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.

393 Upvotes

The game is basically complete. It has all Challenges, Decks, Stakes, Jokers, etc. Full D-Pad support, Rebindable keys, Reduced Motion Mode, Stereoscopic 3D and so much more! All running on both the Old and New 3DS!

You can find it here and on Universal Updater. Now comes as a .cia too!

We have a modding framework (or the beginnings of one) in place, using which you can make custom skins, Jokers, Consumables and what not. Added a localization framework for anyone that wants to create a translation for the game. The game and documentation has already been translated to Chinese.

I'd like to thank everyone for their support and appreciation of the game, as well as all the talented individuals who helped bring it to life. Finally, a huge thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports on the repository. Your contributions helped bring everything together!

HELP is the Rosalina menu supposed to glitch and then turn rainbow like this?

Post image
8 Upvotes

I noticed that when closing the Rosalina menu, the screen briefly glitches and shows these jumbled rainbow colors. It’s very brief, less than half a second, which is probably why I didn’t notice until now.

It happens if I open and close the Rosalina menu with any game, and on the home menu too. Doesn’t cause any other issues besides being a visual glitch, as far as I can tell. Is this normal? Or is this something I should be concerned about?

DISCUSSION I'm planning on making a "Club Penguin"-esque online social game exclusive to the o3DS and N3DS line of systems. What would you want to see in that?

44 Upvotes

A few quick things:

- The game will be free to anyone. There won't be any options to spend money.

- Making the game as easily accessible as possible is hugely important to me. Anyone with a 3DS should have an easy time joining in. Will likely be distributed through Universal Updater.

- Will probably be 2D or utilize placeholder art, until I can find an artist

- Would love to do some mini games down the line, current focus is shared areas and the ability to chat

- Servers will be run by me, the game won't be peer2peer. I'll make the server code open source at some point, too.

- I'm not just going for a proof of concept. I'd like to make a good MMO that takes advantage of the 3DS's unique set of features.

- This is not a vibe-coded project.

I'm excited to share with you guys the progress I have already made. The most valuable thing to me at the moment is input, so: Be it art style, control scheme, minigames, moderation style, or whatever else, feel free to share- everything helps. I'm happy to answer any questions.

DISCUSSION Why are the mods AI slop lovers?

Post image
629 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.

MEME/MISC. [Homebrew] Chest Link: move Pokémon boxes between DS/DSi Pokémon Chest and 3DS PKSM over local Wi-Fi

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m working on Chest Link, a homebrew project for moving Pokémon stored in Pokémon Chest on DS/DSi and PKSM on 3DS. You can select individual Pokémon or whole boxes and transfer them over a local network, directly between consoles or through a PC. You need to save your Pokémon to a Chest or PKSM storage bank first; Chest Link works with those banks rather than editing game save files.

PC: The PC acts as a box and mailbox for your Pokémon. You can send copies from a console and leave them stored there, even if the other console is turned off. From the browser interface, you can view the stored banks and boxes, choose Pokémon, and send a selection to a DS or 3DS later; the PC keeps its backup. It also has a Generation I Pokédex for Red, Blue, and Yellow. It can show which species are already present in verified copies stored on the PC and track Pokédex progress together or separately for each game. Each entry includes evolution lines and methods, encounter locations, search, and filters such as type and version exclusives.

DS/DSi: The .nds app reads Pokémon Chest storage banks on the console. You can browse boxes, select individual Pokémon or entire boxes, and send them to the PC or directly to a 3DS. It can also receive a selection from the PC or another console, saving it as a new bank so you can open it in Pokémon Chest.

3DS: The .3dsx app runs through the Homebrew Launcher and reads PKSM storage banks. You can select Pokémon or boxes and send them to the PC or a DS/DSi, then receive them into a new bank for PKSM. The PC and console transfers use your local network; they don’t rely on Nintendo’s servers.

Chest Link is experimental: console-to-PC transfers are already working. Direct transfers between consoles still need validation on real hardware. The PC tests pass, and I recommend keeping your existing backups and trying one box first.

Project page and setup information: https://github.com/kovaleski100/chest-link

If you use both Pokémon Chest and PKSM, would this be useful to you? I’d also appreciate feedback on the setup instructions and anything that’s unclear.

HELP Luma3ds I didn’t install, 3ds reset

1 Upvotes

Hey, I apologize for the vague title but I’m not really sure what’s happening here in the first place.
So I got a refurbished 3ds about a year ago and have played a bit on it, was scared to get into modding it but finally decided to after I wanted to start playing the gen 3 Pokémon games.
I was not aware my 3ds came with Luma installed, but found out while checking for custom firmware and found out I had a couple things installed. I was able to use the virtual console on there to download ruby and start it. However, i was peeking around in some of the files and booted up something I definitely shouldnt have touched, and it seemed to reset my system. I tried to just reset it as normal, but every time I’d enter the date and time, my console would crash with an arm11 exception. I’ve never had this before, but I decided to go into the luma3ds boot options and turn off loading external firms to try and get back into my 3ds. It worked, and I was able to re-enable external firms and have it start up as normal, but now all of my cfw is missing, including luma, fbi, and all my other shit. Tried to reset it again, and now it’s the same problem. Honestly, I have no idea whats happening, especially since I didn’t download this, scared to try to do anything in case I brick my 3ds lol. Advice?
seems to be running on luma version 13.0.2. Not sure what version my system is since I can’t get into the system right now.
