Hello, I recently started to work on developing for 3ds and was wondering. Is there anyway to make a 3ds not only think its a dev_system. but actually be able to use dev_commands such as opening up nulled eshop's to test if it works. without replacing the actual apps.

You need an actual dev unit for that kind of things plus to be signed the SDK. Panda/Snake unit, I'm not sure which is O3DS/N3DS

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

If the bootrom was dumped from a dev unit maybe that could provide more keys:ph34r:

I know Luma3DS has a mode that tricks the system to think its a devunit. and i already have a signed sdk. i know the most id miss out is debugging my programs over usb. i was wondering if say a dev eShop and a retail eShop have the same titleID or something like that

Panda/Snake unit, I'm not sure which is O3DS/N3DS
Is it okay to talk about which dev_units are available? thats not against any rules right?

i wouldnt know how.

I don't know if the Dev eShop and retail one have any differences, over than signing apps and things to it.

Not that I know of? Nor would I think so.

Well, the bootrom is on its way soon with details, but I doubt it'll be from a Dev unit. You can install A9LH on a Dev unit, so I don't see why not

dev eshop is essentially a nulled out eshop it serves no real purpose other than testing.
===CTR===
CTR Nintendo 3DS
SPR Nintendo 3DS XL
FTR Nintendo 2DS

===PANDA===
SNAKE New Nintendo 3DS
CLOSER New Nintendo 3DS X

but the least costly one is $325 so yea .-. and this one doesnt even have video output over the system.

Awesome so a Jap. New 3DS LL ive always wanted to get a New 3DS cause those ones have those cool cover plates.
Well mine is an XL.I got it because there was no pearl white XL unit available yet so I jumped for an out of region one. With cias and other workarounds, there was no reason not to. I eventually even changed the region to US.

    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!
  • 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
