    Hshop is basically the only one and has all 3DS games. If you're looking for NDS games you need twilightmenu with roms from somewhere like vimm's
  • ROMs on 3ds??
    1 project | /r/Roms | 10 Jul 2023
    DS games can be loaded on a 3DS via a program called TWiLightMenu. If you need help with installing and using it, make sure to read the available documentation. If after that you still need help, ask in more related subreddits, i.e. r/3dshomebrew or similar.
  • AMCS (b23062023dt) now available to try from our official website.
    1 project | /r/AMCS | 5 Jul 2023
    If you're running AMCS on the DS with an R4 card, autoload the TwilightMenu++ with NDS-Bootstrap, as the official R4 firmware doesn't cleanly launch homebrew. - TwilightMenu++

    If you've got a 3DS / DSi, there's also the option of using homebrew to play DS roms on it...then you're essentially playing PMD on native hardware! Look into TwiLight Menu++ (3DS will require loading custom firmware such as Luma3DS) if you're interested.
  • Help for GBA games?
    1 project | /r/3dspiracy | 14 Jun 2023
    Find the game as a rom, put it into your roms folder on your SD card, (should be /ROMS/GBA), install TwilightMenu++, an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface.

    TwilightMenu++ is an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. This should let you run NDS, NES, and SNES games without any additional plugins.

    Alternatively, you can use TwilightMenu++, which is an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. However, I don’t like using it on the 3DS. If yours is broken, try downloading it again from the Universal Updater app or try this.

    If you want up to 40 Nintendo DS game icons "installed" on your 3DS Home Menu, you need to use another homebrew app called NDS Forwarder Generator. You can find and download it from the Universal Updater homebrew app.
  • Downloading DS games on 3DS
    2 projects | /r/3dspiracy | 13 Jun 2023
    Use NDSForwarder. Download from your computer or open the Universal Updater app and you can find it in there (use the one by MechanicalDragon). Alternatively, use YANBF.

    1. Get an R4 flashcart, THE YEAR ON THE CARD DOES NOT MATTER! Install ysmenu+rgf kernel, get it [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/). 2. Use a [DS Forwarder](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174/) to put a DS game on your homescreen. We recomended either [NDSForwarder](https://github.com/MechanicalDragon0687/NDSForwarder) or [YANBF](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-yet-another-nds-bootstrap-forwarder-more-than-40-forwarders-are-now-possible.606138/). You may need to [AP patch the roms](https://gbatemp.net/threads/ap-patch-preservation.477536/). 3. Install [Twilight Menu++](https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/twilightmenu/installing-3ds.html) which is an application that, when opened, looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. If your app is broken, try downloading it again from the Universal Updater app or [try this](https://www.reddit.com/r/3dspiracy/comments/10tr9hj/twilight_menu_white_screen/j7eqy0u/).

  • is there a mod/hshop copy that you can get first party DS games
    1 project | /r/3dspiracy | 24 Apr 2023
    Ghost Eshop for most nds games. The other option is Vimms lair to get the rom and then use nds forwarder to put the game from your sd card to your 3ds Home Screen. https://github.com/MechanicalDragon0687/ndsForwarder
