What about a direct download pach in the 3ds browser
Idea 2
arcive viewer and extractor for .zip .7z .rar and .garc and .narc
Idea 1 COULD be possible, but way to much work for a simple homebrew and patching things stored in NAND (stock apps) can end up in bricks, so not worth it. To download stuff, you can go with MultiDownload++ though if you know the link to the file. For idea 2, I think there already is one for .zip and same for .garc and .narc (both of which have absolutely no reason to be opened on the 3DS btw).

You can't download files in the 3ds browser, so first idea is impossible
You CAN download select files (eg: certain pictures), so it IS possible, just would take reprogramming a large chunk of code.

what about a browser alternative like a homebrew internet browser?
That would be a nice idea and since it's a homebrew (meaning it runs as a game instead of along with a game), it can even be extended-memory and end up really strong. But again, not worth the sheer amount of work it will take. Also, why use the 3DS for browsing? Even a terrible phone can do more:P

1) A GBA loader (similar to twloader, but it loads a GBA ROM into AGB_FIRM and executes it. This will save space on the SD card instead of installing each as a CIA, and will run faster than on mGBA)
2) A media player, except it works similar to webman on the PS3 (you choose a video, and then it opens it in a browser window)

It would be nice if there was a homebrew app that allowed you to modify your 3DS user profile in System Settings, specifically the country because you would be able to change your region setting to countries usually inaccessible through the menu (i.e. Country set to Mexico on an EUR console)

There is actually a way to change your console’s region, but probably not your exact country. Regardless, most CFWs have region free support anyways

It's been done recently, said that in an earlier post too. You can inject the DS bios as an NDS forwarder and use it just fine, pictochat and everything.
I didn’t know you could do that. I’m gonna download it and see what happens.

I know, it's the NDS OS basically. Can't find the thread about it though, think it was like a month ago, but can't remember the name of the thread or where it was posted... I thought I bookmarked it but apparently I don't have it:/

It's alright, just heads up that sharing such files is against the rules, so make sure to read those just in case...

PS: This is my 2000th post!:toot::grog:
I just read the rules again. I missed that section, thank God i didn’t upload it. Also congrats! :yay3ds::toot:
