I have been thinking about picking one up

I think it's unable to make you earn cheevos using it. :-P

[lilbud]

@obsidianspider I just hacked my old 3DS, the process is simple as long as you follow directions. If you have an old 3ds, you are limited to NES, Genesis, GB and GBC.

@lilbud
does it have internet connection?

is it able to run RetroArch?

[meleu]

answering my own question:

is it able to run RetroArch?

I think yes. Look here:

[lilbud]

@meleu Yes, you have internet connection

Retroarch runs like Internet Explorer. You'd be better off running another emulator like BlargSNES.

Take it easy bro, there's no need to be so offensive! :-)

Thanks for the info.

[obsidianspider]

@meleu I've still yet to look into those RetroAchievements. :)

[obsidianspider]

@lilbud Did you go CFW or just add Homebrew?

[lilbud]

@obsidianspider The whole enchilada. Full CFW and Homebrew

[Darksavior]

@lilbud "SNES9x for Old 3DS" is a better option than blargsnes and it's still alive. It got an update last month.

[celly]

@lilbud which method did you use, if you don't mind me asking. On my daughters 3DS, we use the Ninjhax to get to the homebrew and emulators (11.3.0-ish firmware).

[obsidianspider]

Sweet. I have a bid on an auction that ends on Tuesday that comes with some games and a case. If I can get into one for under $100 I'll do it.

[lilbud]

@celly I used ninjhax as well, now all I need is a flash cart

@obsidianspider New 3DS or Old 3DS?

New 3DS can be hacked but the chance of a brick is higher

[obsidianspider]

@lilbud New 3DS. I'll DM you the link on Twitter.

Now I will try to play with python and try to implement what I commented in this topic.

I've made it. Testers, please!

@meleu @obsidianspider How do you get the builds? I am new, but using this forum, I plan to make a NES build out of my old NES that isn't working.

What do you mean? Builds of what?

[CodeDrawer]

@obsidianspider Sorry in your name, it says the builds you made. Are they like achevments?

[obsidianspider]

@CodeDrawer It's just a set of links to the things I've assembled. Well, two of the five are done. ;)
