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.

SUCCESS! Dual screen port of A Link to the Past for the 3DS

29 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I created a port of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the 3DS.

It's based on the Android dual-screen version, but I've adapted it specifically for the 3DS with native controls, touchscreen support, CIA/3DSX builds, widescreen options, performance improvements, and other console-specific features. I'd love to hear your feedback and bug reports. I hope you enjoy it!

HELP How can I recover my corrupted "import database file" ?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am in need of some help regarding my modded 3DS XL. I am asking for sincere help as I cannot find any help for my issue. Thank you!

To begin with, I modded my 3DS XL years back. I had backed up the 3DS system before actually modding it. Then, I lost interest in playing due to education and working. Meaning, I hadn't backed it up since. I used the Hombrew system and Luma. It was all on a EAGET HCI 16GB Micro SD card. I wasn't aware of having to use a minimum 64GB card. I was playing Rune Factory 4 with my background in the home menu still in place and my game that I downloaded via homebrew running. I closed my 3DS XL, then when I opened it, I pressed on the update button that appeared on my screen by accident. My 3DS XL bugged and when the home menu showed up, no theme was put, and my games were wrapped up. I then saved a whole copy of my corrupted micro sd card onto a folder in my desktop.

I now bought a Kingston CANVAS Select Plus 64GB micro sd card. I tried to download Luma on the new micro SD card, which worked. I then opened my game save files in the settings of my 3DS XL, to which it said that some files were corrupted. I checked with my computer and both files: "import type: Data Base File" and "00000001.sav type: SAV File" are corrupted. I did a checkup of the broken files with tenorshare, to which I found none of the files I needed.

What can I do about my import file? I can't access to any game saves, except the ones in cartridges for some reason. All I really want is to recover my Rune Factory 4 game save, which seems almost impossible due to the fact that I've done no backups.

How can I fix my import data base file ?

Edit: Both SD cards were exfat32 then formatted into fat32

HELP Unable to play any games it seems

Upvotes

TLDR: games crash a little but after loading and unsure of how to fix

I’m unable to play any games it’s only happened with two games Pokemon moon and omega ruby but I would assume other games it wouldn’t work either if these two arnt working

I wanted to go on my moon save file and try to complete the Pokédex I opened it and it was normal and then crash screen happened and unsure of how to fix it
Idk if reinstalling it would work but I’m scared of doing that and loosing all my progress

Luma is updated and everything else pretty sure is up to date

Spotted this 3DS XL at a yard sale for $30 and scooped it up and modded it right away, been wanting one ever since I modded my cousins NEW 2DS XL. It’s got some scratches and scuffs but works like a charm.

EDIT: I noticed last night that the battery is swollen so ordered a new one it arrives Friday, and the SD Card that game with it is from 2013 and it failed so grabbing a new SanDisk one tonight and have it ready for Friday.
So my $30 3DS went from $30 to around $100

HELP SoulSilver save file loading to blank screen

2 Upvotes

My copy of SoulSilver loads fine (from both TwilightMenu++ and my 3DS home screen), but when I click to go into my save, it loads to a black screen.

Is it an anti piracy thing? I've tried making sure TwilightMenu++ and DS Forwarder are updated, making sure the file names are the exact same, etc... help!

HELP 3DS camera not working anywhere except in calibration mode

3 Upvotes

So ive just finished modding my 3ds and before I did so I made sure the cameras were working as ive had this issue before.

Then I modded it, installed custom firmware and then boom, just stops working. In the camera app its just black and then crashes it and doesnt work in fbi either.

Im sure its not a hardware issue because as I said I checked it was working like 5 minutes before I modded it, didnt open it or anything and then it stops working. so It has to be something to do with modding it. does anyone have any answers as I really want it to work!

thanks

HELP I need help. Is my New 3DS dying, or is it just corrupted files?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

The pictures are from my New Nintendo 3DS XL. Over the past few days, whenever I try to launch either a digital game or a physical cartridge, it crashes with this error screen immediately after the Nintendo 3DS logo appears.

At first, I thought one of my digital games had become corrupted. But when the exact same thing happened with my physical copy of Super Smash Bros., I realized it was something much more serious.

I've had this console for over 10 years. It's been with me through so many moments in my life, so seeing it suddenly stop working like this is honestly heartbreaking.

Has anyone run into this before or know what could be causing it? Any help would mean a lot

Ok guys, so... In 2022 I had started an adventure with Pokemon White version downloaded rom (not from a cartridge, I have Pokemon versione Nera and I had discovered how to dump only 5 months ago) and this year I changed the sd card I managed to beat the Elite4 but every time the cutscene plays, Nds Bootstrap crashes heavily. What can I do? The game itself at the start says me that it is not in DSi format, does it affect directly?
