Is there anyway to get my Supercard DSTWO to sleep properly in my DS lite? If I close the Lite, the power light flashes with the speakers making a noise at well like a few times a second. If I turn up the volume it becomes clear its a fragment of game music, but not even turning it all the way down kills the sound completely.

Be Depressive posted:I wouldn't really use sleep with the Supercard anyway - it still draws about the same amount of power from your system as it does when you're not sleeping - so your battery is still being drained in sleep mode. I have gotten in the habit of just using the real-time save and turning the system off instead. I just want to be able to close the DS without having a constant annoying sound

Xenomrph posted:So the file it gives me is lameboy.nds or something like that - do I put that in the main directory? And then make a sub-directory for games and whatever? Yes. You don't even need a new directory, you could just dump your .gb and .gbc files into the root directory along with all of your .nds programs and it would merely be cluttered.

TomSellek posted:Is there a flash cart that will play GBA/GBC and will do save states? I don't care if it does DS my brother already has a DS flash cart but wants one to play old gameboy stuff for christmas. All DS flash carts can run the Lameboy GB/GBC emulator. Pretty much any DS flash cart in conjunction with an Ez-Flash 3-in-1 cart for the gba slot can run GBA game dumps on a DS or DS lite. The Supercard DSTWO can emulate the GBA but you will have sound going weird or the video getting skippy in certain games at certain times.

kalibar posted:But I was honestly, legitimately surprised to see that there's still no way to just purchase the drat games digitally and install them to the internal memory (re-releases and lesser-quality titles excepted). So I guess my ideal 3DS-purchasing scenario involves getting the system, some physical game cards that are going to sit on my shelf, and backups of those games on some hypothetical future flashcart. The PS Vita has that BUT you need to buy special proprietary memory cards at ridiculous prices. As in, the system comes without onboard user storage, and you'd need to buy: - 4 GB at $24.99 or - 8 GB at $39.99 or - 16 GB at $69.99 or finally - 32 GB at $119.99 Also, with the 3DS, they ship with 256 MB of internal storage that's mostly for DSiware and a 2 GB SD card. 3DS games are supposed to be between 512 MB and 2 GB currently, so for more than a few games downloaded you'd need to go the Vita route and start requiring people to buy bigger SD cards, although those at least don't have huge markup.

Neito posted:A fully updated AceKard lets you (for now), but you need a DS/DSLite to update it to be able to. A really bad one could have faulty circuitry/wiring in it that would damage the device,but that's not likely. If you're thinking of the thing where Nintendo supposedly said they were going to brick devices, that was just them covering their rear end after certain Wii firmware updates meant to block homebrew accidentally broke the consoles. Sort of a "no we totally meant to do that uh don't say it was bug!" thing.

It is very likely that they would need brand new flashcart designs in order to be able to run things in 3DS mode.

The Milkman posted:Is the GBA emulator on the DSTwo (on a DSi) any good or is it still better to get a Lite and the 3-in-1? The DSTWO GBA emulator will still skip frames and not always have accurate sound, while putting in a 3-in-1 will mean perfect play outside of the lack of game link port. There have never and will never be a really decent SNES emulator for the DS, primarily because the screen is so low res, and neither the console nor flashcarts with their own cpus (like dstwo) are really powerful enough for smooth emulation.

Remember when they released that update for the Wii that was supposed to block homebrew, but actually just hosed up a bunch of Wii systems so that they couldn't boot? This is Nintendo covering their rear end if their 3DS updates do that.

Just got a 3DS today and tried to plug it in - doesn't appear on the system menu. Did I screw myself into having to buy a new flash card? > Yes, the R4 won't even work on a DSi, much less the 3DS. Part of the reason you've had trouble finding answers is that there's 66 R4 clones out there, all with different abilities and some cards that get the R4 label slapped on them are 3DS enabled. But the original is not.

Karthe posted:Has Nintendo made good on their threat to blacklist any 3DS that's used a flashcart? I just picked up a 3DS XL today and am curious if it's worth the risk to pick up an updated flashcart and maybe get my new console banned at some point in the future. The last one I purchased was an R4 for my DS, so I'm really out of the loop with all of this stuff. Their "threat" is just them covering their rear end for warranty purposes and stuff if a future firmware update + flashcart combo ever causes 3DSes to get permanently damaged. It's them spinning it as a "it's not a bug, it's a feature" thing.

While the 3DS is out of the question, I'm wondering if it's still possible to update it to work on a DSi. The last update I did to my XL was last year to download that free Zelda Four Swords game. EZFlash V has no support for running on the DSi. It'll only successfully boot on an original DS or a Lite.

Pegnose Pete posted:I have a SCDStwo and it works great for DS games, I have no problems updating it etc. The only thing I can think of is check that you have the latest version of the GBA plugin. I'm assuming you have a DSi or 3DS so you can't buy a gba slot card that would allow you to copy GBA games to it and play them "native" on DS/DS Lite.

