Do we have something comparable for the 3DS yet?
- prophesi 3y agoIt doesn't seem like it, though I'd recommend modding your 3DS anyways. The process is pretty short and painless, and It becomes a really cool piece of hardware that can run GBA/DS/3DS games, has a working Virtual Boy emulator, and can easily retrieve patched games (useful for undub's, fan translations, and romhacks). And, now, can connect to the Pretendo network.
- AdmiralAsshat 3y agoHmm. I had held off on trying to mod my 3DS for fear of knock-on effect (since my 3DS and Switch account were tied together behind the same email, I didn't want some nightmare scenario of Nintendo somehow detecting mods on the 3DS and then banning my account, locking out the Switch in the same stroke). But I suppose if the 3DS servers are actually shut down now, that risk goes away. Primarily I'd just like to backup my saves and the games I legally purchased.
- thejsa 3y agoTelemetry on the 3DS is minimal compared to what Nintendo put in place on the Switch — you’ll be alright, especially if you use the Pretendo online servers.
- thejsa 3y agoWe [0] did for a while - discovered by the same dev as found SSSL — and sat on it for a long time at Kaeru, but it was independently discovered [1] and reported to Nintendo by someone else, so it unfortunately got patched before EoL.
