What about a direct download pach in the 3ds browser
Idea 2
arcive viewer and extractor for .zip .7z .rar and .garc and .narc

Idea 1 COULD be possible, but way to much work for a simple homebrew and patching things stored in NAND (stock apps) can end up in bricks, so not worth it. To download stuff, you can go with MultiDownload++ though if you know the link to the file. For idea 2, I think there already is one for .zip and same for .garc and .narc (both of which have absolutely no reason to be opened on the 3DS btw).

You CAN download select files (eg: certain pictures), so it IS possible, just would take reprogramming a large chunk of code.

what about a browser alternative like a homebrew internet browser?

That would be a nice idea and since it's a homebrew (meaning it runs as a game instead of along with a game), it can even be extended-memory and end up really strong. But again, not worth the sheer amount of work it will take. Also, why use the 3DS for browsing? Even a terrible phone can do more:P

1) A GBA loader (similar to twloader, but it loads a GBA ROM into AGB_FIRM and executes it. This will save space on the SD card instead of installing each as a CIA, and will run faster than on mGBA)
2) A media player, except it works similar to webman on the PS3 (you choose a video, and then it opens it in a browser window)

It would be nice if there was a homebrew app that allowed you to modify your 3DS user profile in System Settings, specifically the country because you would be able to change your region setting to countries usually inaccessible through the menu (i.e. Country set to Mexico on an EUR console)

There is actually a way to change your console’s region, but probably not your exact country. Regardless, most CFWs have region free support anyways

It's been done recently, said that in an earlier post too. You can inject the DS bios as an NDS forwarder and use it just fine, pictochat and everything.

I didn’t know you could do that. I’m gonna download it and see what happens.

I know, it's the NDS OS basically. Can't find the thread about it though, think it was like a month ago, but can't remember the name of the thread or where it was posted... I thought I bookmarked it but apparently I don't have it:/

It's alright, just heads up that sharing such files is against the rules, so make sure to read those just in case...

PS: This is my 2000th post!:toot::grog:

  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
