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.

    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
