Homebrew Torrent manager on N3DS

[Deleted User]

Torrents needs RAM and a not too bad CPU. 3DS is just not powerful enough, even if someone could get it working (and that's very unlikely), it would be slow as hell, you couldn't imagine.

Sorry guys, but you can forget it, it's not gonna happen.

My current laptop has 2GB of RAM and even that has issues downloading torrents, I don't see how a 3DS could do it at all.

Not unless u were to hardmod it

Well, 2GB is more than enough. Your problems are probably related to CPU/connection speed.
And it doesn't work the same way, as your OS/apps are also using RAM. The 3DS works in a different way, since it can use almost all the RAM of the device (but I'm a sysadmin, not a 3DS expert, i could be wrong on this one. That said, it doesn't change anything : 256MB RAM is just not enough ^^).

Hard modding a 3DS doesn't improve its specs...

I don't think shoving more RAM in a 3DS is possible. It's not a computer, you can't just shove better parts in it and expect it to work.

An hardmod has nothing to do. It can write information on the NAND, that's it. You're not gonna change your CPU or add more RAM with it.

Please learn the difference between software and hardware before saying whatever comes to your mind...

I mean the old downgrade for 10.5 required a hard mod so acording to your theory couldn't they put a RAM on the 3ds itself

Are you trolling?

It's not a "theory", it's a fact. And an hardmod is just a wiring between your computer and the 3DS NAND. Basically it acts as an SD card.

An hardmod WON'T improve your 3DS specs.

No I am a noob and just learning about this stuff

Soldering wires to pinouts on the motherboard is entirely different than putting more RAM into something.

It's not an impossible task, though it would be an extremely difficult one.

Look into stuff first then..if it hasn't been done yet, there very well might be a valid reason as to why.

I have but I only know the main parts of a computer not the 3ds

 

[narukyuubito]

it reminds me of an old rotten speech that n3ds could not emulate the psx's made a bad CPU / RAM and some technical limitation but with time here we have retroarch with some good games turning a 60fps

what access does retreat have have on the system again

 

[Arseface_TM]

qBittorrent runs on my computer, seeding 2 torrents, leeching 2 torrents using only 36 MB of memory and 5% of my super shitty processor.

I'm fairly certain the 3DS has the hardware for a torrent client.

The only real bottleneck is the wifi chip, and I'm fine with slow speeds as I'd primarily use it for small files or overnight downloads.

Arseface_TM, I love you

The 3DS (new or old) is more than capable of running a bittorrent client. As long as someone is willing to code one.
