I just want to know if there is any way I can play Pokemon Prism 0.94 on any emulator on the 3DS (besides VC). I’ve tried GameYob, mGBA, and Gamebatte with no luck.

GameYob: A bunch of small horizontal lines, nothing else.
mGBA: “Load Failed!”
GameBatte: Shows “Nintendo” and freezes.


I don’t really like the virtual console because it’s lack of features and lower audio quality. Some of the Pokemon cries and other sounds are quite noticeably worse on the VC and it stops me from really enjoying the experience. I just need an emulator that works with 0.94 and isn’t virtual console.

I meant are you using the gameyob 3dsx or CIA? Either way, try the retroarch Gambatte core.

I’m using the CIA version of GameYob from TitleDB. I also tried Gamebatte already and the result was “Nintendo” and a freeze. Though I find it weird that on the VC it didn’t say Nintendo...

Try the 3dsx builds of both. Also that's very odd, it works fine for me. If all else fails, try deleting and redownloading everything in the retroarch folder. Also you can use gameyob on ds with an older version of nds bootstrap or a flashcart, which I heard was near perfect.

What version of the DS version should I get? Also, does the bootstrap even perform well? I heard TWLoader was a huge WIP or something.

Nds bootstrap works near perfectly for nds Homebrew. I would use this build: https://github.com/ahezard/nds-bootstrap/releases/download/V0.1.0/bootstrap.nds as it says it has dldi Homebrew support. The only issue is you would only be able to use twloader for Homebrew and not retail roms. If that isn't ok, try using this version of the Homebrew menu that has nds bootstrap built in, and it looks like to be an older version as well. https://github.com/ahezard/nds-hb-menu/releases/download/V0.5.0-cia-ntr-beta.6/hbmenu_beta6.zip. also here's the link to gameyob on ds. https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/emulators/download-gameyob-0-5-1-f33577.html

WOW I just found out what was actually causing the problem. I opened up some files that I transferred because I couldn’t use them and I found that every single byte was set to 0. On my computer the data was intact. So my computer messes up the data when transferring to the SD card directly. I do have an emunand on my sd card and that could be what’s messing it up. What would be a good wireless file transfer method and how would I set it up? (I’m using Linux Mint so MicroSD Management is not an option)

  • 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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCivnt5t50
  • 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
     +1
  • 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
