Hey guys!

I am planning on buying my first 3DS flashcard that supports playing 3DS back-up games. I got a 3DS XL and I am wondering what is the best card out there that supports the most games and things like cheats, like the cheat database on the r4 card on the old ds.

I heard things about MT-card and gateway but can't really choose or have the knowlegde about it. Can someone help me with recommending the best one? Thank you!

dont update it,

if you want to use the gateway carts which really are the best of the best on your firmware you will also need to own a copy of cubic ninja or zelda oot. OR downgrade the firmware with through gateways software to firmware 4.5 and then you can use gateway to play backups by triggering it with just the blue card that comes with the set.

you are going to need to borrow or use someones game to let you downgrade or buy a copy so you can leave your firmware where it is and use gateway..

the games have an exploit which lets you boot into gateways menu.

STOP if you have an Old 3DS you DO NOT! need a copy of cubic ninja or zelda, you only need them if you have a New 3DS.

you have 2 options:

leave your firmware as is and use cubic ninja or zelda oot to boot into gateways menu to play roms everytime

or

borrow the cubic ninja or zelda oot, use it once to boot into gateways menu and downgrade the 3ds firmware to 4.5, on 4.1 - 4.5 you can use the blue card you get with gateway cards to boot into the gateway menu from here on, the blue card was blocked on anything over 4.5 you see.

you are better off going with cubic ninja if you have the choice, its faster to use and you dont have to mess around putting save files into the game before you use it etc.

Sorry for the confusion @aygoo just get your gateway card backup your nand and update Emunand to 9.8 there are many tutorials you can find here.

Also the blue card will work just fine after installing a CIA so DS games will play just fine using the blue card and save raw for editing.

    The snack that smiles back, Ballsack!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it
