@zat-svi-ua Год назад

for the USB-C mod you need to pull the CC1 and CC2 pins down (through a 1% 5.1k resistor) so the C-to-C cables will work.

@ProtoPropski Год назад

I like how simple this is, I mean it's tedious as hell but that's a different metric, compared to the other mods I've done before this is not bad at all, and I have all the tools to do it. I might even give it a try sometime for fun.

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Hi! Stay tuned, I will come up with a follow up in the next Videos with a usb c on a break out board and soldering the needed resistors for Power Delivery!

@Inklers Год назад

No problem for watching till the end. I actually needed the info on how to go through all of it. After all. I'm learning how to modify and build and make everything by hand including programs launched and how to make my own software. I'm just going through basic steps, but this helps right now. Futureproofing a 3DS XL. I had a thought on the platic cover you put over the back of the charing port. You could always just make the plastic design you put on the back sink in where the charger would go. Maybe have s tiny tiny bump to kind of lock the charger in place. When you make the center plastic sink enough it could technically go around the port making it look a little cleaner. I could explain with a design maybe?

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Thanks! Sure, there are many ways to neaten the port gap. What also might be a good solution is some Sugru. This is basically plasticine that will harden and become slightly rubbery.

@Alphie_ Год назад

@bobmcbob4399 Год назад

Or you could buy a microUSB->3DS adapter like what I did. Or buy a USBC->3DS cable is another option too. Also, if I was to do this and expand the plastic hole on the port, a flat needle file is all I would use for that. You would end up with a rectangular hole, perhaps a fine circular needle file could round out the thin side/corners. But that may be still to big.

9 месяцев назад

There is a simpler way to do it, there is USB C female ports with tiny boards which has already solded all the pins on the board, you just need to connect the negative and positive to the main board and you're good to go. I have seen people using these in iPhone mods and they also work great with DS/3DS/2DS. But you did a real nice job on this on, I wouldn't have the patience to solder these microscopic pins haha

@Kernowparadise Год назад

It is just easier to purchase a USB to 3DS cable so you can use that with a powerbank or something like that for when you are out and about with your 3DS, if you carry it in a larger carrycase or something. This is still a neat idea though, but can be fairly unnecessary depending on how you look at it. This mod does makes accessibility to having the correct cables much easier so I'll give it that, but the hassle may not be worth it to some (And cutting into the case).

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Hi! Sure, that is the easiest way. But as a tinkerer, this is not an option! 😉

@EP1CMONKEY Год назад

honestly i would love to get my 3ds with a usb c charging port. Most of my devices use usb C so being able to clear up the clutter of wires that i have would be nice.

@TechWandererYT Год назад

That’s awesome. I actually want a DS like that because I’m dreading bringing the proprietary charger with me. USB-C all the way!!! question though: I have a small gaming handset (Miyoo Mini v2) that has a problem with power input. It does charge on lower power inputs like a power bank, but if you connect the MacBook charger, it’s not charging. Any idea how this Nintendo DS will behave?

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Hi Rob, I think this is gonna happen, when you are using charger that are PD (Power Delivery) only. The port in this console is "dumb". A PD charger uses a protocol to communicate with the device. Our device can't answer the charger and that is the reason why the charger won't output anything.

@TechWandererYT Год назад

@@CanWeFixThat Ahhh OK makes sense. So generally use non-PD. Is a non-PD cable enough, even if, let's say, it's connected to an Apple powerbrick?

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

I would rather say the power brick itself is the problem in this chosen scenario. ;) But I am not an expert by any means! Please keep that in mind!

@QuentinSingvogel Год назад

the manufacturer of the Miyoo Mini states on their website that you should ONLY use chargers that put out 5V at 1A, nothing more! And that no powerchargers should be used whatsoever. So you should look into some older USB A wall connectors from old smartphones for example, to not blow up your powerpack. That would be a shame considering how hard it is to get your hands on a mini these days ;)

@CountParadox Год назад

You may find some problems down the line, some chargers won't give 5v without a 5.1k resistor on (at least one of) the cc pins of the connector. (one = only one side will work) Also; for some reason, not all cables connect the shell to the gnd pins ?? But great work !

