Can I install Themezer themes with Anemone3DS?

Yes. Anemone3DS is a homebrew theme manager for the Nintendo 3DS, and Themezer’s 3DS themes, splashes and badge sets work with it. It lacks some of what Themezer-3DS offers, though: proper badge set management, a better QR scanner, important bug fixes and more.

Our recommended app: Themezer-3DS

We recommend Themezer-3DS. It is actively maintained alongside Themezer and lets you browse Themezer directly on your console, as well as scan item QR codes. See the Themezer-3DS installation steps or its GitHub releases. If you already use Anemone3DS, you can keep using it to scan Themezer’s item QR codes.

Get Anemone3DS

You need a 3DS set up for homebrew. Get Anemone3DS from its official GitHub releases. You can install the CIA with FBI’s Remote Install using the release’s installer QR code, or find Anemone3DS in Universal-Updater.

Scan an item’s QR code

Open the theme, splash or badge set on Themezer on your phone or computer. Open Anemone3DS on your 3DS, use its QR scanner to scan the item’s QR code, then follow the app’s prompts to install it. These QR codes link to the item’s download; they do not install Anemone3DS itself.
