Nintendo customer service:

A unified account system will be implemented later this year with the launch of the Wii U. Eventually this same account system will be made compatible with Nintendo 3DS systems.

About freaking time, yep I'm definitely going digital on 3DS now.

The "eventually" part worries me. I love Nintendo, but when they fail to set dates for things, they really take forever.

I don't understand why this news item causes the decision for you to buy eshop games ?

Maybe
1) You didn't need your old system (rather lost or sold) to transfer or save you games
2) Games are more future proof
3) Possibility of playing smaller games on more than one Nintendo system
4) Possible Club Nintendo integration

I AM THROWING MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

Anyways, with that out of my system, I think I may get a Wii U now. Makes me wonder if they'll integrate this in the Wii, although that doesn't sound too realistic.

surprised you missed an obvious one, that virtual console games could be shared between your 3ds and Wii U, seeing as Nes titles are slowly cropping up on the e-shop. Would be a great idea, likeliness of happening is a debate for another day

You think this will allow me to eventually transfer titles downloaded from an EU system, to a US system?

Not if region lock still holds. Other words, if the transferring of games between 3ds' of other regions doesn't work, expect the account to be region locked as well.

of course you can't. you can't play games coded for Mac OS on Windows, can you? same goes for this. until they make a 3DS version of that game, no you can't.

While I didn't know if it is possible or not,I didn't know why,but this argument doesn't seem quite valid.

seeing as I think the region lock on the 3DS is more to do with the eshop than anything else, no, i doubt you will be able to transfer from EU to US

  • 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
  • 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)

    run h2testw on it

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd
