    Homebrew What exactly does hacking your 3DS allow you to do?

    Hello! I've been a little out of the homebrewing scene for about 5 years now. Last time I was around, I bought a DSTWO which served its' purpose until recently, when it stopped working. Now I wanted to get a new flashcard and noticed there was a much more viable alternative: hacking the 3DS...

    Hacking Can I update my DSTwo in this situation?

    Hey, guys! So, I have a DSTwo flashcard since February and I haven't updated my 3DS firmware since (which is 4.5.0-10E). Yesterday, I remembered maybe I needed to do something to prevent my 3DS to force an update, or something (it happened to me once, before I had the flashcard), causing it to...

    Hacking DSTwo Supercard: the safest choice?

    After reading many topics around the forums, I came to the conclusion that Supercard DSTwo might be the safest choice for the future, even if I buy a 3DS game that forces me to update my 3DS firmware. I have a few doubts, though: 1º Does Supercard update its firmware fast after 3DS releases...

    Hacking If we don't update our 3DS update for a while, will new games we buy force us to update it?

    The question is on the title! It's probably been answered before in lots of topics, but I didn't find anything ^^" I'm asking this because it happened on Wii. And since I intend to buy 1 or 2 3DS games this year (Pokémon X or Y and Harvest Moon New Beginning, once it comes to Europe), I'm...

    Hacking Are there any news about R4i Gold.eu?

    I purchased my R4i Gold last month but I had already updated my 3DS firmware to 4.5.0 and they only released the upgrade/patch for 4.4.0. My version is .eu. Are there any news/date speculations? Should I quit waiting and buy a .cn card?

    Hacking Do I need to buy a new flashcart?

    So, it turns out it looks like I'm really unlucky. Just the week after I order my R4i Gold, they release a new version of it (the Revision "C", or whatever it's called). It looks like they released the .eu version now, too. My question is: Do I need to buy the new version of R4i Gold...

    Hacking Which R4i Gold firmware should I use?

    Hey, guys! So, here's the deal: I just purchased R4i Gold and I was searching for the firmware, but then I saw that the official version wasn't usable anymore on the newest versions of the flashcard (not sure if I got this right). However, I live in Europe, and I think the flashcards here...

    Hacking Does R4i Platinum v1.4.1 work on 3DS?

    Hey guys! So, I ordered an R4i Gold, but for some reason, they delivered Platinum :/ I am assuming Platinum is worse than Gold, but I'd like to know: does it work on 3DS? Because that's what I ordered it for: to play DS games in my 3DS. I need an answer, because I might need to return it if it...

    Hacking What 3DS compatible flashcard is the best for me?

    Hi, everyone! So, here's the deal: I really want to buy a 3DS compatible flashcard, since my DS stopped working and I can't use my old R4 anymore. Here's what I'd prefer on the flashcard: - I only want a flashcard to play DS games on 3DS. I don't need any other feature; - It would be better...

    Hacking R4 DS Cheats - Something is wrong here...

    Okay, here is my problem. I know this has been answered 1 zillion times, but something is not right. Got the cheats, placed the USRCHEAT file in the right folder, then nothing. I used the r4bugfix, then I placed the new _DS_MENU.DAT in the place. Still nothing . Only 3 or 4 cheats appear...

    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

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
