite, they give you essentially a patronage position in their company titled "Lord" or "lady." I looked into it a few years ago

Love how this video starts with muta doing an ad read for a scam

To be honest i do feel its best if a console isnt succesfully cracked till its after its prime (not just piracy, hackers and creeps), but yeah ppl who say its wrong are dumb.

3DS homebrew and CFW is awesome! I'm glad Muta talked about how to homebrew the 3DS, since it's one of the best consoles to install custom firmware / homebrew on, as well as the Wii U and PS Vita.

i think once a system has it's store taken down, it should be fair game to mod the console, i fully understand the reasoning behind not wanting hacks when it's in its prime. it becomes impossible and extortionate to try and get games for consoles like this.

Just hacked my 2ds XL last wednesday. absolutely fucking absurd and i highly recommend!

I remember played MarioKart 7, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 on the 3DS. Great memories!

i already modded my 3ds a few months back but it was still fun to watch you go through the process, makes me realize again how fun it really is

The devs of the 3ds hacks guide updated the guide so now this video is now obsolete. EDIT: As of April 9th 2023, the 3ds hacks guide has updated again for the new 3ds consoles so now this video is only outdated for those consoles. EDIT 2: As of May 23rd 2023, this videos method WILL NOT WORK on old 3ds consoles if you have updated them to 11.17 before modding. If so, you will need to use R4 cards or some older method like Ninjhax to mod it. New 3ds' are still working through web browser exploit.

It’s nice seeing Muta make a video about 3DS modding. I modded my 3Ds months ago, and it took a while to go through the steps. But I’ll tell you if you decide to mod, it’ll open doors to a lot of opportunities. IMO, it’s a great deal.

This video's release could not have been better timed. I ordered a 3DS like a week ago and it arrived earlier today. As I was unboxing it, I happened to check my YT recommendations and here we are lol.

THEY CAN NEVER TAKE MUTAH DOWN💯

The 3DS is such an incredible system, man. I’m hyped to create my own menu theme for it along with maybe some stickers for the cover! …I also wanna enter a Splatoon 3 tournament with my 3DS just for the heck of it

I bought a 3DS for the first time this year and I did all this during my vacation. It was like a childhood dream come true. And I mean, if the eShop wasn't closing, I wouldn't do it. But the games are extra expensive here in Brazil. 30~50 USD for used games, 50~80 USD for "new" copies... On a 200 USD/month minimum wage.

I used the Pichaxx method to mod my 3DS last year. It was a bit simpler than this method but most of the steps are the same. I love my 3DS. Modding it is absolutely essential.

You mentioned doing this a while ago and I'm really glad that you're doing it.

I was so afraid I would screw this up for the longest time that I waited exactly when the eShop closed so I'd have no excuse. And I gotta say, aside from the sheer number of steps looking daunting, the steps themselves are very simple. It really is easy to mod/hack your 3DS.

I did this a while back and it was one of my best moments with the 3DS. I felt like a child, I felt like anything was possible. So please if you haven't hacked your 3DS do it!

What I really love about having a hacked 3DS is the ability to dump/load save files from games installed and physical cartridges, load them up on an emulator to keep playing the games on a big screen and vice versa. Used that quite a bit. :3 And there are many more interesting features, like running old 3DS games with the performance enhancements of the New 3DS, fixing the framerate/performance for a few games,t hough some games become unstable with those active.

I literally just did this! It was the first system I ever hacked and was surprisingly so easy!

My tech illiterate ass will never do this out of fear of killing my 3ds somehow

Change your "nipple analog" stick on the 3DS to a PSP analog stick (I forget which version 1000/2000). It has better movement and is much easier to use. Plus is actually comfortable. Being someone who got the 3DS when it first launched and being disappointed at first with the launch games. Then being rewarded with the Ambassador Certificate, giving you 20 free games when they made the 3DS XL a year later. Getting 10 NES and 10 GBA games no one else got was really awesome at the time. I remember looking up tutorials on how to mod it early on, but not finding anything I actually wanted to do. I'm so glad it's easy to do this and this tutorial explains it perfectly. I can't wait to transform my "New" 3DS XL into a modded beast. Been waiting for this!

The Nintendo 3DS is a homebrew JUGGERNAUT. Been using it for weeks and it is the best. Homebrew your 3ds if you haven't already.

