Last thread lasted 20 days.We're in the 2 week window for Pokemon leaks.Welcome to the Pokemon Leak thread.
asking again if anyone can find out why the touchscreen in this isn't working https://files.catbox.moe/pz6r8q.ziphttps://files.catbox.moe/mt6gwb.nds
>>541104063thanks but >>541105643 oh well kek>>541109509No idea what to even look for, but this is a great opportunity to learn something new. I'll see what I can find since I'm free at work rn

>>541111874switch is such a piece of shit
new trace fix?
>>541111307should mention that it's nearly as old as the ds itself so i changed it a little to build on libnds 1.8.3, any newer than 1.8.3 and you'd have to learn how to use the calico shit where they completely rewrote a lot of libnds
>>541109509I don't know shit about DS development, but at a glance, touch all needs to go through ARM7 if what I'm reading is right. Are you sure ARM9 can just read it normally like that? Maybe you need ARM7 to read it and store it somewhere they can both access it? Just throwing it out there. Like I said, never touched DS. Only 3DS.
>>541113923that is right but libnds provides a default arm7 binary that does nothing but respond to arm9 ipc for things like touch and soudn
>>541113923my understanding of it from the libnds examples is that the ARM7 only runs a little bit of code to be set to idle and send things to ARM9 while the ARM9 handles everything else

Yeah the battery drain seems pretty bad after updating my switch to 20.xIs there some actual solution beyong keeping it in airplane mode? My switch is launch so the battery itself isn't the freshest, but dropping 10%+ overnight is extreme
>>541159040Downgrade to 18.1.0 and use SAK to patch games to run on old firmwarehttps://github.com/dezem/SAK/releaseshttps://github.com/DeaconBlood/PROD.KEYS/releases
>2 weeks until pokemon za is out>no leaksThats honestly insanely surprising. I guess Nintendo finally learned after many many generations of pokemon.
>>541164856Give it a week. Someone's gonna leak it by then.
>>541164856Someone leaked Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 early, they're DEFINITELY gonna leak Z-A.
Having problems with running pokemon X on my 2DSXL. Luma 13.3, most recent firmware. The console is Japanese but allows for region free gaming. Black screen and softlock after choosing language in game. I figured out that this was due to the 1.5 update, I can play the base version just fine. Redownloaded the update multiple times from various different sources, still no dice. Oddly enough, Pokemon Y works just fine even with its respective 1.5 update installed. I also have a physical cart, when I put it in and boot it up it just gives me a black screen softboot immediately. I've tried messing around in luma locale switcher as well but no luck. Any ideas?
>>541172109Pokémon started being region free in X/Y, so language isn't the issue.You may need to delete the folder that the update is located or the folder of the game's title ID. If you got a spare SD card, try a fresh install before deleting stuff. Sketchy SD cards can do bad stuff too.
>>541164856by the weekend it should be available as usual
>>541164856guy on /vp/ has it >>>/vp/58326448
is sd2vita faster than proprietary memory cards? Also is the proprietary port on the 1000 slower than the usb one on the 2000?

>>541164856Almost no game since 2024 if any at all leaked earlier than the week of release. It's pretty clear Amazon was the problem and blacklisting it left only mom and pop stores who only leak the week of.
>>541159040Why do you need it connected to the Wi-Fi in the first place?
>>541183840To install things off my NAS.
>>541105403but my wii does want apple juice
>>541175271depends on the sd card, i don't think there's that much difference (like even if the sd card was faster the system would likely not allow for that faster speeds to be used)for the ports, i don't think so
>>541174784that's fake retard
>>541190762i want to hear the wii say that
>>540993775>>540994268>>540994438>>540995250I respect it.>>540832194I had an inflated Old 3DS battery too. Replaced it with a Cameron Sino battery and it's all good now.
thanks to the guy last thread who hooked me up with a solid download for pokemon violet, i'm back on the grind now. it's such a pain to find roms though and the only freeshop I have has a 5gb limit. Would think a console as popular as the switch wouldn't be such a headache to 1) mod and 2) get downloads for.Anyway what are the most reccomended linux and android OS's for the switch? going to take it with me on my holidays next year so it'll be handy to have
>>541190762oy vey
>>541222934just get a cheap tablet instead
>>541222934>shopslol, lmao>other OSswhat do you want them for? emulation? the switch already does that just fine. If you're on holidays I doubt you'll use moonlight. Honestly android or linux on switch is not that great of an experience, just get a tablet like >>541225260 says
>>541112649>BadUpdate>BadAvatarHe's developing a full-on softmod, too, but BadAvatar is a pretty solid boot automation as is.
>>541222934>Would think a console as popular as the switch wouldn't be such a headache to 1) mod and 2) get downloads for.that's specifically why it happens to be fairalso having used android on my switch (there's no choice there by the way, you just get the latest version available) i'd say it's not worth it, ultimately you realize everything it can do your phone by now can probably do better, with the switch just having a slightly bigger screen over it. And/or, the switch itself on its own OS can do better

