I have minecraft CIA and this is the only game that does this.

I updated my 3ds using the new guide however when I try to play this game I get the message

"this is new nintendo 3d software it cannot be used on this system"

Do I need to do something else? I there a way I can play new 3ds games on the old 3ds?

Nope it's impossible to play new 3ds exclusive games on an original 3ds sorry.

How about the same error message but with SNES injections? Is there an option I can change in Super Ultimate Injector?
They use software emulation so you can only use Nintendo's official SNES emulator on a N3DS. However, IIRC, there are homebrew emulators that work on the O3DS as well.

your only two options might be retroarch, which I hear sucks on the 3ds, or the supercard dstwo through its normal menu or twilight menu. it has an snes emulator, which I haven't tried. its gba emulator is pretty good, but it can be sluggish.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

twilight menu may also have an emulator (not sure). I've only tested the gb emulator on it. it works quite well, but I have issues in the past where the system would black or red screen when exiting launcher. @Robz8 told me it's been fixed, so you may not encounter that.

Nah, there's no way to play the game on a old 3ds/2ds sadly. It's so stupid.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