The question is: When Nintendo comes after this video, will we see the follow up videos covering the legal battle? Or will this be dropped the moment they try anything?

As a modder never thought the day would come where Muta does a tutorial how to install Luma3DS...

That intro aged well huh

Thank you for your content muda. Watching your videos is throughly enjoyable.

I used to be into PSP modding. It was fun getting Windows 95 to barely run before it crashed the PSP. And just being able to download games or borrow a friend's games and copy them. Untold Legends: Brotherhood of The Blade is one of my favorite games

I loved modding my 3ds, its been modded for a couple years now. Takes 5 minutes to do. Now I've got 1000s of free games on there ranging from NES to the 3DS. It's good that you can still play Online too.

wish I watched this before hacking mine. nearly almost lost my saves. managed to get everything working in the end, but this would've made it alot easier and quicker.

Weirdly enough hacking my 3DS was super fun, like more than playing the games.

I don't even have a 3DS. I just enjoy listening to you, Muta

Muta I’ve been going through major depression lately and your videos have been keeping me afloat.

this ad did not age well lol.

Man, I remember modding the DSi back in the day. Good times.

I just did this Muta, so happy you made a video on it. Such a great time. CFW has never been easier.

It's amazing how you can make a tutorial video about something that means nothing to me but still make it fun and interesting to watch!

the fact that you can charge a 3ds with a nokia 3310 cable says a lot about nintendo.

I remember doing it with a magnet... there were sooo many hacks before the latest one, but it became easier and easier every time a new hack was found

The dashes! That is where I went wrong too! Thanks Muta for being the only place I have found this device.

It’s so amazing seeing 3ds modding community evolve. I remember in middle school 2014 wishing I could hack my 3ds to get all mythical Pokémon, but being upset I couldn’t because I had an updated 3ds firmware for which the exploit didn’t work. Oh how times change😂

I don’t have a 3ds, nor do I intend to hack one. I was just genuinely entertained by this.

Yeah, I saw the 3ds meme going around and, like you, I was unsure if they were being serious or not. Tried it, and yes. It's very easy.

i coincidentally just did this recently too, very funny how us brown gentlemen are so likeminded

My 3DS has been modded for years now, but it is nice to see Muta informing people who may not know how to do it.

Modded my 3ds just over a month ago, best decision I ever made. I've dumped all my games and play them on citra, and any games that rely on the touchscreen or just feel 'right' on the 3ds stay on there. And Portable half life, doom, and quake is a pretty slick deal as well

Lord Muta has a ring to it.

who else here after the e shop closed lol

the fact it somehow got easier is insane 😭😭

The 3ds is probably one of my favorite systems. It has a decent library of games. Good battery life, everything about it. I modded my 2ds xl recently and I'm enjoying it.

Do we need a Nintendo anti-piracy screen for this?

To those of who are too scared to even TRY jail breaking your Nintendo 2DS, trust me, it’s easier than you think it is, unless you’re a total dumbass. I’ve hacked my Nintendo 2DS only last year in like December or something like that, mainly to play ps1 games and other stuff, and I’m only 12, and I did that all on my own, and although it’s only mines, I knew I should’ve hid it from my big brother. I even hacked my Nintendo Switch as well, and I now have a bunch of nes, psp, ps1 and gba games on it, accessible from the home menu. Hacking the Nintendo Switch was easier ngl. Trust me, I am NOT lying about ANYTHING here.

That was lots of fun been a long term fan from the creepypasta days, and idk there is cool to me that you were able to help me finally softmod my 3ds. Been wanting to forever, but only found the game exploits, so thanks for the awesome video.

That sponsorship aged.... well 😅

The Nintendo Ninjas are at it again

Why do I feel like I am sitting down listening to my father talk about something I have no clue about, but am interested just for the pure fact of doing it together

Had to use that hacking guide recently, I didn't know the console was still receiving patches, so I had to work around a newer version to region swap a Japanese 3ds LL. Absolutely worth doing in the end, the homebrew tools add so much more charm. Having access to e-shop content again with those tools is keeping alive the titles that just won't exist anywhere else.

it's really great to see muta doing what he loves - screwing with nintendo. big agree!

