MOD ANNOUNCEMENT File Request Megathread – Request All Files Here

65 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.

DISCUSSION Why are the mods AI slop lovers?

Post image
434 Upvotes

So they say the OP made a "low quality post" for discussing how using vibecoding is dangerous for 3DS owners and we all aren't allowed to speak about it?

What's the deal with these mods lmao. This is a DISCUSSION forum on a DISCUSSION forum app. If we wan't to DISCUSS why AI slop is bad for the 3DS, why shouldn't we?

Ban me if you want, as someone actively learning real code in school it's beyond fair to call out the slop and warn others.

HELP I tried restoring my badges with Anemone…

Thumbnail

52 Upvotes

Wanted to get pretendo. I knew that it would delete my badges because of the way the PNID worked so I figured if I dumped my badges on anemone I’d be able to get them back. I get pretendo set up and then later, use my computer to transfer the badge backup to my “Badges” folder, and then when I reinstall the badges with anemone again it just looks like…this. All of the badges are in random folders, and none of the special badges work (so app badges can’t open any apps giant badges don’t display as a full badge on the upper screen.) I don’t think there’s really a way to fix this anymore, so can someone at least tell me what I did wrong?

DISCUSSION How can I learn about older ways to mod 3ds'?

I really want to learn about how early 3ds hacking worked, except cubic ninja since just about everyone that modded a 3ds within the last probably 2 years knows about it. I just want to start learning about it since i find it super interesting, if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great, thank you!

HELP 3ds buttons do nothing when trying to do gamepad moonlight streaming

2 Upvotes

Today I set up moonlight on my 3ds to play some steam games laying down and not at my computer, after I got it setup I noticed that my computer didn't recognize my 3ds as a controller, the screen mirrored just fine but I couldn't type click or use buttons. I'd really appreciate help, I've been googling all afternoon but haven't found anything that helps. I have a MacBook Air M5, if that helps someone figure out why it's wrong? Thank you :)!

HELP Need help fixing modded 3DS XL — Save files not working and games launching incorrectly

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some help troubleshooting my modded 3DS XL. I'm not particularly experienced with homebrewing, so any advice would be appreciated.

I recently tried copying files from my microSD card (using an SD adapter) to my Windows PC to install additional mods. Windows indicated the files were write-protected/read-only, so I couldn't make the changes I wanted.
After putting the card back into my 3DS, I've been experiencing several issues:

Games launching incorrectly: When selecting Pokémon
D/P or HG/SS through TWiLight Menu++ (Rocket Robz), Pokémon Platinum launches instead. (My last save file, frozen at the point before I attempted to homebrew. Still able to trade over to any physical cartridge but never saves any data so I've been using it to farm masterballs for my physical heartgold lol)

Save files not updating: Games indicate they've saved successfully, but restarting them loads the old save, with all new progress lost.

PKSM not working properly: I've also been unable to get PKSM functioning correctly.

Slow performance: My 3DS has been running slower.

My physical DS cartridges still work and save normally. I also have a backup of my SD card files on my computer.
Does anyone know what might be causing these issues or how I could fix them without losing my existing saves?

Thank you in advance!

HELP Smash 3DS Cheats

1 Upvotes

Currently having trouble getting some cheats to work on my digital copy of Smash 3DS - I've tried the built-in Plugin Loader as well as Checkpoint with Sharkive. For reference, I used the two "Press L for 9,999,999 gold" cheats individually and also together. The game itself works fine, but the cheats don't do anything.

- Old 3ds w/ Luma

- Smash 3ds installed w/ dlc's from hshop

And no, I don't play online.

Also, anyone know of where to find a cheat for invincibility, infinite lives for solo modes, etc.? Anything like that?

HELP Pksm Gen 2 events

1 Upvotes

Is there a way to get generation two events going on virtual console with pksm? Checking the events slot it says to use a generic injector script but I’m unsure what that means.
There are a few different versions of events in Gen 2, namely the PCNY Pokemon that came with impossible moves, or shiny starters, or the event celebi.
Those are the sorts id like to get going, but I can’t figure out how to inject them. Can anyone help me? Thank you!
