In rare cases, it may be rendered a permanently unusable paper weight. Additionally, Nintendo has been known to ban users with hacked systems. Follow these instructions exactly and continue at your own risk. Pay attention to the firmware version of your Nintendo 3DS or 2DS system and do not continue unless you have the right firmware version.

  2. 2

    Insert a micro SD card into your 3DS and power it on. If you don't already have a 32 GB or higher micro-SD card inserted into your 3DS, go ahead and insert one and power it on. The way you insert a micro-SD card differs on different 3DS models. Some newer models require you to unscrew the bottom panel to access the micro SD card slot and battery.

    • If you are using a brand new micro SD card, you will need to format it in FAT 32 format in order to use it with your 3DS.
