Anyone out there still playing DS or 3DS games? When's the last time you checked on your Animal Crossing town or your Nintendog, anon? Share your friend codes, rival codes, Animal Crossing dream codes etc. here! Or open Pictochat or SwapNote and draw something and post it here! Or share your Mario Kart time trial times or, well you get the point. >How to hack your 3DS, super easy https://3ds.hacks.guide/ >How to hack a DSi, also easy https://dsi.cfw.guide/ NDS >How to play DS games online in 2025 Use https://wiimmfi.de/patcher/ or https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/WfcPatcher If using WfcPatcher use the args: wfcpatcher (ROM Name) -d wiimmfi.de eg. wfcpatcher MarioKartDS.nds -d wiimmfi.de See who's playing DS games here: https://wiimmfi.de/stat?m=8 Prefer to emulate DS?

A sample of some of those deleted 3DS photo conversions that were made in the past. >>1591657 Where there really risque 3DS themes beyond NSFW submissions from Themeplaza.art ? I only found 1 when I was looking for those 3D photos on the archives before realizing they were gone

>>1591728 Double posting cause it wasn't a risque theme but a hentai doujin being read from the internet browser. Most of the 3DS photo work was done by DGW666. Used to post on twitter, but he's been gone since 2018.
>>1571858 I need help on getting wi-if back into my DS game, specifically WarioWare D.I.Y. I use New Nintendo 3DS XL and its cartridge-based game, not a ROM-based game. I tried to get the internet back with WFC Settings, but it kept asking for WEP Keys, which is not the same as the password that I got on 3DS. It’s ironic that I got internet on my 3DS but not on my DS. Can anyone help me get it to work? I read the OP but I feel it’s for ROM only..
>>1591826 The reason it keeps asking you for WEP keys is because the DS & its softwares don't recognize WPA/WPA2/WPA3 keys. You either have to run an open network or use WEP for security. DS-compatible hotspots must be set up from a mac/linux computer or android phone. This will not work with windows unless you bought the USB Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector. https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/ds-index/wifi Once you have your hotspot running, you then need to get DIY-Fi running via custom DNS https://diy-fi.net/
>>1591888 >DS-compatible hotspots must be set up from a mac/linux computer or android phone Would an Apple iPad work since it’s made from same company that made Mac computer? And would virtual machine that’s Mac computer help as well?
>>1591913 >Would an Apple iPad work No. They can join WEP networks but not act as DS compatible hotspots. >would virtual machine that’s Mac computer help as well? Probably not even if it shared the same network. You would have to use OS X Lion (10.7) for creating a WEP hotspot as future releases removed that security protocol to make way for WPA. This gbatemp tutorial linked within the ds homebrew page can be attempted if you want to try it on mac os. Big sur removed making hotspots with no security though. https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-play-ds-games-online-with-your-macs-hotspot.571658/
This site can be viewed on the 3DS Internet Browser, but posting from it is a no-go. >need to download the PoW Verifier after solving the Bypass check captcha, which will not run on a 3DS >mp3s don't play >no apng animations >jpeg pics can be downloaded to the 3DS >banners will display and animate >files can be attached. Given the 3DS limitation, only jpeg & mpo files can be added as attachments. Given the site doesn't support 3D mpo files, to my knowledge, it is not possible to upload 3D photos tailored for the 3DS. Since you can't post from the 3DS, this becomes moot >css is completely broken. Background is white and the tables seen on the reply menu and posts don't have color, just text. Think of a Geocities page from the 90s with the limitations. >if the New 3DS is a Japanese model, the site will be blocked by the filter unless you use the godmode9 script here to unblock it: https://github.com/windows-server-2003/3DS-Filtering-Disabler I had low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised to browse this thread with the 3DS despite the problems outlined in the greentexts
>>1591913 <Post deleted Idk what happened but I see the replies about “no” so, the only way is to buy usb Nintendo Wi-Wi Connector?…
>>1597997 I have one of those USB thingies and I can tell you they suck, it only worked literally one fucking time for MPH and then stopped working altogether successfully. I have no idea why. Also they only work on Windows XP and Vista (Used it on an actual XP machine). Problem might've been the number of hoops it took to get the XP machine even connected to the internet in the first place which threw it off. I have yet to try it with a VM.

