Heard of the Mario kart mod ctgp 7 and I'm interested, I heard its from universal updater, what should I know?

Also, I heard it had an anti cheat. In abotehr game, monster hunter stories I used a few plugins to just get a lot of items in my endgame save, could cheats in another game cause this anticheat to trigger?. Should I disable or remove rosalina altogether?

Does anyone know how or why my Activity Log book has suddenly jumped from the default 16 pages to 32 pages?

I like to see all my games in the activity log, and I've always had trouble organizing it so that all the random system apps wouldn't clog up the spaces available for games.

I've not installed any patch for the app ever and I don't know of one that added this functionality. I checked my other console (which is also modded) to check I wasn't crazy, and sure enough, it only has 16 pages in the activity log. The only stuff I've installed lately is SpotPassDumper9 which is completely unrelated, and a patch that removes the camera shutter sound. I downloaded an unofficial Activity Log called Cthulu last year, but I know that I've only had these extra pages as of very recently (I only noticed now)

I guess that I have added some more games to the Activity Log recently, so my only possible theory could be that the app automatically doubled the amount of pages because I was starting to get close to filling up the total 128 slots that the first 16 pages have available. Does anyone have any knowledge about what's happened here?

Hey guys!

As you may all know, the Big N soon will shutdown all online services for the 3DS family and the Wii U. Surprising? Not much. But hurts nonetheless.

Though I personally don't really use actively my 3DS (and I also sold out from it a long time ago, still have 2, somewhat functioning O3DSs *:waiting to be repaired), I couldn't help but dust off my working* console and went online.

Apart from the nerdgasm I had (since, 7 is my absolute favorite Mario Kart in every possible way) I couldn't help but notice how fucking awful the online was. Same 4-5 japanese dude, fully packed with cheats and hacks.

My heart was broken, but all that doesn't matter. This is why I'm kinda OK with the shutdown, tho I don't know about the other games. I mean, Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, these all will be gone, and I'm sure lots of people have similar feelings towards their games like I do to MK7. So saying this could sound pretty harsh, but if this is the case with the other games as well - and the Wii U's also a pretty open and used book for hacks nowadays - maybe... it's really time. Honestly, it's just WILD how online gaming on the 3DS (and probably on the Wii U as well) works from today's standpoint.

But I just got off-tracks.

What I really wanted to talk about and just wanted to give a little bit of context for this, is Pretendo.

https://pretendo.network/

If you don't know about Pretendo, it's an open-source Nintendo Network implementation. Basically, you can create a PNID here on the normal way you would create an NNID on your machine, and all your 3DS online services are now routed to Pretendo. Currently, some games, but at least Mario Kart 7 online works, pretty much flawlessly (except Friend functions). But it's real, it works, it's amazing... just really empty.

You can find the list of the compatible games and their states.

It even has some kind of Miiverse alternative too up and running, called Juxtaposition.

Using a modded console, it's just a matter of installing a title. https://pretendo.network/docs/install
You can change between Pretendo and Nintendo here.

Though use it at your own risk, as any homebrews that mess with the system in one or another way.

I'm maybe just too excited, but the online services will be killed off anyway, and I just love MK7 way too much, so I'm glad these people made it possible to run custom servers for it.

What do you guys think about it?

Are there any homebrew apps that can hack in items and stuff or edit saves without needing an external PC?

Mainly I want to give my monster hunter stories save some items

1. UniversalUpdater This is like a package manager for HB Apps that also provides an easy way to update them.

2. Checkpoint/JKSM Save manager for games. Always good to backup save data or to extract them for editing.

3. TWL Patcher Featured in my last post, DS game upscale and widescreen patches.

4. Pretendo/Nimbus Custom online play server from the pretendo community.

5. Anemone3DS Theming tool for 3DS HomeMenu. With direct download support and QR code scanner. Very convenient

6. Fast PlayCoin Set your playcoin count to 300 instantly. Also possible with JKSM

7. FBI Title Manager and installer, also with QR code and URL support.

8. ftpd pro FTP provider for 3DS, my go to tool to transfer files.

9. GYTB Custom HomeMenu Badges

10. ModMoon Mod manager for 3DS.

So, I have a save file on a 3ds, its my now nodded 3ds

Can I make a backup of the save file to other devices and maybe decrypt it for possible use elsewhere?
