would you please tell me, if i followed plailect's guide, would i need any extras to install "emunand", to be able to run cias (games)? does everything else work on the go, like gba emulators ? thank you.

p.s: ive been reading that plailect wiki for three hours today, yesterday for three or more , just to get my noobish brain around 3ds, just sold my nds lite lol, looking to buy a n3ds xl.

I agree with everyone else. It shouldn't be hard to get a 10.7 or lower 3ds if you buy new (most of them selling are even lower) and with that you can get to CFW (via 9.2 downgrade and emuNAND, or 9.2 and A9LH install) which offers far more than what Sky3ds has to offer, and it's free to set up.

You actually don't need an emunand to install CIAs after you finish the guide.

you wouldn't need to copy most games to the SD card, just use something like freeShop.

you can't play ".3ds" files out of the box, but you can convert them to CIA and install them. you can also dump your game cards directly to CIA. CIA/digital games don't need private headers for online play, unlike flash carts.
How do I directly dump my game carts directly to cia? Through decrypt9? I must know! :o

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
