    Banners not showing up until I load a game and exit via Home button

    Updated to the latest Luma (v11.0), and on latest n3DS firmware (11.16.0-49U), but whenever I boot up my n3DS, it takes a bit, and when it finally loads up to the Home menu, the game/app icons start loading in, but no matter what app is selected, the banners are completely missing. Like they...

    Homebrew Misc Looking for cartridge benchmark numbers or homebrew app

    Anyone happen to know the read speed of Switch carts, or knows of an app to benchmark them? While I can dump carts and check there, that is restricted by the write speed of either the microSD card or the slot itself, so I can't really gauge that way. I'm able to benchmark the eMMC and microSD...

    Hardware Is Meta/Oculus Quest 2 worth it?

    To note, I run a Lenovo Legion 7i laptop (i7-11800H, 32GB RAM, RTX 3080m), in case there was a question about my setup. If a Quest 2 is worth it, would it be better to go with a new one, or a renewed one? Amazon has renewed 128GB/256GB headsets for $50 less than new, plus they include a 1-year...

    Trying to remember an old (MSDOS?) game.

    It's a game I forgot then recalled many years ago, but have since forgotten again. Now I can't get it out of my head. I want to say it's an rpg, but also a side scroller, kind of like Ys 3. You take command of 4 characters, who all move together in a simplistic snake-like motion of...

    Android Is $300 off a good deal for Galaxy S21+ / Ultra?

    Last day of Amazon's Prime sale, and they have the 128GB Plus and Ultra unlocked models for $300 off normal price. Currently running with an S8 that seems to be showing its age as it's starting to take longer to run things, especially when it's connected to my car for Android Auto. My only real...

    Finding the tempo of SNES SPCs using SNESAPU.DLL

    So I'm looking to convert SPCs to another format, and I am using SNESAPU.DLL to handle the emulation of them as I grab DSP/Voice information. I can grab when notes trigger, their pitch, panning, etc, but because they output to these raw values, it leaves out an important detail which the...

    Thought about getting a Series X, but after Nvidia revealed the RTX 30 line.....

    ...I'm just not sure anymore. I didn't question myself before because the prices of GPUs were pretty bad, but when I saw the RTX 30 line, even the RTX 3070, was much stronger than the 2080Ti in overall power (not including other advancements) at a far reduced price, I was taken aback. For the...

    Xfinity Mobile Unlimited - video limited to 480p from personal NAS?

    So I'm going to be going on a trip within a week, and I currently have the By-the-Gig plan with Xfinity Mobile which I was planning to switch over to Unlimited for at least a month mainly for this trip so that during my downtime, I can watch my movies and TV shows stored on my NAS at home using...

    Should I hold off on purchasing an item from Italy?

    So there's a particular item on eBay (international) that I have been eyeing from Italy. No auction, just buy now. It's been up for a good week, and others have been watching it too. I was going to just go buy it, but with all that's happening with the virus, especially in Italy, I'm wondering...

    Hacking Want to update Luma3DS on very old 3DS, but...

    It's been a long time since I touched my old 3DS (at least 3 years), let alone play on it because I had gotten a n3DS, but now I want to update it. Dunno whatever happened to the memory card I used for it, but what I do know is that I had hacked it to be able to launch Luma3DS's configuration...

    Homebrew Question How safe is it to use Checkpoint to restore a save under CFW SysNAND?

    So I want to check differences in save data as a game progresses with relation to minimal online usage (no server-side data). I'd backed up the save data for the game I'm testing with, but I want to then advance in the game, save it, back that up, and then restore my previous save. I've been...

    Homebrew Question How likely will I be banned if all I want to do is extract a save?

    No save injection, just extraction. I've been using Atmosphere for some time only to use homebrew that doesn't modify the NAND (like Retroarch) and had no issue (yet) but I was thinking of getting some info from a game save using a program like Checkpoint. Sure, I could dump the entire NAND to...

    ROM Hack Question Has anyone looked into the FUZE4 save files?

    I've been wanting to work on my port of Mega Man 2 that I made with Petit Computer, but the main reason I was able to get that made was because I could make most of the assets on my computer, convert them to the proper Graphic Pages the program used, then scan them in for use. With FUZE4, it's...

    My Best Buy GCU expiring in a few days. Should I do my preordering before then?

    So by the 28th/29th of August, my Best Buy GCU membership will expire. I've got at least 8 games listed on their site that I want to preorder so I can take advantage of the discount. The question though is how should I go about the preordering? Should I lump them all into one order, or do it all...

    Hardware USB keyboard support is just quirky on Switch......

    Does it work? Yes, under normal situations, but it seems when using a Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless to emulate a keyboard by sending keystrokes to the Switch is causing problems in that keystrokes go missing. It isn't the same keystrokes every time either. The method is done real fast, but even...

    Homebrew Question Any free games/apps/homebrew that has keyboard support for text input?

    When I mean by support, I mean not using Switch's built-in dialog with a virtual keyboard, but having its own. I ask this because I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless to act as an HID keyboard to send keystrokes. What's wrong with using the built-in dialog, you may ask? Well, my test cases of...

    Gaming Are pre-existing Pokemon models in SwSh ripped from the 3DS games?

    Been hearing lately about how Game Freak is lazy and such, and one of the latest attacks is that supposedly the models in SwSh for Pokemon that exist in the 3DS games are just rips with better texturing. Any truth to this other than "they look the same"? Here's a video that compares the 3DS...

    Homebrew Question Emulate keystrokes on PC to send to Switch via USB?

    "Emulate keystrokes? Why would you want that when you can just plug in a USB keyboard to Switch?" Hear me out. In a few weeks, FUZE4 will be released, which is a text-based programming language/environment for the Switch where you can create your own stuff. I'm hoping to make a few things with...

    Homebrew Question Retroarch has been having problems after updating to 8.0

    Ever since I updated to FW 8.0 and began using Atmosphere 0.8.8, Retroarch has been giving me nothing but trouble. My card(s) have been Fat32 formatted. I have not tried any other homebrew. RA would simply lock to a black screen after loading a game, and when they randomly would run a game, if...
