My short story of (not) acquring Cubic Ninja:
  • Ordered Cubic Ninja online for 9€ on Monday. Sweet!
  • Got a reply from the shop on Wednesday, that it isn't in stock and won't be sold again due to pressure by Nintendo. FML #1
  • New prices online exploded already, thus costing around 40-50€. FML #2
  • So I called a local reseller, whether they have it in stock: They don't, but are able to get one from another store. They'd call back once I can pick it up. Price: 10€. Great!
  • Got a call on Saturday: It's here, ready to get picked up! So I drive to the store, get handed the copy of the game and happily hand over those 10 bucks. YAY!
  • Back in my car, I unwrap the already damaged plastic wrapping and open up the box: The cartridge is missing. Someone stole it from inside the box. FML #3
  • Back to the shop, I return the game, or rather the packaging of the game, and get my 10€ back. Now the game costs 80-90€ online. FML #4
Bottom line:
Fuck this... I'll wait for the next hack!

If the game is one time use only, I'll gladly sell mine to your or something.

How do you get the homebrew launcher to work without rescanning the qr code? Every time i hit my data the game crashed and the system restarts.

Well drat, I can try checking some areas around me. To das internetz!
I'd need a PAL copy mate, that darn 3DS is region locked, so not much of a point looking in the US for a copy. thanks for the offer though

P.S. fuck those region locks. they have no point and just suck fucking much. FML!

Be sure your room is lightened enough and you pc screen is well centered while you attempt to scan your qr code. You may have to try some times before it works. Also, is you camera working properly? Does your game still respond while you are stuck on that screen?

Anyone try a system transfer with HB installed yet? I imagine it would go fine, but just wanna be sure. I maaaaay be able to test it myself, but no guarantees.

Also if the big N were to release an update, would I be able to load NINJAHAX without updating?

I think I found the problem ... it is written in the manual that the QR codes scan function is available only when the story mode is finished .

So I have only to play this horrible game ...;)

Thank you for your help !

Are any of the included apps supposed to have sound? I've downloaded and ran the blarg SNES emulator, along with a version that's said to support sound yet I don't hear anything.

I apologize if this has already been addressed but I searched for sound within the thread and there was nothing concrete that I saw.

It's working. Created a thread in the main forum as I wasn't sure this was the right place. I screwed up something trying multiple version of the emu. All good now.

I feel like a league of children will come here to call you a noob or to insult you to some degree to seem edgy and cool, so I'll drop this here. Use this version of BlargSNES to get sound. It's barely at its optimum stages, but the same goes for the official release too.

Thanks. Yeah I got it working and came back here to update/edit my comment. Appreciate the help!

Found out today that sound not currently working on any homebrew on New 3DS. Confirmed by smealum on Twitter on Nov 26.

"@richisawesome unfortunately homebrew can't output sound on N3DS yet, sorry."

Hi guys
Would like to express my thanks to all the people involved with the exploit, it sounds like great progress in making the 3DS an excellent portable for homebrew and retro game fans :)
I've just got myself a New 3DS XL and have done the QR code thing, Homebrew Launcher is working, although I've only launched the 3DSCraft at the moment.
I'll own up and admit I've not read through all the 98 pages of this thread, and was hoping that someone who has their finger on the pulse would be so kind to answer my question;

Is there a reliable place which lists emus we can use with this launcher, I've seen the homebrew highlights on smea's ninjhax webage, which mentions blargSnes and GameYob, are those the only 2 available at present or do others exist, like a Megadrive emu?

That's it, just looking for a list of available ones, or if it is just those two for now, confirmation.
I would love to be able to play my old Megadrive classics on this machine so hoping there is more.

It's my first 3DS device I've owned and I'm liking it, just have the cube ninja and mario game at the moment, but I love the mario series so looking forward to playing this one through to completion, thanks :yaynds:

http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Applications is a good list of available homebrew including emulators. No Megadrive/Genesis available yet. Current obstacle with New 3DS model is lack of sound support in homebrew. Author of BlargSnes StapleButter has a good description of some of the barriers before sound is available on his emulator (and other homebrew). https://gbatemp.net/threads/blargsnes-snes-emulator-for-the-3ds-wip.369900/page-61#post-5192248

Thanks rygar, bookmarked that 3dbrew page to check back on from time to time, shame about the sound issue with the New 3DS models, perhaps in time someone will crack that problem.
No Megadrive, that's a shame too but at least the eShop has a few of my old favourites on the Megadrive and Game Gear, so can buy those still :)
