What's new?
You've asked, we listened, and we've finally implemented a feature thought to be impossible!
Previously, we've added support for running DSiWare on DS via nds-bootstrap, and now, we've added support for running 3DS games on DSi, via 3ds-bootstrap!
Please note that 3ds-bootstrap is not available separately, and is in a beta state, so very few games are known to work.
Because we can't do all the testing ourselves, we ask you, our community, to test out any 3DS games you have and let us know if they boot or not, in order for us to make any improvements!
Remember to enable Logging in the nds-bootstrap page of TWiLight Menu++ Settings, so we get a better idea of how to improve things!
Some games that are known to work are:
- HarmoKnight
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
- Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
- Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
- Mighty Switch Force
- New Super Mario Bros. 2
- Pokemon Rumble Blast
- Super Mario 3D Land (pictured on the right)
- Style Savvy: Trendsetters
- Style Savvy: Styling Star (pictured on the left)
