Homebrew [Release] 3DSBank - "Nintendo 3DS" folder selector

[geoGolem]

Here an update (including source for the github) that allows custom naming of folders. Also as a quality of life upgrade, the currently active folder is selected on startup.

The custom names can be defined in 3DSBank/3DSBank.ini like so:
[3DSBANK]
SLOT_NAME_0 = Favorites
SLOT_NAME_1 = More Fav.
SLOT_NAME_2 = Homebrew Games
etc....

Cheers!

Super awesome work! thanks!

I added a comment and link to your post here: https://github.com/RocketRobz/3DSBank/issues/1

Maybe you could open a PR on GITHUB and work with @Robz8 to get it merged into the official release at some point?

EDIT: It looks like its already being done - yay!

I've updated the source with the new changes.

Thanks @DrStraightface & @Robz8 !!! I just updated and it is working great!

@Robz8: Maybe you want to put the CIA under the releases on the github as well: https://github.com/RocketRobz/3DSBank/releases

not sure but just thought I would suggest since I am guessing that is probably how most folks download/install..

Many thanks for this much needed update.

To be perfect, it's missing the ability to rename folders from the 3ds, without resorting to a pc.

You can use GodMode9 to edit text/config files, afaik.

I'm currently having a problem that's related to either 3DSBank or Forwarder, so I'll post here first.

I installed the updated 3DSBank and created a 3rd Menu for Forwarded NDS titles.
After installed over 100 into this new Menu, I realised some were overlapping older titles, so I wanted to uninstall the Forwarder CIAs.

Edit:
I found out that the Forwarded CIAs install as DSiWare, so I guess my problem is there.

Will this ban me from Nintendo Network?

Yeah but if I play an online game in a different folder. will Nintendo notice? Do you get a new friend code or use the same one?

Your not reformatting the 3ds at all

So it's safe to play online when using this?

Hi, I am obviously a fan of Twilight Menu++. Since there was a recent unexpected firmware update, many people are going to be deleting their pending updates by clearing out the "Pending Titles" folder. I read somewhere that clearing this folder might cause conflicts if you have titles installed on a different SD card. Should I tread carefully with this, if I want to use 3DSbank?

Yes.

I see no reason why this would cause issues.

Loving this tool so far but is there a way to manually move games and savedata to the new folder, without having to uninstall the game outright? I’m trying to have a folder for VC games and mainline games but I don’t want to have to spend hours downloading all the games again.

We'd need a way to figure out which game to move though.

Thank you for sharing this info, I was about to start installing 1003 NDS forwarders/cias into four 3DSBank folders and 397 DSIWare cias into two 3DSBank folders but now learning that they install as DSiWare, I guess it's a Nono. What a bummer! I was really looking forward to this.

Of course TWLNAND is small, but it wouldn't take much to move less than 150MB to the SD card

I thought the TWLNAND was actually very very very very very small? Unless I'm wrong? You can't just move the installed DSiWare games off of the NAND to the SD and back..

..i may be wrong don't yell at me lol

Mmm-hmm. The games that use online services cannot detect whether or not you changed your 3DS folder --Hmm, even using Nintendo online services like eShop, Web Browser, etc. can't detect you using a different folder. It just can't. (For now..!)

When starting 3DSBank, it renames the "Nintendo 3DS" folder
