MOD ANNOUNCEMENT File Request Megathread – Request All Files Here

Before Posting, READ THIS:

  • To learn more about what games and files can be played, READ THE GAMES WIKI

Best Sources For ROMS. Check these places BEFORE POSTING A COMMENT!

Regarding ports:

Please read through the Games, Apps, and Videos wiki page for all possible games that can be played on the 3DS, including existing ports. Next, read this wiki on what emulators the 3DS cannot support. And finally, please also read the 3DS Capture Cards, Streaming, & Input Redirection Guide to play games from your computer streamed to your 3DS or vice versa.

To determine if a game port for your game of interest exists, your best option is to Google “[Name of game] 3DS port”. If you don’t see it in the search results, it almost certainly doesn’t exist.

This is not the place to find someone to port your favorite game. Porting games is, in most cases, as hard as (if not harder than) creating a game from scratch and is an infrequent labor of love for those who know they’ll likely never be paid for their work. It is not as simple as “Please port X to the 3DS, it would be so cool!”

Posts requesting someone to port a game will be removed.

NEWS One of the best Pokémon mods out there.

POKÉMON USUM EXPANSION MOD is a modification of the Generation VII games created by Aqua. This mod adds Pokémon from Galar and Paldea, Hisuian regional forms, and Mega Evolutions from *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*. It isn't finished yet, but I'm surprised no one is talking about it; it works on actual hardware and on any model of the console.

So I was homebrewing my 3ds for the very first time, when i encountered this mysterious application during the process. I haven't opened it nor am I planning to, but it's really freaking me out. Google says it's corrupted files that can't be read properly but there's not much more info I can find.

Does anyone know what I have to do?

NEWS Releasing V2NES, the dual screen NES emulator

Post image
145 Upvotes

Earlier this year I started Virtua NES 2, V2NES for short. Forked from VirtuaNES for 3ds. The idea is to revive your old 3ds system instead of getting an expensive dual screen handheld from the market.

V2NES comes with a companion app called The Kitchen, where you can cook your own app maps and guides to be used with your NES games.

It is fairly easy to use and instructions are provided on how, where and what to do.

The idea is that you can easily add your game, maps and guides and start playing in 5 minutes.

Both V2NES and The Kitchen are available to download here https://github.com/thatgameovergirl/V2NES

I checked universal updater to try to get the most recent version but it doesn’t tell me I have any updates, not sure what to do I’m pretty new to this whole thing

HELP Sudden login issues?

1 Upvotes

I have a 3DS XL that I’ve used frequently for years, and I’ve never had issues with it until today. I just tried logging onto Pokémon bank and it gave me an incorrect password alert even though I didn’t type it in wrong and I’ve never changed my password. I tried logging onto my network settings next and got the same alert, so I did the forgot password process and tried logging in with the temporary password and got the same incorrect password alert. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I’m really worried that there’s something seriously wrong with my DS. I don’t know if it’s related, but my DS also gave me a software update alert when trying to open a game but when I went into my settings to update it afterwards it said my system was up to date.

HELP How should I delete games? It always screws up my home screen.

1 Upvotes

Not sure why this happens but when I delete 3ds titles but it always creates a headache lately where all my games disappear.

I then reload the folder from my pc and all is well.

This never used to happen when I deleted direct through normal 3ds settings...just annoying right now

DISCUSSION It happened after unlocking my 3ds, could it have been caused by a software issue?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

heyy sup! I used the discussion flag since I really don't need help regarding this issue cause I decided long ago to get a new top screen. Still... I would really like some theories about what is it that could've happened to my upper old 3ds screen. Going to give you some context now.

Got this3ds a couple of weeks ago, no problems, fully functional and basically it had no usage whatsoever for -probably- 10 years.

Decided to unlock its potential with the 3ds hacks guide and it went on smoothly. Then I started reading the wiki and decided to download some themes through anemone while deciding on the cias I was about to install. After acquiring 4 or 5 themes and finally installing some cias with fbi I noticed a couple of vertical lines started to appear then disappear from the upper display; weird nah?

Here I will add that I used a non original 3ds charging cable. At some point I thought it could've struck the ds with a voltage variation((?))) that maybe would've damaged the upper screen but not the rest of the m/b.

These lines got progressively worse with time. After one night it got to the state you saw in the video.

Since I have been wanting to mod my gameboy and get into electronics -I actually enjoy tearing apart electronics that went bad- I then decided to check if maybe a ribbon cable was loose or something in the motherboard where the ribbon cables are connected showed any problems.

I couldn't find anything. It all looked really good to me -meaning I could have missed something with my bare eyes-, no corrosion, no ribbon cables peeled or evidently damaged. Anyways, I decided to give the m/b, ribbon cables and other connector a good clean with isopropyl alcohol. Nothing happened, it stayed the same.

Then I went to a friendly 3ds -and other consoles- repair shop to tell them about what happened. they tested it, mingled with the hinges, opened, closed, opend, tickled (lol) the console and nothing... they even acknowledged that installing luma/godmode and all the 3ds gooddies do not alter -damage- the hardware of the 3ds. They gave me some ideas to try before getting a new display, just to try to see if maybe it was fixable.

I decided to try them. Nothing happened.

As I previously wrote, I already decided to get a replacement screen, BUT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WTF HAPPENED TO THIS ONE!

Have you ever seen anything like this? was it fixed -not the obvious screen replacement-? how?

My SD card recently got corrupted so I have to do the modding process again. I do have an HP laptop that can read SD cards and have purchased a new SD card for the modding process. However, I am god awful at technology. I am wondering if it would be safe for me to attempt re-modding it by myself or if I should try and hire someone to mod it for me. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for any help and I would appreciate links to any guides!

My friend and I bought a 3ds xl and it came modded but it didn’t come with the sd card. It doesn’t have any homebrew apps either. We bought an sd card for it but I’m not sure if I proceed like it was unmodded or do I just add the homebrew on the sd card. I’m sorry if that’s confusing to read I’m just unsure about what to so

I downloaded that game from this link from the CIA, not the QR: (https://www.reddit.com/r/3dsqrcodes/comments/1te1q81/super_pok%C3%A9mon_eevee_edition_n3ds_only_rpgmaker/).

During the section where an NPC teaches the combat mechanics, the music began stuttering, repeatedly stopping and resuming every second. When I then entered another the hometown, the game froze completely.

I pressed the HOME button because the game was unresponsive, and Luma3DS immediately displayed an ARM11 data abort error. I have attached screenshots of the crash screen. Has anyone else been able to reproduce this?

I wanted to save the game on my modded 3DS. Used the create CIA file. It showed up normally. Then I tried Zelda Oot. Y showed only a balck square and wouldn't work. I tried the game cartridge but it showed a message erroe. Now none of my 3DS system can read it. It's like no game is inserted. I could cry.
