3ds Homebrew Cartridge

Occasionally I get questions like this: ' Hello there, I just read your instructable on 'How to run Homebrew on your Nintendo DS!' And had a question about the actual R4 device itself. I have looked everywhere regarding it's legal status and still have yet to find a reliable answer. So please forgive me for asking, but is the R4 cartridge legal to buy and own in the U.S? Thank you if you read this. ' Answer: ' Yes, I'm always happy to answer a question! The R4, like many things in life can do two things, legal things or illegal things.

It can play homebrew (free and legal!) or commercial games they are still free on the internet, but they are the ones you buy in the stores. They are illegal to download them and put them on your R4 or play them in any way, regardless of whether you own the game or not. In the US, you'd be lucky if you found them in any stores, companies like Gamestop and others wouldn't want to be seen selling objects that can do something illegal, it could get them into strife. Go to a store and ask for them and they'll tell you they're illegal. They are not!

They are completely 100% legal but you can usually only get them off the internet. I have bought four products on two different occasions from and they are very very reliable. So a summary: Legal to buy in U.S.: You won't find them. Legal to own in U.S.: Yes, as long as you are using them for homebrew only, they are legal. Can I run commerical roms, such as ones you buy in the store? A: Yes you can. But I, in no way endorse that act and cannot be held responsible for any wrong doings your par-take in.

I will not respond to any messages or comments regarding commercial roms, or where to download roms. If you repeatedly do this, I will email the Instructables Staff. It is illegal and we do not need to discuss it. Is it safe to purchase these online?

Probably the biggest concern amongst homebrew opponents is that any advancements toward running unauthorized programs on a console will inevitably lead to piracy. Smealum has said that Ninjhax, as it stands now, does not allow users to run commercial or pirated software, but many are still convinced that this the 3DS is on the verge of suffering the same piracy problems as the DS. Opponents of the Nintendo 3DS’s region-locking and homebrew-blocking welcomed yesterday’s news that hackers have made great strides in working around the system’s security. You can see evidence of that in the above image posted this morning, which shows a custom 3DS notification (with a nod to The World Ends With You).

A: I have purchased 4 products on two seperate occasions from BambooGaming.cn, and they have been fast, effective and have a great customer support centre. They also have a forum if you would like to ask more questions. Can I PM you? A: Yes only if you've read every section of the FAQ. To run Homebrew, you need either: -Slot 1 Flash Card (Image 1) -OR -Slot 2 Flash Cart and a PassKey. (Image 2 & 3 ) I, and many others recommend Slot 1 Flash Cards because of their compatibility rate. Most Flash Card/Cart runs off Removable Storage such as micro or miniSD (Image 4), with the exclusion of the G6 which has built in memory.

Note: If you have an R4, M3 or other Slot 1 cards, the executable you want to run is.nds. If you have a Supercard, you run.sc.nds. If you have other Slot-2 cards, you usually run nds.gba. Slot 2 Flash Carts are GBA cartridges that have Removable Storage inputs, such as micro or miniSD (Image 3).

But if you boot it from the main DS menu, it will boot as a GBA game. So you need a PassKey, which makes your DS think it's a DS game but really just boots from the GBA Cartridge. Again, Slot 1 Flash Cards are recommended. Where do I buy these from? You can buy a Games'n'Music from Datel and some chains in America, but these are not great for Homebrew compatibility. You should really be buying from an online store.

I use an R4, pretty much identical to M3 DS Simply, however, it appears the companies are stopping production of these. Look for DSTT's and iTouch DS.

They all seem to have pretty good rates (usually 99%-100%) for ROM Support and Homebrew Support. For purchasing I recommend:. They seem to have competitive prices for Australia. Beware when purchasing microSD cards, make sure to note whether they're SDHC or standard SD, because not all flash carts work with SDHC (4gb+). 'I've received my package, what now?' Your package may come with a disc with firmware you need to drop onto the microSD card, but it's best that you go to the manufacturers website and download the latest release.

Unzip/rar the file and just dump it all on the microSD card. Remove the card from your computer, insert it into the Flash Card and fire it up to see if it works. If it works, power down an insert back into the computer. Initially, developers had to program for specific Flash Cards, but after the invention of DLDI, developers program for one and you can DLDI patch it for almost any card.

So most homebrew you need to patch with DLDI, which is easily done with Chism's DLDI Patcher (Dynamically Linked Device Interface). You need to download the patcher (I recommend Win32 GUI for Windows users) and the suitable patch for your card. All you then have to do is run dlditool32.exe, select the patch and then select the binary/binaries (.nds/sc.nds/nds.gba is the same as 'binaries').

There's is a great list of homebrew out there, but not all will work with your card, so check before wasting time/bandwidth/money downloading something that won't work. On the Applications side of things, I recommend.

(Everything can be found with thing and downloads area.) -DScratch - DJ Program -Music Maker -Organizer, er nuff said -Web browser.vMac emulator - -Linux on DS - (iPod clone seen on front page) -Drawing program -DSAim - AIM on DS -Weather Checker. If you have a newer DSlite, you may encounter some problems with WiFi Applications, even if it works on Commercial WiFi games.

Simply change the channel on your Wireless Router to 10 for Homebrew and 1 for Commercial. From here the world is your seafood cocktail, and if it tickles your fancy you can begin programming if you wish. If you already have knowledge of programming, mainly C/C, you may want to look into.I don't really know much about it devkitPro, so I can't give you much help there. But if you do not have a lot of knowledge/expertise in programming, a good start is. Lua is a fairly basic language and can be easily learned, especially with the aid of Hit the DSLua forums for any questions. Have fun and enjoy the homebrew!

You CAN homebrew a 3DS, but the problem is Nintendo still actively supports the 3DS and anything that is used to homebrew it ends up being patched not long later. This can be avoided by simply waiting for a while and not updating so you have an out-of-date version that people have an exploit for, or finding a way to downgrade your system (which would require a different exploit) to a version that has known ways of homebrewing. You can check out reddit.com/r/3dshacks (3DS Hacks, not 3D Shacks) for some more details.

Oh, and if/when you DO homebrew your 3DS, look into citra-emu.org to have some fun. Also, if you're a pokemon fan, you can use a homebrew'd 3DS to transfer pokemon from the original red/blue/yellow cartridges to the 3DS virtual console and Pokemon Bank in order for your favorites from the originals to be transfered to your current games.
