hi :P I'm new here, and tired, so I'm sorry if I've messed something up! I recently bought a copy of My Secret World for the DS from a second hand store. It's a diary game aimed at tween girls, I enjoyed the idea of using this random game as my actual journal so I bought it. When I opened it on my 3DS, there was an existing save file (last opened 26 December 2013), but I couldn't access it because I didn't know the 4 digit PIN or the security question. I tried a bunch of super common PINs (like 0000, 1234, 9876 etc) but no luck. I erased the file (my new diary is going strong, it's actually a fun little game), but before I did I saved a backup with Checkpoint of the original save. I'm curious if there's a way of getting around that lock, without just straight up brute forcing? Is there anything I could use to look into this more? Honestly I'm most interested in the process (if it can be done) than the actual diary.

Help on 3DS prices...

Hello, I like handhelds and Pokemon so I am of course looking for a Nintendo console I can buy. Naturally I had gotten the latest console back in 2018 but my experience was less than stellar because of a plethora of reasons(stick drift, patched console, bad pokemon games!!). Lately though I've kind of fallen in love with the 3DS, It just looks so cool and innovative and had a great game library too not even mentioning the modding community. It being an extremely old console I'd expected for it to be cheap but Its like 300 bucks. I can kinda see why, its a great console and I guess something happened for it to be relevant again. But I want to get this console nevertheless so I wanted a bit of advice on what to do. Should I buy it now since the prices will continue to rise or is this just a trend and shoul I wait for the prices to lower again? Many thanks.

[WIP] Spoti3DS – Native Spotify Connect Client for 3DS | GBAtemp.net

So, after 15 years, the 3DS is finally getting a native Spotify client.
Over the past few months Ive been working on a Spotify Connect client for the Nintendo 3DS family.
The goal is to allow a 3DS to appear as a Spotify Connect device and stream music directly from Spotifys infrastructure.

Current progress:

Login5 authentication
Access token generation
Spotify Connect device registration
Dealer/WebSocket communication (via TLS 1.3)
Audio stream retrieval from Spotify CDN
Audio decoding and playback

Still to do:

Getting the thing to not crash every minute or so
Cover art ofc
Actual Playback controls
Having the 3DS present a valid Connect instance that doesnt confuse the Desktop Client

Not coming:

Free Account Support (this here basically requires a Premium Account)
Lossless
Background Playback (we are struggling as is)
Downloading tracks (not because its impossible, but because I havent yet looked into how that works/would work or how it would clash with Spotify ToS)

The project runs on real hardware (standalone, no proxies involved) and can successfully authenticate with Spotify, appear as a Connect target and retrieve audio streams.
There is still work to do before a public release, but I wanted to share the current progress.

And yeah the client actually uses TLS 1.3 to open the WebSocket with Spotify Dealer. I dont know if that has ever been done on that hardware before.
