You are not permitted to profit off of this design or use it in any commercial venture.The Nintendo 3DS hacker community is reeling this week as owners of modded handhelds are reporting in large numbers that they can no longer access online services, like streaming apps and multiplayer features. If you have improvements, please modify these design files and share any improvements openly/freely with the community (via a pull request or another public repository)! Instructions for assembly/installation can be found in INSTALLATION.md License That said, if you have any issues or questions, don't hesitate to reach out! Installation Modify your console at your own risk! This product is provided "as is", with no warranty - express or implied. Just be aware in the worst case, your console might charge a little slower. So please keep in mind that your mileage may vary, based on what USB charger you use and how precisely that charger follows the USB specification.

However, in my testing, my console consumed 800mA at 5.1V, charging just as fast as the WAP-002. This is, on paper, 40% slower charging than with the WAP-002. According to the USB-C spec, this mod will allow charging at up to 500mA at 5V. This console's original charger (WAP-002) outputs up to 900mA at 4.6V. For the original 3DS, I recommend this mod by makho: makhowastaken/3DS_C Charge Speed This mod is not compatible with the original Nintendo 3DS. This mod is not compatible with: 2DS, New 2DS XL, New 3DS, New 3DS XL. This is designed for installation in any Nintendo 3DS XL (SPR-001). No 3D-printed part is included, but the file is available for you to print yourself, if you want. My PCB works with USB-C USB-C cables as well, so you can use ANY USB-C cable/charger to charge it! I've also verified it works with USB-A -> USB-C cables, Quick Charge, and USB-PD! That means if your charger or USB battery pack offers 5V/9V/12V/etc., it will recognize the 3DS XL can only accept 5V and charge accordingly. In my opinion, if you're gonna future-proof your 3DS XL, you shouldn't remain reliant on Type-A!


My design is inspired by this existing PCB that only works with USB-A -> USB-C cables. The truly universal USB-C dream is finally realized for your Nintendo 3DS XL!Ĭharge your Nintendo 3DS XL with USB-C, using any USB-C cable and charger! If it fits, it'll charge! Finally you can stop carrying around that extra proprietary cable!
