So yeah as the title says, my NFC / Amiibo seem to have just stopped working on my n3ds emunand 9.5.

Anyone had this happen out of nowhere?

Only noticed as i just got the Mewtwo and 30th anniversary modern mario and went to register them on my 3ds and i get nothing when touched on the screen etc. :(

The amiibo's aren't at fault as i tested with my other n3ds and no problem scanning them.

Kinda weird...

Maybe try to start over with a new emunand?

Otherwise, I guess your nfc hardware is toast.

I think you may be right. :(
Tried with an earlier nand backup (9.0) injected into emunand, updated to 9.5, still no response when putting amiibo on the screen. :(
Strange though because last time i used it (probably a couple of weeks ago) it was fine...grr

And I'm guessing the NFC isn't something i can just swap in from another system either is it? (that would be too easy)...

Have you turned on Wi-Fi?
Really? lol
I'm not that dumb. :P That's like the old "did you try turning off and on again" line. haha
Anyway, i have no idea what it was, so i opened it up to see it something had somehow come loose or something and apparently something had because after putting it all back together it's working fine. No idea, it was strange.

Heh sorry, no offense intended. It caught me out on picross 3D 2 the first time, but mostly because I couldn't read the Japanese message.

are you sure it wasnt the wifi setting? :P because it gets activated automatically again after you remove the battery

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    People always yap about oh but you loose pixels but yeah it won't look awful either
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like filters :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Filters are why you don't go on 2nd dates
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I swear if I hear "I don't usually do this on the first date" on more time... I am going to start counting
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I bought you McDonald's even tho you lied about your pics I still deserve this
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    No no continue, I hear these things women say so often I decided to start counting

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
