I don't know if it was covered, but on a Mac, you can just copy your old SD card over to the desktop, then swap cards and copy the contents back over to the new one.

I just did it, no bootcamp or windows or anything special required.

I've heard it can take SDHC but NOT SDXC cards, so that could be your problem.

I tried two SDHC cards and an SDXC formatted to FAT32, none worked

Rexroom posted:

Other than that error, can it read and write data on the card?

No, I'll take it back in shortly. So annoying, it took a lot of the excitement out of the ORAS launch for me :(

I'm excited for homebrew because this is very similar to how homebrew on the Wii started.

First an exploit, then a launcher, then great emulation + usb loading support.

There was something about it not working on a Mac or some crazy poo poo with the OS X filesystem that you needed to use Windows for, just confirming OS X works fine.

The game has to be enhanced for New 3DS to take advantage of the power. Only Smash does that right now, but a lot of devs are mentioning they'll patch in support.

Cubic Ninja's used price went up to $40

E: I wonder what that did to the trade in value?

It's also available at all the stores in my area now where as it wasn't before. I wonder if they withheld copies once they knew what was up or they had them at a warehouse somewhere and shipped them out everywhere to capitalize on this.

ORAS is using the X/Y engine so it's likely they've just not upgraded it for it (or will ever) so they could shove it out the door to cash grab on old games

Runs and looks fine. Blarg and 3DS Paint are the only things available right now as .3dsx files. Outside of that, Blarg has no sound. Not yet, at least. I give it a day.

Also, since we're semi on the topic of Earthbound, I've been using this Control improvement hack that turns A into the L interaction button and makes the controls modern.

http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Community/PKHack/Control-Improvement/

Emulators are within the rules, yeah?

Unofficial/nightly compiles of the emulators.

The homebrew channel is installed to the game, you need to use the game each time.

The worst part about all this bullshit is I actually wanted to buy Cubic Ninja for non-homebrew reasons and now it's impossible to find for a reasonable price after years of lining bargain bins.

That's too bad, I thought it was just for install like with Twilight Princess on the Wii. I'm not even mad, now I'm just interested to see where the price stabilizes for copies

The SNES emulator isn't the only thing to get so far. There's also a GameBoy / GameBoy Color emulator that works flawlessly. Make sure your blargSNES is version 1.19 and it should be from that 3dbrew or whatever site a few posts up. It has sound and runs quite well. Some games don't launch, though. It's got some kinks to work out but this is a great start!

How do you get BlargSNES to appear in the homebrew menu? I copy the folder across like he says, but it doesn't show up in the list.

E: Figured it out, If anyone else has this problem change the folder name from blargSnes_1.1 to blargSnes.

I got the New 3DS today, and while the 3D effect is real good, the auto-brightness feature is super finicky and changes for no real reason. Like I'll move it slightly closer to my face and it'll decide to change the brightness. Whenever you guys get them, you'll want to turn it off right away.

How do you compare the screen quality to the regular model? I am curious to know if there are any other improvements, image-quality wise, despite the same resolution.
