I'm wondering what's the minimum required files for menuhax, ctrbootmanager, rxtools and emunand?
Ive about 18 items in the root that I'm unsure are critical.
Like starterGen folder, emunand9.bin, dat, nds. launcher.dat.
screenshots_raw.bin and webkithax_tmp.bin, etc.

CTRBootmanager requires a boot.3dsx file, and boot_config. Menuhax should have some payload file. RxTools requires the rxtools folder and everything inside it.

You need these, alongside any of the default folders for your 3DS.

Forgot to say, everything regarding emunand is located in the Nintendo 3DS folder, which you should never remove (Even on a stock console).

I understand the boot manager needing the config and boot.3dsx, but what about all those emunand items in the root? still needed after its been setup?
screenshots_raw.bin and webkithax_tmp.bin are browserhax related i believe, safe to remove?

There aren't any emunand items in the root of your SD card. If you're referring to files from Emunand9, those are for that application alone, whose purpose is to setup you emunand (And then have absolutely nothing to do with it). The starter file was just an archive that was extracted to give you some things (Reinand, FBI, etc) to use after your SD card got wiped during emunand creation.

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol

    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
