    ROM Hack Are there any consequences to using a Japanese console in the US (Or elsewhere?)

    There are no real consequences (as in everything you'd expect works just fine), but there are some things to keep in mind. Since the system is region-locked, to get started with Gateway you have to have a Japanese copy of Cubic Ninja or OoT. It might be preferable to just get a sky3ds as your...

    Hacking Stuck on 'gateway 3ds loading'

    That was for the O3DS. You don't use the browser at all with the N3DS. You need a way of getting Gateway's exploit save onto the OoT card, then you load the save in-game and press A. On Gateway's site, they have the instructions you want in their 3.1.0 release news post.

    Hacking Official "Will Xenoblade Chronicles 3D work on Gateway or Sky?" Thread

    I used Simple CIA to get an ncchinfo.bin file. Put that on my O3DS along with the Xenoblade rom, and used rxTools to generate the xorpad. If I remember correctly, rxTools gave some kind of error message but after looking it up it seemed like that message was normal. The xorpad generated worked...

    Hacking US .cia openning in Japanese? :O

    Install the game you want to play as a cia. Hover over it, press select to open gateway's multirom menu, select a rom that's of the region you'd like to force the cia to run in. Keep mashing A to select that rom and immediately launch the cia.

    Hacking Official "Will Xenoblade Chronicles 3D work on Gateway or Sky?" Thread

    My internet isn't good enough to upload that much data, so I made a thread in the xorpad section of a certain site with the file I used to make my cia. I've only posted once or twice over there, so it won't go up before moderator approval, but keep an eye out. I hope it helps. Edit: It's up now.

    Hacking Official "Will Xenoblade Chronicles 3D work on Gateway or Sky?" Thread

    I used a BBM cia. It didn't give me any errors. I doubt it matters, but my O3DS is US while my N3DS is Japanese. My O3DS was on 9.5 at the time, and my N3DS on 9.4. I really didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Xenoblade was the only cia I've bothered to make myself, and I made it on release...

    Hacking Official "Will Xenoblade Chronicles 3D work on Gateway or Sky?" Thread

    I actually made a cia of Xenoblade by using my O3DS, Simple Cia Converter, and rxTools. Transferred it to my N3DS and it installed and plays fine. I guess I got lucky in that I tried it before I read everyone talking about how it's not possible. I also don't have a japanese copy of cubic ninja...

    Hacking 128 GB SD problems

    I believe if it were the unused space issue typical of 128GB cards then BBM wouldn't launch at all. Since he said some cias are installing and some are invalid, the most likely scenario would be a bad or fake micro sd. Might wanna use something like h2testw to check it. That would be my first step.

    Gaming have problem using with a step

    Same thing happened to me with a 1GB card using the same method as the OP. Hit X while trying to figure out what was wrong, and when I restarted the PSP it had a shiny new CFW waiting for me. Turns out the menu was there, just not shown. I'm still amazed how lucky I was to not brick my PSP by...

I also always have Cave Story and a...

    Hardware So I want to play my wii using my Computer moniter.

    I'll add that not all TV tuner cards have a noticeable delay. It depends on both the card you get and the software you use. Unfortunately, there's often little way of knowing whether or not a card you get will be suitable for gaming beforehand. For example, the TV tuner card I bought a while...

    ROM Hack EO2 Translation WIP - Advice Needed

    Sorry about the slowdown. I should have a decent patch available in a week or two. I have a pretty shitty job right now that's sucking up most of my time during weekdays. Since Atlus finally announced an EO2 localization for June 17th.The patch will only cover Skill Names, Skill Descriptions...
