Q: Is this site safe for users of all ages?
A: Yes, but parental guidance is advised. 3DSMovies puts up content that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
Q: My movie/video is out of sync!
A: Try pausing and unpausing the movie, this usually fixes up the issue. If not; report it in the Discord so we can re-convert the file.
Q: Why are there black bars on the screen?
A: Most movies on this site are kept in their original aspect ratio, so some movies and TV shows are presented with black bars on the screen. This is normal and not a glitch.
Q: How do I know how much storage I'd need?
A: You check the size. 1GB= 1024 MB = 1073741824 bytes. The CIAs install on the SD Card, not the system memory/NAND.
Q: Can I play these on my Nintendo DS or DSi?
