Hi all! I’ve been building a homebrew app for my 3DS and wanted to check whether anyone else would find it useful before polishing it for a release.

It’s an internet radio player inspired by Radio Garden: you spin a globe on the top screen, center a city in the crosshair and listen to its local stations live. It’s working on my New 3DS, but it’s still in testing.

What it does right now:

• 🌍 3D globe (with stereoscopic 3D), real day/night line, slowly drifting stars and the occasional comet
• 📻 ~7,500 MP3 stations in ~3,500 cities (data from radio-browser.info), with song titles, favorites, search, genre filters and the option to add your own stations
• 💬 Built-in IRC chat (#3DSRadio on Libera.Chat) where you can share what you’re listening to, and others tap it to tune in
• ⏰ Bedside mode: big 3D amber clock, radio alarm, sleep timer, and a screens-off “pocket mode”
• 🎨 Themes inspired by Windows 95, Mac OS 7, Winamp and iTunes, plus a spectrum visualizer

It requires CFW and installs as a .cia.

A few questions for you:

1. Would you actually use something like this on your 3DS?
2. Which features matter most to you, and what’s missing?
3. Is the community chat a nice touch, or something you’d rather not have?

If there’s interest, I’ll share a video, and then a public release...

Thanks for reading!

Hi guys! Please help me choose which one should i buy / add to my collection?😵‍💫💘

All secondhand, no box with minor dents and scratch here and there but overall pretty good ;
Nintendo 3DS LL Red around 170 (usd)
Nintendo 3DS LL Pink same price with the red one but the condition is better
Nintendo 3DS (smaller one) 120 (usd)

I already own : 3DS in glossy pink, Switch Lite and Switch V2 ( maybe switch 2 soon) , emulator handhelds, bunch of Tamagotchi and an old psp👾

Game is Halo: Reach

EDIT: To achieve this I'm using a homebrew app called Kasumi and streaming Halo through GeForce Now. Getting a very stable 30fps, with a clear resolution and no input delay

In the summer, I 100%-ed Mario odyssey and I loved every second of it but I had a huge burnout after ( as I tend to do that A LOT when gaming). And ever since I’ve really been struggling to find something that can really get me back into it. I think I may be suffering from too much choice tbh… in the last few weeks I’ve tried Mario kart and obviously enjoyed it, and DKC:Tropical freeze and enjoyed that also. I just find myself getting a little bored and just going on my phone during levels for example and then just turning the game off..
Maybe I need something a bit more exciting and action packed, idk. Here’s a pic of my game collection for context
Thanks

Hi, I got my 3DS xl literally yesterday and I love it, I really want to buy a clear case to bring the 3ds outside but I hate how bulky it makes the console, I had the same issue with the dsi xl. Is therr any seller that sells thin enough case to not make the console even bigger ?

Messaged 10 minutes after it was posted and still missed out. That thing looks brand new :(

So i was searching my local marketplace for some Castlevania DS games and found myself a good deal. I jumped in a metro and while I was on my way, seller texted me that he has a 3ds for sale and asked me if I interested. I said no, cuz already got different 3ds and ds models, but when I finally reached his house and he asked me again, showing pictures of it and saying it’s only $200….
Let’s say I was shocked. Ofc it was no-brainer.
This thing is pristine. Possibly the best deal in my life, considering I spend days browsing marketplaces for something interesting.

I've played the Metroid series, Fire emblem Awakening and now RE Revelations.

Recommend me games with a female protag, preferably where its default because if its choosable they usually just have the personality of a cardboard (Fire emblem) for example.

Pictures are for the thing on the motherboard that connects to the ribbon that connects to the little circle pad detector. First is it closed and the second is it opened. I already bought a replacement and the circle pad was still wonky so I suspect that it’s the thing on the motherboard itself

If you want pics for the circle pad detector thing then I’ll provide them if you ask

I’m honestly so disappointed and sad to hear that the highly anticipated clear housing shells from EXtremeRate for the Nintendo 3DS family have been delayed due to overwhelming demand. 💔😭 I’ve been looking forward to these beautiful clear shells for so long, and I was genuinely excited to finally get my hands on them. It’s heartbreaking to have to wait even longer, especially after all the anticipation. I really hope they’ll be available soon because I was so ready to give my 3DS a gorgeous new look. 🥺💔

i have every game unlocked, but the exchange booth is still grayed out.....

Pokemon X, route 10, Tourist Tomoko. Original game and unmodded console. This issue happend previously at different points in the game, this one I caught repeating.

(I’m posting this on this sub because maybe some people have had the same experience as me and I want to know their input)

I might sound insane, but , hear me out. I use to have a 3ds and I sold it to get the ayn Thor do I love my ayn Thor yes , me and my gf are exchanging Christmas lists soon and I’m thinking of putting a n3dsxl on it. Why? Because I’ve owned my Thor for a year now and my hinge is already failing ( I babied my Thor like it was a newborn baby) I’ve messaged ayn and they are sending me a replacement pivot shaft. That and a plethora of other reasons like 3ds home menu , the 3ds touchscreen and that there are some 3ds games that require a lot of tinkering on my Thor that I just don’t want to deal with. I guess my main underlying issue is that I just don’t trust the Thor to last trough heavy usage like I would trust a 3ds.

Anyways , what yall think ? Am I crazy or what?

😼

The accident happened after i fully opened up the 3ds and won't go away. It also forms some type of silhouette after 20-25 seconds.

Why would I talk about this?
I previously tried it and didn’t get on with it mind you tried for a bout 20 minutes, got bored found another game to have a stab at it was Pokemon white as it’s the one I skipped, it was alright.
Anyway kept seeing F.E pop again and again (and again thanks to me) thought I’d really give it another shot……. 4 hours later I’m hooked. What an absolute masterpiece so far the story the animations the combos I’m still toying with it like figuring out class’s and such and making all mistakes like buying weapons that are pants but at of this waffle the lesson I’ve learnt is perseverance before making my mind up

Ive recently brought a modded 2ds off vinted, it hasnt come yet or anything but I just wanted to ask what to check for when it does come, to make sure everything is working okay before accepting the order.

Also game suggestions/homebrew tips would be awesome!

Tyia! 💖

I don’t even know how I watched anything on the 3Ds screen lol

Alright, gonna start this by saying I have sent a system to nintendo for repair before and got it fixed so I know about unmodding a system so nintendo will work on it but recently a friend found out about how I collect 3Ds family systems since I grew up with them and gifted me a pokeball 2Ds XL they found at a pawnshop for like $20, the system doesnt power on anymore so I cant check if the system is modded would it be worth sending to nintendo for repairs? I know that they just send a replacement system given my previous "repaired" system but idk how I should go about this system since I cant see if its modded or not.

Edit cause forgot: I try and repair what I can but since the 2Ds XL is a pain to open up and repair from what I've heard so I'd rather have it looked at by those who know what they're doing hence why I'm debating sending it to nintendo

UPDATE: I got really lucky, the battery bloating caused pressure on the buttons, so the 3ds thought they were all being pressed. After changing the battery everything it fully working! Got it for a steal considering it's only a $15 replacement!

I won this NEW 3DS LL from an auction for $130.

But all the buttons on the right side dont work. (A, B, X, Y, start, select and C-stick) Does anyone have any ideas or clues why?

Everything else seems to be working.

I'll take it apart this evening but wanted some ideas or clues first, for things I should check.

Thanks all.
