Hello (new poster, but browse here a lot).
My younger brother lost my DSlite at the campground we go to last year...after a year of waiting until the next season started he tells me its pretty much gone and is going to pay me back for what he lost. Now im out a DS and have a question about what works well with the 3DS.

Since my DS is gone and i know il eventually get the 3DS eventually, i thought...might as well get a 3DS (found one for about 200$ at a local game shop used) so im wondering which card is better? Is one more likely to be supported more? is one faster with updates? is one "replaced" more? (aka: constantly making new versions you need to get) does one have a bigger community behind it? do they use .sav files? ...that kind of info.

I Understand the 3DS has not been "hacked" yet so we cant get roms or homebrew on it yet (il be patient on that)

Sorry for the drawn out question. Im likely going to order the stuff today so anyone who can get me a good idea soon would be very much appreciated.

Both are about equal, sometimes one waits longer for an update, and sometimes the other. They both have big communities, and both use standard .SAV files.

I wouldn't trust SD cards from chinese reseller sites, they tend to have the crappiest ones they can get away with.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
