*See Pinned Comment* How to Hack a 3DS (2023 Guide)

** Note that a new update pushed out by Nintendo on 22MAY2023 breaks all modding processes at this time. So if you are going to hack your 3DS, don’t update it first. **

It is relatively easy to install custom firmware on a Nintendo 3DS, but it does involve quite a few steps. This video guide is meant to be a supplement to an excellent written guide — think of it like a visual companion for those who want to see the process in action.