If I had to critique one thing, is that Muta never mentions this video and others like it are never the be-all end-all. The guide site will always be more reliable, but most importantly. Up to date than any videos

I've been too afraid of bricking my 3DS, so it's yet to be modded. Mostly due to not trusting whoever wrote the instructions and such. But after watching Mutahar videos so often, damn, I've always been impressed with how much IT and gadgetry he knows.

I have no idea why I watched this I I have never even tried a 3DS but , I enjoyed watching this. Thanks.

I modded my 3ds a couple years ago and it was easy and allowed me to play the games I couldn’t play when i was little.

If Nintendo takes this video down the earth would split in half to not see muta angry

Yeah some 3DS games are pretty awesome I agree. On emulator as well. Nice resolution upscaling. Ocarina and Majoras Mask in 1080p is pretty neat. Played both of them. Would advise everybody to play Majoras Mask in 1080p. An experience you won't forget so fast.

Pirate everything. Don't hesitate.

Yea I remember when I modded my old 3ds the first gen kind I bought from GameStop years ago. I wanted to mod it for years eventually got round to it with some help cuz I was rather dumb about it. I love it but ended up getting a Japanese new 3ds from Japan and modded that myself and I've been in love. Even added a psp nub over the rubber nub for a c stick.

2:51 This 3DS is about to experience the hacking of a lifetime right here ladies and gentlemen

6:21 ooo MUDA letting out a little grandad whistle there

"Nintendo will try to take down this video" And grass is green

Love those websites for the ds and the psps and stuff, makes it so much easier for folks that don't understand all that much! I never would have been able to mod my dsi without it.

Next time: Muta hacks a Magnavox Odyssey and somehow manages to play Cyberpunk 2077 on it at a crisp 120fps with no issues what-so-ever.

WHen you are speaking so fluidly and clearly, that I can still perfectly understand you when watching the video at 5 times speed. I originally didn't mean to watch it at five times the speed, but I love playing with that addon, and I was just surprised how well I still understand you at 5x

Not sure if it was said in the video because I've already done this a few years ago so I skipped through (sorry). but regardless of the 3ds having 32 GB card limit, I have mine loaded with a 128gb microsd card and it works perfectly fine (the load times are slightly longer). You can also use an r4 card loaded with a 2nd micro sd card to save even more space by running ds and retro roms off the r4. :) (If you buy an r4 card make sure it supports the proper type of micro sd card)

This comment has been redacted by Nintendo

All of this action menu talk makes me feel like I'm watching a LittleBigPlanet tutorial. "Choose the Stickers option with the ACTION button from your Pop-up menu. Good jolly job, Sackboy!"

Man. That first bit sounded like an earth 2 promo

Video getting taken down any% run looking good so far, hope you get the WR

It's ironic to see Mutahar promote established titles, who provides misleading advertisement and their service is the same as "buying a star". I think that's what you would call a scam At least he's not Coffeezilla, that would be really surprising then You don't own any land, not even a tiny piece. You can also call yourself a lord even without them Edit: Something I missed is that, they put a lot of their money into charity. 8 million at this point, and if that was fake the whole charity would be fake. The advertisement is still misleading, and when you think about it it's a lot better to invest directly into the charity. Regardless, I guess I now like Established Titles because doing a little bad is good to do some good (might be pointless... I don't know. Climate Change is pretty bad) If you are pretty smart, you would invest directly into the charity, especially because Established Titles will keep some of the money to themselves. The charity is called Trees For The Future. Is it legit? Charity Navigator says it is, but they had not been able to evaluate their impact. That's all I know, the rest you can research

my 3ds is already hacked, i just like watching muta get excited about modding a console

Fun fact, with TwiLightMenu+ you can also play rom hacks of games. For instance: Pokemon Renegade Platinum Pokemon Storm Silver PMD Explorers of heaven These all work I have played them on my own 3DS, though the patchers for the second two didn't work for me, Ren Plats delta patcher spat out working versions for me as you can select the files manually. If you have the rom hack version and a regular version you are able to play both as they are separate files which count as separate games from each other. Not only that but the 3ds pokemon cia files, when built using the FBI app, can be used with pokemon bank. So if you don't want to cheat in pokemon but have no problem with piracy you can get any gen 6 and 7 games pokemon from those games up to home from pokemon bank. Still need to pay for a subscription for bank and home though.
