Posted May 10, 2013 My 3DS has been battered with downloads recently - from VC games, to GB games, to digital downloads, demos etc! I noticed my home screen was getting very cluttered, so had a little sort out! I saw this elsewhere and thought I'd steal as it's pretty genius - and no clutter! : peace: The folders are basically what they say they are. Only the first folders have the relevant content - the others are purely there for decorative purposes. It makes for a very tidy home screen though...! It got me wondering - what does your home screen look like?! Are you a bit OCD with how it's displayed? Do you like to have things set out in an exact fashion?! Or do you not care at all?! Post away if you wish!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 I order both of mine in a way...things I use the most first so like Pokémon stuff, new games I'm playing and so forth...then utilities I'll need, then Ambassador games My English one is near identical, just with more download games and Virtual Console games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 I didn't even know could change the home screen like that...and I use my 3DS a lot I would say, though I currently only have the original SD card so I guess it really hasn't been an option anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 Nice thread. I'll post mine in a bit. Here I thought I had too many folders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 - 3DS stuff. - 3DS download games. - DSiWare (I have loads more, but they won't load from an SD card) - GBA - NES @Aneres11, what's that SD card icon next to the shop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 @Aneres11, what's that SD card icon next to the shop? It's a tool to transfer your game saves from your game cartridge to your SD card. Basically it just lets you keep a save from a cartridge on your SD so if you choose to buy it again or digitally download it, you have your previous save. Pretty cool!

Posted May 10, 2013 Cube and serebii, your screens are a mess How do you not folder them!? I have mine n the full page grid but big icons, first page stuff all the games I'm playing now. 2nd page I have folders for all the various consoles, folder for trailers and folder for demos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 Curse you @Aneres11 for stealing my thread idea! @Serebii what do you use to get direct screenshots from your 3DS? Anyhoo, here's mine, not as organised as everyone else's though: Foldors are: R = Retail D = DSiWare G(1) = Gameboy N = NES G(2) = GBA T = Trailers D(2) = Demos G(3) = GameGear e = eShop (which is currently empty) Retail games: GB/GBC games: (Anyone else see the red tint on my screen, or is it just me?)

Posted May 10, 2013 Cube and serebii, your screens are a mess How do you not folder them!? I know the order to my chaos @Serebii what do you use to get direct screenshots from your 3DS? Have it modded for screenshots for my site. Getting my English original 3DS done soon too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 Cube and serebii, your screens are a mess How do you not folder them!? I don't use it enough to bother. They're nicely organised, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Here's my setup: From left to right: R: Retail Downloads N: NES M: Misc. A: GBA S: Game Gear D: Demos & DSiWare C: 3D Classics 3: 3DS Download Software G: GB/GBC My opinion on the rest. Serebii, yours is far too messy, Aneres is far too tidy, Ike... better than before and Cube probably has the nicest one to look at. (Anyone else see the red tint on my screen, or is it just me?) You can slightly notice it in the top right corner of the screen. Edited May 14, 2013 by -Dem0- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 I need to get myself one of those capture kits eventually. They're pretty awesome! Anywho, here's my boring setup... All my system apps like Letterbox and 3DS Sound are kept on the main screen... 1 = DSiWare 2 = NES VC 3 = GB/GBC VC 4 = GBA VC 5 = 3DS Download Software (downloaded retail games are kept in there too) 6 = Demos 7 = Game Gear 8 = Downloaded Videos and the Health & Safety app All my games are stored in the order in which I downloaded them. Speaking of which, my folder for 3DS Download Software is almost full, so I'm gonna need to make another one for that soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 Ike... Really? I have more stuff on my homescreen than before. Here's my Japanese unit I guess, nothing too exciting and just cleaned it up from a few demos that aren't needed any more. F = Famicom e = eShop Famicom Fire Emblem games: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2013 Haha, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. What are those two Project X Zone icons for? Two different demo modes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2013 WTH, I didn't realise you could have more than 2 rows on the home screen?? How? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2013 WTH, I didn't realise you could have more than 2 rows on the home screen?? How? At the very top top left of the touch screen is a sun icon, that's for screen brightness. To the direct right of that is the square and 4 square buttons, those change your icon count on the touch screen. I recently found out that these work in the sub-folders as well.

Posted May 14, 2013 WTH, I didn't realise you could have more than 2 rows on the home screen?? How? I'm the same...didn't have a clue it took me ages to work out how to get two rows....time for some fiddling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 16, 2013 Screens of my 3DS screen, the top is the folder marked "D". Download titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Here's my home screen 3DSWare Gameboy Advance Gameboy Demos NES Media But I think I'll just get rid of my game folders since I keep forgetting what games I have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2013 Haha totally forgot this thread existed! I even posted in it! Well here goes, my 3DS XL layout: M is for Media N is for NES G is for GBA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2013 Nice. Kinda kooky to see someone keep folders for stuff and then not put 3DS stuff in them. My one hasn't changed much, except that I now have the Youtube App on the main screen and I now have a second 3DS Downloads folder (yes, I actually managed to fill a whole folder full of downloaded 3DS games - I'm putting that 64GB SD Card to good use!) So now the folders are numbered as such... 1 = DSiWare 2 = NES VC 3 = GB/GBC VC 4 = GBA VC 5 = 3DS Download Software (downloaded retail games are kept in there too) 6 = 3DS Download Software (downloaded retail games are kept in there too) 7 = Demos 8 = Game Gear 9 = Downloaded Videos and the Health & Safety app God I need folders on Wii U already!

Posted December 6, 2013 Just how many games do you have? I have 23 not counting the ambassador games... The reason why my purchased games aren't in folders is so that I don't forget about them and actually play them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2013 Just how many games do you have? I have 23 not counting the ambassador games... The reason why my purchased games aren't in folders is so that I don't forget about them and actually play them I have to admit, I have been guilty of that recently But I'm cracking down on that right now - which is partially why I haven't started A Link Between Worlds, Bravely Default or Super Mario 3D World yet...
