Will DS/DSi flash carts work on the 3DS?

[n8vosburgh]

I'm just going to pick up a new flash cart that works on the 3DS when one comes out. I have 2 DSes and have 2 flash carts for them they sit in the systems all the time anyway so might as well pick up a new one when it comes out. I don't think it will take long after the 3DS comes out in japan for there to be a working flash cart. What do you think? and I bet there might be a flash cart for the NGP (PSP2) sooner or later too!

 

[NostalgicMillennial]

you think Nintendo would let one slip under the radar?

They probably made some "changes" to make it not work with the Cyclo iEvolution just lately

No way. We are very close to the 3DS release date in Japan (February 26) and the Cyclo iEvolution's bootstrap for Japan... is not yet released ( and it is only possible to switch to DSi mode if your region matches the region of the bootstrap currently installed).

SO.

Japan might work.

USA definitely won't work.

as the USA iEvo is available now

... we need a bootstrap at least

I will try to test the SCDS2 on an 3ds tomorrow.

As the iEvo seems to use a lot of the orignial (Word Games?) ROM, it might not be patched just yet,.

SCDS2 doesn't work

SCDS2 doesn't work

oh, so no need to test it. mh, but I was already sure it would block it.

How would you be able to test it, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[ManFranceGermany]

Your all wrong. I know Nintendo good enough that they will block all of them, WITH ALL OF THEM I mean every flashcard! No exceptions; even if you think 'that' flashcard is the best. Nintendo WON´T spare it.

I doubt the flashcarts will work without an update.
The Supercard team did say that "even though the 3DS will feature new anti-piracy protection mechanisms, the possibilities offered by the SCDSTWO's embedded CPU will allow them to find a workaround quickly".
--
Theoretically, we should be able to run DS flashcarts on the 3DS by pretending to be a legit game card.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Its funny how people still believe this "propaganda" of an CPU to bypass any real time protection. This is all about the firmware and the internal design. The CPU might help to update the Flashcard without the need of an external device, at its powered with the DS, thats it.
Emulating a DS Card *lol, I know you didn't mean this in any way, but I remember SC Team saying it

I think nintendo did about all they could do to detect regular ds flashcards since the security in those cards is very limited so I think dsi flashcards will easily work on the 3ds for ds games only

I don't mind

A good friend is working for a very known European VG producer and distributor.
They got the device since some month and I begged him to show it to me, finally I will meet him tomorrow in the lobby and he promised to not look for some seconds

 

[ecko]

i bet that none of the flashcarts will work.
maybe scds2 or ievolution with an update, but even then i have my doubts.
same way when there were new flashcarts needed with the release of the dsi

DAMN. I really wish I still worked at Gamestop...

I hate not having a job.

I hope that you like the 3DS, though. and congrats on having connections.

 

[JackSakamoto]

I think only DSi-mode compatible flashcarts will works .

I don't think that its for them such a big deal, as 2 weeks ago his father was able to check it too.
I hope he knows where all the observation camera are, if not, I will not try my flashcard, no need to get in trouble for this things.

Thanks

I will be able to test one game and the rest, as far as he told me, will be some kind of test code(???).
But yea, I'm prepared to be impressed

That and optimistic.

I won't be surprised or bothered if any DSi flashcarts don't work (Which i think are the only ones that could work given the embedded CPU). Since I had to sell my DSi I was just gonna fix this broken lite thats been collected dust and just use that.

But I will admit I am quite interested in the outcome of this...I've been waiting patiently on this news.

 

[RoMee]

I don't really care if a current flash cart work on the 3DS
even if one of my current flash cart works on the 3DS, I doubt I'll use it in my 3DS..my dsi xl works just fine
I want a flash cart that can run 3DS games..so the question is, who will be the first to make a 3DS flash cart??
