Homebrew Software

Is there any way to modify the software or hardware to run certain files?

 

[Lacius]

What is it you're wanting to run? Whatever it is, it's probably possible if you have B9S and Luma3DS installed. If you have not already done so, follow this guide to install them:

I already have them and can you tell me if it is possible to run xci or nsp files

 

[The Catboy]

No, those are Switch game formats. The 3DS CFWs use .cia files to install the games.

 

[Pika5687]

So there is no way to do that or no converter?

No, you can't run Switch games on a 3DS. That's like asking if you can run GameCube games on a Nintendo 64.

I was just asking
Is there any way to run nds files?

There is no means of converting Nintendo Switch games to work on a 3DS. The 3DS is even remotely powerful enough to play Switch games. You need to buy a homebrew compatible Switch and hack that to use those files.

This can play DS games on your 3DS

Yes, you can play DS games either by inserting a DS cart into the console as-is, or, if you want to run ROMs, by using TwilightMenu++.

How do I download nds files to home screen using fbi?

 

[godreborn]

can't install nds cia files. twilight menu runs in the twl NAND, which wouldn't even large enough for one full ds game. you can use forwarders and a flash cart.

what do you mean the TWL nand wouldn't be big enough, my o3ds has a TWL nand with 143mb of storage, and most ds games are 32 mb, and the most i have seen is 128 mb, and with twilight menu only being a few mb it should be able to fit in the TWL nand
