As the title says, the DLC for Swapnote will disappear extremely randomly for me. Sometimes I have to download it once every day. Most recently, the DLC was there for two weeks, but tonight, POOF, the app thought I didn't have the DLC anymore, so I had to redownload it for the umpteenth time. The strangest thing, though, is that after I redownload the DLC, the app will recognize which colored pens I was using before the disappearance of the DLC. Is there something that can be done to prevent the game from "forgetting" that I already have the DLC downloaded from hshop?

This has happened to me with both Mario Golf and Streetpass Miiplaza over the years as well. I figured it must be spme sort of AP check.

Id say to be careful of some the more obscure title ids with these titles. Ive seen some on my 3ds get deleted with odd ids and most havent had any problems with them at all.

Swapnote is a proprietary title made by Nintendo, and naturally so is all the DLC. How could Swapnote even remotely get deleted off of my 3DS?

....yet your files keep disappearing? Dont exactly add up on that one now does it? And yea also say you got the DLC from hshop. which could mean you are getting one thats getting flagged.

If you have installed DLC for a game through a .cia, .hShop etc. for one or more games at any point, every time you open eShop the DLC for those games is wiped. Until/unless you delete the fake ticket from the CIA with FBI (since tickets are never deleted otherwise), which also means you lose the pirated DLC.
Best just to avoid opening the eShop as much as possible and keep the DLC CIAs handy on your SD for when you need them.
This might not be your issue but I remember this happening to me many times back in the day.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