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Hi Count! You are right! As mentioned in the video, the whole project was more or less a proof of concept, if it's possible to accomplish this mod with just a bare usb c connector. I am thinking about a revisit with the mentioned resistors and a usb-c breakout board.

@CountParadox Год назад

Wish I had one of these my 3ds charger port broke recently

My newest video covers a much easier method to convert any USB device to USB-C! I’ve linked it in the description and the pinned comment! 🙌🏻

@JoshyBoi123 Год назад

USB-C would be amazing on 3ds

@sethsuitor 6 месяцев назад

If only the new Nintendo 3DS also had the other card slot, Like the DS Lite, the only one they made that can play Gameboy Games. Feel like it could be possible, but it would need an entire internal redesign. ):

@CanWeFixThat 6 месяцев назад

That is a pretty nifty idea, but I guess this would require also a highly modified firmware. :-(

@sethsuitor 6 месяцев назад

I'm surprised there's nobody on youtube that has already done anything on this Honestly I've seen and heard so many complaints about how the new Nintendo 3DS Should have had the feature of the Nintendo lite, But I guess it's just a project that Nintendo has abandoned ):

@CanWeFixThat 6 месяцев назад

I am pretty sure that it is nearly impossible to accomplish this mod. That's why nobody has tried it so far. I will note the topic; maybe I can find a way to think about it.

@sethsuitor 6 месяцев назад

OK. I will still have hope it is possible for the new Nintendo 3DS, I only think of it because of how much different the sizes between them. There's. gotta be stuff in the new 3DS that doesn't need to be as big as it is. but you would probably have to redo the entire system. Basically, new motherboard, new everything. It would just be a lot of work to even be done. That would be another reason why nobody has done it But they complain about it still. It's basically just making a whole new Console at that point. Which I won't say is a bad thing The old 3Ds Has always lasted longer with its battery than the new XL model, which I felt makes no sense. Just got a new battery for it too. So it's not that.

@truedan6706 Год назад

wouldn't it be easier to make an inversed bezel piece that goes inside the shell? Then it would be flush and also no danger of it falling out.

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Yes, but after my unsuccessful attempt to expand the port opening, I decided on the alternative option. 😆

@lmorchard Год назад

Huh, are all the VCC lines in the USB-C port all connected? I would have figured you'd need to tie at least a pair of VCC together to account for both insertion orientations of the cable (but maybe I don't understand USB-C)

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

@Les Orchard You are right, the method in this video shows a modification where just USB-A => USB-C is possible. It is not usable with PD chargers. I will do a follow up video with a break out board, where we include the needed resistors for the mentioned support. So stay tuned for that! 😉

@gustavo33413 Год назад

Just get a USB to this port on Amazon, throw it on you case bag and charge it on whatever power bank or charger you have.

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

This answer you read here often, but I don't want to have a special cable with me. 😉 But sure, this is a safe way.

@psp4gamer Год назад

Im very curious, could be a Qi wireless mod possible? I have thinking mixing this up with the Niilkin magic tags since it's "easier" but, something without the USB C would be interesting.

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

I think it is worth to check that out! Im on it! Stay tuned! 😉

@threemar3 Год назад

I was worried this would be the c stick replacement lol. That has been paraded way too much for how prone to failure it is

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

True! 😬

@bristlesthistles Год назад

What makes it prone to failure?

@MacMashPotato Год назад

Are you sure this is not dangerous for the lifespan of the console, as in, maybe i accidently use too strong of a charger, like a fast charge or something. What is the potential damage?

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Hi MacMashPotato, the maximum I have seen was 1A, which is the maximum. A fast charger won't work because the resistors must be installed; I have not done that in this mod.

