    The 3DS was Nintendo's last true portable device and is still my favorite. One the best 3DS mods out there is the Project Restoration mod for Majora's Mask 3D which undoes all the unnecessary changes made to the game with additional QOL changes. Also there's a mod that adds C-stick support to Ocarina of Time 3D which never got Circle Pad Pro support. Now you can freely move the camera around like in Majora's Mask 3D.

      This was always one of the biggest selling points of homebrew, for me. It's especially nice for games where you only have two or three save files, but you make some game-changing choices at certain points in the game that are nice to be able to backup while playing on original hardware.

      I think JKSV is far better than Checkpoint. JKSV is more simple and intuitive, I hate how everything on checkpoint is done by button combos that are not explained well. I was infuriated how some games didnt appear because the game list is refreshed by a button combination, on JKSV you just click "Reload game list" as it should. For Pokemon games there is also PKSV which acts like a local Pokemon Bank

    • @lordeilluminati
      @lordeilluminati Před měsícem

      I rather JKSV than Checkpoint. I hate how Checkpoint has an awful UI that relies too much on button combos for important features that the user needs to remember. JKSV is far easier and straightforward to use, just refresh your game list, choose it to create a new backup or to restore a save from that game and done. For Pokemon games there is PKSV also.

      You're honestly better off just buying 3rd party faceplates for the normal sized New 3DS, depending on what plate it is anyway
      A lot of them are also inflated now, but I'd rather pay roughly $35-40 for a 3rd party clone of the Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire faceplates then spend $120+ for the actual OEM ones. The 3rd party clone does the job perfectly fine.

      We need to think in terms of development costs vs financial gain ratios.
      The devs who ported those games to the 3DS did so on their free time, but if Nintendo were to do it themselves they'd have to spend money on devs who'd need to be paid for this, as small as this kind of project may seem.
      I don't think many people would be interested in those games like they'd be in NES/SNES/Game Boy stuff. But it is pretty sad to see that those games will essentially become unknown to the majority of people due to the fact they're tied to a system that failed.

    As someone who can speak Japanese (now), my 3DS lately has been one the best emulation machines out there. I'm still thinking of buying a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro but honestly, playing games like Mizzurna Falls, Yuuyami Doori Tankentai (one of my goals) and as of this week, Boku no Natsuyasumi, my N3DS running these games as a CIA has been such a great experience. Even more recently with the new Virtual Boy emulator that os now running natively on the 3DS is insanely good! I recently conpleted Wario Land on it and its by far the best game on VB and one of the best Wario Land games. Using the actual 3DS 3D slider and being able to change the colours from Red to anything else is such a huge inprovement.
    PS1 on the 3DS and now playing these region/language locked games has made the 3DS one of the best and cheapest handheld emulators out there.
    Funny side story, while I was in Japan Nov 2023, I ended up street passing with a Nintendo employee, but it said my most recent game was PS1 Virtual Console lol. So now there's a Nintendo employee with someone who had a PS1 emulator on their 3DS now appear in their Mii Plaza.

    I'm gonna guess and say that the frame drops in a Link Between worlds is due to the game loading things in view on the fly while IN the game world, as opposed to the fast travels fade to black allowing the system to free up bandwith by not needing to render anything, thus not stressing the 3DS as much

The ability to back up saves of physical and digital NDS and 3DS titles directly to your SD card is extremely valuable.

    Wanna know how to make your 3ds display more colors?
    First open "Rosalina menu".
    Go to "screen filters".
    Then go to "Advanced Configuration".
    Here you will want to change "Gamma" to 2.00 and "Contrast" to 1.20.
    After that exit back to "Rosalina menu" and then go to "Save settings".
    And you're done.

    I homebrewed my 3DS a couple of weeks ago for my birthday because I noticed the console was starting to have some trouble reading the cartridges when I switched them. So I homebrewed it to dump all my games inside (and my sibling’s because I played them too and I want to keep playing them when I have the time) and preserve my games and my save files.
    I ended up having fun finding custom themes and I’m learning about what else I can do aside from playing roms and games I didn’t have the opportunity to play before.

      @uponeric36 Před měsícem

      @@EuroMIX2 It was always wild to me that 3DS released without it. It single handedly saves 3D on 3ds. Like on one hand I get it, the success of the 3DS let us have the New 3DS, but I always had the feeling that we never got to experience 3D focused games on the 3DS because of that ironically. Most games use the 3D aesthetically rather than making it core to gameplay, and the awful flickering and one angle nature of the original 3ds 3D is likely responsible for that.
      Tbh I wish we got a New 3DS with NO SLIDER always on 3D on release so developers would've be forced to actually engage with it to do cool things. And if a game didn't have 3D, it could've just boot into 2D instead.
