Homebrew [WIP] DDLC-3DS

[Takeshi666]

are you a fan of doki doki literature club? Then you would love this port.

created by reddit user u/LukeeGD.

"Hello everyone! I have been making this DDLC port for some time now. I actually started this as a fun joke, and with barely any programming experience at all, but I continued it anyway, and now here it is!

You can only play this version up to the end of Act 1. Also, there may be bugs, errors, and/or crashes that you may encounter.

If you have a 3DS with CFW or access to the homebrew launcher, you will be able to play this port. You can download it here: https://github.com/LukeZGD/DDLC-3DS/releases

I'm planning on continuing to work on this until it is fully playable to the end of the game..." -u/LukeeGD."

and for people worrying about the file manipulation:
"Actually there's a menu implemented in-game where you can manage the files to progress the story and/or trigger events. It will be accessible in all acts."

I'm pretty happy about it too! I hear good things about this game, never played though.

 

[GoldenBullet]

I haven't gotten to play the game yet so I might just wait to play on my 3ds.

 

[LukeeGD]

I guess I should post updates here.
This one is just a minor update release before I work on Act 2.

v0.1.2 Changes:

• Poem font fixed
• Some script errors fixed
• Slightly better audio looping
• Other minor changes and improvements

Hey, I think this is a loooong necroshot, but...

LukeGD, if you're reading this, I installed the latest version of this port on my 3DS via CIA, luma is updated, and I can't load my games. Whenever I go on load game, it goes back to the beginning of the game. What can I too?

Can confirm saves are also broken for me as well. Updating to 1.1.9 doesn't work, and the splash screen at startup just says it's 1.1.8.2 again, even with a fresh install. The fact that the game crashes during text skipping or just scrolling too fast combined with the lack of saves/loading means you basically have to play the whole thing in one sitting very slowly and it makes it hard to play at all. Saw something on github about "DDLC-LOVE will no longer be updated." Does that mean this project's just dead?

I am also experiencing the same issue.

I got this for my little brother on his Old 2DS and he's reporting that when he closes the game and logs back on, all his saves are deleted. Are there any fixes for this or will I have to homebrew a second DS just for DDLC and have him never close the game? That does seem a bit extreme but he's understandably upset. He got to the first Sayori CG and figured that's a good stopping point. He comes back in, saves are gone.

DDLC love 3ds isn't saving how to fix it?

DDLC love 3ds isn't saving how to fix it?

I JUST FOUND A SOLUTION, so iwas searching online but dudn't find anything until i saw a reddit thread that said to use the .3dsx and when i checked universal updater i had it, so when i tried booting it up there i didnt need to input my name and when i tried to load my save file IT WORKED.

Universal-DB, the normal one has it. It's listed as DDLC-LOVE. Either I'm blind or you have to search for it to show up. The .3dsx version from Universal Updater worked for me, launch it from the Homebrew Launcher, it should be on the first page of your SD card, just scroll down.

 

[Smile_Child]

sorry for not responding to what the people were asking, i forgot* the page existed, as Dat-Boi said the universal updater you get when jailbreaking your 3ds with luma has the ddlc love app, i updated it on there and then opened it through the homebrew launcher, doing this let me save and load the game. again sorry for the late reply .

I'm sorry if this is a stupid reason to bump this thread, but I'm frustrated and I want to vent.

The same issue happened to me. Twice! I played the game, for a short while, long enough to warrant a save but before any of the "weird" stuff starts happening. The game crashes, in a genuine sense, and upon opening the game back up, my saves are nil. Ah, well. I try again.

This time, I mistakeningly believe saves are working fine. (They work in-game, just not once the game is closed. I didn't know.) I play the game for a decent while, up until well after Sayori's certain scene, and right before Yuri's certain scene. (For lack of better phrasing; I'm don't know the proper formatting for spoiler tags here and frankly, my blood sugar is low and that's making me a little stupid lol.) Once again, the game crashes. Whether this was a genuine crash, or an intentional DDLC crash, my 3DS had to be shut down and upon re-entering the game, my saves appeared to be all gone.

By the posts above, it appears there is a fix to this. I'll check it out tomorrow. I'm just annoyed that my time spent playing today was all for nothing! Not that it's anyone's fault, aside from maybe my own. I understand this is still an unofficial, fanmade WIP port. (It's fantastic, otherwise, though!) I just wanted to shout into the wind so that I could feel I at least did _something._

Luckily, even if I somehow can't fix this tomorrow, I do have the game's official release on Switch. (I don't have a PC. I hack my 3DS via a telephone wooo, what a future!) But still, man. Lmao. Oops.

Thanks.
