  • I’ve just noticed something extra: As I said before, if I select English as a language, then “Undetermined” becomes deselected, yet the content still remains viewable. Well, I’ve just figured out why the content remains viewable: It’s because “Undetermined” for some reason gets automatically re-selected; it’s just that you can’t see that it’s happened unless you refresh the whole settings page (after saving).

    I think the whole language section of the settings needs a redesign, because this is very confusing.



  • Thanks, but no. I’ve realised now that I accidentally deselected English as a language option and saved changes (I saved changes because I was testing the “Auto expand media” option). But I was a bit mislead by the little note above the languages which says “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.”. It made me think that I needed to make sure that “Undetermined” is selected in order to keep seeing most content, because that’s what it sounds like in its wording. So I re-selected “Undetermined” and saved changes, and it caused my posts to disappear; I just didn’t notice immediately because I was busy transferring my subscriptions from this account over to my new one. I’m still not sure what that note was trying to say, but I’ve fixed it now by selecting English.

    What makes it a bit more confusing is that when I select English, “Undetermined” becomes deselected, which is what the note is telling you not to do; this must be what compelled me to select “undetermined”, because selecting anything else deselected “Undetermined”. It’s only after you save and completely refresh the page, that “Undetermined” suddenly becomes re-selected again, but English also remains selected at the same time.


  • Thankyou, that fixed it! Didn’t realise I had done that. On the web client, there’s a little note above the languages list that says “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.” This confused me because I thought it was saying that “undetermined” needed to be selected in order to see most content. So after clicking another language, I re-selected “Undetermined” to make sure the language would remain as it was. So I think the wording of the little note mislead me and caused me to do the wrong thing. I clicked “Save” after that, not knowing that I’d disabled English posts.

    I still don’t fully understand that little note, because if I select English, then “Undetermined” is automatically deselected; but I still see most content (including what’s on my profile). But if I specifically select “Undetermined” and save the changes, than the posts become invisible, even though that’s what the note seemed to be trying to make sure I did.

    The note seems to be saying “Keep Undetermined selected” in order to keep seeing most content, while in reality, selecting “Undetermined” makes most content disappear. Do you see what I’m trying to say?

    Edit: Re-worded some of the second paragraph and split it into two, because I had an incomplete sentence that didn’t make sense. Oops; ironic.



  • Another cool one is an unofficial YouTube client app called ThirdTube which is pretty cool (and has 3D video playback if the video itself supports it). There’s an emulator for the Virtual Boy called Red Viper which just had a huge update recently, which made every game in the entire consoles library run accurately at full speed (and even the 3D from the original Virtual Boy works too!). You can add custom themes to your main menu with the app Anemone3DS and can make a backup of the save data for each of your games onto your SD card with an app called Checkpoint. They’re all my favourites; otherwise I haven’t explored a large amount of what is on offer still.







  • Hey, even though I’m not officially part of this project, I’m sorry to say that at least for the period of April 6, at 12PM to 4PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), the maintainer of the server mistakenly didn’t see that the server had run out of storage space. This means that any dumps made by anyone within this time period didn’t actually get archived in the end. The exact amount of time is unknown. This 4 hr period is just the least amount of time the server was down for, so for all he knows, it could have been for the entire day of April 6th up until 4PM in the afternoon (PDT). Again, even though this wasn’t because of me, I’m sorry about this. If you can, could you please make the dump one last time if possible? As the archive servers are now working correctly again.

  • Hey, thanks so much for dumping both of your consoles. Unfortunately, even though I’m not officially part of this project, I’m sorry to say that at least for the period of April 6, at 12PM to 4PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), the maintainer of the server mistakenly didn’t see that the server had run out of storage space. This means that any dumps made by anyone within this time period didn’t actually get archived in the end. The exact amount of time is unknown.

  • Edit: Scrap that. I just found out that notifications aren’t able to be archived :(

    I heard that some stuff can still install via SpotPass in the background without your knowledge. I’m not sure how true that is, but I do know that since the notifications are sent through SpotPass, you might also have some news articles that need archiving too (and their are region-specific articles too). I have a 2DS too as a secondary console, so I dumped my data from it as well just because I have some Australia/New Zealand exclusive ones.
