r/3dshomebrew

Really considering getting a homebrew 3ds..

Am I better off buying a 3ds second hand from a second hand shop (guts of like £300 for one) or eBay? Also best advice and way to go about doing one homebrew?

Haven’t done all my research into homebrew, but I assume I can get any game on it from the 3ds era?

Where’s the “fix cartridge corruption” option?

Hopefully, this will be the final part of these posts. So I finally got to GodMode9, I did the first verification, and it failed, and I'm trying to find the “fix cartridge option”, but it's nowhere to be found. Does anyone know what has happened? Thanks

How do I delete cartridge data using the checkpoint app?

This is the second part to my previous post. I want to delete the data from my Puzzles & Dragons Z cartridge since it could be corrupted. Can someone give me the rundown how this process works? Thanks.

TIL the 2DS XL has the 3DS XL 800x240 screen, but no 3D capabilities

I was curious about using the 800×240 mode to improve the manga side of my 3dslibris homebrew, so I tested HoriHD-Gallery to check whether the New 2DS XL actually had the same screen behavior... and indeed, it does.

I felt like sharing this because it is not explicitly documented in the homebrew itself, and I only found it after digging through Reddit comments.

Large MicroSD cards

Hello Everyone, recently homebrewed my 3ds because I wanted to replay Pokémon Y and I had lost the cartridge, but now I’ve started playing lot of different games, and my 8GB MicroSD card isn’t cutting it anymore, I want to replace it with a 128GB card but when I try to get it to work it won’t recognise the games I transferred over from the other card, the old card still has all my apps and stuff on it so they haven’t disappeared but they don’t seem to work when they’re on the new card, it’s formatted as FAT32 and I’ve tried 32KB and 64KB clusters, neither work, any advice?

Huge Nintendo DS / 3DS Flashcart Collection Found – DSTWO, Sky3DS+, Acekard, M3 & More

Picked up a huge Nintendo DS / 3DS flashcart & homebrew collection a while ago and finally started sorting through it.
Collection includes things like:
3x SuperCard DSTWO

Sky3DS & Sky3DS+

Acekard 2i

M3 Real / M3 Zero

multiple R4 / R4i / R4 Gold variants

Action Replay DS

DS Lite rumble packs

PowerSaves adapters

various multicarts

original Nintendo cables/accessories

tons of microSD cards/readers/adapters

Most carts still have microSD cards inside.
A lot of the stuff seems to come from different eras of the DS homebrew scene (early PassMe/SuperKey era up to 3DS flashcarts).
I honestly didn’t realize how deep this rabbit hole goes until I started researching DSTWO, Acekard, old R4 revisions etc.
A few questions for people who know this scene better:
Which carts here are considered the rarest/most desirable today?

Is it better to sell DSTWOs individually or as a bundle?

Are there specific R4 revisions collectors look for?

Is there still a market for complete “ready to use” setups with microSD cards/readers?

Would love to hear opinions from longtime DS homebrew collectors.

I made a screen capture software for all 3/2DS!

Have you ever been in this situation? You want to play your 3DS on the couch but the screen is too small and your 3DS is the old one which doesn’t support software streaming and you also want to use your Xbox controller to play it. So I did what every normal person would do… I spent a few months making a neat little app with Python and Computer Vision to fix it so here’s the demo: https://youtu.be/JJdh65vjgiM?si=ovsIN2D5UkJSUUX9

Satella Zone not showing up on HOME Menu??

Hi,

I installed the local HQ EUR version of Satellla Zone and it didn't show up on the HOME menu. So I went onto Download Play and got off to see if it was just the HOME menu acting up again. That didn't work so I installed it again and the same result again. I would appreciate some assistance.

Would it ever be possible to play RPG Maker XP games on 3ds or is it impossible?

I know RPG Maker 2000 (or whatever it's called) is playable on 3ds via the QR codes sub but a lot of fan games run on XP and I'm not really familiar with RPG Maker as a whole so I'm sorry. Just wondering if any of the fan games of pokemon and other stuff would be playable on 3ds unless it was like a demake in Gen 3 or 4 engine of pokemon or some other RPG game the system can handle that's decompiled

Trouble exporting game as .CIA with makerom

Hey guys, I am working on making homebrew software and am nearly finished. The .3dsx file works fine when running it thru the homebrew app on my 3DS. I am now trying to export it as a .CIA so it can be a standalone app on the home screen. When I build the .CIA and load it thru FBI it appears on the homescreen fine with the correct title, icon, banner, etc... But when I try to open it I get the

"An error occured (ErrDisp)

The SD Card was removed

Press any button to reboot."

error everytime. This is the only app it happens for. So is this something to do with my makerom, rsf file, or something else?

SD card corrupted after using it in my 3DS

My 64GB Verbatim micro-sd card (that i used with an adapter to full sized SD) corrupted after using it in my 3DS. It's not completely gone, as all the files show up when i put the card into my pc, but i can't format it, can't take files off of it, or put files on it. I've tried the basic things such as trying on a different computer, trying a different SD crad, and trying a different adapter, but nothing has workd. I'm probably gonna buy a new one anyway but just wondering if theres any way to save the card. I'm prepared to take it apart if I have to. Just to clear things up, when i put the card into my pc, i get an error saying theres something wrong with the disk and it needs to be scanned. I also Don't care about the files on the card as i have a backup of my files, I just want to get the card itself working again.
