>>1571854 Setting up an SD Card for 3DS homebrew is a pain in the ass. That said I would like to play Ninja Gaiden DS one of these days.

>>1571854 First I'd have to repair the damn thing. Top screen is fucked and won't boot properly. (Left it lying on the floor, dropped a shirt over and days later stepped on it).

Got around to playing Sonic Colors DS, Generations DS, and Lost World 3DS recently. I'm not a huge fan of the Advance/Rush style gameplay, and that's what Colors and Generations are, but they're alright. I definitely didn't like either as much as Rush Adventure, but I liked them better than Rush 1, and maybe about on par with the Advance games. Lost World is really cool. I guess I just like 3D platformers more than 2D, but the 3DS game compares very well with the Wii U game. It's weird that they made a whole other game that's so similar but just has different level designs. Both 3D platformers with the same mechanics and level themes, not to mention story (including cutscenes), but they bothered to make wholly different levels. And I like those levels. Lost World Wii U is one of my less liked mainline console Sonic games, but I still like it better than a lot of the handheld spinoffs, and I like the 3DS version about as much as the Wii U version. HOWEVER, the Special Stages were completely fucked by mandatory motion controls. I really like them otherwise, it's a really fun idea for a Special Stage, but you have to be able to move 360 degrees in order to play them properly, which means you have to stand up or maybe sit in a swivel chair. The closest you can get to a workaround is to pause, move your console in the opposite direction, unpause, and then continue moving it in the direction you actually want to turn. That obviously is not a good option. But aside from that, the Special Stages are really fun, so it's a shame this sort of ruined them. I also beat Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin recently. Fun game, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Dawn of Sorrow. Sisters Mode and Richter Mode both aren't nearly as cool as Julius Mode, and I don't think I enjoyed the portrait gimmick very much. Theoretically it would allow for linear classic style Castlevania levels in a Symphony style game, but they didn't really do that. The portrait levels were still mostly exploration based, or at least not linear enough to really give that classic feel. I heard Order of Ecclesia goes more in this direction, so I'll have to check it out and see if they do it better. But first I have to beat Curse of Darkness on PS2. It's the only one I skipped because I hated Lament of Innocence, but now I feel bad that I skipped it so I'll go back to it before moving on to the next game.

>>1571951 damn dude that sucks. My question is though, why didn't you have some type of protector carrying case for it? I mean I got one for my Vita, and while the design is different (for a 3DS) electronics are quite sensitive.

>>1571951 at least it could still function as a GBA :^)

We should make a skin for the 3DS There's only 1 Vivian theme and its from 2018 with the clover.

where do/did you get replacement shells from? mine broke near the hinge, and so did the new housing, twice. maybe the hinge itself is part of the problem because there's no play in it (my 3ds wobbles a bit when you open it, but this thing is completely stiff), but the shells i got always have poor qc as well (crooked text with weird font and color, screw posts breaking, bad cutting near the status lights, etc). this would be for a dsi

>>1573692 Other than Ebay, Amazon or Etsy I don't really know Only console I've reshelled recently is a Gamecube and that was from Etsy Unrelated but I just found a 3DS port of Yume Nikki https://archive.org/details/yume-nikki-3-ds-english

>>1572475 What would its homescreen music be?

>>1572475 >We should make a skin for the 3DS https://files.catbox.moe/25l13m.zip

>>1575006 Noice!

>>1572475 Working on one right now I'll make a version with this >>1575005 as the music, but at the moment my contenders for music are the four related audio files

>>1575114 https://files.catbox.moe/4ob5q0.zip Background music and some sounds don't seem to work so I'll have to fix it later but I already wasted like an hour and a half doing this so I'll put a hold on that at the moment

Should I just sell my modded 3DS? It's fun but I feel like I have to kind of force myself to play on it nowadays. Plus you can emulate pretty reliably on PC now, and 3DS games really benefits from the extra resolution.

>>1575247 You wouldn't be able to sell it for much, and on the off-chance you find anyone to play it with IRL you'd miss out on that by selling it. I like to keep my 3DS in a backpack or my pocket when travelling to see if anyone out there still uses StreetPass and I always enjoy the dopamine hit if I get a pass. Plus it's comfier to hold the small device and play something like Animal Crossing than it is to sit at your computer and play something like that, but that's just me. Your mileage may vary

>>1575247 >Should I just sell my modded 3DS? No, just on the fact alone that the 3DS makes a great emulation device. >>1575250 >You wouldn't be able to sell it for much That's not quite true. 3DS prices skyrocketed the moment Nintendo discontinued the system. >I like to keep my 3DS in a backpack or my pocket when travelling to see if anyone out there still uses StreetPass and I always enjoy the dopamine hit if I get a pass. Yes, I'm not the only one. Still need to finish that last Puzzle Swap piece.

>>1571854 I spend my time modding Dragon Ball Fusions for 3DS! Very comfy game, I learned how to make custom models for it and I'm having tons of fun bringing my favorite characters in!

>>1572421 >:^) Well, joke's on you, since I also got a broken DS (snapped hinge) thanks to a friend 8^)

10 3DS themes can be installed and shuffled, so this would be a great chance for the site's characters to have their own themes made. Also, hear me out on 3DS photos: There used to be stereoscopic photo conversions of hentai game CGs & some 3D models from MMD or other sources. Imagine Danielle & Phoebe's milkers with the 3DS technology! They were made for it! It's a niche, but it would be worthwhile to do since most places have long since lost those 3DS hentai photos to time

>>1588692 I remember that there was one scanlation group who had a pack of 3D hentai images. Sadly, I forget who they are apart from, IIRC, them being the ones who started the meme of "shitting dick nipples".

>>1589627 I miss the old net

>>1588692 Risque 3DS themes remind me of simpler times when a man could awooga at animu milkies without some moralfag yappin' in yer ear about it or some normalfag doing it wrong. Makes me sad.

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.

>>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.

>>1601332 >Or am I just retarded and something like this already exists, but I haven't seen it yet?

>>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.

>>1600612 >physical wear from repeated insertions Just like ur mom lol gotem

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.

>>1629817 >Sure, but do they do 3D? Maybe on the Steam Deck, but you have to get AR Glasses to make use of the 3D
