could i have some help troubleshooting? doesn't show up on my N3DSXL (Luma CFW) either.
formatted a 8GB microSD card as fat32 on kubuntu, and extracted DSTWO_PLUS_v1.14_eng.zip.
i dont know what other information i can really give, but i'd be happy to give it lol

the only thing i can think of what's going on is that maybe the firmware is bricked. if it is, could it possibly be recovered using nds-bootstrap's recovery tools (which i have on my n3dsxl)?

When you say "nds-bootstrap recovery tools" I have absolutely no idea what you're referring to. You can however try launching the unbricking tool from nds-bootstrap if you really have no other flashcard. Here's a little guide I adapted a while ago.
Code: 
1. Put dstwo_load_NDSL.nds on an alternative flashcarts Slot 1 SD.
2. Extract DSTWO_v1.14_2015_0722_eng.zip and Firmware_v1.25_eng.zip on the DSTWO's Slot 1 SD root.
3. Launch dstwo_load_NDSL.nds, you may need an original DS/L.
4. Insert your DSTWO without it's SD card (Important!)
5. Insert the SD card containing the firmware without removing your DSTWO.
6. Press B, it should begin flashing the update.
Here's the link to the unbricker tool: http://down.supercard.sc/download/dstwo/tools/dstwo_load_NDSL.nds
And the last firmware: http://down.supercard.sc/download/dstwo/Firmware/Firmware_v1.25_eng.zip
You probably already have EOS on your SD card, but in the case you don't; it's required: http://down.supercard.sc/download/dstwo/DSTWO_v1.14_2015_0722_eng.zip

    @SylverReZ, I dislike the kind of drm where you have to play single player games online all the time bc of some verification bs

    @Xdqwerty, Don't use games that have Easy Anti-Cheat as its been exploited many times.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    @SylverReZ, i think they have been doing that since late 2000s

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
