Uh, you think so? The NDS had two CPUs: the NDS mode CPU, and the GBA mode one.

We could say it's well coded software: but it would be ridiculous for the 3DS to have 3 CPUs, just for some uses.

4 жыл бұрын

@@Gabi-enby It's at least related to the fact that the 3DS family can play DS games. I've experienced the Ambassador GBA titles before, and unlike other VC titles on the system, there are no extra features & the system does a mini reboot upon leaving the game. This means that the system is at least booting into DS mode to run the GBA games & it's likely that Big N could never find a workaround that met their standards, which is probably why they never publicly released GBA games on the system.

@ryan.crosby

4 жыл бұрын

The NDS had two CPUs, an ARM7 (GBA compatible) and an ARM9. However the DS actually used both of these to run DS games. The ARM9 was the main application CPU, and the ARM7 was used for audio processing and input/output. ARM7 was obviously used for GBA mode too, but at half speed. Now, the 3DS is a little weird. It has three cores on board, an ARM11 (3DS games), an ARM9 (3DS kernel or NDS games), and an ARM7 (NDS games or GBA). Because the 3DS normally runs its kernel on ARM9, it cannot run NDS games with any sort of 3DS kernel running, so it boots into a dedicated NDS mode where only ARM9 and ARM7 are enabled. This is why it's almost impossible to "break out" of NDS mode into 3DS mode via exploit. GBA mode on 3DS is running on ARM7 with ARM9 and ARM11 disabled. However, it uses a weird "ambassador" firmware, which was needed to load the game from memory and handle savegames. This mode disables so much of the 3DS hardware that sleep mode and all other 3Ds features don't work at all, because it's literally acting as a GBA. Nintendo never released this on the eShop because it probably never met their quality standards. You had to reboot the system to get back to the firmware, sleep didn't work. They never implemented all the save game types (pokemon). But it is a real GBA CPU.

I got my 2DS at 2015 but thanks to one of those "Stability updates" I had to wait one whole year to get an exploit to it. But man, what a time to be alive! It's my favorite Nintendo console since then, and still rocks nowadays. The modding community is awesome, I believe even more bigger than the Wii one, and keeps the console alive no matter that "daddy N" had changed priorities to the Switch. 8:19 Nintendo officially only have SNES games on New 3DS/New 2DS hardware if you use Homebrew to install any official SNES game on Old 2DS hardware they run awful, but look how smooth the SNES emulator runs on 2DS homebrew. So once again modders community does what Nintendon't

In the video, MVG mentions that "Nintendo never really removed functionality from console revisions at all." Yeah, the Wii Mini is a good example of them doing just that. Also, the original Wii model had GameCube compatibility, later versions didn't. On the topic of GameCube, Nintendo removed the rarely used digital AV out. The NES toploader removed the AV out, was composite only.

So glad you made this. A modded hombrew console I actually own for once! I've gotten so much use out of my modded 2DS, and I really haven't even scratched the surface of what's possible with homebrew. But the apps and added functionality make it an awesome modded system alone. Being able to play DS games via SD card with TwilightMenu which boots the system into DS mode without a cartridge, and having PKSM installed so I can have an offline Pokemom bank that can trade Pokemon from Gen 4 all the way up Gen 7 AND BACK (that's one of the best parts), has been one hell of a time. It's been so nice to have all the games in the series at my disposal in an effort to truly catch em all for the first time. Not to mention my massive backlog of games I never got the chance to play from the DS era and 3DS era, and all of the homebrew games of course! These things are so cheap, even the retail ones are only $80. Totally worth it, highly recommend 👌🏼

Very underrated handheld that's really been overshadowed by the Switch as of recent. It's also funny seeing you build a .cia launcher for Metroid Prime, as I seem to recall playing that for quite a few years now as the ambassador program included that game...I'm really glad the homebrew community really cracked open that feature for everyone.

YESSS!! This is precisely the video I've been looking forward to! Well, almost, this is about the 2DS instead of the 3DS, but well, close enough! Good job mate!

Very cool, glad you did an episode on this. I have a 'new' 2DS XL and will definitely be looking into getting homebrew on it.

