🎮 Choose Your Mod Tier

Every console arrives fully modded with the same custom firmware — your tier just decides how much we do for you before it ships. Pick your tier in the options above.

🟢 Tier 1 · Blank Canvas — Free. The full mod, none of the clutter. Arrives with all custom firmware & homebrew installed (Luma3DS CFW, hShop, FBI, Anemone, FTPD, Universal Updater & Homebrew Launcher) plus 50–100 themes — but no pre-loaded games. Just connect to Wi-Fi and download whatever you like, free, from hShop: 3DS, DS, GBA, SNES, NES, N64, Sega Mega Drive, Atari & more. Perfect if you like a clean console and picking your own library.

🔵 Tier 2 · Head Start — +£19.99. Everything in Blank Canvas, plus we pre-install 100–200 games and 50–100 themes before it ships — ready to play out of the box. Leave a note at checkout with up to 50 specific games and we'll make sure they're on there. Ideal as a gift, for a holiday, or for a kid: no setup, just switch on and play.

🟣 Tier 3 · Fully Loaded — +£39.99. The whole shebang. We fill the SD card to the brim with games and 50–100 themes, and you can still request up to 50 specific titles at checkout. On top of everything in the lower tiers we add an advanced stack: PKSM, Checkpoint & JKSM (save managers), GodMode9 (backups & maintenance), TWiLight Menu++ (adds DS / Game Boy / GBC / GBA / Game Gear emulation), RetroArch (dozens of retro systems), GBARunner2 and CTGP-7 (Mario Kart 7 online + custom tracks). For the enthusiast who wants it maxed out from the moment it powers on.

All tiers use the same safe, professionally-installed custom firmware — higher tiers simply arrive with more done for you.
