Hacking SNES VC was just announced for New 3DS.

It was just confirmed in the Nintendo Direct. https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/705517800354263040

Lets try to install the cias on an old 3ds. I wonder what will happen...

This seems just like a marketing scheme to give new 3ds something unique other than Xenoblade.

Now let's play the waiting game for custom snes vc games.
Personally waiting for Bubsy 1.

I certainly hope they'll run on the O3DS. I assume, though, that they'll be "optimized" for the N3DS, using extra power so they don't have to optimize it as properly.

I mean, my SNES emulator works great on my N3DS, but I suppose official support is nice also

Anyone know if you can spoof console type so that these can be bought/downloaded to an o3ds?

With Homebrew almost definitely, just wait until release to be sure.

I wonder if they won't be compatible with the o3DS due to the added modes. However, the so called Pixel Perfect resolution doesn't seem to need more power, as IIRC, the 3DS resolution is better than what the SNES outputs.

@RednaxelaNnamtra is this something you can add to free multi patcher?

Would need to check if its possible, but atm I'm working on BootCTR9.
Edit:
But everybody who has time could try to find a patch using the ntr debugger, and release a patch file for everybody, if they get it working.

no surprise, NO cross buy

look like you need to REBUY the VC for the 3ds even if you have the Snes game on the Wiiu
maybe when my nintendo goes fully live, cross buy or a discount might happen

 

[dronesplitter]

Willing to bet (air) that they won't run on a O3DS. If they ran fine there, Nintendo would be nuts not to sell to O3DS people.

Don't get your hopes up.

There are already CIAs available in Lord Voldemort's site.

They say it doesn't even install on O3DS.

Someone should test and report it here.

Tested like 2 mins ago, they refuse to install on an o3ds.

 

[AtlasFontaine]

They have the Snes assets, they have the total understanding of the console, they have access to the hardware at its fullest, and yet they decided to only release that shit on New3DS when something like BlargSnes proves that O3DS is capable of runing snes games.

I'm mad.

 

[Bimmel]

So the games are exclusive because the O3DS can't handle the resolution of the SNES. The resolution.

What a joke.


(Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

 

[MrCheeze]

You're wrong.

 

[phalk]

What CIA installer you used?
Also, any error messages?

 

[Bimmel]

You're wrong.

Enlighten me then.

 

[Daggot]

I used both the newest Devmenu leak and FBI. The FBI error log is already up if you wanna see.

Snes VC confirmed unable to install on o3ds on FBI or DevMenu.
FBI Output reads:

Install failed!