>>1598031 spent the last several hours trying to get the stupid thing working in both XP and Vista VMs, and have concluded that it sucks and I hate it
>>1597997 Your only other option is Linux, which may be better as you can have your DS's MAC address added to the Mac filter for security but it doesn't accept WEP keys. You can have it hidden though https://gbatemp.net/threads/create-an-nds-compatible-hotspot-on-linux.543283/ Seems the only real solution to get Nintendo Wi-Fi working again is having an open network.
I have a homebrewed 3DS which works perfectly well, until I slot in my Soul Silver cartridge, and then it's a 30/70 roll on whether it will freeze trying to read it whenever I'm on the home menu any ideas? if I turn it on and off a bunch of times eventually it'll read the cartridge and I can play it normally with no issues for hours, so I don't think it's broken >just download the rom I'm using the pokewalker and the cartridge has a built in infrared to communicate with it
>>1600431 If your other DS games read on the home menu fine, then your 3DS should be ok. Have you cleaned the Soul Silver game cart's contacts with rubbing alcohol? If it still doesn't work after cleaning the contacts, then there's a chance its the internal solder joints having connection issues overtime with repeated insertions. This >if I turn it on and off a bunch of times eventually it'll read the cartridge and I can play it normally with no issues for hours, so I don't think it's broken is what I'm thinking
>>1600524 if I shake it there's definitely something in there moving around, I guess that might be the part that came unsoldered?
>>1600533 Weak solder doesn't make noise, that rattling you hear might be debris or a loose component. Given what you said about the 30/70 roll on it freezing or working, that behavior sounds more in-line with failing sd cards and usb drives since they're all flash memory-based tech >corrupted memory blocks >random freezes >random errors >degrading connectors >loose solder joints >physical wear from repeated insertions
>>1600612 now that I'm messing around with it a bit, the part that is moving is actually the whole PCB, doesn't seem fixed to anything
>>1600671 >doesn't seem fixed to anything I don't think there are screws or plastic clips to hold the PCB in DS carts. I want to say that Soul Silver being 15 years old has a role with the game no longer working, but earlier nintendo platforms have been out longer and still work. Do you know if your game is legit or a bootleg?
>>1600729 it was used off gamestop, but it came with the pokewalker so I doubt they went through the trouble of making a fake fully functional pokewalker also it does work past that first read, it specifically fucks up on the home screen and nowhere else I basically click it out before pressing the home button and I'm fine , if I'm playing something else
Never used Citra, is there a way to scan QR codes for miis? I wanna stream tomodachi life to 8chan.tv
So - theoretically, what's to stop someone from making a very DS/3DSXL-like clamshell with the appropriate audio, screen resolutions, and controller layouts - but not having any of the actual computational internals of a DS/3DS system, just a video decoder chip and wifi - then streaming the video and audio from an emulator to the "controller". Then just have all your roms on your PC, home server, and/or cell phone. Can you already split the display between top and bottom screens to a multi-monitor setup? If so, it should be fairly easy to accomplish such a setup without much (if any) compatibility work needing to be done on the emulators themselves. Or am I just retarded and something like this already exists, but I haven't seen it yet?
>>1601332 Why would you want that kind of latency?
>>1601356 Most people aren't going to notice, and it provides a more natural way to play DS/3DS games with "new" hardware as the old existing units eventually get old, destroyed, or otherwise fail.

>>1601573 Well there ya go, I'm retarded. I'll have to look into these. The Steam Deck clamshell addon looks neat. Never really wanted a deck, but I might pick a used one up in a few years when they're dirt cheap as a replacement for my Vita for portable emulation.

I remember bringing my DS Lite to a convention back in the teenage years, and using pictochat with many others there. It was fantastic, I miss those days.
LEGO Star Wars 2 for the DS is kino, don't let anyone tell you otherwise The jankiness only gives it more character
>>1601573 Sure, but do they do 3D? Yeah, it was a gimmick, but it is the defining gimmick of the 3DS, and I think some of that magic gets lost when just emulating the 2DS, instead of a 3DS.