Keito posted:DSTWO works fine on the 3DS, but SNES and GBA emulation isn't very good. Many games run slow and/or with graphic glitches and crackling audio. The emulators won't run any worse on a 3DS than a DSi, though. It's pretty amazing how well SNES emulation works considering the rather weak hardware in the PSP and DSTWO for running them. But yeah, they do still kind of suck. These days I use my phone with a clamp-on gamepad accessory for SNES emulation and it works great so I don't even need to bother with them

lol internet. posted:The SNES emulation seems pretty poor for DSTWO. Any alternatives other then CATFS? There isn't really a chance of good emulation of either of those on a DS or even cartridges with extra CPUs like the DSTWO. You just need a lot more processing power then you can get out of those.

Atlas Hugged posted:Does saving games in the GBA emulator on the DSTwo not really work well for other people? I don't mean using save states, I mean using the built in save function in the game. poo poo, I had this problem before and I'm not exactly sure on the solution, but I did get it fixed eventually. I think what I did was have something else generate new blank save files for each game, and that caused the saving to be reliable. Also there might be something wrong with your MicroSD card, and a different one might fix it.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Does the ezflash 3 in 1 let you play gba games with the ds's built in ability to play gba games or does it still require an emulator? The EZ Flash 3 in 1 essentially acts a single-game flashcart when you put a GBA game on it, so no emulation. As mentioned before, if you get the GBA-cart sized one instead of the DS Lite slot sized one, you can even just put a game on it and play it directly on any GBA system. Saoshyant posted:It plays them with the hardware. Those things have the most rubbish battery, though. The oldest one I have I got something like 4 or 5 years ago and it still saves just fine.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I've been playing with dsdoom and I have it working, but I can't figure out how to choose wad files. I have both doom.wad and doom2.wad in the directory and it just auto loads doom2.wad With this additional menu system: http://devkitpro.org/wiki/Homebrew_Menu You can then create a plain text file, rename it to whatever.argv and p ut in console commands like this to it: dsdoom.nds -iwad doom2.wad -file KDiP.wad -save KDiP Which allows you to have menu options in the homebrew menu, with different IWADS (eg tnt, plutonia, doom, doom2) and also you could have it load player-made maps. For just choosing between doom 1 and doom 2, you'd just have two files containing these respectively: dsdoom.nds -iwad doom.wad -save doom1 dsdoom.nds -iwad doom2.wad -save doom2 The DSDoom guy should have just built in his own menu thing, but apparently he couldn't be bothered. So you have to do this way instead.

Circle Nine posted:If I plan on getting a DS and a DSTwo card, mainly for NES/SNES emulation, is it worth getting the DSi XL for the larger screen, or is getting a DSLite an entirely fine option? You won't have a good time with SNES emulation on either (it's slow AND the screen res makes for annoying resolution crop or squishing). NES stuff is also kinda annoying to deal with because of the low res. However either one would work great for Game Boy, Atari 2600, Game Gear, Lynx etc emulation. And if you get a DS Lite, you can buy an EZ Flash V 3-in-1 sized for the GBA slot that'lll let you run GBA games natively as well as be usable as extra RAM for homebrew like the Quake and Quake 2 ports.

G-Prime posted:Only partially correct. The DSTwo has an on-cart coprocessor that does GBA emulation and a MUCH better job of SNES emulation than other flash carts. The GBA emulation is still poo poo in comparison to the regular GBA support of the Lite (I shouldn't get slowdown playing Chu Chu Rocket and Advance Wars of all things!), and the SNES emulation is still awful. Believe me I've tried it, I've had a DSTWO since they were brand new and have even kept up with the emulator plugin updates.

Len posted:So the same thing as ds flashcarts? There hasn't been homebrew posted in this thread in literal years. And the OP is almost devoid of anything homebrew related. That's more because a lot of DS homebrew stopped being useful considering the limited power of the thing and limited resolution. There will be worthwhile homebrew and ports on the 3DS for a while once development is able to really ramp up, especially with the 3D screen stuff and the fact the system isn't restricted to assy old wifi standards. Like, no one since 2011 or so has needed a browser running in 8 MB of ram (with expansion pack) and two 256x192 screens for browsing the internet, you know?

FlyingCheese posted:Oh nice, I figured the big N wouldn't allow games to be written to the SD card for piracy reasons, only to be used for music or something. That is very good to hear. Well, only certain games are available for sale digitally still, but that's as much up to publishers being weird as Nintendo. Normal 3DS cartridges hold between 1 GB and 3 GB of data, the 3DS cartridge format is capable of holding up to 8 GB of data without revisions to the hardware being needed. So, a 32 GB card, which you can get these days quite cheap, can easily hold 16 or so normal games as well as a bunch of smaller download only titles. Sidebar here but: Remember the PSP using UMDs? Those only held 1.8 GB and required that whole clunky motor setup.

Saoshyant posted:But I don't want a pirate cart -- I want to import games and play them. I have been curious about that smealum custom firmware because I heard it would get rid of the region locking, but that doesn't seem to be the case? I was asking about that specifically since that smealum guy seems to contradict himself when he talks on Twitter about what the firmware can and can't do. If the homebrew firmware works on the same basis as the pirate carts(which it probably will, as it's allowing unsigned code), then yes region protection will be neutralized. That's all I'm saying.
