Can you take the board out of a 3ds cart and put it into a ds cart? Obviously to mangle your 3ds cart.
Yes, and I can confirm that it does work very nicely. So if your too classy to saw off the nub, you can just take apart a crappy DS game you don't play with a small flathead screwdriver. Here's a pic with the carts swapped. Notice the Ocarina of Time cart that isn't inside the 3DS, but is swapped with another DS game that is inside the 3DS.

So when a hack comes out, just swap carts and modify the save! Although once you take it apart, it makes pulling the top and bottom halves of the cart much easier, so hot glue is advised after doing this, unless you want your cart flying apart when you drop it.

Nobody would know what was new on that page, so here it is:

This is a troll. Probably just trying to lure people to do a survey scam. The edit should soon be erased by an admin.
You beat me too it I was just about to say, do not send a email to that address unless you love spam, at least use a temp email.

From that idiot's user page:

I'm currently testing a beta hack overload .aac and .jpg they were originally a .exe some one help me find out if that will work

So in other words, he renamed an EXE file with the extensions .aac and .jpg, and thinks that will work.

WTF? people are getting really crazy with this hacking thing. The survey sites must be making a lot of money with this.
I'm really noob on this hacking matter, but i know that we won't be seeing emulators and homebrews until at least the second semester.

yes but you will need a DS Flashcard & a DS Phat or Lite

DS Flashcard to load the homebrew save dumper and upper
and a DSLite or Phat due to you cannot hot swap cards in a DSi or 3DS (hotswap is where you switch the card when game/homebrew data has been booted)

It was Xeno's website.
Though I honestly doubt it was the real Xeno. AFAIK they have NEVER released any of their releases through such means. They are waaay more hush hush about those. Plus iirc their "release" was the same as the others that is in circulation, which is not Xenophobia.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
