Hey,
is there a way to make your own 3DS Cartridge with a rom, or is there something like this ?
I thought of something like 500 Games in 1 DS Cartridge. (Without moding your 3DS)
Thanks for your responses or Ideas !

Closest thing would a Sky3DS+/Stargate card but it would waste of money to get one, best alternative would just to set up custom firmware.

Even if it were possible, where do you expect to get the materials and resources that are needed? It's not like you can Jerry rig a cartridge out of some spare silicon you have lying around. And no, you can't modify the ROM of an existing cartridge. I know this question is coming, so I felt it necessary to add this.

@Xanodios Do you know the meaning of the acronym "ROM"? :D
The main city from italy? Ah, shit. That's "Rome" xD

Install cfw and put the games on the sd card. There is no need to buy a flashcard.

There's stuff like Sky3DS and Stargate 3DS that can load .3DS games without modding the console but they are far more limited compared to CFW and are overpriced for what they are, when you could simply install free CFW and get region free, homebrew (emulation, save editing and more), support for game mods, eShop games etc., none of which the Stargate 3DS or Sky3DS offer, those only run 1:1 dumps of retail cartridges.

The op wanted to know how to make a bootleg 3ds cart that just works in an unmodified console.

And sky3ds/stargate is your only real option unless you know some chinese manufacturers, i think.

for ds games, it's much more doable, as those flashcarts are cheap and you just mold a new case that covers the sdcard slot after you put the card in. :)

But a card is a waste of money. They are limited and overpriced.

This Stargate 3ds sounds nice, I dont want to install CFW, because I also heared of a ban mave or something like this. I also dont really know how to do this :/

A brick and a ban are very unlikely. The installation process were very simplyfied in relation to a9lh earlier. And a ban...as long as you don't cheat online, you are far away from it.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
