I like the 3DS :> Capture card and controller mod installations for every 3DS model

I added an input reader (sort of). Button data sent out via UART to another microcontroller. In this case it's a Pro Micro acting as a generic USB controller. Still taking controller input at the same time. Here it's running the FRLG Sweet Scent script, so you can see what exactly is being pressed.

Wow. They really do care. AI isn't fucking it all up. My dick is 12 inches soft and I'm batman (true, I'm not a liar)!

They banned me for the fucking controller mod probably because it had "mod" in it.

This is for a new DS controller mod and the dongle currently looks like this. Arduino loads custom mappings from the microSD card and reads the Wii Classic controller.

Neither of them match the DS 😭

The amount of capture card installations I've done are in the triple digits and, unfortunately, this seems true. Unless they also get it with a controller mod. People who get controller mods seem to be more likely to use them.
Screenshot of Twitter posts. OP is selling their 3DS capture card and states they rarely used it. Replier is sarcastically saying, "what a shocker the people who buy 3ds capture cards don't actually use them."

Set up a Sweet Scent bot on Silver and it took over 100 hours before finally finding a shiny and confirming the bot works.

(About automated shiny hunting) Holy shit I found a shiny Skarmory the next encounter after a shiny Spinda. I disconnected the bot because I thought it was a false positive before I saw that it was real. Fastest one before that was 2x shiny Numel 7 encounters from each other.

The guy who scammed me in January is trying to do it again. Not sure if the channel is his or some other guy named Nat*. He messaged me on eBay, got blocked, then messaged me on etsy purchased something and I immediately recognized the address. 🤨 Already got me once. Leave me alone!!

DSi (XL) capture cards soon.. maybe

Permanently marred wtf man. This colorway (and the NES controller edition) have zero matching replacement shells available. Maybe forgivable if he put the USB-C port over the charge port so only the back housing is altered, but this method alters that plus the middle housing and the battery cover!!!
Shitty USB-C port on a Europe-exclusive Pink 3DS XL.

Bought a kit from 3dscontroller.com and it stopped working. Now I know why

Bypass Sleep Mode Switch Pin 4 on the controller mod is only for PS1/2 controllers, so I broke the trace and connected the pin to TP126 (hall effect sensor out). Pulling it high allows the 3DS to stay awake even when closed.

USB-C, capture card, and controller modded Ice White 3DS. It also came with Japanese copies of X and Alpha Sapphire.

Making a little shiny hunting bot The 2 chips on the side are essentially an SNES controller. The RP2040-Tiny will input the button sequence. Strictly Sweet Scent hunts since it can't see or hear anything. Plugs directly into controller mod port on 3DS. Will also have a switch to bypass Sleep.

I put a controller modded + capture card 3DS up for sale for a ridiculous price and someone bought it 😔 it was supposed to serve as an advertisement to the rest of my listings lol

Sleep Mode can be bypassed by pulling the sensor output pin up to 1.8V, so the 3DS can stay closed but be awake and viewed through the capture card output. I want to make a cluster setup like Raspberry Pis have.

Elysium @lezm.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
The og 3DS is the smallest model so I want to make a 4x setup with each one being a different color + somewhat matching ports (USB-C and header receptacle). However, I can only find them in black, red, blue, and white, so those will be the 3DS colors (plus this one). No purple 😔

It was a success. N2DS XL capture card installations are so much easier now, both Optimize and Loopy. Next revision will be better.

That's exactly right!! If Dialga isn't shiny on the first encounter, I buy another copy of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond™©® on a brand new Nintendo®™ Switch ™ OLED™®© like a real shiny hunter.

What if... PSP controller mod but still portable like it was meant to be!!!!!!!!
000
Elysium @lezm.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
Yes. Mainly the Circle Pad Pro and the amiibo reader puck. I believe Pokemon games also had it as a way to trade. It is possible to restore it with the capture card if you relocate the port somewhere else, like the charge port.
3DS XL with a USB-C port in the spot of the original charge port. Connects to the capture card and charges the console simultaneously.

Mini PCIe Renesas USB host controller board connected to the laptop's m.2 A+E key slot with an adapter Then powered via the Slimline SATA port with adapters. Now I need to cut as much length as possible so it can fit inside the optical drive slot.

The top screen pinout of the N2DS XL is the same as the N3DS & N3DS XL but with 4 pins added for the backlight. So I made an interceptor FPC just for the top screen to make installing the capture card easier, faster, and safer. Will find out in 2 weeks if I did it right or if I wasted $200

Figured out how to simulate a touch screen press on the DS but idk how to make it configurable via a controller
