NINTENDO 3DS

aka the coolest handheld ever made !!!! at least ,,,, in my heart !!!

the original 3ds released in north america on march 27th, 2011 ! i dont remember when i got my original one, but i loved it dearly . my mom eventually got me minecraft for the 3ds, but it required the n3ds, so ,,, i ended up getting the galaxy n3dsxl that i still have 2 this day !!! and im so glad i never gave her away, because the 3ds has such good modding potential ! with an amazing game library and a wonderful homebrew scene, its a really charming device and i love it with my whole heart !

this page will mostly be resources and occasional blogs about my own endeavors modding my 3ds, who ive named Throne :3

(thank u 2 oddity commoddity 4 letting me use ur 3ds stamp yaaay :3)

The Great Sleep Mode Issue

For quite a while now--pretty much ever since my dad fucked around with our wifi--my 3ds has been having some major issues with connecting to the wifi . its been spotty, or just wont connect at all . it caused issues such as getting stuck on loading screens, freezing, and i mean i kind of need wifi to use stuff like universal updater . this was a major tragedy to me, and for a long while ive just assumed it to be an issue with all the dumb restrictions the wifi has .
but, for a while, ive also been having a worse issue -- my 3ds gets stuck in sleep mode . constantly .
this, to me, is even worse . if i close my 3ds without thinking while playing a game, that could be hours of progress lost, and im forced to hold down the power button to reboot (which is a pain, considering how shallow the n3dsxls power button is) . ive been hoping this wasnt a hardware issue, but for a long while, thats what it was looking like . every single search online was ass old, and telling to just send it back to nintendo for repair, which obviously isnt a thing that can really be done anymore .

and then, just last night, it struck me . the wifi and sleep mode issues seem to be happening at the same time, could they be related ? it sounded absurd . it STILL sounds absurd . the thought came to me in the early hours of the A.M., between a frenzy of manic and depressive emotions . i didnt think much of the idea, until i dwelled on it this afternoon, just before writing this .

Luma3DS ?

my first place to look was the Luma3DS github page, to see if anybody had reported wifi issues as of late . at this point, i hadnt given my thought of the wifi and sleep mode problems being connected any real confidence, it still sounded a bit too far fetched . however, since upgrading to the latest ver of Luma so i could get CTGP7, my 3ds has been freezing up and refusing the properly boot much more than she ever has . so, i figured this would be a good place to start .

to my mild surprise, there were infact people having wifi connection issues with luma as of recently ! score ! but no true, concrete fix ,,, i tried forcing connection to slot 1, which simply wouldnt work . when i tried slot 2, the console froze . this was beginning to seem like a dead end, so i journeyed on, instead searching along the lines of "Luma 3ds not coming out of sleep mode"
and what i found made my eyes pop out of my stupid fucking head

I'm Not That Stupid, Apparently !

one of the very first results was a reddit thread from 5 years ago, detailing my EXACT issues, and proving my dumbshit theory about the wifi connection and sleep mode issues being related TRUE ! i was astounded . throughout all of this, i was texting a friend on discord (hi alastor i love u) and liveblogging all this bullshit on tumblr . i decided to run a small test, to see if this reddit users 5 year old issue solved could still help me today .

so it IS an issue with the wifi !!! i stressed every single time she got hung up in sleep mode, dreading a hardware issue being the cause ! but the whole time, it WAS the wifi that was the issue !!! my hatred for my dads choice in messing with the wifi has been justified once more !!!! huzzah !!!!!
i felt so stupid, though . all this time and i didnt bother to see if it was simply a firmware issue ! while i cant fix the wifi, thats my dads problem, at least i know somewhat of what the fuck is actually going on with my 3ds . now i wanna take a nap .

no images this time, bc im too tired, but ive been doing some fun stuff recently !! been progressing in yume nikki, tried out lsd dream emulator, AND finally downloaed ctgp7 !!! i love love LOVE MK7 so finally being able to play waluigi and use custom maps and FINALLY have vs races .. its nice ! :3 i like how simple it makes importing mods too, its nice ! i did have 2 get a diff version of luma for it which was big scary but it worked fine so yippee !!

if you wanna get lsd dream emulator, scan this QR with FBI . if you wanna get yume nikki, scan this QR with FBI . this is not the process i used, so if this doesnt work, you might need a bit more setup . just make sure you dont try to close the game through the home menu, this will crash your 3ds, close it through the ingame + in-app menus instead .