Since a hacked 3ds can load mods for games, I thought I'd give a few recommendations (aside from the obvious ones like English translations of Japanese-only games, of course): -Same-Sex Marriage patches for both Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates - adds in the option for gay/lesbian couples and also has new (text-only) dialogue for these character pairings. Though one should note that getting the child characters requires some fiddling around with tools. -CTGP-7 for Mario Kart 7 - a community-made modpack for MK7 that adds new features and most notably whole new tracks. You can race in online mode with this mod as well, provided you're in a -Mario Kart 'community' where everyone has this mod loaded. -Certain games like Dragon Quest 8 have mods to add in alternative soundtracks, unused/cut content, undo censorship, etc. -And my personal favorite - Project Restoration, which is a mod for Majora's Mask 3D that not only tweaks the game with QoL features (such as transformation masks being on the d-pad, the I and II touch buttons now being physically press-able via button combinations,etc.) but also restores aspects of the game to be more like the original N64 version (Zora-swimming no longer takes magic and is now fast by default, the Inverted Song of Time has the same slow-down rate it had in the original game, and one of my favorite aspects - it removes the random eyeballs that were added onto every boss enemy for no reason. With this mod the 3DS version now has pretty much no downsides!

2DS/3DS are some of my preferred methods of running classic emulation. Even on PC's with all the filters and options I think the screen stretch can be rough sometimes. The low-res handheld screens are great for emulating retro games and hardware is typically more than powerful enough especially if you have a "new" 3ds/2ds

Thanks to this guy now i have a PSvita and a pair of 2DS handheld, they've all been cfw'ed and i always share them with my cousins everytime we go to trips. Once again a huge thanks to you and the teams that make these homebrew wonders possible :D

A new New 2DS or just a new 2DS?

Great video. I got my Old 3DS in september 2013, and for years i kept a look on the hacking scene. When everything was stable, i installed Luma3DS on mine in mid 2018 using Seedminer (DSiWare save exploit). It took me 2 week to read all the official guide, get all the files (i had to ask someone on Discord to get my movable.sed file for me), and 3 hours to install everything. It was the first time i jailbroke something all by myself. I felt really proud of myself and was all started my love for this channel, homebrew and hacking.

Makes me nostalgic for the days when I ran homebrew on my ds lite. I didn't have an ipod, the iphone was only this hip new fad and yet this one device was my planner, my ipod, my gaming console and even had a cool artwork app called Colours which was AWESOME for the time. I didn't even need a smart phone back then. Oh and Nitro tracker is still one of the most usable trackers I've ever used. Had some Really cool synth apps too. Nintendo could have invented the iPhone if they tried.

YOU DID IT!! I love the video, I own a modded 2ds, and this video helped me with what I should put on my 2ds, thank you man!

I got into homebrew through my 2ds. And its a beast. Glad to see people appreciate the 2ds

I paid full price for my 2ds. $80, and it was 100% worth it. Got it homebrewed, enjoying some custom games (although with a few crashes, haha.)

Appreciate your content, your knowledge and expertise with these things is awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing as always, would love love love to see a follow up about the New 2DS/3DS

Loved the vid. Use to homebrew the dsi when it first game out and use to customer other people's dsi just for the fun of it. Now that the 3ds has been out and new homebrew firm ware available look at doing some custom brew again and thanks to you and your links now know where to start. Will advise once have done this on how it went. Thanks again

Huh? Nintendo removed functionality and features from hardware all the time before the Wii Mini. Heck, the standard Wii had already lost GameCube support. DSi lost the GBA slot. GB micro lost GB(C) support. GBA SP lost the headphone jack. DOL-101 GameCube lost digital out and other I/O. GBA lost the IR port. NUS-101 N64s lost the 64DD port. SNS-101 SNES lost S-Video, RGB, built-in RF, expansion port, and the eject lever. Most SNS-001 SNES systems lost the cartridge locking mechanism from earlier SNS-001 consoles. NES-101 NES lost the composite AV output. HVC-101 Family Computers lost the microphone and built-in RF. Nintendo has a long history of cutting things back and reducing functionality to save cost.

i was literally just looking for videos on 3DS homebrew on your channel last night, holy shit! 3DS homebrew is amazing. not only does it have tons of potential, but the installation process using fredtool is insanely easy. i remember doing Tubehax in like 2014 (or something) and it was way more difficult- it was something that took like 5 hours to do for a first timer. but the first time i used fredtool it took like 2.5 hours, even though i was totally new to the whole process. i regularly install homebrew on my friends’ 3DSes for free these days because i want to spread the joy of this awesome little console. an underrated function of 3DS homebrew is custom themes. Nintendo’s selection of home menu themes tend to be pretty boring, but people have made some really interesting and awesome themes using Anemone.

I was very delighted to see that half-life runs on 3ds! I am definitely going to re-exploit my 3DS!