is there any better method for deleting games off of my 3ds without having to go to System Settings -> Software? this shit's slow as hell and some games aren't even displayed there
>>541265562FBI
nueces
What do you mean pagina dieci I just got it kjn the firstbu aplcea,...
The fact people in here are still playing their 3DS (myself included) shows that the Switch really did not replace it.
>>541294017is this a surprise?
>>541294414A little because when the Switch was coming out I thought "new handheld, I guess they're replacing the 3DS".
>>541294659switch barely even registers as a handheld to me, it's huge
>>541294736Yeah.
Has anyone tried update bad avatar over bad update? I have been using bad update 1.2 for while now and using my old xbox 360 acc. Can you flash it over not to lose saves etc?
>>541294017only cause 3DS still has some games not ported elsewhere, at least for methough i'd also agree the 3DS was the last true big company name handheld given the switch's portability is only good for playing on the sofa or bed. Even the vita is too big (not to mention the protruding sticks) to actually carry it around without a dedicated case. Sucks most chink handhelds also do this and very few took the clamshell design way
>>541297459if they had made the switch lite a "clamshell" that closes on its sides (ie the joycons closing inwards on the screen) i would've got one
>>541297459The niche of actually pocketable machines is taken up by smartphones, would be suicidal to try to compete with those.
>>541306541smartphones are still too cumbersome to actually play videogames with, even if just for the fact that they don't come with built in controllers. It's the reason chinkhelds that are literally that, phones with a built in controller, sell like hot cakes. Or like in another field, why dedicated music players still sell even though you can just use your phone, people like having dedicated hardware instead of a "it does everything" hardware
>>541315891I'm not saying you're wrong to want dedicated devices, but I feel you're way underestimating how niche those are now.PS5 install base is what, 80mil now, random Chinese emulation handhelds on budget SoCs aren't even competing in the same league. Nobody is mad enough to seriously release and treat one like a real independent platform.For actual high end gaming all platform holders figured out that nobody can afford to have separate handheld architecture and to develop a unique game library for it, so yeah it's all going to be largish luggable devices for the foreseeable future.The big advantages phones have is they are already in everyones' pockets and people have been conditioned to spend well over a thousand dollars per device so it can have a really nice screen and a top end SoC.
>>541297459There's a ton of chink clamshells lately. retroid flip 2, miyoo flip, anbernic rg34 and 35xxsp, ayn thor, ayaneo pocket ds...I wish Nintendo was making one instead because they all have caveats.
>>541323951same but at the same time i'm glad it's not cause i'd essentially want a more powerful 3DS, and by 3DS i mean a hacked onethey're going slow and steady with it but in 5-10 years i can see those rog ally or legion or even a steam deck getting a clamshell model, maybe even "dual screen" (aka it has a foldable screen)
>>541294017mostly because there's no way yet to accurately replicate the feel of a 3DS/DS, dual screens is still something so unique that emulators just never feel right, and ports have to get rid of any dual screen capability, which keeps the 3DS a very unique system because its games are hard to adapt to single screen devices.On top of that, the 3DS was made portable first, even the Switch Lite is not as portable as a 3DS XL.I feel there's still a market for a DS-like device, but maybe not big enough for Nintendo to justify manufacturing, at least for now, maybe in the future they'll release a 3DS Classic Edition if they feel like it, but it will probably just be an overpriced console hoarded by collectors
>>541337983The Switch broke Nintendo, they won't do anything cool or interesting for a long time.

