    Hacking Gateway 4.1B installation trouble

    I'm trying to install the gateway 4.1B private beta for "fast boot". I followed the guide linked from the gateway site: http://scmods.com/gw_guide/GWFB-1.0.pdf I was able to get into the time machine menu and then updated to 10.3.0-28U firmware as instructed. Then I rebooted the 3ds, and it...

    Homebrew How does the smash controller application work?

    I've dabbled in homebrew development a bit in the past, though I'm still quite noobish as a programmer. But I would possibly be interested in trying to make a homebrew alternative to the "smash controller" application which lets you control Smash for Wii U via your 3DS. The thing is, I have no...

    Hacking Be careful buying/selling over paypal!

    Just wanted to share an experience that just happened to me. I've been aware that in the past, paypal has shut down their accounts with shops that sell flash carts. I had been under the impression that Nintendo probably tells them about these shops, and then they go from there. But apparently...

    Gaming eshop game with many hours of gameplay?

    Looking for something out of the eshop that I will be able to keep playing for a long time. Are there any good rpgs or anything like that? Or just something that stays fun for hours on end? Not looking for virtual console games, btw.

    What happened to the Buy/Sell/Trade forum?

    Did it just get removed altogether when the site was redesigned? Or am I overlooking it somewhere?

    Gaming Any good free downloads?

    Just got a vita, and it came with some AR cards, but not really any explanation about how to use them, but a card that came with them listed a website to visit for more info and it says you can download a selection of free games to use with them.After checking the website about the AR cards, it...

    ROM Hack New Super Mario Bros. 2nd Quest

    This is a fairly simple hack, which mostly keeps the original level design from New Super Mario Bros, but makes the game much more challenging. I'm sure most people would agree that NSMB was rather on the easy side, so this hack is basically designed to add another playthrough for people who are...

    Hardware 3dsXL questions

    There are a number of things that I am wondering about regarding the 3dsXL, but I don't see any of this stuff mentioned in any reviews, as reviewers are apparently satisfied to just tell us the obvious, like, its got bigger screens -_- 1. Does the bottom screen still scratch the top? I've heard...

    Hardware How often do you break the 3d effect?

    Had my 3ds since launch, and have mostly been playing with the 3d off, since it wasn't too impressive to me. However when I picked up Ocarina of Time 3d today, I was REALLY impressed by the 3d in it. Definitely the best the system has to offer so far. While I really enjoy playing the game in 3d...

    Hardware Now that we've gotten used to the 3d...

    Now that we have all had time to experience the 3d effect, and get over the "wow" factor of it, how often do you really find yourself using it while you play? I use it sometimes, but at other times I have trouble keeping it in the sweet spot, so I just turn it off.

    User customized forum?

    Every day I check several of the forums here at GBAtemp, maybe about 4-5 of them. It would be great if there was a way to consolidate the threads from all of those pages into ONE page, so that I don't have to visit 4-5 different places. If such a feature already exists somewhere, I apologize in...

    Hardware Why doesn't the 3d slider affect prerendered movies

    In both the OK Go video, and the cutscenes in Samurai Warriors, the 3d slider has no effect. What is the reason for this?

    Hardware Something interesting I noticed about the 3d/2d modes

    I was playing samurai warriors, and while viewing a map screen or something, I noticed some tiny black lines that were flickering on and off as I adjusted the 3d depth slider up and down. I couldn't quite figure out what it was, so I tried turning the 3d off altogether, and I saw what was...

    Hardware What's up with the IR sensor thing?

    Seriously why is this built into the 3DS? What's it for?

    Hardware Anyone done comprehensive battery life tests?

    I'm interested in seeing some real, scientific tests on the 3ds battery life. For instance how much life do you get when everything is disabled, and then, approximately how much the battery life is affected by each individual feature. I have especially heard lots of conflicting reports about...

    Graphics will get better over time - Hype or Fact?

    Whenever a new system comes out and people are talking about the graphics quality, there will inevitably be the people who say "and these are just the first round of games! Imagine the kind of graphics we will see in 5 years when developers have learned to get the most out of the system!" Do...

    Gaming Toys R Us: Buy one 3ds game, get one 50% off

    Just saw this posted on IGN. Apparently Toy's R Us is doing a sale where you can buy any 3DS game and then get another for half price. I had been planning to just get Samurai Warriors, but at this price, I can afford to pick up Street Fighter too.

    Hardware Trade in my old DS or keep it?

    Since I'll be getting a 3DS soon, do you guys think I should trade in my old DS lite and maybe get enough credit to buy a game, or should I keep the DS lite? I've pretty much played all the DS games that I want to play by now, except for 1 or 2. The only big advantage I would see in keeping it...

    Hardware Streetpass - how does it work?

    The 3DS has the streetpass feature which lets it communicate with other 3ds units that you pass by in your daily life. But how exactly will this work? For instance, what is the range on it? How quickly can it exchange data? If you are driving by someone on the freeway, will it work?