@cqllel5186 Год назад

Another way to future-proof, is to get a USB to DS adapter. Lot cheaper and safer

@Cain532. Год назад

How hard would it be to enable some extra mods like file exploring or video output? I haven't done a lot of 3ds modding, but I know they make PCB's for video output at the least.

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

File exploring? What exactly do you mean? Video output is only possible with a capture card or a soft mod via software.

@Cain532. Год назад

@@CanWeFixThat I more meant if it was possible to use the higher speeds of USB C in conjunction with the 3ds Capture board, or additionally find a way to use the 3ds' micro SD as a external media source when plugging the USB cable into your PC

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

@@Cain532. I don't know, not very into this kind of stuff, sorry! Maybe someone else?

@fudeldideldu Год назад

Or just buy a Nintendo to USB-A Cable :) But built in USB-C is nice too :)

@javierortiz82 Год назад

Just wondering... my brother has a 3DS that has a faulty circle pad, my dad in all his wiseness dissasembled the console and by accident the little tab that attaches that tiny flex cable that goes from the circlepad to the motherboard flew away, never to be seen again. How can that be fixed?

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Hi, you are talking about the tab of the ribbon connector to lock the cable in place?

@michaelpopi1 4 месяца назад

i would love to do this on my 3ds i wish i had the knowledge 😔

@CanWeFixThat 4 месяца назад

Hey Michael, do you have any soldering experience? I mean, what is stopping you from learning it? 🚀

@argo426 4 месяца назад

To anyone that has the know how on circutboard/capacitor/anything to do with this kind of stuff; would adjusting the voltage going into the 3ds from charging decrease the stress on the battery not causing an accelerated life span for it? I saw down below in a comment chain that this does infact speed up the deterioration, so i wanted to shoot my shot and ask to start a new chain with some more information if possible

@CanWeFixThat 3 месяца назад

Just out of curiosity, why are so many people concerned about this? I haven't seen this kind of conversation for any other console. 😄 What kind of mod are you referring to?

@argo426 3 месяца назад

@@CanWeFixThat i dont think what im referring to count be counted as a mod, but more of an adjustment. In the past (ive forgotten the specific videos) ive seen some people adjust the amount of voltage thats fed into a capacitor or whatnot. seeing the comment chain where you and others bring up shortened life span to the battery, (caused by "stress" to it by stronger voltage I assume) made me wonder if it would be possible to adjust the voltage being fed into the battery to have it charging at the voltage its designed to take in and to keep from deteriorating faster.

@CanWeFixThat 3 месяца назад

To be honest, I don't think it would make a big difference. It charges with 0.5 A, which is very low by default.

@Pandakids09 Год назад

I’ve seen other usb C mods but most have them also come with custom pcb with them. Do you know why?

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Hi Pandakid, that is definitly the way to got. With help of the mentioned break out board, it is much easier to get the soldering done. Furtermore you are able to solder the needed resistors for a charger using power delivery (PD). I will show this method in an upcoming episode. Stay tuned! 😉

@GalexionSDVX Год назад

OK, hear Me out, would it be possible to have charging AND a capturecard output in one USB-C Plug?

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Hi Galexion, this came up several times in the comments, but unfortunately I have no clue to accomplish this. :-/

@paolodambrogio22 Год назад

Would you say it is too ambitious to get this USB-C to also work with HDMI output conversion for top screen display to broadcast to HDTV? Like those consolizers that exist for GBA? (sorry for typo)

@CanWeFixThat Год назад

Phew, good question. Maybe it is possible, but from scratch I do have no idea how to accomplish this. But it is a nice idea!

@raik1766 Год назад

That'd take a really long time, what you could add is a usb sd card reader to directly read from your nand using usb c (would also need to add a switch for the clock signal of the reader else youd be stuck with a bluescreen)

@Dylan9664 Месяц назад

Would it be possible to install a thunderbolt connector and achieve file and video transfer

@CanWeFixThat Месяц назад

Hi Dylan, nope, that’s not possible. At least, I don’t know how it could be done. It would require a controller that can communicate with the internal memory of the console.
