![]() Literally it’s worth hacking the 3DS for this one hack it’s basically a brand new Mario Kart game! It even implements new game types into the multiplayer too and even has tons of new characters and karts. This hack boasts a single player versus mode (which was absent from the base game) which lets you play any tracks you want in any order and with custom rules, it adds in the 200cc mode from Mario Kart 8, and is playable online. We’ve looked at one called CTGP7 (bit of a mouthful to say out loud that one) which adds in 50 community made tracks consisting of retro ones and brand new fan created ones. ![]() Outside of Pokemon though we also have mods for Mario Kart 7 which are straight up insane. If you’re interested in looking at some of the best Pokemon ROM hacks, then Retro Dodo has you covered! Obviously, these are also quite easy to get on the PC, but to me it feels way more natural playing them like this. ![]() This is particularly popular with the Pokemon games, and by hacking the 3DS you can of course get access to all of them and play them on your handheld. What does have a big movement though is ROM hacking or modding. In fact, the port of Grand Theft Auto III literally doesn’t work at all, so if you want to take full advantage of this stuff, you might want to consider upgrading to a New model. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the scene for fully original homebrew games on the 3DS is extremely small at the moment, however I do imagine that this will grow over time as more and more people become familiar with the inner workings of the hardware.Īgain, just like with emulation, some homebrew games will struggle to work on the old 3DS models. I never would have thought this could run on the 3DS! Homebrew Games You can even play Sonic Mania, which is impressive considering that it was released relatively recently.Īnd potentially the single most insane thing I found is a full port of Grand Theft Auto III. There are ports of Half Life and Doom, an enhanced port of Super Mario 64 which runs in widescreen and even has versions with updated character models. Outside of emulation, you can also run homebrew software, allowing you to customise your console with things like themes for your homescreen, giving you access to apps like a third party YouTube client, and most importantly, of course, allowing you to play games that you never thought would run on the 3DS. They’ll allow you to take much better advantage of the emulation capabilities, as well as providing you with a right analogue stick too.īy doing this, I’m able to play my favourite NES game, Bionic Commando, on my 3DS which annoyingly was never officially available to buy and isn’t even on the Switch either. I only have the 3DS XL which is the least powerful variant, but if you have one of the NEW 3DS or 2DS variants of the system, they are actually fairly significantly upgraded. The quality of the emulation performance is going to be drastically altered by which model of the 3DS you have. I’m talking Sega Mega Drive, Atari 2600 and even Nintendo DS!Īdmittedly the DS emulation is a little bit pointless considering the 3DS is fully backwards compatible with the DS anyway, but still you can do it if you really wanted to! How Well Can A Hacked 3DS Emulate Games? I mean to be fair, even if you wanted to, you can’t now considering they shut the official store.īut the more interesting element is that because it’s hacked, you not only have access to games which were never officially ported to the 3DS, but access to entire systems not officially supported either. The elephant in the room is that, of course, with a hacked 3DS you technically don’t need to pay to gain access to these games. Of course, Nintendo officially supported emulation and sold NES, Game Boy, SNES, Game Boy Advance and Game Gear games on their store, so we already know that the console is capable of this. Well to start things off, once you’ve got yourself a hacked 3DS the first thing you might want to try out is it’s emulation capabilities, so I downloaded RetroArch which was fairly straight-forward and gave it a go! Nintendo’s Emulation Secrets That all sounds fancy but what does it actually mean for a normal, non-hacker like me? If you follow some of the popular 3DS hacking guides, you’re going to end up with a load of things installed on your system, stuff called boot9strap, Luma3DS, godmode9 and all sorts of stuff. And secondly, piracy is bad and you should only access games which you already own. Don’t come for me if your console gets bricked or anything. Firstly, if you plan on hacking your 3DS after watching this, you’re doing so at your own risk. Note – Before we get started here, I do just want to do a bit of maintenance.
