thanks for the quick reply

sorry but after reading a bit more i have a few more questions

i just googled libfat and libslim, but how would i switch between them?
You don't. The switch would be done on our side, and would be included in a later release, if it goes well.
also i just downloaded and installed the cia from the latest release but nothing came up on the menu, do i need the first one too?
What do you mean "first one"? "3DSBank.cia" is the only one you need.
Try rebooting the console to make it appear in the 3DS HOME Menu.
and lastly if i already have games installed on my original nintendo 3ds folder and dont need to move them, i should be fine to just make more and put different ones on the new ones without any problems right?

thanks
Yes.

Hi, just moved and increased the library thanks and on this tool.
In its semplicity it's pretty powerfull and well working , but the restrictions from the nand in the homescreens managing are really annoing. Two in particular:
1 folders can't be used in sigle home-copy cause they apper always shared between homescreens
2 and the same with dsiware shortcuts that cannot be organized cause they appears in all homescreens and in the same positions

Have someone any suggestion or solution to avoid these problems?

In particoular to manage the dsiware.
For what I read around it seams impossible to install or forward them -aviable- from the nand to sd,
but could be at least a way to hide the "shortcuts" from an homescreens or other?

For point 2 you could use YANBF, it makes 3DS app forwarders so they're on your SD

I'm already using it to forward DS roms, but it seams not working with DsiWare.nds. Red cross in gui when trying. For them could it work with different steps than normal roms?

Ah, you need to manually provide a banner image – since DSiWare have no boxart
Probably missed in the thread... Thank you very much for the tip. Now to learn also how to make banners, but good to know it could work! Since we are talking about banners... I just understood I can edit banners' text on .nds with crystaltile2 to have them changed after cia conversion (even if this always brakes the dsiware.nds 🤷🏽). But... can't I modify banners' text more easily and perhaps directly on the cia? For instance on the 3DSbank banner too

NDS Banner Editor is the best program (currently) for editing DS banners, though it requires the raw banner not the whole ROM. I think MessAnimDSIco can edit banners without needing to repack the ROM.

Ok, what about installing a game that I own on my first home menu, and then install it again on my second home menu?
Should also work fine.
How would I install FBI, Checkpoint, Anemone, Homebrew Launcher, and Universal Updater on a separate home menu?
You need to first launch a title, then open Rosalina menu to switch the current title to hb, exit Rosalina menu, then re-launch the title.

    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
