Hello my friends, and welcome to another episode of 3DSCast! This time we sit down with dwalker109, creator of the amazing game save cloud backup service, Cloudpoint!

We wax and wane about how amazing the 3DS is, how new dwalker is to the 3DS family, the joy it brings, the challenges in saving its games, and much more. It’s a very fun and, at times, technical discussion, but we love getting in the weeds like that, don’t we?

Thank you so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy the show. Until next time, happy and joyful gaming, and take care of yourselves and your systems.

Hello my friends, and welcome to this episode of 3DSCast. In this episode, we sit down with Sorunome, the creator and lead programmer of NetPass!

If you’re unaware, NetPass allows StreetPass data to be exchanged via the Internet, rather than needing to be physically near another 3DS console, which is how it was originally designed. We take a deep dive into how NetPass works, as well as how it uses existing StreetPass protocols to make it work.

It’s a fascinating and educational discussion, in which I learned a ton, and I hope you do to. Thanks so much for listening, and enjoy the show!

Hello my friends, and welcome to another episode of 3DSCast! In this one, we have our first interview!! I sit down with Luigoalma, the primary mind behind Cleaninty, which you can read about on GitHub or the Hacks Guide Wiki.

Cleaninty is the software that allows SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) transfers. What this means is if you mod your 3DS, and then change its region, this process allows you to make sure you retain access to your E-Shop account and Nintendo Network ID, or NNID.

We talk about Cleaninty and a whole mess of other technical amazingness. It’s almost a primer for the hardware and software mess that is the 3DS, and the geniuses that worked their way around those messes to create the homebrew mods we use and love today.

It’s a very deep dive, one I was fascinated to listen to, as I learned so much. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did, and I thank you for listening!

P.S. Apologies for mispronouncing the name of the podcast in the beginning. I’m still new at this.
