05 – How the 3DS Improved My Mental Health (and How I Feel it Can Improve Yours Too)

Friday, July 24, 2026 • Duration 24:31

Hello my friends, and welcome to this latest episode of 3DSCast! In this episode, I’ll talk about something a little more serious than usual: mental health, and how I feel the 3DS has helped mine, and hopefully can help yours too.

This includes talking about:

The 3DS being a Focused Gaming Device
The 3DS being a Joyful Device
The 3DS being a Device with Specific Intention
How the 3DS Helped Me Replace Doomscrolling

I hope you find this useful, and if possible, maybe pass it on to someone in your life who might need to hear it. Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy the show!

Hello my friends, and welcome to this episode of 3DSCast!

You can find links to all of these on the Useful Links page, or by clicking below! Enjoy, and I hope to see y’all there!

03 – Why You Need a 2DS (Even if You Have a 3DS)

Monday, July 13, 2026 • Duration 16:22

Hello my friends, and welcome to this episode of 3DSCast! Today, it’s my intention to convince all and sundry that they need an original 2DS. Not the New 2DS XL, mind you, THAT thing is a piece of crap. No no, the original 2DS. You know, this one:

This thing is affectionately called “the doorstop,” even by folks who love it like me. However, it’s my intention that, by the end of this episode, you’ll not only respect this lovely little device, but you’ll want one of your very own, especially as prices are going up, according to PriceCharting. Now is the best time to get one!

Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

02 – Why the 3DS?

Tuesday, July 7, 2026 • Duration 25:21

Hello, and welcome to this second episode of my new podcast, 3DSCast!! In this episode, I’ll talk about why I wanted to cover and talk more about the 3DS family of handhelds (and probably the DS sometimes as well).

The 3DS is a remarkable machine with an astounding library. It’s also a machine with personality, with soul. It also is an even more amazing device one it’s hacked. I lay out all of this in this episode, with a hint of what’s to come.

Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy the show!

Tuesday, July 7, 2026 • Duration 13:06

Hello my friends, and welcome to the first episode of 3DSCast! This show is a love letter to the 3DS family of handheld gaming machines.

In this first episode, I’ll introduce myself, my history with gaming and the 3DS, and what I hope to cover with this podcast, including things like modding the machine with the amazing guide.

I hope you enjoy the episode, and welcome any suggestions for topics or interviewees, as well as constructive criticism, as this is my first solo podcast. Thanks for checking it out, and I do hope you enjoy the show.

06 – Luigoalma Interview – A Technical Deep Dive

Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 01:23:42

Hello my friends, and welcome to another episode of 3DSCast! In this one, we have our first interview!! I sit down with Luigoalma, the primary mind behind Cleaninty, which you can read about on GitHub or the Hacks Guide Wiki.

Cleaninty is the software that allows SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) transfers. What this means is if you mod your 3DS, and then change its region, this process allows you to make sure you retain access to your E-Shop account and Nintendo Network ID, or NNID.

We talk about Cleaninty and a whole mess of other technical amazingness. It’s almost a primer for the hardware and software mess that is the 3DS, and the geniuses that worked their way around those messes to create the homebrew mods we use and love today.

It’s a very deep dive, one I was fascinated to listen to, as I learned so much. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did, and I thank you for listening!

P.S. Apologies for mispronouncing the name of the podcast in the beginning. I’m still new at this.
