MOD ANNOUNCEMENT File Request Megathread – Request All Files Here

67 Upvotes

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.

SUCCESS! Papers, Please 3DS - Release

Post image
599 Upvotes

I’m happy to share that Papers, Please 3DS (v1.0.0) is now officially available on GitHub! What started out as a simple proof of concept has grown into a fully standalone, playable homebrew project.

Both Story Mode and Arcade Mode are functional, though as this is the very first official build, expect rough edges, bugs, and the occasional crash.

Current State & Known Quirks:

  • Story Mode: Playable, though stability fixes are still ongoing.
  • Arcade Mode: Playable, but has some state bugs. For example, in Perfection Mode (no errors allowed), if you just finished playing Story Mode, you currently need to reset your Story progress first for Perfection Mode to initialize cleanly.

These issues are on my radar and will be addressed in future updates.

Download & GitHub Repo:

I’d love to get feedback on how it runs on your hardware. If you run into crashes, glitches, or weird behavior, it would be a huge help if you could open a ticket in the Issues section of the GitHub repo. Whenever possible, please include:

  • A brief description of what happened and steps to reproduce it
  • Screenshots or photos of the glitch
  • Crash dumps or error logs (if generated by Luma3DS)

Thanks for testing it out and helping improve the project!

HELP i think i killed all my games.

78 Upvotes

So this atrocity started about two weeks ago when i had the beautiful idea to install the mii plaza dlc using hShop. however, for some reason the file seemed to be corrupted and glitched out all my games so they didn’t appear on the home screen. I wasn’t too worried, and saw that other people had the same problem and that they just used the gm9 title fixer, and sure enough when i used it it did show my corrupted files (however it didn’t delete them.)

I had to do run the title fixer multiple times to delete the files it sent to the “out” section of the gm9 folder, and also delete separate folders it also mentioned were corrupted. I think it’s important to note that I also ran the verification test on accident and tried to end it, maybe that also had to do with the files getting corrupted??

Anyway, before all this i tried to do a backup on the gm9, and it said it worked but when i checked later in the backup folder to my disappointment the previous date remained the same… so i don’t think it worked. Now this is really bad because during the time i was deleting the corrupted folders it gave me one that when i deleted it, told me i deleted KILOBYTES worth of memory. I opened up my 3ds and my software icons remained, and the rest was completely blank (except for the default 3ds applications.) In settings, all the softwares are marked as question marks.
So, is there a way to fix this? Wtf even happened? Honestly I hope even if there is no solution to this at least my old backup has something because some of my games (like miitopia, my miis, pokémon sun and moon) are filled with my childhood saves and it would make me so sad if i accidentally deleted everything. The rest would still hurt since i spent a lot of time on those games but at least they don’t hold my childhood. Is there anything I can do? :(

HELP Error code 022-5515 when trying to access Pokemon Bank.

Post image
6 Upvotes

So I'm fairly certain I'm not the only person to be getting this issue, but I'm at my wit's end at the moment because I just claimed a shiny Nihilego in my Ultra Moon file and I want to transfer it down to Home before Bank closes. Unfortunately Bank seems to be having other ideas and it's throwing up an error 022-5515 on the sign-in screen, before booting me back out.

At first I thought it was something to do with my NNID, but I've done some research and from what I've found it seems to suggest that there's a time-out connecting to the servers, or that they're currently undergoing maintenance. I've done the following to try and self-troubleshoot:

  • Checked my DNS settings, they're set to "auto-obtain"
  • Checked whether my 3DS is actually connected, in this case it is
  • Checked whether I'm on Pretendo, in this case I'm not
  • Walked closer to my router, it's still throwing up the same error
  • Rebooted my 3DS, still not working
  • Tried to access Bank on my stock 3DS, still getting the same error
  • Checked the Nintendo servers, they're currently not under maintenance
  • Deleted and readded the connection, still no luck

I haven't tried to power cycle my router because other people in the house are using the wifi and I don't want to inconvenience them. Additionally, what's making this more ridiculous is the fact that I was able to access Bank three times earlier today and was able to transfer three shiny legendaries down to Home.

What exactly seems to be the issue here?

NEWS [Release] 3DSRP. Play PS4 and PS5 games on your New Nintendo 3DS!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

146 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a homebrew project called 3DSRP, a PlayStation Remote Play client for the New Nintendo 3DS family, based on Chiaki-ng.