A couple other 2DS downgrades that wasn't mentioned was that it uses only one speaker and the feel of the plastic feels much cheaper and the buttons feel squishier. I actually liked the wedge design, especially with my larger hands. It was just a shame that it felt so cheap and only had mono audio unless using headphones.

The NSUI tool he mentioned should also be used for GB, GBC, NES, SNES and GameGear games. 3DS has this 'Virtual Console' feature which allows these games to run natively rather than via emulation. Also check out TWiLightMenu++. Useful if you wanna play DS ROMs off the microSD as opposed to an external cartridge.

Really glad to see this video. The little system deserved this. Also the unit is more sturdy than the flipcover DS devices. With a hack, the older DSTT and other cards work also. The only thing that is missing from this video is how to run/install the DSi homebrew and DSi games.

I got to consider my home-brew options, and this one sounds like the cheapest I can get for a portable playing machine. Good assessment.

No, they are still emulated. The 3DS and 2DS do not contain the legacy ARM processor like the Nintendo DS did. Some games do have issues, such as Super Mario Advanced 4.

@Supersayainpikmin

Jason Lee The GBA's main processor hardware is baked into the DS CPU core, and since the the DS CPU is still on board the 2DS, games run perfectly fine. As far as the 2DS is concerned, it's a DS game running at a lower resolution, as both don't offer a sleep mode. I guess Mario Advance 4 has minor issues considering the DS and 3DS cores are on the same chip. (Just a guess though)

@0x1EGEN

@@Supersayainpikmin That is still incorrect. Again, the Nintendo DS has 2 separate processors, the ARM7 which is what is used for the backwards compatible GBA games, and the ARM9, which is what the DS games used. And although they were probably on a single chip, that does not mean it is the same for the 3DS/2DS as the chip on those only contain the ARM9 architecture. The ARM7 processor is entirely absent on the 3DS/2DS. Although further research before this comment, I too was a bit wrong on my end. GBA isn't entirely emulated because the ARM11 is similar to the ARM7 architecture which does allow some instructions to run natively. However, again the ARM11 is still different ant therefor some parts does need to be wrapped or emulated. Because of this, not every GBA game is compatible and it is also why Nintendo only released a few GBA games in the E-Shop.

@Supersayainpikmin

As someone else in the comments has pointed out, the 3DS does have the ARM7 processor. While the DS had it's own dedicated ARM9 processor, many developers used the GBA CPU for sound processing as the DS, like the GBA, lacked any kind of sound hardware. Since almost every DS game uses the ARM7, it was vital to be included for DS backwards compatibility. When a DS game is launched, the ARM11 is completely unused; this is why when exiting a game does a full restart of the system and why it's impossible to go from DS mode to 3DS mode. When in GBA mode, the ARM9 is unused, however the ARM11 is still technically used, but only for save games. Because of this awkward save method, not all save types are supported, including the ones used in all the Pokemon games.

@@Supersayainpikmin ..you're using another comment as a source. And that info is still wrong. The DS does indeed have a dedicated sound chip, one that can play 16 channels. The DS utilizes the ARM7 mainly to drive the secondary display, usually for 2D graphics. This is the same on the 3DS with the ARM9. www.lifewire.com/game-boy-nintendo-3ds-1126293

One type of emulator that’s become really popular for the 2/3DS are early computers (C64, Spectrum, Amiga, etc) as you have the second screen for a virtual keyboard. Definitely worth checking out.

This is exactly what I did with my N3DS last spring. It's a great handheld emulator for sure! I was not aware of the PC game ports, though. I'll have to find those and give them a shot!

I just keep going back to the 2ds and 3ds. I bought it for the 4th time yesterday, this time i plan to keep it. Such amazing value

There's also using flashcarts with ntrboot to set up boot9strap, which is also a fairly well used method, and is a bit faster than BannerBomb3 in my experience. It has the same result of installing Luma3DS, too, so either method can be used. Also, never EVER use a video guide, unless that video guide is specifically for the exact version your 3DS is on, and is only walking you through the de facto official guide: 3ds.hacks.guide . The various forums and subreddits constantly get "My 3DS was bricked" posts that say they followed a video guide or tried to skip a step in the process.

I used that one exploit where you replace a DSI app and replace it with one containing the payload (Japanese version of Flipnote Studio). I love that the homebrew is finally free from GateWay's grasp as it should be.

This is actually a very timely video. With the Switch and especially the Switch Lite, I imagine many people are going to start selling off their 3DS's so you might get an even better price with time.
