Where are you guys getting firmware updates for 9.0 and Up???? I don't find anything pass 8.1.0-19x on the dstwo site.

cards are not blocked since 7.x, it doesn't require firmware update for 9 or up
you just use the one for 7.x (or 8.x) the card is only updated to bypass the blocks, there are no been card blocks ever since.

Don't only the ds two and r4i work after 7.x? Meaning without flashcarttimewarporwhatever.jpeg I like how Nintendo said f*** it after gateway was chugging along

there are dozens of r4i cards. only a few of them work, and i think there is one ace card that still works...
however most of the cards had beeen banned, but if it works on 7.x firmware it will work even on a N3ds

I've got a New 3DS running 9.8, and my DSTWO has just been shipped. Are the instructions in the first post of this thread still appropriate for this model and firmware version?

Thanks for the reply mashers. Might have to take the plunge and pay over the odds. Hopefully yours will ship hassle free, but let me know if you get any problems.

Hey, thanks for the guide. I'm getting the 'NO FIND SYSTEM FILES' error though. I formatted using the tool mentioned in the guide, and put all the files in the right place (here's a pic). I get the error on a DS, DSi (never updated), and 3DS (most recent firmware). I also did some research of my own, and tried things like using EOS supposedly made for Chinese cards (mine shipped from China so it was worth a shot). I also tried a few things with the firmware files at the top of the guide. Nothing has worked. Any thoughts?

Did anyone manage to get the latest firmware '20150703' to work? I downloaded the latest EOS 1.12, the upgrade file, and transferred the files to the root of my SD card. Prior to that, I upgraded my firmware to version 1.25. When I tried to select the .nds file through DS_GAME, the same "No need to update appeared". Did I miss any steps?

P.S. For that matter, after copying the EOS 1.12 files to the SD card, the help menu still showed the EOS version as '1.11'. Is that supposed to be the case?

"No need to update" appears to me too. Is that OK?

Sometimes, my system will freeze when I open the menu in some of my DSTwo Emulators (NDSGBA, CATSFC, etc). I am not sure what is causing it... Anyone have this happen to them also and or know a fix? I have tried 2 different mSD cards. Thoughts/help Greatly appreciated :)

P.S. Am on v1.25 Firmware and SC DSTwo Card version 1 I think. Also a side question, where can I get the latest usercheat.dat?

  • 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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCivnt5t50
  • 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

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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
