I'm very late to this party, but...I just read about this emulator. I run emulators for various systems on my r4i 3ds gold flashcart, but I have not yet had luck running handy, have not even seen anything to boot it up on my 3ds. Is this emulator able to work on a flashcart, or does it need to be run on a hacked 3ds only? (Or, did I just mess up a step in the installation?)

i have the .cia file, but for some reason, so far, my 3ds has not seen it when i place it on my flashcart, as it reads other emulators no problem

all the emulators i run have a .ds file extension. when i load the handy.cia file, even in the root of my card with my flashcart, the system doesn't even see it, nor does it see it in the included folders for the emulator

the cia file is a installable file for FBI. Your flashcart is never going to recognize or run it.

I'm... That's because a CIA file is something you install on a 3ds that is hacked. If you're using a ds flashcard you won't get this to work, I don't know if there is a handy emulator for nds or not but look in the nds section, or google it

that's what i opened my discussion here with...asking if a .cia file will work on a flashcart, or only on a hacked console

it requires userland entrypoint access on the console. So running .3dsx files is still somewhat against what you are hoping for with using the just cart itself.
sounds like this emulator is somewhat different from all the others i use. is userland entrypoint somehow possible using my flashcart?

its more a type of console hacking which requires entrypoints into it. Which I believe was likely to be something your not wanting to get into.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
