Fortunately, injecting ROMs of various games to run on the 3DS is super simple and mostly involves fiddling with some 3rd-party converters. Yes, the restrictions were likely due to licensing reasons, but I can still be sad about the lack of old school Enix games. I am/was a big fan of the library of Virtual Console games Nintendo offered during the 3DS’s lifespan, though I was also more than a little disappointed by the lack of availability of certain ‘classic’ SNES JRPGs and keeping the GBA games locked to a select few games for Ambassadors. No, I do NOT have enough time to play all of these, I just enjoy having options There’s a significant labor of love involved in fan translations for 3DS games given the complexity of coding and file structure, but they offer significant experiences. Other fan translations include MapleStory: The Girl of Destiny, Puyopuyo Chronicle, and Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode. Most valuable to me are the translations for the Dragon Quest Monsters spin-off’s that got passed over for official localization, including Joker 3 and the 3DS remakes of the GBC games. Fortunately, these games, among others, have been preserved on hShop for the hopefully foreseeable future, and can be easily downloaded through QR codes using the 3DS’s scanner.Ī hacked 3DS also gains the ability to run fan translated games, many of which are also hosted on the aforementioned hShop. On a smaller note, indie puzzle-action game Dodge Club Pocket was delisted earlier this year for reasons outside of the creator’s control. Similarly, Etrian Mystery Dungeon and the 3DS port of Zero Time Dilemma were delisted due to an expired licensing deal between Spike Chunsoft and Atlus. For example, Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy was quietly delisted from the eShop, likely to avoid cannibalizing sales of its Switch port. Additionally, archiving sites have been helpful for various 3DS games that have been delisted over the years for various reasons. Sites like hShop are contextually important for accessibility purposes, especially with physical cartridges becoming hot commodities amongst collectors, in turn driving up prices (see: various Atlus games on the console). I assure you we will be back on track soon.Game preservation and piracy tend to go hand in hand, and I’m not going to debate the ethics of archival sites like hShop, especially in the context of a discontinued handheld console with an impending digital store discontinuation. Please, I ask you for a little more patience. I'm sorry for the lack of visual updates and videos but I had way too much stuff going on in real life.īut as I said, this is temporary. The bottom line is: The projects are NOT dead and are still pretty much underway. I have a rehabiliation period of at least another week, then I can resume working on projects.Īnother news is that since I was able to quit one of my part time jobs now, having only 1 part time left till the end of the month, I got more free time on my hands now. Right now my vision is blurry and I have trouble writing this post, but I didn't want to let you in the dark for that long. Two weeks ago I went to the doctors to have a second follow up surgery, which was carried out. And here's why: Some of you may recall, that I had an eye surgery last year, that didn't go so well. It's been quite a while since I posted something.
