Because the hardware doesn't support it, that's how we know.Evo.lve said:kevtastic said:Specifically the DSTWO, i was going to get it for the 3ds, but noticed it onlt plays ds games. will it eventually be able to play 3ds games? preferably without a hardware upgrade.
Please excuse my bluntness, but...
How the hell are we supposed to know?
Reputation plays a big part in sales. So if I have a flashcart that doesn't work with the new hardware I will buy a new one, from whatever manufacturer that has something good and/or cheap out and some percentage of the people will get this new product. But if a team supports its old hardware, people who already have it will still use theirs and keep recommending it to more people, making the brand more well-known and increasing sales while keeping previous customers happy.DeMoN said:Even if it's possible, why would flash cart teams update an old product they could release a new flash cart and make a lot of money from it?
QUOTE said:i think maybe, like how gba linkers worked with nds roms
i had a supercard sd but as soon as a proper nds card (r4) came out i upgraded
Naridar said:This may be the case for most flashcarts, but don't forget the SCDS2 has on onboard CPU. Instead of just passively sending data to the unit, it might be able to fake how a real 3DS card would behave. However, this would require knowledge of 3DS ROMs data structure, something we seriously lack.
