The new update works for me fine now. Everything installed nicely, thank you so much. Do you know how a 2ds can play new 2ds games? I download XC but it doesn't work with the old 2ds system.

You cannot, even if you can run the game, it will run slowly

This seems like fabulous software, and I got it to run with no errors. But nothing seemed to actually happen when I plugged my SD card back in and booted up. Hmm!

There is the custom install process ya do over the pc. But there is also a finalizing step with the finalizing.3dsx that you run to have your games show up and play for you.

Just tried to use it, either getting errno 13 permission denied or errno 22 invalid argument as soon as it tries to start installing. What am I doing wrong?

For anyone trying to use this on a Mac via Terminal command-line, you need to install macFUSE (i.e. osxfuse). IMO this should be added to the Usage notes (or this dependency should be removed in a future release).

The save3ds_fuse build included in the repo should have been built with FUSE support removed, because it's not a dependency of this project. At the very least "otool -L" doesn't show a dependency on libosxfuse (a normal build does).

Wouldnt it be possible to inject a Legit Cia like MK7 (dumped from your own device!) into a unmodded device with this. Is the boot9.bin device specific? And the movable.sed could be obtained with seedminer.

You still need to be able to install the ticket for it, or already have it from the eShop. If you have this ability you can also directly install custom firmware.

    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.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    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

    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.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @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
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
