Just started up Pokemon Quetzal and good lord
(hexbear.net)
You get a choice of like 18 different playable trainer skins and 80+ different starters
Then you learn that you can have all 6 of your party pokemon following you around on the overworld
Then you got the fact that you encounter pokemon via pokemon walking around in the grass, including visibly distinct shinies.
Oh and it has the full 1000+whatever pokedex so every different route has 20 pokemon walking around so as someone trying a Nuzlocke I'm just standing there struggling to decide which one to take
Oh and also since it's a romhack so I'm playing it on my 3DS
GBA era romhackers are something else
Oh this looks like it could be fun... how long will it take to figure out how to do romhacks with my 3DS? let's see...
If you already have your 3ds hacked, you just open your FBI app, select 'remote install' and then 'from QR code' and then point your 3DS camera at the QR code in the reddit link.
if you don't have it hacked you should get on that. if you do, it's very simple
Pasting the guide I'm following here just for notekeeping purposes:
Oh sweet! https://3ds.hacks.guide/
Hah, shit... My 3DS is of the full-size SD card era. While I have full-size SD cards, my computer only has MicroSD slots... Furcking heck
Most SD cards come with an adapter I thought. You can just get a cheap one with an adapter if you really like your current one.
Trust me, my 3DS has CFW and I soldered in a USB-C port for charging (surprisingly easy. I wouldn't do it as your first solder job but it really takes minimal skill). I freaking love the thing. With a 64gb sd card you can fill it up with enough games you'll never play them all. There's a file management app (FBI) that will let you download and install games from QR codes too. It's sooo kickass.
Fuck yes, I have it!
Oh fuck, I was thinking I have no adapter from big-to-small so I can't get any of this full-size SD cards into my laptop to get them set up. Like you said though I of course have small-to-big adapters and after formatting my microSD card, I'll have it wear the adapter and boom, it'll work.
Now, the guide recommends not having a card (with storage space) of larger than ~~I think 64~~ 128* gB. I don't have a microSD card so small. How much of a problem might that create for me?
I think the biggest problem with that would be the formatting time. I have seen people who have +256GB cards before but I didn't really ask them about it. It'll really unnecessary though
I've decided what I really want is to play MegaMan X on my 3DS, it surely must be possible to get an SNES emulator on here too, if GBA is possible?
Ooh there are totally emulators for the 3DS though. I have heard, but have no real experience with, that there are emulators for almost every system that came before the 3DS. Excluding the Xbox. So PS1, 2, PSP, neogeo, I've seen a few Dreamcast things I think, etc...
I think I actually have MegaMan X on mine. So what people do is they'll make a .CIA file (basically the equivalent of a rom) with the emulator built in.
IDK if this is allowed here, please if it's not let me know and I'll edit it out... But let's say you've installed your CFW on your 3DS. A step of that will be to install the file manager FBI.
You'll want to open FBI and go to the bottom option (it's install or download or something I don't have mine with me right now). Choose remote install, and from QR code.
Now on your phone or PC or whatever you can go to hshop.erista.me for example, here's their MegaMan X page and you'll scan that QR code. Couple seconds to minutes later (about 30-45 for the 1+gb giant 3ds games), you're playing your game!
Now I absolutely hate recommending reddit for really anything.. but their r/3dsqrcodes is a great resource for rom hacks. Almost all the bigger Pokemon ROM hacks are on there, I've got Super Mario that's been turned into The Call of Cthulhu...
Oh fuck yes!
Yeah man it's insanely easy to pirate the games you want on the 3DS lmao! Great console for data hoarding.
