You get new friends by talking to the Adventurer (the FF Red Mage-type guy who acts as a save point), in the "Save" menu. There are two options there, "Update Data" (which goes out looking on the Internet for randos to exchange Friend Summons and villagers with), and "Add Friend" should work with your 3DS friends. Make sure your buddy has you registered on their console and copy of the game, too, and has done the "Update Data" thing at least once recently, just to be safe. You have a max of 20 friends in Bravely Default, though. I could've sworn I'd posted my Friend Code previously, but digging up the post has proven to be more effort than just looking it up on my 3DS. 1264-0166-6813.

I got Pokémon Sword and Bravely for myself, and while I haven't played much of the latter for obvious reasons, it'd be cool to see people on it. I'm at 0147-1794-8806.

The home brew thread is dead so I’ll ask here, hope that’s cool. My DS Lite is long dead and I don’t want to buy a used 10+ year old system to replace it when brand new hardware isn’t that bad. If I don’t care about modern games and only want to consolidate my GBA and original two-screen Castlevania games onto one system, are there any options for a brand new 3DS?

You could always buy a refurbished 2DS off of Nintendo's official store for $50 and if you're ok with  , you can upload all of the GBA Castlevania games to it. Setting up homebrew is pretty easy these days.Nintendo's refurbished systems are pretty much brand new.

I’d only rom things I own. I’d rebuy all my old GBA and DS games if Nintendo had any new systems that played them, but Switch online probably won’t get to GBA games until like 2025.

looks like you need a flashcart or hard mod to cfw a newer firmware 2ds or 3ds. Also n3dsxl is out of production, it's probably getting pretty hard to find a new one, being superseded by the n2dsxl. been looking into getting a new 2ds xl myself as a backup system for my n3dsxl edit: actually i was reading the table wrong, you can just CFW a new in box n2dsxl, dont need a flash cart or hard mod ethanol fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jan 2, 2020 |

Rolo posted:The home brew thread is dead so I’ll ask here, hope that’s cool. Worth noting: GBA roms on the 2/3DS hardware are pretty rear end, explicitly because they aren’t emulated— there’s actually an arm7 buried in there somewhere, which means running a GBA rom - loads the entire game into memory accessible by the arm7, a 20-30 second process - shuts down the DS OS and restarts in “GBA mode” - is obviously incapable of keeping track of screen closing for sleeping because that didn’t exist on the GBA - also no savestates if you care about those in the other virtual console titles - takes another 10-15 to kick back out into the DS OS afterwards And on top of that, it’s not smart enough to say “this is the last GBA game you played” and just use it if it’s loaded already, it re-copies it every launch regardless There’s a reason the ambassador games never got broadly released even after the New models dropped. Most GBA flashcarts are a lot better about smart and fast loading nowadays too if you want consolidation on original hardware, fwiw (and I’m pretty sure some of them ship with the option of “original GBA cart size” or “DS half-cart size” for people who want them to sit flush on a ds lite)

Software emulating the GBA on the 3DS is also an option however, mGBA has an official 3DS port that works quite well. (at least it does on the n3DS, I don't know if the OG 3DS is fast enough)

tbf, actual 3ds sleep vs closing the clamshell in gba mode probably has negligible diff in battery life given how bad the 3ds sleep battery saving is

It’s not like it’s super quick to load up anything else on 3DS. It’s cool as hell to be able to play 3 generations of games natively on the same platform.

Is there a homebrewy way to make it that all DS or GBA games launch in “pixel perfect” mode automatically? Sometimes I let go of select too early or press it too late then I need to close and relaunch.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:- is obviously incapable of keeping track of screen closing for sleeping because that didn’t exist on the GBA Unless the game actually has a sleep mode. Some GBA games like Yoshi's Island actually have a sleep mode, and it actually puts the 3DS to sleep. At least one injector can also add a button combination to games that activates sleep mode, but results may vary on whether it actually works or not or breaks the game entirely. However, while opening the 3DS or flicking the 2DS sleep switch back off will automatically leave sleep mode, closing the 3DS and flipping the 2DS sleep switch on will not automatically enter sleep mode. You have to specifically go to the menu/do the button command/whatever.

Commander Keene posted:I know game compatibility isn't perfect on Twilight Menu, but it's still being actively developed and it's worked perfectly on every game I've tried playing on it. Contrast the 4-5 DS flashcarts I have that work irregularly at best (most of them seem to have connection issues or something). Yeah having missed the original ds generation, it's fantastic to have the ds library working on my 3ds now with twilightmenu. There's really very few games on the compatiblity list that dont work 100% and most of them are pretty random low popularity titles. The worst issues were Pokemon games freezing within the first 10 or so minutes. some bad rom patches and pokemon black (dsi enhanced) had to be forced to run in ds mode and it took a while to google that info but all those games are working 100% now for me, so zero reason to get a flashcart.

I love the poo poo out of my 3DS, but my Vita is way better for 2d, single screen emulation like GBA / SNES / Genesis / etc. It's nice to run stuff on real hardware though, and the DS / 3DS library is so loving vast and good that I barely have room on my SD card for GBA games anyway.

Probably, but I wouldn't hold your breath for another unfixable god-mode hardware backdoor like the RCM flaw on early Switches. The firmware itself could be attacked but Nintendo can update that on a whim so you might need to go out of your way to keep a Lite on older firmware to eventually hack it.

I still use a ton of those seals to organize my home screen. They're kinda useful and make for a nice aesthetic. Even on the New 3DS that cocksucker took so long to load. Thinking back I probably spent as much time loading it as playing it.

Badge Arcade was so intensive on the system that they had to scrap a ton of upcoming badges that they wanted to because the thing was just breaking down the system completely iirc. I spent way too much on it to get pixel stuff and characters I liked so it's for the best its out of my life.

There are alternatives - VBjin https://github.com/braindx/vbjin-ovr emulates Virtual Boy games in VR so that you get the full 3D effect. You can even sideload it onto an Oculus Quest if you don't have full desktop VR.

I don't know the first thing about programming, but it's odd that something as seemingly small as that program would be such a resource hog.
