This. You do realize ANY 3DS dev team would pay a pretty penny to get their hands on this? Not only that you wouldn't be raising red flags to nintendo for them to shut down your paypal account and condemn their property. Technically only SPECIFIC people are supposed to own that device in the world and even then its "lent" to the developers. If you are not one of those people you are "technically" stealing from nintendo and they have every right to take back what is theirs.

(If im wrong with any of this feel free to correct me)

This might help for getting 3DS homebrew, though it'd only be developer model homebrew. I don't have any software for it, so no toolchain

. It has features to import some sort of data from SD card. Not sure what it imports, though. Could be executables? Though it probably isn't. I'll be poking around more in the software later.

I am assuming it has a database of game id's that are allowed to run in 3ds mode, and all 3ds games were published after 2010 (the date of the console) and thats why they dont run. so if you could find a way to use a devkit or something to inject a game id it might execute..(i may have no idea what i am talking about)

I think these are sold to developers. So it would be a developer that would be interested in getting this back if indeed it was swiped. Right?

Topic should be locked as the item is no longer available on ebay due to the seller taking it down.

Err. Seems like someone bought it. Still. If its an auction he SHOULDN'T have taken it down with only one bid.

the "Topic" is about these units being out in the wild not being on ebay.

The "Topic" was ORIGINALLY him selling it. He has since then edited his post. Anyway lets just forget about it and talk about the things that this Dev Unit could bring to light instead of arguing.

Don't think it'll bring much to light. I don't have means of taking it apart and dumping the flash or anything. Without a legit flash cart I don't think I can run my own code. Dumping the two included programs would be LOVELY but I don't know how to. Don't think there's a way to export them to SD card.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • 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!
