sorry this is so long i just figred id share this cuz it was kinda goofy. uh so this morning i randomly got the motivation to try and get mother 3 onto my 2ds cuz ive been wanting to play it for a while now that i finished earthbound and it like Took Over My Brain but i hadnt been able to access my computer for a while, and finally got the chance to this morning. uh i then proceeded to spend 6 whole fucking hours trying to figure it out . i wanted it on my 2ds cuz its a lot more convenient (+ i just prefer playing rpgs on handheld its feels a lot cozier) and also i figured i could get it running natively or whatever which is always a nice bonus. but that ended up being a horrible idea that wasted so much time cuz the stupid injector program to convert the rom over to the right file type doesnt run on mac, so i spent literally like 3 hours straight trying to find alternatives or a way to run windows stuff on mac but all the stuff i /could/ find didnt even fucking run on mac anymore becuz of that stupid update that stops 32bit stuff from working . so then i was genuinely just gonna give up but i ended up caving in and asking my friend who had hacked my 2ds for me in the first place (and is also just way smarter and understands this kinda stuff a lot better than me) for some help and we ended up trying to get the cia installed via a qr code n shit but then it didnt work so then we installed mgba on the 2ds and when trying to transfer over the rom this error message id been getting for months abt storage space came up, and like for the longest time id thought it was to do with the storage space on the computer itself becuz thats how the popup worded it but no turns out the sd card itself was the issue so then i spent like an hour copying over everything to a larger sd card i thankfully happened to have and them we were like ‘oh shit the cia mustve not installed cuz of the storage space’ and so we spent ages trying to grt that to work too and then it just turned out that installing cias remotrly only worked on new3ds. so we wasted like a shit ton of time trying to get that to work but thankfully we got mgba working and my 2ds now has like way more storage space so it worked out lmao (did have to sacrifice the better preformance but i think itll be worth it most ppl play mother3 emulated anyways from what i understand
