For a variety of reasons I didn't play that much of the PS2 library up until about 2008 and only recently have I more or less finished my backlog of that system. Haha, I still have a PS2 backlog. I haven't even plugged it in since I moved to where I live now, which was 5 years ago. Gonna finish that backlog one day. No, really.

That's a point. I've got a 32gb micro SD card on the way. Will that suffice? I've heard mixed things about it not supporting anything bigger etc. Unless I'm an idiot who misinterprets things.

I upgraded to a 32 though because it was so cheap!

I really love the super relaxed timer, which gives you a ton of time to fully explore whatever level you're in and just collect every coin, even if it seems the only thing you get for collecting coins is a message saying "You collected coins!" I really like nsmb1 and nsmb wii, so I fully expect to like nsmb2. I'm just waiting for a sale or price drop, since I already have a lot of other 3ds games to get through.

Hey, now that it's been a few months and the hype has died down, do people still like Fantasy Life? I'm still kind of interested in getting it and it sounds like the kind of game my wife would love since she's bonkers for Harvest Moon, but chatter about that game has dropped straight to zero around here.Jim Silly-Balls posted:I really like nsmb1 and nsmb wii, so I fully expect to like nsmb2.

If you want it, now would be the time since it's one of the final Club Nintendo rewards and there are people in SA-Mart willing to buy it for you with points at deep discounts. Personally I think it's a tad boring to play single-player, but it's a lot more fun to play with a friend (not download-play though, both players need a copy of the game). You don't even really have to worry about killing each other with dick moves, because you don't lose a life unless you're both dead / bubbled at the same time.

Final Q - is it a standard USB charging slot? I know they don't include a charger in the box, just wondering whether I actually need to get one at all, or whether it's the same as, say, the cable for the WiiU Pro Controller.

What about Story of Seasons? It's coming out pretty soon, although I don't know how hyped up it is. Apparently it's the "real" Harvest Moon, even though it is no longer allowed to call itself Harvest Moon

Maybe someone can help me, because so far my 3DS -> N3DS transfer is a big failure. I followed the guide and did the system transfer, no problem. Then I copied the contents of my 3DS' SD card to a new 32GB microSD, via PC/USB. Aaaand... nothing. None of my games recognize the save data. Was it supposed to also transfer the eShop games? Because they don't show up either. What did I do wrong?

The rear end Stooge posted:There are already ten GBA games on the 3DS VC, but they're only available to people in the 3DS Ambassador program (i.e. those who bought a 3DS before the initial price drop). So GBA is definitely a thing. GBA on 3DS is a hackjob. It basically drops the 3DS into DS mode and loses a lot of functionality because of it. The games "don't meet" Nintendo's standards so they refuse to release them elsewhere.

I've heard mixed things about it not supporting anything bigger etc. Unless I'm an idiot who misinterprets things. 3DS uses SDHC cards, which are formatted as Fat32 and come in a maximum capacity of 32gb. You can also get higher capacity SDXC cards (e.g. 64gb, 128gb) which come formatted with a newer filesystem exFat. You can use an SDXC card on the 3DS fine if you format it as Fat32, though you may need to track down a program to do that for you in Windows. Physically SDHC and SDXC are the same, the capacity/filesystem thing seems to be to ensure wider compatibility with different devices. 32gb will be fine unless you're planning on having a really massive library of games digitally on the card at all times.

Once I do the system transfer, in order to upgrade my SD card can I do the ol' drag n dump to PC? I have to say that the New 3DS is reminding me so much of the upgrade from GBA to GBA-SP... it's like I can finally experience these games for the first time. I'm actually having a ton of fun with old games like Pilotwings and Ridge Racer simply because the 3D finally works and I can see the games for how they were meant to be seen. Also, playing rhythm games in 3D is blowing my mind... previously the amount of tapping prevented me from even considering playing games like Theatrhythm or Rhythm Thief in 3D, but now I wouldn't think of not playing them in 3D.

You know how with DS games on the 3DS you can still hit the Home button to bump yourself back into the 3DS menu, and you can close the 3DS to put the DS into sleep mode? The GBA Ambassador games don't do any of that.

So I'm about to pull the trigger on getting a nu3ds. Other than a larger memory card and a hori screen protector, is there anything else I should be getting? I am probably going to pick up MH4. Trying to decide on one or two other games to pick up as well. I'm in the same boat as the other goon that just picked one up, I've never played any of the DS games ever and the last time I played Zelda was back on the NES.

My point is you may have a formatting problem. I assume you still have to SD card from or files. Nintendo has a formatting tool you can get to format the microsd and then try putting data on it. If that doesn't work then ??? You can go to the eshop and try to download a game you k ow you bought to see if your licence transfered properly. You may have lost your saves if nothing works but you can redownload stuff.

Put that in N3DS, did the system transfer, said yes at the erase option. 3. Transferred the 3DS SD contents to micro SD. 4. No data! I still have the original contents on the SD card though. Was I supposed to do that save backup thing from the settings menu?

No. You sure you did the transfer? You saw pikmins for like 20 minutes? There's a point where it says to transfer the data to the new SD but it's telling you what to do after the transfer happens.

Strange it's not doing that for the digital stuff. e: also, for those that have issues with the 3D tracking, do you have Milhouse thick lenses that can set ants on fire if you held them out in the sun? Maybe the IR tracker can't "see" your eyes because of how intense your prescription is? Would astigmatism affect it? Louisgod fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Feb 20, 2015 |

If you don't have any eShop games or any save data, it sounds like you didn't copy things across correctly. Make sure that you copy the full "Nintendo 3DS" folder (or whatever it's called) from the old SD card to your PC, then copy that entire folder to the root of the microSD. There shouldn't be anything else on the microSD.

Sounds really weird. Since its letting you download games. Maybe your data got corrupted in the transfer or something. You can call nintendo, but sounds like your saves might be dead. I'd try another SD card for fun if you have one around.
