By using a youtube tutorial I managed to downgrade my old 3DS XL and Install some games in my SD card. But know no matter how hard I have looked for tutorials I haven't been able to do these things I want:

1.- Where in the SD card is a game installedso if I can delete one I can do that?
2.- How do I uninstall a game?
3.- Is it possible to uninstall a game to free space in the SD card without loosing the progrees of that game if I want to reinstall it to continue playing it later? What I mean is, for example, I remember de R$ in the Nintendo DS Mirco SD made a file tht was the save and you could back it up in your computer.

Thanks for your help.

1- main data for the game is stored under the Nintendo 3DS folder, no need to delete anythign from here. Uninstalling the game via FBi would take care of that.
2- Use FBI to uninstall a game
3- Hmm I'm inclined to say yes, the save that is kept after uninstalled but I'm not sure. I'd recommend backing up the save file using JK's Save Manager before uninstalling the game https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-jks-savemanager-homebrew-cia-save-manager.413143/

You can't delete games and back up saves normally via system settings > data management. I recommend JKSM to backup saves though, but deleting games via systems settings is perfectly fine.

Im a bit worried by the fact you used a youtube tutorial, as there is a chance it was very out of date. You are running 11.2 sysnand with luma cfw correct?

And please, for your own 3DS' sake, don't ever use a YouTube tutorial again.
I used the 3ds,guide, but something in it was confusing to me, so I used a yt tutorial that followed the 3ds,guide tutorial, and brokedown into several parts of it to insure that the 3ds wouldn't brick.

Hi: Please tell me if there are any good NDS, GBA, NES, SNES and GB/GBC emulators for homebrew for the 3DS and if there is a homebrew app like moonshell is for the NDS to hear mp3 music files. Thanks.

Just look around the homebrew side of the forum I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for. For music, why not use the 3DS music player? it is not the best but it gets the job done I guess, haven't seen any other media player around... not that I've looked either.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
