3DS Homebrew - Hack your 3DS and play all the games

Ғылым және технология

You can now Homebrew your Nintendo 3DS and 2DS consoles using only an SD card and some free, downloaded software.
This gives you a full custom firmware hack so you can play all your games from an SD card as well as getting access to all the Homebrew features. Play DS and SDi games, GameBoy Advanced games and even a wide range of other consoles such as NES, SNES and more. And all from your game backup files on the SD card.
Make sure you check out the project page at

    I bought a New 2DS XL (just before they ceased production) for the sole purpose of modding it. The hack is even easier now. I see you have a C64 on your desk. The Vice3DS emulator turns the 3DS/2DS into a very nice portable C64 with the 2nd screen being utilized for the interface and virtual keyboard.

I followed your steps from finalise to get the homebrew and had to reload all the games. Oddly I can't see my f: drive since formatting the 64gb card to fat32 so not sure what's going on there.

    If it's your original SD card I'd probably just use a new one to get more storage space. You should then be able to copy over save files if you need to keep your game progress. To copy the card you might need to use something like the Minitools Partition Wizard. It should let you copy at the partition level rather than just trying the files. To be honest though I haven't tried it.

    Use the Minitools Partition Wizardto recover the SD card. It needs to be formatted as FAT32 but set the cluster size to 32KB for up to 32GB cards and 64KB for bigger. If you can't get Partition Wizard to see the SD card you might need to replace it.

    Make sure you've got all the files copied over to the SD card and in the correct places. Try booting into GodMode9 a few times to see if you can get it to boot. If all that fails you'll need to work through the troubleshooting help in the 3DS guide.

Now, if I copy-paste everything I have in my current SD to a new one and then put the new one into my 3DS, ¿will it load all the homebrew apps fine or it won't work? I'm asking because my current SD has 4GB and I would like to use another one of 32GB, but I don't know if I'll have to go through all the process again if I copy-paste everything from my old SD to a new one.
