A comprehensive, multilingual documentation site and guide for installing custom firmware (boot9strap and Luma3DS) on Nintendo 3DS and 2DS consoles. The repository contains the source for 3ds.hacks.guide, built as a static documentation website.

Use cases

  • install custom firmware on a 3DS
  • hack my 2DS to run homebrew
  • play games from other regions on 3DS
  • set up Luma3DS and boot9strap
  • run emulators and homebrew apps on 3DS
  • back up and edit 3DS save data
  • uninstall custom firmware from a 3DS

When to choose

  • you want a step-by-step, up-to-date walkthrough for modding any retail 3DS-family console
  • you need guidance that works on the latest system firmware without external hardware
  • you want multilingual, community-maintained instructions with safety warnings and troubleshooting

When to avoid

  • you are looking for software to install on the console itself rather than instructions
  • you want to mod a Switch, Wii, or other non-3DS console
  • you need a tool that automates the CFW installation process
