reinand user here. I feel like rxtools is lagging in terms of 'innovation' (essentially copying ideas new/old) since being handed over to cakes team. Also reinand doesnt require you to search for that keyxkey file or something before being able to use it.

Rxtools, is a pain in the ass to install/setup, since they allway change something, but is great ...
rei and cake are way better to instal/use ...

I had Rx but tried rei now because he was faster with 10.3 emunand. Well works great, doesn't occasionally freeze on booting. Lacks region free but brings back gba/ds in Emunand.

I am really confused by this...

rxtools goes to 10.3 emunan in o3DS, but only goes to 9.5 in n3DS

reinand is only n3DS and currently goes to 10.3 (right?), but i have been reading around here that some games aren't working as you need to cryptofix some of them (am i correct in this statement?)

I installed RXtools in all my o3DS, but currently my n3DS is still clean... i have a lot of original games that require firmware 9.2+ so that is the only thing keeping me from downgrading and installing CFW (has they won't run in emunand 9.5)

anyone got any tips in what i should do regarding my n3ds?

At this precise moment

N3DS - Reinand
O3DS - rxTools

Reasons:

N3DS - Reinand supports up to 10.3, rxTools is lagging behind but once that is released it's back to rxTools. Mainly due to odd things such as full region-free support without having to do anything... NTR CFW cia for cheats/language plugins working well with it. Those are my 2 things I've found to be missing from Reinand. Region free is there... but you have to use a separate cia for it.

O3DS - rxTools because it runs 10.3 already and has everything you might need with little hassle.

I use Reinand, personally. I don't see why running NTR's CIA for region free and its other features is such a big deal (do you really reboot your 3DSes that often?), but that's just me. If I need cart dumping/decryption tools I just use Decrypt9/EmunandTool9/Uncart.

  • 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

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
