For the USB-C mod, you should put a 5.1k resistor between CC1 and GND and another 5.1k resistor between CC2 and GND, that way it will work with all USB-PD chargers

Super Great Video, love everything coming out for the 3DS now

Now just need a circle magnet for the wireless charging and Bluetooth Audio. TBH USB-C for data would be amazing on a hacked 3ds.

Excellent video. Thank you, will look for the follow up.

Buy a MagSafe pop socket and rob the magnets and make it mag safe!

The numb change is easily my favorite mod for the New 3DS. Make playing with the C-stick way better! Watch out for getting second hand shell replacements. The 2 i got from Amazon had their Hinge housing snapped after a month.

Quick tip for others interested in doing the USB C mod at home, just replace the original charging port instead of drilling a separate hole (it will still require some case drilling to make the port slightly wider but its easier and looks better), also you can buy a version that does both display and charging and its just as easy installation wise.

Looking forward to your shell swap video

I don't know how dangerous could be for the system but you could get a rounded set of magnets and make a "mag-safe" for the wireless charging so it always aligns perfectly fine (or you could just make a DIY stand so you never miss it)

You could make a custom 3D printed fixture for the wireless charger to position it correctly. I'm thinking something similar to the charging dock that came with the original 3DS

You should do a pool about what sheel you should put, there's so many options

Dude stole my thoughts and ideas for my switch and razer Edge for wireless charging. Somewhat 😂 good move forward and video

If any of you guys have a unmodded 3ds, I would highly recommend modding it.

Already did the USB C and Nub mods, and they're fantastic. Not sure if I would get much use of a wireless charger.

The gamepad already technically charges ”wirelessly", just pop it on the stand with the two small pins that it came with in the box xd

I made the exact same mistake with USB-C port lol. I also thought it would be a great place to fit it, but stylus won't go all the way anymore. I ended up replacing that part of the shell anyway (I kept everything else, because it's limited edition and OEM shell is far better quality), so new placement is basically the same as yours, right next to ZR button and it looks really nice. My breakout board is way smaller though (only 4 pins), but I still used some glue just to secure it. Many people replace proprietary port with Type-C, but I wanted to keep it, just in case. Also replaced C-stick with the one from Ali, looks the same and it's far more responsive. Also installed Type-C to DSi XL (next to 3.5mm jack, couldn't find a better place), Vita 1000 (a lot of space between main and left controller board) and Wii U gamepad (hated that thin cable and big power brick). Charging my phone and handhelds using same cable is huge, especially from power bank (via short USB-A to USB-C cable). Didn't need or want wireless or Type-C to Type-C charging. But you could also buy magsafe ring for easier alignment (I have it on my phone case and my powerbank is magsafe compatible). So yea, all my devices are USB-C and I LOVE it. Fairly easy, with exception of Vita 1000, which has very small pins. Nintendo consoles are noob-friendly to mod (just make sure you don't mess up positive and negative).

I did the PSP nub mod some months after the new 3ds launched best mod especially for monster hunter 4 ultimate at the time!

So that's where my new c stick came from! never realized it was a laptop part :O

3ds mods are always cool.

Hopefully someone already mentioned this to you, but there are several mods where you order a simple PCB from a fabricator for less than $5 and it will replace the stock change port with USB-C. The soldering is just as simple, with the catch being that you obviously need to desolder the old port. But it will come out clean with no shell cutting required. There's a small panel gap you can 3D print a cover for, or just leave it open as it's not really noticable unless you are staring at it. I'd really really recommend that you look into this before you ruin another shell.

Oh I really want to see the shell swap

That’s just great!!! But Jon I need some light, I’ve got back my 3ds and it’s not charging, idk why, is there a simple way to check if all the rest is working and only it’s not charging? Cheers :)

If you know anyone else with the same DS as you with a working battery, you might ask if you can test their battery in your DS to see if it charges. Batteries are relatively cheap & easy fixes!

if you're going to do wireless charging I'd suggest adding one of those steel rings for magsafe compatibility to make alignment easy

You should try to implement a MagSafe like charging system so it magnetically aligns itself and locks in place.

I'd love to see if u can do any of these mods to a N2DS XL. That's my main system I have and idk if I'd go out of my way for a N3DS

Nice I’m enjoying my modded 2DS XL

Great video, if you could find a way to do the new 3ds xl capture card mod that would be amazing, i have only seen people selling it for hundreds, but have not found the method itself yet

Can you link where you got the stuff for wireless charging, I wanna do the mod but cant find proper resources

Can I do some of these mods, especially type C port on the side as you did there on the new 3DS model? or are the new 3ds and 3ds xl not simmilar enough for this and need different methods

Can you replace the SD card loader to support newer SD card formats?

The X1 nib is specifically a low-profile one. For replacement nubs you will probably find one that is too big and too tall. Just trying to spread the right one. It's also a super easy replacement/removal, just as he suggested. Just the screws to reveal the inner hardware and being careful when you flip it open.

Where the hell does someone find a full housing swap for these things ;w;

The C-Stick mod on a N2DSXL can blend the top screen, especially if you have a screen protector. I replaced mine with a PSP stick some years ago, and over time it started to blend. There isn't enough space for a thicker stick on that console, but it looks like the other models are fine for that.

There's a USB C board that I installed recently and replaces the old port, and apparently it already supports USB-PD. You can also get high capacity batteries. Do you have a link for getting those Cstick nubs? My Cstick is giving me trouble and that seems like a perfect fix.

I made a video of adding Bluetooth and the same USBC charging mod too. Perfect fit. Never tried the wireless charging though since at that point why would I need a device to charge 3 different ways.

Very cool ideas

Would love to do the wireless charging mod, but I lack the tools and knowledge of soldering anything. I know it was mentioned being a beginner level project though. Might be something I look into for the future. My charge port for my N3DSXL appears bent. All 3 of my systems appeared to be this way, so my only workable option seems to be those 3DS charge docks. Just plugging in with a cable doesn't seem to work. No idea how this happened on all 3 units as I do take really good care of my systems.

Bruh I got the new cstick in today and the difference is INSANE! It’s actually like a second left stick! Super comfortable, low profile, fits like a glove, very sensitive input, and easy to install. Undeniably a must do upgrade. Thanks for the tip!

One of my favorite systems though, sadly it does not see much play anymore, but have been meaning to get back to it.
