So it does mean, "can have many roms on same microSD" ?
was thinking like emulator terms, Multi-ROM = Multi-Disc. .... heh

hey guys,

i wanna get one of the NEW 3DS consoles being released here in japan tomorrow. my questions!

  • what firmware are they likely to have?
  • is flashcart technology ever likely to evolve to run on the newer firmwares?
  • even if the firmware is too high, can i still use a flashcart to run old 2DS software?

thanks, sorry for my noobism!

Is the key for ROMs in the ROM itself?
if you mean the decryption key, no, but it is derived from the rom, but then generated by the 3DS, which is why you generate the ncchinfo.bin and then the 3ds generates the xorpads needed to decrypt the rom, currently there is no way to actually get the decryption key, you have to rely on the 3ds to generate the xorpad

A few questions regarding 3DS'S AES.

As for AES-128, according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard, there's an initial round, main rounds, and a final round. There are also 10 cycles. Is the initial round and/or final round part of this 10?

The AES also requires an expanded key, referenced here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijndael_key_schedule is an operation in which you reference "the four-byte block before the new expanded key". What does this mean?

Does the 3DS use the normal AES, or a variation?

If it's a variation, could someone explain the variations?

I'm not sure this question should be asked in noob paradise. Not many would know the answer to it, and it is likely to get buried under the actual noob questions. :P

Maybe consider taking this to homebrew development?

This isn't 3DS related, but could someone help me crack this collision triangle?

Resulting triangle:
(-1,0,-1)(0,0,0),(-2,0,0)

Hey all!

I'm using the latest version of the R4i Gold 3DS (the one that came with the Deluxe) from the official R4 website. However, I am not able to play SNEmulDS. When I run it, it stucks at FS initialization. I was using a previous flashcart for playing DS games before but never had this problem (I'm using the same file for the SNEmulDS). Any help to get it to work please? Also, will my previous save files from SNEmulDS from my previous cart work on this new cart? Thanks!

I have found something insane. I was wondering if this could possibly be manipulated with an exploit?

Only problem is, I don't know how to reproduce this! It just happened! It crashes the system, and advises me to restart.

It seems to have fixed itself... I really am unsure! The only thing i did was switch themes, but that doesn't seem to cause it either. Very strange.

Is it possible to convert GameCube ISOs to 3DS ROMs? If so, how?

No gamecube and 3ds are two completely different consoles, the games are specifically designed for that specific console, if your asking because there are similar games on both platforms, that's because they've been redesigned and or ported over usually by Nintendo. Simply converting and .iso to .3ds will not change how the system handles that game nor make it compatable with any other system other than what it is intended for. Hope this helps. (Anyone feel free to correct anything I've said here. Most I've put here using a little common sense)

Now for my question, :P
I updated my emunand to 9.x not thinking about it, and so I just reformatted and started back on emu4.5.0, I just started a game of animal crossing new leaf, if I save and then update my emunand to 9.x once gateway releases the new launcher, will my save corrupt? I read something about a certain encryption after the version of like 6.x or 7.x that makes it different from 4.x. Can someone explain this? Thanks.