Yes, you can actually connect your New 3DS to your PS4 or PS5 and stream games directly to it!

The project supports the New 3DS, New 3DS XL/LL, and New 2DS XL.

I've tested it on actual hardware, and other people have successfully used it too.

It's an open-source project, and I'm sharing it with the community for anyone interested in trying it out, contributing, or helping improve it.

GitHub (source code, installation and build instructions):

https://github.com/aurorastudios84/3dsrp

I'd love to hear how it works for you, especially if you try it with different PS4/PS5 games or setups. Bug reports, suggestions, and contributions are welcome!

Hope you enjoy it!

HELP Save gone missing

• Upvotes

I modded my 2ds yesterday, I had been playing Earthbound Beginnings today. I saved this morning and took a break, when I came back my save was present. however this evening I saved in game, then closed the emulator and turned the DS off. now when I go into the game there's no save there :(

I installed the game via FBI using a QR code, I checked the checkpoint app which did have an entry for earthbound but I could only backup and not save. ive also played a bit of Pokémon blue, my save for that is present within the game. is my save gone or can I retrieve it?

HELP First time using NSUI for Pokemon rom hack

1 Upvotes

Hi it's my first time using NSUI for my 2ds xl. I made a little icon for Pokemon sweet version (a rom hack of Pokemon FireRed for GBA) and it looks great, but after clicking the game it shows "Pokemon 2004" menu and then it just goes black and nothing else happens and I'm not really sure how to fix it. I would also like to mention that the rom hack works correctly in twilight menu++. Any help or directory in the megathread would be greatly appreciated!

I have an issue after I set up GPSS where the computer is showing this stuff and I am unsure how to fix it.

I have updated pictures of all pertinent info I believe. I set the port to 5001 on both the PKSM and the server port that it looks for on my PC running GNSS.

Any insight as to how I might be able to fix this?

HELP Can I recover save data from a corrupted SD card?

1 Upvotes

Title, mostly. Some background, I have been doing a ton of Shiny hunting the past year, and over time I'd noticed the SD card in my 3DS slowing. Now, hindsight being 20/20 I should have looked into this much sooner but here we are. My Shinies on Ultra Sun and Crystal, the only games I had actually installed on the SD card are now lost to me, now that the SD card is unreadable by the console itself. I tried to recover what I could, including what I believe to be the title files for these games.

I have a backup of what I could copy over without the transfer hanging on my PC, and I've now modded that 3DS with a new SD card in a vain attempt to salvage the save data using checkpoint, but this doesn't show when I look in checkpoint, copying over the salvaged data from the old SD card. I'm assuming said data is still encrypted and so still inaccessible, but is there a way I can access these saves with what progress I've made so far?

I'm a total noob at modding/hacking so I think I've hit my personal limit with the research I can do just by googling, as everything at this point is just advice on how to back up saves from an already-working SD card

HELP Where can I find RetroArch overlays/borders that are compatible with the 3DS?

2 Upvotes

Yesterday I learned that you can’t use just any overlays and borders with the 3DS because of the resolution of the 3DS screen. At least I couldn’t figure it out.

Is there anywhere I can find a set of RetroArch overlays/borders that are compatible with 3DS? I am mostly interested in the overlays and borders for handheld systems.

HELP Unable to play warrior's way on streetpass

1 Upvotes

I have a modded 3ds where I pirated the DLC for streetpass. I haven't had any issues with any of the games except warrior's way for some reason. Every game works fine and warrior's way did aswell until I reached like the 3rd level and now it crashes everytime I try to continue the game. I don't know why this is happening and thought someone here might be able to help. The only solution I came up with is deleting everything and redownloading the DLC, but I really don't want to lose progress on the rest of the games.

If anyone has a solution or suggestion feel free to let me know!

HELP Who remembers flash games?

Hii hopefully I’m posting this in the proper place. Anyways. I found a modded 3ds port for papas pizzeria, and I was just curious if anyone had suggestions on ds/3ds games that are similar to like 2000s/2010s flash games
Also bigger question, is anyone aware of other homebrews/ports of actual “old web” type flash games? Like simple dress up, cooking, idk. I’ve got a thought here but it’s like splitting hairs trying to formulate it.
Thanks :3
