Hello everyone, This is my first post on GBAtemp, so if there is anything I could improve about my thread, please let me know. I'm having an issue with my Old 3DS where Homebrew now takes over a minute to load, they used to load in about 3–5 seconds. In addition, System Settings and all of my DS Roms/Twilight Menu++ no longer load at all (unless they somehow take more than 20 minutes). I might be wrong but, I don't think this is an SD card issue. I tested both my new 128 GB SD card and my old 8 GB SD card, and the problem is exactly the same on both. System Settings also fails to load even when I remove the SD card completely. I'll try to provide as much information as possible, even if some of it ends up not being relevant. So My new SanDisk 128 GB SD card arrived, so I formatted it from exFAT to FAT32 using a formatting tool. After that, I made a backup of my old SD card on my computer and copied all of the files to the new SD card. When I inserted the new SD card into my 3DS, I immediately noticed that Homebrew took much longer to load, and System Settings, TWiLight Menu++, and my DS ROMs would no longer start. At first I assumed I had made a mistake while Formattimg the new SD card. However, when I switched back to my original SD card, the exact same problem remained. I also tested booting without an SD card, and System Settings still would not load. I found another thread on GBAtemp describing a very similar issue. Following the advice there, I previously used the NVRAM/CRC16 repair, which completely fixed the problem For the Thread Creator. However, when i tried the same,Homebrew became so slow that,the NVRAM tool can not finish loading, or maybe its something else but thats what I assume. At this point I'm not sure whether the long loading times and the System Settings issue are related, but I'm out of ideas. Since its been very long with modding my 3ds Thank you very much to anyone who takes the time to read this. I'm currently on my flight home, so I may not be able to reply immediately, but I'll respond as soon as I can. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Best Wishes!

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 3DS Port

Hi everyone! I have ported snesrev's ALTTP C reimplementation (or rather the updated fork from xander-haj called Z3R) to the 3ds. It's probably more accurate to say that I have updated an existing outdated port from wikiblog0/JeffRuLz, but regardless, its now possible to play ALTTP natively on 3ds. The port runs fine on n3ds and is untested on o3ds, however runs quite poorly with n3ds features disabled so I'd say its unlikely to perform well - though if SDL2 gets hardware rendering support that may change in a future update. Screenshots: (Only top screen is utilised at the moment) Install: qr for cia file - hosted on github releases Either install the cia file with fbi (qr above) or download the 3dsx file from releases and put in the 3ds/zelda3 directory on your 3ds. Then you need a zelda3_assets.dat file placed in the 3ds/zelda3 directory on your 3ds, along with a zelda.ini file in the same directory. zelda3_assets.dat can be extracted from a rom of the game as described in the readme of the github repo.

Hi, for some time now I'm translating my 3ds to Polish, I have some issues with banners in "L4A4 (Grayscale)" format COMMON.PNG files, Ohana and Ohana Rebirth don't support them, and I can't translate some system titles banners, but I almost found a solution:
I started with "Health and Safety Information" banner1.bcmdl (129KB) normally I get this:

But I found a other banner1.bcmdl (129KB) "Mii Maker" that had the same scale, but only COMMON1 file inside in "RGBA4444" format so I did this:

in photoshop, and Imported into "Mii Maker" COMMON1:

made and installed a "Health and Safety Information PL.cia" file and it worked:

But when a tried to do the same with "Nintendo 3DS Camera" banner1.bcmdl (97KB), I got this:

So I'm asking anyone for help.
What I need is a banner1.bcmdl (97KB) with COMMON1(512x128) and COMMON2(512x128) files inside in "RGBA4444" or any other format, except "L4A4 (Grayscale)" inside. I tried to find it my self but, all I found in all my installed cias was only with COMMON1 file, or files in different names, and more then 2 inside, and the scale was to small. So please if someone has a banner1.bcmdl like that please help me and share in with me in PM, or give me a link to a banner editor that supports banner1.bcmdl files with more then one texture inside, and supports "L4A4 (Grayscale)" format.
Thanks in advance.
I did it so if someone is trying to find banner1.bcmdl file that I asked for then you still can share it in PW, it may come in handy, but here is what I did:
I made those two files in photoshop (COMMON1.png and COMMON2.png)

COMMON1.png is in "L4A4 (Grayscale)" format so I Imported into "Mii Maker" banner1.bcmdl COMMON1, then replaced it with the one in"Nintendo 3DS Camera", and COMMON2.png to COMMON2 in banner0.bcmdl file of "Nintendo 3DS Camera":

and that did the trick, behold:

After searching and failing to find the right banner1.bcmdl file I had an affinity, looking at my first attempt above, I've notice that only COMMON1 was translated and COMMON2 wasn't found in banner1.bcmdl so it loaded COMMON2 from Japanese default COMMON2 in banner0.bcmdl, so I figerd if I can replace the default COMMON2 with my translation, it will combine into one Polish banner, and I was right

Its been 2 years, and like always the solution was simple, but I still would like to have a link to a banner editor that supports banner1.bcmdl files with more then one texture inside, and supports "L4A4 (Grayscale)" format. So please if someone has it then post it here, and I hope I could help someone with my solution to, bye.
