So I downloaded several CIA games today, one of them being Minecraft. It installed fine, showed up on the home menu fine, but crashes my system immediately upon launch. Any clue what could be wrong? All the other games I downloaded work without issue

Are you using a old or new console for minecraft? The game already runs like shit on any console. Would probably wreck the old consoles.

Note that recent games require a 'Seed' (it is a sort of token that updates the title database) before being able to run (they either get stuck in the title screen or cause an exception error which forces a restart.) Luckily, FBI can easily fetch these 'Seeds'.
'Seeds' are the one thing that prevents offline-only installation of games.

Enable the Internet connection, and within FBI navigate to Titles » [game] » Import Seed.

Hey everyone, I'm just getting back into the 3ds scene. Modded it a while ago with b9s and just learned today about freeshop, etc. So do all the new games require a seed? I've seen other sites that say you should download the seed separately on pc and put it on the SD card in the fbi/seed folder and import that way.

Will downloading the seed through fbi directly put me in danger of a ban?

Thanks!

Games released starting from firmware version 9.6.0 and newer require a seed. Check this comprehensive list for titles known to need one (may not be completely up-to-date as new games get released):

Importing Seed with FBI is safe.

However, if you prefer other methods:

just ran into this same issue w/ minecraft crashing & throwing an error on launch. I tired the import seed move in FBI but that also gives me an error saying it failed to import seed.

is this because I changed my region & can no longer use the eshop?

thanks

    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
  • 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
