  • Nerrel's Majora's Mask N64 HD Texture Pack has been released!
    2 projects | /r/emulation | 2 Oct 2021
    When this project started the 3DS version was inferior to the N64 one due to a large number of issues (mostly addressed in Project Restoration. There is currently a community effort underway to port Nerrel's work to the 3DS version, and while some of it translates directly, other parts need to be reconsidered due to lighting and texture placement changes.

    You might be interested in the project restoration for MM3D by leoetlino. It restores Zora Link's original swimming, removes eyes on the first 3 bosses, fixes ice arrows, improves controls and more. It basically makes MM3D the definitive edition of the game as it should have been from the start.
  • Are there cool things can I add to my 3DS besides games and themes?
    2 projects | /r/3dspiracy | 12 Jul 2021
    Anyways, Majora's Mask on the N64 was a masterpiece, but the remake on the 3DS made it worse, by removing beloved features, adding hated features, and not bothering to add improvements to annoyances in both the original and the remake. Luckily, a developer made a patch to remove the hated features, restore the beloved features and add quality of life improvements. There's the info here restoration.zora.re and you can get it from here github.com/leoetlino/project-restoration.

  • Fbi/homebrew won’t let me install game

    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.
  • I'm confused about updating my luma/home brew for 3DS. I'm on version 11.0. Do I need to delete all of my previous mod files and mod my whole 3DS again to get version 12.0.1?

    I can't speak to why Universal-Updater doesn't show the latest version of Luma3DS available for download and installation, but you can update Luma3DS to the latest version yourself manually quite easily as explained in my first reply. Have no worries, you didn't mess anything up.
  • HELP!!!

    Basically, you'll want to download the .Cia and .3dsx files for FBI from the FBI GitHub. Open a default installed app that you never use (the AR one for me). Then press L+Dpad down+select to open the Rosalina menu. In the Rosalina menu select "Miscellaneous options" then "Switch the hb. title to the current app". Next close the Rosalina menu, close and reopen the app. It will open as the homebrew launcher. At this point you can open the FBI.3dsx from the homebrew launcher and use it to install the FBI.cia. You'll be up and running and be able to install whatever you need at this point. I recommend the Universal-Updater to open up your options.

  • Can't find Anemone title or others on home screen. I could use some help.
    2 projects | /r/3dspiracy | 31 Jan 2023
    Was anemone ever on your homescreen? If it's installed it should be listed in "Titles" on the main menu of FBI. If you can't find it anywhere you can download it from universal dB on your 3ds, if you don't have universal dB either go here and you can either remote install it by scanning the qr code through FBI, or you can download the .cia file put it in your cia folder of your SD then install it from there through FBI

    So one thing I would try first is to update nds-bootstrap and see if that alone fixes it. You might consider installing Universal Updater to...update things (even Luma if you need to and you can uninstall Luma Updater, it doesn't work anymore).
  • Is there an app to watch movies/tv shows available on the 3ds?
    3 projects | /r/3dspiracy | 22 Jan 2022
    Either download and install the .cias from their individual GitHub sites or install Universal-Updater 3DS app. https://universal-team.net/projects/universal-updater.html

    You can then update FBI to the latest version. You'll probably also want to grab Universal-Updater for all updates to apps. It's awesome.

    Download and install Universal-Updater, open the app, choose TWiLightMenu++ and nds-bootstrap from the list of available apps. The updater will take care of the rest.
