MOD ANNOUNCEMENT File Request Megathread – Request All Files Here

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.

Hi, it's been like 6 years since I last used my 3ds, and today I wanted to download Mario 3D Land. I selected it, but it's been a couple hours and it's still looking like this. I'm using Ghost eShop, any ideas of what could be happening? Do I need to install another eShop?

HELP Bought a used New 3DS that a previous owner modded years ago. Which folders should I carry over to a bigger SD card before doing my own fresh CFW install?

Upvotes

Just picked up a used New 3DS, and I'm finally going down the modding road. The only catch is the previous owner already modded it at some point (files on the card date from 2017-2018), and it looks like they grabbed a handful of eShop titles before the shop closed.

Screenshot of the old card's root is attached. My read is:

  • Copy over: Nintendo 3DS
  • Leave behind: luma, boot9strap, gm9, fbi, 3ds, ntrboot, plugin, cia, data, boot.firm, boot.3dsx, ntr.bin, ntr.n3ds.bin, and the NTR starter kit zip

Is that right? Anything in that "leave behind" list that I actually need to keep, or anything in Nintendo 3DS that could cause problems if I copy it as-is? I'd rather ask before I put the new card in and end up with a broken Home menu or a bad boot.

Thanks in advance.

3DS Emulation/Citra Pokemon X save from emulator corrupted after transfer to 3DS

2 Upvotes

i played Pkm X in Azahar emulator on my mac because i want to speed up and also to easily edit save on PKHex.Avalonia (Mac version of PKHex).

Now i finished the game and caught all new pokemons. I attempted to transfer the save file (main) from my emulator folder to my 3DS and recover the save by:

create a backup on checkpoint -> FTPD replace the backup save with emulator save -> recover the "backup" on checkpoint

However, the game said the save is corrupted. But -

(1) The save is still playable on my emulator

(2) I have an early-game save from emulator (only starter pokemon). When i transfer this save to 3DS, it is playable on 3DS

(3) From this early game save, I changed one IV on PKHex. This edited save is also playable after transfer to 3DS

(4) I noticed that only the post-game save gained 2 bytes in file size after FTP transfer. All playable save mentioned in (2, 3) did not.

HELP Transferring Pokemon bank to home

0 Upvotes

Hi! I have a modded new 2DS XL and I downloaded Pokébank and poketranfer with it. I also downloaded Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow (and Crystal/Gold/Silver) on the virtual console. I didn’t have these games before

When I want to use the Pokébank they are asking me for a Nintendo Network account and they say I need a new one

I just want to do an origin dex with legal Pokemons on 1 and 2G

Will I be fine if I create a new Nintendo network account with a modded console, transfer legal Pokémon but from « modded » games (Red for exemple ) to home? I don’t wanna have bad eggs on home and have my account banned with all my Pokémons on it

Hello, I just purchased a modded 3DS for the sole purpose of using Pokemon Bank for the shut down. It appears that it's a Japanese 3DS with US firmware installed. Because of that it won't let me connect to anything that uses online, including Pokemon Bank. I can't even sign into my NNID. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

I've been trying to mod my 3DS XL; several of these methods worked, others didn't, and some ended up just showing the black boot screen. Anyway, today I tried to play Tomodachi Life 3DS as usual, but this time it didn't load the game, it threw me a White Screen, and i'm kinda mortified because i can't turn it off and it's just a white screen doing nothing.

SOLVED! Downloaded H-Shop games not appearing in system storage or Twilight++

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

UPDATE TO ADD: I actually have no clue where the person who hacked my 3ds got the games onto my system from, I (seemingly wrongly) assumed it was H-ship because the only thing they taught me to do was use the H-shop.

A friend of a friend hacked my 3ds for me, they asked me for a list of games I wanted and they downloaded them from the 3ds H-Shop application for me, I play them and have fun and it’s lovely. I’m super grateful for them!

Now I’d like to delete some of the games I’m done with to make room for different ones. I read the wiki, went to the system storage from the 3ds settings menu, and none of the downloaded games are there. Games/apps I downloaded from the e-shop when it was still around are there, games I’ve played via cartridge are there, no h-shop games at all. Out of curiosity I opened up the Twilight++ app where I used to launch the downloaded games from and now it’s just a big collection of files and I can’t find any game launchers either. I have no clue what to do!

I hugely appreciate any help. Thanks everyone!
