I have no idea if this has been asked before or not, but whenever I try to run a cia VC game anymore on my Old 3ds or xl, it tells me:

"This is New 3DS software. It cannot be used on this system."

As far as I know, I'm updated on everything and it's just started happening this past week. What the heck happened?

No, I backed up a copy of Donkey Kong Country 2 from my SNES and created a cia out of it to play on my 3ds. It worked fine, seemingly, then now nothing. I'm perplexed as what's going on.

SNES vcs need new3ds consoles to run, if the other was fully made for the old console thats the one you want to keep with.

Interesting. I was scrambling around like "OMG, WHAT DID I TWEAK AND NOT REMEMBER IT?!?!" But, if it worked before, I wonder what caused it to stop working suddenly? Considering I was using both an old 3DS XL and old 3DS.

Anyways, thanks for the input. I'll just use Twilight Menu, I reckon. That does still work.

There's an SNES VC creator for the O3DS, but it's actually a wrapper for Snes9x. The actual VC is indeed N3DS only.


Understood. I don't know how it originally worked. Probably a fluke. But I'm just playing on SNES9X now after finding out wouldn't play on twilight either. Oh well.

Modding is fun!

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
