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

[DeMoN]

It is very simple to prove it is fake

Spoiler

Watch the date !

... not to mention the blatant pasting if you zoom...

Not mentioning it's been established already that DS games don't stretch out to fit the entire top screen.

Actually the biggest giveaway is the girl in the picture.

Oh, and if there was a flash cart that will work on the 3DS right off the bat, it will be the iEvo. Not because it's the only DSi-mode enabled flash cart, but it was the only one that came out after 3DS production was finished so Nintendo would have had no time to block it from working.

Either way, what really matters is if the flash cart can be upgraded to work on the 3DS via a firmware update.

When the dsi was in production, everybody thought that the R4DS will be 100% compatible with the dsi since it was the most popular. BTW 3ds games will all be almost 1gb so I can only put 32 games on the flashcart +homebrew so they better make a 64gb sd card NOW.

3ds games will all be almost 1gb

The max capacity of 3DS carts is 8GB. 2GB at launch.
Most games will (probably) be OVER 1GB, not under, so I don't know how you expect to fit 32 games on a 32GB MicroSD card.

Where did even get that info?

If you have to pirate, I think anything less 5 3DS games should be enough. 64gb sd card

3DS games will be as big as the combined size of the code, audio, textures and video, like any other game. Angry Birds isn't magically going to become a gig just because it's on the 3DS.

Come on, angry birds would probably be a download like it is on PSP.

I think there's a chance that Nintendo would have to be careful on the level of security they implement in to the DS mode. If the Supercard team has the ability to completely replicate a retail release game then it would be impossible for Nintendo to block them without risking incompatibility issues with actual retail games. The 3DS mode is more likely what they have spent their tireless efforts protecting. The last thing they want to do is beef up security so much for the previous flash carts that they end up causing instability for retail games. IF a card like supercard can completely replicate any individual title then Nintendo is hooped. They would have to start blocking ACTUAL games. In that case Nintendo would shoot themselves in the foot. Look for Nintendo to reserve the majority of their resources for 3DS mode. Who knows? Behind closed doors maybe they wouldn't mind if last gen cards worked on their 3DS for DS games. They KNOW they would sell far more of them out the gate yet still be confident to tell their developers that NEW gen 3DS games are well protected. It could secretly be a win/win for them.

here's idea why don't you just buy the game instead that way it's guaranteed to work.

How 'bout people just want them to work for homebrew? Never thought of that?

A little off topic, but talking about homebrew:

I lately tried the newest version of the Virtual Boy emulator and apparently it already supports Parallax Barrier 3D.

 

[SpaceJump]

Don't Carts like SCDS2 and AK2i behave like a retail cart so that they should at least work in DS-Mode?

Yes but its gonna be exactly like how the R4DS acted when inserted into a DSi.

With the near release of the Nintendo 3DS, we should soon be in a position to answer the following questions:

• Will regular Nintendo DS (DSi-compatible) flash carts work on the 3DS?
• Will the CycloDS iEvolution, only DSi flashcart unlocking DSi mode features, be compatible with the 3DS?
• Will we ever see full fledged 3DS flashcarts?

As soon as we can provide answers to any of the above questions, we will immediately inform our readers here at GBAtemp. We have already established that, unsurprisingly, old DS-only flash carts (e.g. Acekard 2.1, CycloDS Evolution, R4 DS...) that were not DSi compatible, aren't 3DS compatible either.
Stay tuned for more news in the coming days!

I can answer these 3 questions as...
1. No.
2. No.
3. I hope not.

Ninty will be running a completely different OS on the 3DS and will therefore not be susceptible to any bugs/holes we have encountered thus far. You can guarantee they've made sure to block all the currently available DS/i flashcarts.

As for the 3rd question: I want a system firmware hole if anything. Would mean I don't have to buy anything and I'm a cheap-ass. Besides 2GB of system memory and an SD card slot. I want a Homebrew Channel.

Sony will be running a completely different OS on the 3DS and will therefore not be susceptible to any bugs/holes we have encountered thus far. You can guarantee they've made sure to block all the currently available DS/i flashcarts.

Last time I checked, Nintendo made the 3DS, not Sony.

Plus it will hardly be completely different. It still has to be able to play DS games. My bet is that DSi flashcards will eventually will be allowed to run, but the bootstraps will be completely illegal.

Lol WUT?

I didn't know Sony was behind the 3DS.

Also, don't know if we know for sure until it is tested...

 

[Jamstruth]

Brain not working... Its fixed now. Gotten to used to commenting on Sony's exploits lately. Ninty are much smarter.
Anyway

Plus it will hardly be completely different. It still has to be able to play DS games. My bet is that DSi flashcards will eventually will be allowed to run, but the bootstraps will be completely illegal.

It will be loaded into a special DSi Mode and from there to DS mode I'd imagine. This will be fortified on the 3DS OS end with a load of extra checks.

 

[EJames2100]

Really ?

Source ?

 

[mysticwaterfall]

Please... Don`t hack the 3DS yet.

will be a terrible situation for the releases of best games.

Please, do it but 3 years later.

Because you know, the widespread piracy on the DS, GBA, and Wii have stopped the "best games" from coming out there.

 

[SS4]

Ill be getting a 3DS when the 1st or 2nd update version of it is out (3DSi XL or something i want bigger screens

).

So by that time im not worried that it will have been hacked and there will either be some new flashcart or firmware mod available so im not worried at all. I still havent finished all my good PS2, PC, and DS games so ill be busy before i move to the next gen lol.

For the 3DS,i just want a DS flashcard ...

 

[shanefromoz]

I will only buy a 3ds if they have a flashcard for it.
Stuff making Nintendo richer.

 

[Scott-105]

Meh, even if flashcarts don't work, I don't really care. I think the games will be really big, and annoying to download. Also, I feel bad for pirating so much, so I'll think I'll go legit this time around.
