No doubt. Nobody but collectors are making money on 3DS games. No real grey area at all IMO. I'll pirate the shit outta em

Modded 3DS is great. Super easy to do and you can use the hShop to download pretty much every game ever released plus their updates and DLC.

Been a while since I touched the 3DS moddiny scene. What exactly is the hShop?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 days ago

It's just a piece of software that will download and install any game you want.

It's like, a free/pirate eShop but also with cartridge games.

Any good resources for getting into modding one? Most I ever did on my phat DS was get a flashcart, how much more involved is it to get pirated games running on 3ds?

It's all just free software now. No need to buy a cartridge from a potentially shady webside. Just run the exploit which downloads/installs some files and flashes custom firmware on your device. At that point, you can install hShop which is essentially the App Store for pirated 3DS games.
