Homebrew Is installing DS Cias (like pokemon platinum) possible on new 3ds cfw?

[nxwing]

why did people stop doing dsiware hacking though

Not much interest and not muvh benefits overall

thing is flash cards can be hard to find

A lot of people would say no. Look around a thrift shop. Maybe you'll find a used one

thing is people made it so you can play 3ds games with no flash card why not ds

Hardware limitations. Emulating some thing isn't simple

And because the 3DS supports digital stuff natively

well it seems possbile if you patch twl firm so it can load games off the sd card and people are just messing around with dsi ware

DSi Ware is different from ACTUAL DS games. DSiWare are usally more compact in size and have different file extension names o make up for the DSi's small internal storage

And DSiWare are compiled in a way they look for files in NAND and not card.

It isn't that simple. At the very least, each single game has to be patched, which is FAR from easy and EXTREMELY time-consuming if someone would actually care.

yeah off course, you can patch twl to load games off the sd card, now how do you make the rom load it's data from the sd card ? the rom will still want to load data from a nonexistent gamecard, that's the thing it's possible yeah, but is not easy

The only way I see loading ROMs of an SD card is Nintendo releasing NDS titles on tge eShop and then injecting ROMz into it

 

[dpad_5678]

A DS emulator (DesMuMe?) port for 3DS is 100% possible. It would just be very slow. However, the 3DS doesn't play DS games by Emulating them, it loads them onto the hardware.

like an emulator does it but

any way i don't really want to play ds roms just some thing like hans or cheats

Google is your friend always. Im 16 and have a debit card.. its not difficult to buy flash card/carts, there is many online resources who sell them.

This is what my set up kinda looks like, although different SD Card.

 

[dpad_5678]

I bet OP just doesn't want to spend any money.

Anyway, here is one on eBay.

holy shit i thought you only trolled on gbatemp but here is the current (albeit overpriced) best solution

 

[cvskid]

$20 isn't that bad at all considering you can have the entire nintendo ds collection all on one cart. Looks like it even has a memory card with it.

It is on the expensive side but you have buyer protection and your information won't be stollen and/or sold when buying it from eBay.

Your profile says you're 15. That gives you three years to learn how to 'adult'. You should probably worry less about what your parents think and start exploring the wide world so you can be better prepared when the times comes and you have no choice.

Oh damn I wish the world worked like that!

Ignore me, just throwing an idea out;
I found a link to the Wood R4 kernel compiled into a single .nds file. I'm planning on trying to put it into @Apache Thunder's nds homebrew thing. Would this work?

then the wood r4 kernel will ask for the sd card... in a flashcart, so nope :/

What if this was paired with a TWL_FIRM patch that would redirect such calls to the 3ds SD card?
