Hi, I have a homebrew hacked 3DS on 11.6-39U and I stumbled across the sky3ds plus flash cart and I was wondering, should I be patient and wait for free-shop to be available or should I buy a sky3ds plus?

Thanks!

Why do you need to wait for free shop? If you are going pirate way just use fbi and that titlekey site

Edit: when you said homebrew hacked 3ds, do you mean cfw right? or nah?

No, I first homebrewed (is that a term?) my 3ds on 11.5 which means as of now cfw isn't really possible.

Yes it is. Buy an r4i gold 3ds rts. That lets you easily get cfw, lets you play nds roms, and is $60 less.
where can I buy one? I tried NDS-Card but it's a PAIN to pay them, you have to email them to ASK what their paypal is and hope and pray that they find out it's you and ship the item. Though I need to make sure the flash cart is real (because hacking bricks counterfeits)

Nds-card is absolutely a reliable site. You have to email them to get their paypal because paypal bans flashcart sites. However, they are completely legit, and you can trust them.

also they never sell fake cards

Do you have any other sites in mind? since it's coming from Hong Kong it might take 1 1/2 months which is kind of ridiculous.

NDS-Card has very good support. Their English is quite funny, but they get the job done, just get a R4 Gold off of them, with Paypal. Also when it comes to shipping just get Hong Kong Registered Air Shipping (With Tracking#), I know it costs an extra 3 bucks, but it is more reliable then the free option, and is way cheaper then UPS and FedEx

Pay for the express shipping if time is an issue.

I just purchased an R4i Gold 3DS RTS from NDS-Card, the order was under the name "Jacob" but the payment was under "Anthony" (my dad) but they have the same shipping address, last name, postal code etc. Would the first name change cause any issues?
Thanks!

No, it wouldn't, and if it did they would inform you. Nds-card is very good about communicating with customers about payment and shipping.

should not be an issue . . . and even if it is nds-card will still come through for you (or at least for "anthony") . . . and nds-card has a good track record for shipping errors (i have never read about one that they did not resolve)

  • 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)

    run h2testw on it

    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

    yes looks like an faulty sd

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