Well, welcome back Retrogamefan xD. Though I still probably have no need for the files (xD I'm hopefully getting a DSTWO soon), I'm sure tons of the silent GBATemp lurkers are grateful for your return.

 

[Phoenix Goddess]

See everyone, being respectful goes a long way

Welcome back retro, thank you for staying strong (I don't have a DSTT, but after what you've been through, someone has to thank you for doing your best.)

[Lubbo]

cheers retro, am i able to get this to work on M3?

 

[Totoy_Kamote]

waiting for the v6.40..

 

[jurassicplayer]

cheers retro, am i able to get this to work on M3?

If you can find YSM3 then it should work...though I feel that redistributing YSM3 goes against the will of BOTH the people who made it possible, but it is still out there somewhere I think.

 

[owlman]

i love you, but i read that you needed a patched version of Last Window The Secret of Cape West in order for it to work.

"The following games must be PATCHED to work on a DSTT :

5213 - YLUP - Last Window The Secret of Cape West (E)(SUXXORS) PATCHED
5233 - BJ3E - Etrian Odyssey III The Drowned City (U)(HADOUKEN) PATCHED"

Does this mean that this wont work?
