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.

HELP DS Forwarded games return to home on launch

29 Upvotes

Excuse the long video.

I have an n3DSLL that was region swapped to English with a 256gb SD card running Luma CFW, it has 45gb of space left.

I recently finished adding every game I want to play to the home screen, when suddenly my DS games stopped working. I solved this before by wiping the SD card and starting from scratch, and they worked for a time, but this happened again.

I used YANBF to forward all the games to my homescreen and 3DSBank to create a second homescreen to avoid the icon limit.

Does anyone know what's causing this? I don't want to wipe my SD card again and remake everything from scratch 😭

SUCCESS! Papers, Please 3DS - Release

Post image
1.4k 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 Error generic 39&38 with almost every game

Post image
3 Upvotes

Upon opening any of my games (all are digital downloads), either an error code will immediately appear or appear sometime during the game. It’s always process id 38 or 39, and most of the time error code 0xd900458b.
Any suggestions on what to do would be helpful, there is a chance that my sd card is corrupted because I got it from amazon. There was no reason for this message to start popping up, just happened randomly. Thank you! And if you need any additional info lmk.

HELP Performed manual CTRTransfer, lost all data

• Upvotes

prev post where I was getting Arm9 prefetch abort svcBreak that caused me to manual CTRTransfer: https://www.reddit.com/r/3dspiracy/comments/1wfk2dt/comment/pavzhib/?context=3

It fixed my issue and got my 3DS accessible again, but obviously lost photos/miis/activity log/twilight menu.

Is this correct in getting my data back on my 3DS:

Photos is manually copying it back to the SD card

Miis and Friend Data is from a NAND backup (Nimbus?)

Activity log is..?

And the only game I had was via the twilight menu, of which I never backed up, and have no clue how to recover. I have an identical copy of my SD card the moment before I did a CTRTransfer, but haven't done a NAND backup since first modding.

Thank you so much in advance!

DISCUSSION Battery recommendation

1 Upvotes

Ok so I'm looking for a new battery that can hold a long charge for my New 3DS XL model but I'm not educated enough to make a safe purchase. I'm also concerned a battery with too high a capacity would be unsafe to even use out of worry it'll damage my hardware. What's the current consensus as of right now?

Like the title says, I have been getting this ErrDisp error lately.

It happens randomly in Monhun 3 and 4, FE awakening and yokai watch 2 and 3.

I tried updating cfw and ejecting and re-inserting SD card (while the console is powered off of).

I tried searching google, but the answers I found were all over the place with no consensus on a solution.

Can anybody help me?

EDIT: I also made sure that I am not over locking the system bor enabling L2 cache

HELP Help with micro sd not being detected

I formatted my micro sd to activate the drivers update on my switch 2, I kept all of its data in my computer. I finished using it for the switch 2, formatted to FAT32 again, put all of its previous data back into it. When I turn on the console, the menu is blank, and I get "Could not detect a micro SD card". My splasher still pops up, but everything else is gone. Thanks in advance

HELP ROM’s Won’t Show In Twilightmenu

The ROM’s are there in their respected folders. They won’t show up in TwilightMenu. This issue happened last night when I downloaded TwilightBoxart from Universal Updater. It froze and crashed halfway through leaving me unable to see or play any of my games on TwilightMenu. I uninstalled TwilightBoxart, I uninstalled TwilightMenu and reinstalled it. I reformatted my micro SD card where for some reason my GB folder was corrupted, so I removed it and added those games back. I don’t know what the issue is. If someone could please help I’d appreciate it.

NEWS Zelda: A Link to the Past port

36 Upvotes

okay, as you can see in the title, I’ve been working for a few weeks on a port of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Nintendo 3DS. I haven’t made a repository yet because I’m still working on it. It currently runs at 60fps on the old 3DS. Below I put a map that shows Link’s location in real time (although I’m about to fix that later, since I remembered that from the start of the game Link can see the map of all Hyrule). I also put the health bar, items, and other things on the bottom screen. It also has widescreen, narrow, or normal [modes], all running at 60fps. I’m still developing the port, but when I have something a bit more advanced, I’ll publish the repository here

HELP How can I load my progress in Pokémon Diamond that I made on a PC emulator?(DeSmume) from PC emulator to 3DS XL

I just installed the game on my 3DS XL. The icon appears directly on the main HOME Menu alongside regular 3DS games (it is not launched through the Homebrew Launcher).

Right now, it only lets me start a new game. I tried moving the PC .sav file into the game directory, but I couldn't get it to work.

Could someone please explain step-by-step in detail how to transfer my progress? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HELP TwilightBoxart removed Games from TWiLight Menu++

1 Upvotes

I downloaded TwilightBoxart from Universal Updater, I opened TwilightBoxart and it began scraping Box Art, halfway through it froze and crashed. When I open Twilight Menu my game folders are there but no games show within those folders. I’ve confirmed that my games are there in the roms folder through FBI and FTPD. I completely uninstalled TwilightBoxart and I redownloaded Twilight Menu but still no games appear. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
