I think all those games should work, though I've only personally played AC:NL, MH3U, and NSMB2 on my 4.5 cfw. Mario & Luigi Dream Team also works and has a legit .cia and is a game I personally enjoy.

Mario & Luigi Dream Team forces an update to 5.1.
I'm talking about games which can be played outside of CFW, in sysNAND 4.2-4.5,
and even system transfered, after updating.

Ah, perhaps you know more about this than I do. In my cfw M&L: DT legit .cia does not try to force any update, but I've never tried installing to sysNAND.

using google translate to read your question, no, you cannot reflash a retail game with a different game.....i guess those fell off the back of a lorry, good luck shifting them
С чего такая уверенность? А если обнулить микросхему и записать backup через программатор? Игры обошлись в 5$ за 150 штук) Россия

you can't, the end, the games are stored on a rom chip i.e read only memory, retail games are not reprogrammable, the best you can do is change the save, that is all the dongles can do as the save chip is the only writable chip in the cart, and before you ask, no the sake chip cant store a game its like 512kb maximum.....what game is that exactly $5 for 150 copies sounds absurdly cheap (looks like cars, or planes)
Так же можно делать Backup игры и брать Id )
well that is doable, guess you should try find sky3ds users who want their own personal header

and finally gbatemp is a English writing only forum

5 $ за 150 - да, у нас их один магазин можно сказать бесплатно раздали.

I'm pretty sure you are still launching CFW by holding the L button. Stop holding the L button, it puts CFW into a buggy mode that is only good for installing cias over local network with ctrclient.

(I made the same mistake when I first installed CFW...most of the guides don't tell you to stop holding the L button when pressing DS profile)

And you can't play the .cias on your sysNAND because they are not properly signed and need to have signature checks patched out (which cfw does).

HAaaaaaaaaaaaaa why that's not explain in the tutorial ? ._.
Thanks you :) !

Hello,

May I ask for an advice, please??

I was able to send CFW to the device using the ip adress, it went fine, but when rebooting, no "present" appears :(

Do you have any idea of what I need to do, please?

Thank you!

When I try to boot in CFW, it says me "An error has occured. System will restant" instead of blue screen :(
I have already booted one time on CFW
It happened just after I did a 3D Calibration and changed language (for making difference between CFW and Sys)

Please can someone help me? :(

Thanks

That's probably the mistake, to make a difference just put a file named EMUNAND or something like that and it should be fine

Because old ctrKeyGen.exe is not working with new launcher.dat

Recreate ncchinfo.bin with ctrKeyGen.py (python 2.7) or use old launcher.dat.
I'm having this same problem ""Too many/few entries, or wrong version ncchinfo.bin" " , but ctrKeyGen.py creates a ncchinfo.bin with only 2 entries for me:

*Main.exheader.xorpad
*Main.exefs_norm.xorpad

There's not a *Main.romfs.xorpad

The old ctrKeyGen.exe is creating a ncchinfo.bin twice larger and with more entries, including romfs, can anybody point me at an old working launcher.dat to use with ctrKeyGen.exe generated ncchinfo.bin ?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
