Is it possible to take screenshots on the 3DS?
In Pokemon X and Y there are specific locations in the game that allows you to save what are essentially 3D screenshots from the upper screen using a virtual camera. This made me wonder - is it possible to take screenshots, 3D or otherwise, from within the 3DS?
Best Answer
If you have custom firmware installed on your 3DS, there are many homebrew tools able to take screenshots:
If you have Rosalina, press L+Down+select to open the menu, then select "Take screenshot (slow)". It's indeed slow (about 10 seconds), but otherwise woks fine, even with extended memory games like Pokemon X/Y.
If you run the game via TestMenu, suspend it using Home, then press L to take the screenshot. I'm not using this tool so cannot tell how well it works.

Answer 2
If you pause in "super smash bros" during a single player (and maybe multiplayer), L and R will take pictures which you can see in the 3DS camera along with your other pictures.
