If you suck at the cross-eye method and don't have 3D glasses to watch youtube videos with, use the 3DS camera!

  1. Open up a 3D video on youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/3d)
  2. Select the "no 3D glasses/cross-eye" option.
  3. Set your browser zoom to 50%
  4. Align the two cameras so that the left camera only sees the left image and the right camera to the right-side image
  5. Enjoy!

This is difficult to do at first, but useful if you don't have 3d glasses. This works better if you take a picture of the video and then view it, because you can adjust the 3D.

***Putting the slider/circle pad all the way to the left makes seeing the video much easier***

I was finally able to get it to work but actually, it isn't very practical. You have to shrink the screen size so that each lens reads 1 image and the 3DS cameras have a pretty low resolution and it doesn't help that you have to hold the 3DS steady the whole time you're trying to watch the videos in 3D.

What Nintendo SHOULD do is include Youtube support in it's next system update. It isn't a matter of supporting Flash seeing that the iPhone uses it. ;)

Yeah, I just thought it was a neat little thing you can do.
