It's sold for 81 euros on e-bay (82 now since I put a bid for it) with 10 euros shipping and it comes with 9.0-20E...do I go for it now that I got some money for my birthday ? i would have prefered an original 3ds since I could have the latest emunand but that one is cheap for what it is...

New 3DS is better in every aspect plus like you said. It's cheaper. I hope that seller is legit though. Good luck on that one.

Not in every aspect though, the 3DS Audio Chip of the N3DS is arguably worse than the original 3DS, this was a given since the 3DS XL had a Nerfed Audio Chip compared to the original, and the N3DS practically reused the same nerfed chip, so, for audiophiles like me, the O3DS is better in that regard, and don't forget the fact that the N3DS can't surpass Emunand over 9.5, and as such all the games have to be played firmware spoofed.

But as a choice, yeah, go for it, New 3DS consoles in 9.0 and 9.2 are getting rare as time goes on, so, pick that choice and enjoy what you can from it.

Neat!, you could buy both the O3DS and the N3DS, an O3DS with that firmware would attract people interested in having NAND Dumps of it, the 3DSBrew Scene would be pretty interested in checking those, but if that isn't your coup of the tea, well, as i said before, unless you're really an audiophile like me, the best bet (in your case) would be a N3DS, though, it's kinda dangerous updating an Emunand to 9.5 from what i heard, so, it's at your own risk.

Got outbidded and it's now 92+ euros should I continue trying to bid for it ? The good think about it was the price but if I end up paying my maximum price...120euros that might not be worth it...considering I won't be able to system tranfer my 9.9blue aqua 3ds to it and then sell said 3ds for some money...

Welp got outbidded at the last minute. So I'm still looking for an exploitable 3ds for 120euros maximum.

honestly spend more if you have too. I spent £170/240eu for a N3DSXL recently. But I had the guarantee it was unopened and new. Came with 9.0EU FW worthwhile buy thanks to cias/hombrew and i finally got NNID to work on it finally lol, already wanting to replace the 32gb sd card in it almost full. (price was a bargain it was the gold majo mask XL XD)

CFW outweighs the cost of the device depending on its uses. your only issue would be getting your system transfer to work. I heard you can doa system transfer to EMUnand aswell as an option. its all about the saves.

Good luck with getting a nice purchase it will be money well spent.

Yeah ppl on ebay are usually bidding at the very end of auctions, and an exploitable [o|n]3DS is worth more money than a newer one (even though with the new Sky3DS+ you can still conveniently run backups).

call me lame if you guys want but i say the op should get a o3ds for the fully updated emunand
is the o3ds a weaker console? yes, but most cfw was written for it so you can (almost) always count on all its features to work
that being said on n3ds games will load faster and homebrew will benefit from the stronger processor as well

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
