Before I get into this, please note that I'm not the smartest and most all-knowing when it comes to 3DS Homebrewing. So if I'm being difficult to understand, or even a bit frustrating, I apologize.

Hello all, I've come to this site to inquire about a certain crash that keeps happening as I go into the system settings. Let me tell you what happened prior to the crash, or what could be the reason why it's crashing all of the sudden.

I recently downloaded the Super Mario Sunshine DS rom, and used Forwarder 3DS to convert it to a CIA file. Now, keep in mind that when I opened the NDS file in Forwarder, a bunch of special characters and characters from other languages showed as (what I'll call) 'the title' of the game. Essentially, the one that will pop up on my 3DS home screen beneath the icon. The (what I'll call) 'the icon' of the game, was also something a little off, as it didn't really relate to Mario Sunshine at all.

Seeing this, I wanted to change the 'title' and 'icon' of the game, only to make the screen look a little bit prettier. I tried to mess around with a couple of programs such as DSLazy and something about a banner editor: MessAnimDSIco.jar

I ended up giving up and just converted the NDS file to a CIA like I would usually do. I then played the game, just to see what it was like and all. When I finished, I exited the game and wanted to delete the game off the system by going into the system settings->data management->dsiware. When I clicked on the dsiware button, it loaded for only a moment, and crashed with this exception:

This has never happened previously on my 3ds, and I need some help. I know it has something to do with the new game I installed, but I have no knowledge on how to read and understand crash dumps. If there is another way to delete game data off of a 3DS that I don't know of, please let me know. I'd still like to know how to get this crash to stop happening though, but any help would be appreciated.

According to the debug info crash, the legacy system settings (mset, AKA DS Settings) is the main culprit, the game you played somehow has messed up the DSmode settings.

Before anything, I would recommend to do a sysnand restore, hopefully you have one. else, try to unisntall the game using FBI, but be extremely careful to NOT uninstall other DS titles of the system.

Hey! So you're encountering the Arm11 error only when you click on DSiWare under system management settings right? And nowhere else like launching a 3DS game or 3DS system settings? Launch FBI and search under titles you should see the game title since its forwarded, and click delete game and ticket. Be careful and do not delete the titles that are in red. Reboot, go and click DSiWare in system management and see if you encounter it again.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
