    Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

    Apparently the new microSD I bought was UTTERLY BORKED. h2testw results gave me a 400MB GOOD 30GB-DATALOST summary. Had an angry chuckle at that, so much for buying unbranded Chinese crap online (and it actually shipped from CHINA too). So I bought a new one, a Sandisk branded Class10 32gb...

    Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

    Update on this attempt: NO GO My 3DS refuses to boot to Luma Config menu. With my new microSD, it boots straight to sysNAND (I know because it shows system version 9.20 when I go to Settings). No menuhax, no Homebrew Launcher. If I slap the old, corrupted microSD, it boots to menuhax, then...

    Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

    Ancient user here, last login was right around the time when Kotaku was still cool and actually wrote about games instead of bitching about shit nobody cares about. Woefully outdated when it comes to N3DS stuff. My N3DS microSD (of more than a decade old, seriously, bought it at the same time...

    Homebrew [Release] Boop

    I suppose I'm just not as invested in doing all of that as I was before. I'm kind of going back to the 3DS after not touching it for more than a year, and it's still on Luma that doesn't boot to the home screen but instead boots to Homebrew Menu where I have to launch Luma before it actually...

    Homebrew [Release] Boop

    The instructions require a lot of very specific fiddling of files that I no longer remember how to deal with. Short version is it's too much of a hassle to setup. I guess I'll stick to Boop. But that request time out from FBI really kills me. It's a 1.5gb file, so it shouldn't really be that...

    Homebrew [Release] Boop

    Gonna try this. I want the transfer to basically be the ONLY thing going through the network to maximize transfer speeds. I keep getting time out for some reason, it's like the transfer speed spikes really high and then gradually slows to a crawl over time until it stops completely, and I have...

    Homebrew [Release] Boop

    Is there anything like Boop except it doesn't need to go through the network but instead connects the PC/laptop directly to the 3DS wirelessly? Through something like an access point made by the PC/laptop?

    Homebrew Freeshop gets DMCA'd on Github...

    This is no longer piracy. Piracy is copying something and then distributing the copy. This thing lets you download games from the official eShop without paying for it. Imagine if somebody made an app that lets you connect to Steam and download everything you want without paying for it. This...

    Homebrew [Release] Halo Revamped Port!

    Can anybody tell me what are the current control scheme is for this, and how to remap all of it? All that I can remap is what's currently available in the options menu, but that doesn't seem to cover every action (like how to use the sniper scope). I like that it lets me use the stylus to aim...

    Gaming [Poll] Do you think hackers deserve to play Pokémon competitively? Why or why not?

    When the competition involves cash prizes, it's no longer just a fucking video game. But yeah, everything else is shruggable.

    Gaming [Poll] Do you think hackers deserve to play Pokémon competitively? Why or why not?

    Ah. A gold nugget. Something I've been preaching since I've realized it - People will do anything and everything if they know they won't get caught. From small innocent things, to conspiracy theories, to the nastiest shit that serial killers do. Alright. That's it from me. I didn't expect to...

    Gaming [Poll] Do you think hackers deserve to play Pokémon competitively? Why or why not?

    If you can't see what's wrong with that, then that's fine. It's just a base, gut reaction for me. Anything illegitimate should have nothing to do with any competitions, unless specifically allowed. That holds true for almost every other game, every other competition besides Pokemon. Maybe...

    Gaming [Poll] Do you think hackers deserve to play Pokémon competitively? Why or why not?

    You've also missed the point that any genned pokemon, regardless of legitimacy, is a product of a third-party software, regardless of any byte-by-byte comparisons. All that proves is that the counterfeiter can produce 100% accurate counterfeits. Like, if I somehow managed to print money using...

    Gaming [Poll] Do you think hackers deserve to play Pokémon competitively? Why or why not?

    Who the fuck invented "legal builds" anyway? People cheating stuff and trying to make it appear legitimate by sticking within game parameters? They call that "legal" builds - pokemon that were "cheated into the game". Before all the PKhexing, it's just a build. No qualifier to the name, just...

    Nintendo releases Swapdoodle

    I don't think any game used it. Colors did, but that was a homebrew. And I think Colors said that the DSi didn't have pressure sensitivity - only OG DS, and probably DSlite.

    Gaming SwapDoodle not opening

    Was just about to post this same thread - also pretty old luma3DS on N3DSXL. Was so hyped about this last night, but getting stuck on the splash screen totally killed my buzz.

    Nintendo releases Swapdoodle

    A lot of people did. It filled my friendcode list. Lots of great doodlers as well. Just because nobody you knew did doesn't mean the entire world didn't - it only means your circle is miniscule. Bandwidth. Bandwidth is the problem. Bandwidth is not cheap.

    Gaming [Poll] Do you think hackers deserve to play Pokémon competitively? Why or why not?

    Then IMO they are cheating. And regarding the poll, no I do not think they deserve to be allowed to compete in those tournaments if they are using pokemon that they didn't obtain through legitimate means. Whether people agree or not with my opinion, eh. But it is what it is.
