    Homebrew [Release] Vice3DS (C64 Emulator)

    Can anyone let me know if it is possible to set the Expanded Screen Size of Vice64 3DS to match the aspect ratio of the C64? It seems to stretch a bit compared to the original aspect ratio of the typical '83 CRT that we used to show our C64 on. I messed around with the size settings, but it...

    Homebrew [Release] Vice3DS (C64 Emulator)

    Thanks that was a quick fix. I will wait for the next release and make sure to be careful when deleting folders :) Here is a list of the QoL improvements mostly to how Vice64 3DS handles files and settings. Automatically append filetype (.xyz) to filenames entered by the user when using Save...

    Homebrew [Release] Vice3DS (C64 Emulator)

    Well, I have plowed through a dozen C64 titles the last week as I was stuck to my couch with a sprained ankle. I'd say the N3DS is the optimal handheld way. First of all, the pixely low res graphics of the C64 looks excellent on the N3DS XL display. Second, the lower screen acting as a...

    Homebrew [Release] Vice3DS (C64 Emulator)

    @Badda are you open for suggestions for QOL improvements for Vice64? It is the most used app on my N3DSxL these days. I am a prisoner of my sprained ankle, confined to the couch. It is really the best implementation of a legacy home computer emulation I have seen, and I am having so much fun...

    Homebrew Unofficial 3DS RetroArch builds

    Hi, I installed the Libretro Caprice32 core for Amstrad CPC, and whilst it works just fine, I cannot call up the virtual keyboard at all on the 3DS. Anyone had luck with that? I tried to bind the combo key to Y, I taped Down+Select, Y+Select. No luck :<

    Caprice 32 on 3DS - how do I open the Virtual Keyboard?

    I have had a lot of fun with Vice64 for 3DS, made possibly by @Badda - but noone seemed to have made the same loving care for Caprice 32. There is no way I can coerce it to show the virtual keyboard. Is it even possible? Let me in on the secret. Playing Fairlight II is pretty tough without...

    Homebrew [Release] Vice3DS (C64 Emulator)

    Can it really be true that just YESTERDAY, Saturday February 11th a new version was released with support for Gamebase64 downloads? And I was just sitting here tonight thinking "Damn, wouldn't it be nice if you could just DL right off the site." Thank you! Vice 64 3DS is the best way to...

    Gaming what size sd card should I get for my 3DS 128gb ?

    I'd say 64GB is very much enough for the 3DS. I run with a 128 GB card, and I have 73 GB to spare, still, with all my games dumped and installed as CIAs.

    Hacking Firmware 9.8 to 11.8 update possible?

    Ah, yes, I reread the guide and found the step mentioned on page 5, Finalizing Setup, where it says you update the system at Section III step 17. Thank you.

    Hacking Firmware 9.8 to 11.8 update possible?

    I just got my hands on a New 3DS with FW 9.8 installed. I will probably cfw it, using the guide where you use the Soundhax method. After installing the bootstrap and CFW, would I then be able to go online and download fw 11.8 from Nintendo's server when it prompts without worry, or do I have to...

    Hardware 256GB SD Card?

    I didn't notice a difference in startup times between a 128 GB and a 32 GB card, I tried it yesterday. Not sure if there is any difference between cards, but it was not something I experienced in my test. That being said, if I were to buy a card today, I'd go for a 64 GB card. They are now as...

    Hardware Max sd card size?

    Just an update for an old thread: I borrowed a 128 GB flash card from work to test how it runs. I have Luma installed and simply copied the content from my old 32 GB content onto the new 128 GB formatted with FAT32 32k clusters using Guiformat. It boots and runs exactly as fast/slow as the old...

    Homebrew Freeshop on 11.8

    Also, we have a pretty good clue that they didn't redesign the security architecture of the 3DS to be like the Switch. It would mean redesigning the hardware as well. They have, for what we know, made a change to the downloader and installer, but not what happens after that. So that now you're...

    Fallout 76 on PC will use Bethesda's own client, won't launch initially on Steam

    No I don't think this is what I am saying, I just say that Bethesda launching their own launcher instead of going through steam, not to any advantage for you as a consumer. I don't like Steam. I don't use it anymore. If I even buy pc games, its on GOG or I don't buy them at all. Which means I do...

    Hacking 11.8 update FAQ & how to fix "Failed to apply 1 FIRM patch" and NTR CFW

    Isn't he just some attention grabbing youtube nobody? Listened to his annoying, full-of-it voice or 15 seconds, before I ran away. Who but Nintendo knows what they are looking for when they identify ban targets? This youtuber and many others don't know. All they know is they have an idea about...
