So I'm in Israel, jet lagged as gently caress, and woe be it upon me to discover my 3DS refuses to charge here with a regular adaptor. I bought a voltage converter but it doesn't appear to be the correct one. Seriously gently caress Nintendo for not including such a simple thing in their charger. I just want to get my SMTIV fix to help me sleep  any advice, y'all? Does the 3DS XL suffer from this as well?

Ok guys, I have a problem. I took the 4 GB SDHC card that came with my XL (Lexar brand, what the gently caress) and copied the files to my computer as a backup. I put it back into the 3DS, turned it on, and now it refuses to see it. WHAT THE gently caress DO I DO. Formatting the card with Panasonic's software sounds like a good idea but some weird stuff happened when I made the backup, which looks like it might have corrupted, and I have a LOT of precious save data there. Am I boned or what? I was Halfway through Mario & Luigi Dream Team.

Make sure that the label on the SD card wasn't changed. I think by default it's "NO NAME". When I migrated my content to a larger card it refused to work until I fixed the label.

Hey, is there any way to get the DLC costumes for Dead or Alive now that they aren't being offered on SpotPass anymore? Any trick I can do with an SD card to move them to another system that doesn't have them?

However, none of my games are there, so I'm redownloading Mighty Switch Force to check if my save files are still intact.  e: They aren't.  And I cant even copy files from the first card anymore x2

If you're like me and have been kicking yourself in the rear end because you couldn't ever find Cave Story 3D in stock and pissed out how outrageously expensive it is on eBay you're in luck! I was complaining to a friend how bad NIS America games are and while browsing what they've released I noticed they have Cave Story 3D new in stock for $40 http://store.nisamerica.com/Games/Cave-Story-3D

I just want to get my SMTIV fix to help me sleep Did you attempt to charge your 3DS straight from the wall before trying with voltage converters and USB chargers? You say both wouldn't work, but there's no reason they shouldn't except if you'd wrecked the handheld in advance. Israel uses 220-240v power like Europe, and the last time I tried to connect a 100v device it blew with a bang.

Seriously, gently caress Nintendo for not including an American to Israeli voltage converter in the base package. Everybody needs one! It's just common sense! I'm sure that any nearby electronics shop sells what you need, and probably for less than five American dollars. Hell, they probably have them in the hotel.

I'm kind of flabbergasted that you guys seem unaware of how many chargers DO handle voltage conversions. I think my Nintendo handheld chargers are literally the only ones I own that don't. Even the Vita charger handles up to 240v.Sarchasm posted:Seriously, gently caress Nintendo for not including an American to Israeli voltage converter in the base package. Everybody needs one! It's just common sense! It's not just Israeli, you idiot, most of the world uses 240v. E: it's still pretty stupid to plug something in in a foreign country without checking the specs, though. They're printed on the charger for a reason. Rockman Reserve fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Aug 16, 2013 |

It's still foolish and entitled to expect Nintendo to pack in universal chargers with every 3DS. Edit: If your electronics all handle that conversion without any extra adapters, I'm very happy for you, but I feel like you're in the minority. I--like other posters above me--have lost a few devices by trying to plug a 110v device into a European socket. I don't think it's nearly as universal as you claim.

I wouldn't expect household electronics to be universal, but I most certainly expect that with portable devices. I haven't seen a single portable electronic gadget except for Nintendo's consoles that isn't - every laptop and tablet in production today comes with a universal charger, every cell phone and every camera with a built-in battery. The Vita and the PSP also do. Nintendo is the exception here, not the rule.

You're on a locked-down proprietary system, don't expect there to be any bypass solution for whatever stupid, arbitrary limits they enforce. I bet all licenses are stored in the main system storage, but you could backup the demo's data files, play once, restore backup and report back what happens.

ookiimarukochan posted:It's absolutely a sequel to Machi / 428 - just about everyone from 428 makes an appearance, some as cameos in the opening, but some as actually significant characters in the game. You can get away with having not played the first 2 games (I mean, I've still not played Machi so probably missed some references in 428) though - it's probably more important that you watch Back To The Future and read The Door Into Summer tbh. Well drat, I'd better get Time Travelers, then. I absolutely loved Machi (it's less refined than 428, but if you liked 428, you've got to play this)and 428, so I'll pull the trigger. I detested the Style Savvy-ish prettyboy anime look, though. Hearing that TT is a direct sequel to Machi and 428 means it will NEVER get localized, though. Such a rotten shame. I heard one of them was offered to a localization firm, but after five minutes of checking the gameplay, both the publisher and localizer exchanged looks, shook their heads, and nothing more was said about it. Man, I would've loved to have worked on them.

Just finished 100%ing all star coins and moon coins in NSMB2 (as Luigi). Whoever said it would be hard to 100% Star Road must be bad at Mario. I guess I'm basically done with this game now, unless I suddenly start not hating Coin Rush mode due to a severe blow to the head. If you buy this game, buy it used. Like, way used. It's at the very best a 20 dollar value.PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Here's the EU pre-order bonus for Harvest Moon: A New Beginning: That's literally some garbage you could buy off a deviantart teen or make yourself with generic beads.

For the 3DSXL, yes. They still sell "official" 3DS chargers seperately though (here in the EU as well), and of course the chargers that came with the regular 3DS and old DS consoles were 110~240V, too.
