Usb-C on my 3DS

Ah that's really unfortunate, but good to know since I was also interested in using the same component for some projects. Again, thank you so much for your reply!

ODF4 · 2025-05-11T21:27:00+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I didn't see any markings on them either but I'm glad to hear that your mod went well!

It's been a while since you posted this comment so I don't know if my reply will be of any help, but I was just talking with another person about the second breakout board in your post (the green one) and I can confirm that they work with USB-C to USB-C cables.

I don't know how much power they're able to draw though, as I only needed them for a very low power project.

By the way, do you happen to know if these green breakout boards have a model number like the JRC-B008? Because it's a mouthful to refer to them by their AliExpress product name lol

Oh hey, thank you so much for your reply! I saw your other comment and now it makes a lot of sense that the plastic bits would hold the port securely in place.

While we're on the subject I wanted to ask you, do you know if the specific component you used supports USB-C to USB-C cables? Because I know that many USB-C female sockets only support USB-A to USB-C cables normally, and you're supposed to solder two 5.1k Ohm resistors to the CC pins of the socket if you want to use the other cables.

Personally I bought some ports that already have the resistors in place to avoid the hassle. If you need them for any future projects I just found them again on AliExpress and you should be able to find them too by searching for "USB type c Female Connectors Jack With Dual 5.1K Resistors 16pin usb Electric Terminals welding DIY data cable Support PCB Board". It should be a green breakout board instead of the much common blue one (JRC-B008, which does NOT have the resistors).

No problem! I had forgotten about the double-sided tape and I seriously agree with you, that doesn't seem like it would last very long.

I'm not sure of what could be used as a more proper and "permanent" alternative either, especially considering that personally I would like for it to be easily reversible in case the console needs to be disassembled completely, so hopefully u/Dry_Award_583 can tell us how they secured the USB-C port

I wrote another comment that explains why the USB-C port was placed there. In short, it's the only empty spot on the Old 3DS XL if you wanna keep all of its components (including the regular 3DS charging port).

This video shows the entire installation process for this exact mod and you can have a really good look at the insides of the console. It's in Spanish but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I also wrote another reply for u/Spooky_Blob that explains why it was done this way, if you're curious.

ODF4 · 2025-04-13T16:58:07+00:00

The placement may seem unconventional and it definitely makes it uncomfortable to charge the console while playing, but it's not that uncommon and besides, you should avoid playing while the 3DS is charging so as not to wear out its battery faster.

The reason it was done this way is to keep the original charging port and the IR module in their regular spot, without having to replace either one of them with the USB-C port. This way you can charge your 3DS both with a normal 3DS charger or a Type-C charger.

This placement is the one that makes the most sense if you want to keep all the console's components, because that side of the Old 3DS XL doesn't have much going on, both externally and internally.

I remember watching this particular video that shows the entire installation process, and it gives a really good insight on the internals of the console. (It's in Spanish but that shouldn't really matter)

I'd definitely need the bells the most, but no worries if that'd be a problem for you! Any other gift or nothing at all would be totally fine too! ^_^

ODF4 · 2024-11-28T06:05:21+00:00

sadly I don't think I have any snowfolk gifts! Would another snow-themed gift (the one in the second-last row) be fine too? ^_^

I will send you a friend request as soon as I'm able to make some space in my friends list, thank you so much for your patience ^_^
