Some 3DS kiosk demos and other various demonstration software can also set a flag in their icon file that will cause them to auto-boot without this key combination held. Trying to play a New Nintendo 3DS game (such as Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition for example) on a non-New 3DS using this feature will freeze the system at a black screen.

This mode could have been used for kiosk demos that have the Home button disabled, or for Nintendo's repair centers to be able to boot into a diagnostics card if the system can't boot into the setup for whatever reason. Additionally, pressing the HOME button, or any software functions that would otherwise do the same as pressing the HOME button, will simply shut off the console. Some games may not take to this mode nicely - for example, Super Mario 3D Land will crash if you attempt to create a new save file (Likely because you don't have any Miis). Games will not be able to check the Friends List because it will be empty.You will not have an internet connection or be able to use StreetPass.You will not have any Miis, so games will resort to their defaults.Usage of games will not be added to the Activity Log.You must have a 3DS (not DSi or DS) game card inserted.īy holding A + B + X + Y + R, you can force the inserted game card to boot directly, bypassing the initial setup and Home Menu, along with any updates on the gamecard's update partition that would otherwise be required to be installed to play the title.You must not have set up the system (i.e., brand-new system out of the box or fresh from a factory reset).

There are a few requirements that have to be met for this to work: There are a few key combinations hidden within the system software that are not listed in the 3DS' instruction manual. The Nintendo 3DS is the successor to the Nintendo DS, featuring greatly upgraded hardware, much better internet connectivity, a more robust operating system, migraines, and region locking. This console has hidden development-related text.
