3ds hardware mod -- why am I doing this

hello !!

this is my first post but I wanted to share a pet project I have underway. until recently I've only software modded consoles, and this would be my first hardware modification:

I plan to put a USB-C port on my beloved 3ds from when I was younger. I know it's risky but I just feel like I need to do this. I don't know what compels me. my excuse is that this can go on my resume as a project, but really I just need more timber for the modding fire inside of me. that's the best I can explain it. below is the mobo. either it lives or it dies with honor. wish it luck this monday..


the castle gates are open

it's less complicated than you would think (which is why I believe I can do it lol). you have to solder only 2 contacts from the original charging port and they communicate through a positive and a negative wire. all I need is to wait for my USB-C board to arrive this weekend and for a slot to open at my school's workshop this monday

How long are you waiting for this USB-C?

hrmm like until this weekend. I realize I need to order flux too which is probably better than just rawdogging my first serious solder
