3dsident Qr Code Guide

1. What is 3DSident?

3DSident is a homebrew application for the Nintendo 3DS. It is a system information tool that displays detailed statistics about your console that are not visible in the standard Settings menu.

• Displays: Model type, region, MAC address, battery status, volume, brightness, and strictly unique information like the Device ID and SecureInfo.

Step-by-step

1. Open FBI – This is the homebrew title manager used to install .cia files. It includes a QR code scanner.
2. Navigate to Remote Install → Scan QR Code.
3. Scan the valid QR code that points directly to a .cia file hosted online (e.g., from a GitHub release or a trusted mirror).
4. FBI will download the .cia file using the QR code’s URL and immediately prompt you to install it.
5. After installation, the 3DSIdent icon appears on your HOME menu.

⚠️ Important: QR codes for 3DSIdent do not come from Nintendo. They are generated by the homebrew community and must be hosted on a server serving the actual .cia file. 3dsident qr code