Does Retroarch still work alright after the 20.X Switch update?
>>541348303Retroarch was always kinda busted
>using switch v1 with moonlight on LineageOS as daily driver to play games>battery is starting to die fasterI’m looking at a steam deck to replace this switch since the oled switch requires a modchipIs the difference between the steam deck LCD and OLED models that big? Seeing the LCD on discount right now is tempting>this is also assuming the steam deck can run android too
>>541356115consider android chinkhelds for streaming also
>>541356115>switch v1 with moonlight on LineageOSuse moonlight on the normal os, it's miles betteralso i'm pretty sure battery life has always been an issue on android so again just try the normal os first
>>541356375will look into this>>541356713I do use moonlight on switch OS but I use artemis on LineageOS only because of the virtual monitor option that makes playing on the go way easier for meI was hoping I could install the same artemis apk on the steam decks version of android

There's also the chance of getting a refurb, so check if there are any for your area.>this is also assuming the steam deck can run android tooWhy? For Moonlight? You can probably just use Sunshine instead, which is Moonlight for AMD. No need to fiddle with Android.

Too hopeful for Pokemon weekend?
>>541348303Use Lakka if it's that important to you. I don't think Retroarch on the Switch/HOS gets any real updates anymore. The team pretty much abandoned it from what it looks like.
>>541371605I'm hoping it leaks at least by next Friday.
hazelnuts
>>541160320Don't big updates burn fuses or something like that so you can't downgrade? Also, what I'm supposed to do with already installed games that require >20.x? Uninstall them, patch them and install them again?
>>541393720can downgrade custom firmware bypass the fusesonly a problem if you're booting stock on old firmware if you burnt fuses (updating via dayback doesn't burn a fuse)
>>541394375Well, the stock was already on 20.something when I got it and I updated the emummc so I could play Silksong. That's why I thought I was locked to that firmware. I guess there shouldn't be a problem if the cfw is on another version then.

moonlight on switch can only do 1080p60fps right?
> I traded in my Wii U because I didn't want to buy a new power brick.> XBOX 360 games sold as if they were new.Are these people crazy? I know about XONE backwards. But with the bad update, you'd think they'd sell the games for cheaper. Because it's better to RGH or, with the bad update, softmod your console. Resellers and collectors are the worst.
>>541419945they're fiends but on the other hand they're enabled by the complete retards willing to spend that kind of money. It's especially grating when they go "i want to play this old game, of course i need to buy this used copy that goes for 200 bucks!" as if piracy and emulation just didn't exist in their mind. And like yeah i can get collecting and whatnot, but at some point you have to realize you're just making it worse for yourself and everyone else too by not telling sellers "fuck you i'll just emulate it"
>>541420554society needs those complete retards to waste money on shit sadly
Would be pretty funny if 3DS and Wii U get a firmware update.
>>541109509anyone?
>update switch>install silksong>finally start playing zelda echoesI'm done letting this console rot for now. That's what the Switch 2 is for.
Newfag here. Never modded a console before so I got a new sd card for my 3ds but it seems I have to format it to FAT32 first, how do you guys usually do it?
>>541443331assuming you're on windows there's a program called guiformat that does that
>>541105403Is there any way to easily almost instantly transfer a 3DS save file from your handheld to PC and back? Like over FTP or my home network or whatever? Hell even uploading the save to a cloud service or something. I haven't touched my 3DS in ages but want to be able to play this Pokemon romhack seamlessly on the go and then back on PC through emulation. I don't want to have to whip out the SD card and SD card USB dongle thing and go in and copy and paste blah blah blah every single time.I have JKSaves program or whatever else on my 3DS already for save file and file management, I know how to backup and transfer saves manually. I just don't know about any easy potential FTP/upload function.And if it's more of a hassle than just using the USB dongle I guess I'll suck it up.

My 3DS is old and on 10.3.x of Luma3DS (confirmed by bringing up the L, down, select menu). Is it still as simple as just dragging and dropping the latest Luma zip contents to the root?
