I have been in the scene for awhile now, but not once I have seen anyone ever use the infared sensors in their homebrew application. Is this because we haven't figured out infared. or simply because nobody cares about infared. The main thing I would like to see infared to do is to be able to transfer/receive any file. How I can imagine this can be done is maybe modifying a circle pad pro/ old 3ds ambiio reader to have a usb out, so you can transfer files quickly and easily. Not sure about the speed, but it would be sick to just pop your 3ds into a modified circle pad pro and plug it into your computer. Please tell me if I if my idea is super impracical or impossible, I'm ok to any response :)

I had doubts about the circle pad pro too, but an external amiibo reader should maybe work, but I would imagine a much more practical is to use a pc infared sensor

Honestly i couldn't think of any uses for an infrared sensor on something like a 3ds that at least I would use, but if you have a practical use for one, go right ahead.

If it's possible to modify GB/GBC using the 3DS's infra-red next to a GBC's infra-red, that would be interesting. :P

hmm, I don't know much about the gbc, but possible gameyob to gbc pokemon trading:D. Probably not, trade emulation is extermly hard for emulators to emulate, and I doubt the 3ds is fast enough to keep up with the gbc (multiplayer emulation is horribly slow)

I forgot to say I was on about save editing. Whoops.

save editing seems improbable, but you never know. If there is already a way to edit saves via ir, then this can probably happen. If there isn't a way, very little chance that this will happen.

anything is really possible at this point, I mean, we have a fliping ds emulator on 3ds and 100% boot rate cfw

    @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)

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
