I'm hacking that Hylian Shield New 2DS XL, and I'd like to add some badges that work as applications like a badge for the eShop, Settings, Miis, etc.

was super helpful in getting a bunch of 'legit' versions of badges that aren't like the custom ones. Granted it's missing badges and it's missing the app ones, so I'm curious if anyone has any knowledge on getting my hands these. And if I can't, well that sucks but I'd like to try.

If you really want the ones that are for launching apps thats out there. You are best to check the arcade game every day. wait till the day is there that those app badges are available. Spend some actual money to get them. and move on.

True, you are correct that I could do that, but it's not that important to me that I do that. I'm just hacking this 2DS for funsies so was just curious if there's people out there that figured out a method of hacking for them.

ive seen the odd one for replacing ones you got. But not for adding new ons right to your collection.

from what I remember when first looking into how badges, when thy first came out, you can make any badge act as a shortcut.
for example, you can make a 'normal' bade act as an eshop shortcut badge.
but I could not make it so that I can open whatever app I want.
so it wasn't possible to make a badge open pokemon sun. -- but maybe people have done work on this and now it is possible?

That sounds pretty sick,
Oooh so I already have this program cause of this person's other thread, but I didn't know there was this other thread that goes into different details. I'll give this a look I appreciate it.

  • 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
  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
