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.

HELP Struggling with twlight++

Every time I try and download Twilight++, whether from Universal Updater or FBI, I get the same error. It keeps downloading as DSiWare, which I find extremely strange. Any ideas on what to do?

I have the required files (nds, BOOTS NDS, twlight.whatever it was, and roms) so I'm not sure what's holding me back. Edit to ask if someone can explain it like I'm an idiot bc I'm new to this stuff

(Only included the top screen bc ik someone will ask)

HELP After updating to Luma3DS V13.4, my 3DS shuts off when I put a game in rest mode and then open my 3DS

1 Upvotes

Not sure if slight water damage may be causing this, but ever since I updated to V13.4, my 3DS will turn off by itself when I put a game in rest mode and then open up my 3DS. For example, I'm playing a game, everything is fine, I close my 3DS, then when I reopen it, the whole 3DS shuts off. What should I do?

DISCUSSION GB/GBC emulator: Better off installing RetroArch and using the cores there, or are there standalone versions that are generally recommended?

0 Upvotes

I want to inject or run native for GBA and up, but unsure what the accurate/recommended way to go for earlier games is.

I know injection is also an option, but given that all the other systems I plan to use my 3DS for run natively on the hardware, I prefer highest accuracy for software emulation, and I’m not sure how the VC/injection method stacks up to the emulators.

HELP at what point is this console modded in?

Post image
38 Upvotes

guy im buying this 2ds off vinted clearly shows he has a modded console, i never modded a 3ds because mine broke before i began modding the consoles i had but i know that FBI app & the others are mod stuff.

im just wondering, how far did this guy get to modding this console to the point he has this installed? ive been looking but i cannot tell and rather somebody could explain more easily. also wondering what the white flag & FTPD apps are for.

also he is selling a 4GB card alongside it. are these apps installed in the system, or the sd card? shouldnt be any big deal if i remove the sd card he surely will put inside the console to switch out for a bigger one, yes?

im pretty cautious when it comes to these so please lend me a hand LOL, sorry and thanks in advance

HELP PKHeX legality check question

7 Upvotes

10 years ago in my youth, I foolishly made the mistake of hacking the 5IV shiny prize Pokemon I self hatched, because I got Biblically greedy and wanted it to have 0 Attack IVs to be truly perfect. In the present day, I’ve rectified that mistake and raised it’s Attack IV to what I think I remember it being before.

But my question is, does passing PKHeX’s legality check completely cover my bases? I want to be sure I didn’t toggle some data value by mistake while figuring out how to use PKSM and PKHeX. Could I bring a mon that passes the legality check to tournaments?

Thank you.

HELP Failing to inject GBA save

1 Upvotes

I've edited my pokemon emerald save using PKHeX to activate some flags so I could play the mystery gift events. It worked perfectly in the emulator I have in my pc, but every time I try to inject it back into my 3ds using gm9 it just says "savedata injecting failed" or something like that. I've injected other saves before and they all worked just fine. Does this have anything to do with the editing I made in the save with PKHeX?

HELP Transferring save data from 3DS to New 3DS incl. Twilight Menu saves?

0 Upvotes

Hi all!! I'm sure this has been asked before and I've been combing through old posts but the situations there are all very unique to themselves so I wanted to ask to make sure.

I hacked my old 3DS a few months ago and so far I have mainly been playing Zelda OoT and some DS games via Twilight Menu. My new 3DS just arrived and I'd like to make that my main console now.

As far as I understand, I'd have to mod the new 3DS as usual and THEN transfer the data. But what would be the safest way of doing that? I don't want to transfer all the data, just from some games. Other games I'd like to start anew.

After modding the new 3DS, do I download the games first and then transfer the save data?

The old 3DS had a 64 GB SD card, the new 3DS is going to get a 128 GB one, if that matters at all.

Ahh Idk I'm a bit confused about it all and I don't want to corrupt any data. So sorry if this is redundant. Thank you so much for the help.

So basically I transferred my mii from a 2ds to a 3ds and it automatically factory reset both of my modded consoles. I’ve already reinstalled the nand files from my backup and I got the main apps back like homebrew and fbi etc on my main menu. However the games aren’t showing on the menu and I’ve checked my sd card all the game data is still there. I then went into the data management on my device and all the games are crossed out. How do I fix this? Someone please help me
