the memes weren't kidding it really is easy to hack your 3ds

now i just need a microsd card bigger than (checks) 32gb. y'know, to hold all the legitimate homebrew software

ancillary benefit of hacking your 3ds: if you have a new 3ds xl, when's the last time you cleaned under the rear cover (where the microsd slot and battery pack are)? i bet some grime got into the seam between the rear cover and the console body, get in there. a clean console is a happy console

oh yeah this rules, i forgot how much i liked the 3ds and putting my own stuff on it makes it better. i can finally have the typhlosion theme nintendo was too cowardly to make

i might have asked this around here already, but: what are the best options for nintendo ds and 3ds flashcarts? my system is a new 3ds xl, and unscrewing the back plate to access the sd card is a pain (plus i just like having flashcarts)

@typhlosion i believe the gold standard for ds flashcarts is the supercard 2, unless there's something better out now (unlikely)

@typhlosion you can stick an FTP server on the 3DS and transfer games files that way, fwiw

not familiar with the modern DS flashcart scene, but I dunno if it's as lively as others these days

@Skirmisher @typhlosion opened the thread to plug FTPD and just using something like FileZilla (windows/linux) or WinSCP (windows).

You can use Twilight Menu to launch a DSi interface and set it up to read DS roms from the SD card as well, no cart needed.

@sugar @Skirmisher as ive said elsewhere, it would be nice to have a flashcart that can work with my old red phat ds. for the 3ds, it would mostly just be for the sake of having an sd port i don't have to unscrew the backplate to access

@typhlosion is there a fan-made typhlosion theme? i want it now
