Homebrew Can Flipnote Studio be emulated?

[Valery0p]

FWIW Flipnote Lenny was demonstrated on No$GBA, with all the options working properly, so the emulator shouldn't be the problem...

By the way, if you have a 3DS it will be easier to install it here, or use the newer iteration...

Sadly no time for detailed testing… I’m about to leave and… this is gonna be a hard day.

Anyway, just a little testing:
Loading the v1.4.1 NAND of my DSiXL console in No$gba where Flipnote Studio is preinstalled gave the following:

• Flipnote Studio → An error has occurred.
• Unlaunch installed → Flipnote Studio starts without error and I can doodle (don’t know what this app normally does – isn’t this just for installing CFW on 3DS?)
• Unlaunch uninstalled →Flipnote Studio start without error. WHAT?!

Result: Flipnote Studio (Europe) does start in the emulator. Not tested much more.

Further testing with SDNAND and TWiLight Menu++ later.

• Do not cut corners. If your NAND dump does not already have the app installed you will probably have to do the complete procedure of setting up an SDNAND for installing it there.
• Loading Flipnote Studio as virtual cartridge will most likely fail (and definitely not allow saving). There was some reason why the Japanese version is used for exploiting DSi and 3DS consoles and I think it had to do with the other versions not even starting without their save.

can i install it like this?

Yes, this should work – at least it did for me. For whatever reason I had to disable Windows Defender because it went nuts and slowed down the installation inside the emulator so badly. There is no need to install it as a System App. (Your screenshot says "System Title Patch… Done")

Does Flipnote Studio show up in your SDNAND now? I could not see any obvious errors when booting the app.

no

no

Ahh sh..
And you are a 100% sure that you boot to SDNAND after installing Flipnote Studio? It should also show up in unlaunch along with all other titles on SD.

Other than that: No idea. It worked for me without any further configuration.

You're 5 months late. He possibly already solved his issue.

Why are you looking for a bin, exactly? It is also against the rules to post the bin here.
You'd be better off following this guide to run TWiLight Menu++, so that you can launch a .nds file of Flipnote.

Who, exactly? In the last couple of years or so, I do not recall anyone asking for a .bin file of Flipnote Studio.
