Download Pit Crew
The Half Made Arcade launcher for your 3DS: browse this store, then install and update games from the touch screen.
Link your 3DS

Rather not use Pit Crew? Every game below has a direct .cia download: copy it to
your SD card and install it with FBI or another CIA installer.

Setting up Pit Crew
For New 3DS, New 3DS XL/LL and New 2DS XL/LL consoles with custom firmware (Luma3DS 13), plus a computer on the same Wi-Fi for the first install.
- Unzip PitCrew.zip and follow README.md (or hand the folder to your AI agent: the README has a
section for it). Short version: open ftpd on the 3DS, run
./pit setup <3DS IP>, reboot, start Pit Crew and press Y. - Enter the code it shows at Linked devices.
- Browse the store on the touch screen and install games straight to the HOME Menu.
Publish your game
VIPs can put their own 3DS games here: tap Upload Game in Pit Crew, then have your AI agent
run pit publish game.cia. Your name goes on the listing, and updates reach players automatically.
Homebrew only. Piracy is strictly prohibited and retail games are refused.
Remote control for AI agents
While Pit Crew is on, your AI agent can use the pit tool to move files, install apps, take
screenshots and press buttons, so it can build and test 3DS games and mods with you. Turn it off in the app,
or hold Y while powering on to skip it for one boot.
