Tool news Theme Plaza now has a live test!

163 Upvotes

Thanks for all the input in the previous thread, quite a few things were taken and implemented/to be implemented.

You can now visit Theme Plaza and start trying it out, please note though that it's not a final product and yes I want you to break it/exploit it.

You can visit the site at: https://themeplaza.eu/

So off the bat, this is just a beta, when the site is finally finished themes that are uploaded will be deleted and it'll start from scratch again.

What I'm asking of you now is to try out the site, see if things feel user friendly and, if they don't, give us some feedback on how parts could be made better :)

Biggest thing I want done is for people to upload themes and try and break the site or find ways people could harm a 3ds with it.

If you upload a theme that could kill a 3ds or cause the home menu to break or whatever, please let me know in PM with the link to the offending item and let me know how it could break it. We do do some validation on things that are uploaded but as with most things, nothing is perfect.

NSFW filters are added and tag filters are also added but, in hind sight, I think I need to revisit the tag system as there's no consistency to it.

For tag searches, in the search bar do for example tag:pokemon along with any other search terms if you want and it'll return you all themes tagged as pokemon.

Likewise with NSFW, to filter NSFW content; the options are safe,sketchy,nsfw, so for example, skechy is borderline lewd, maybe a bit suggestive and so on. NSFW is basically, well, NSFW.

To enable viewing them, like tags, just do nsfw:all or nsfw:safe,sketchy or nsfw:nsfw etc.

We're still going with the review system, so an admin will need to approve your theme before it's displayed/searchable, so if you don't see it straight away, that's why!

Things that are missing but todo:

  • Proper account settings, so changing email address and so on
  • Downvoting
  • Helpers (like tag examples, nsfw searching helpers and so on)
  • Lots more stuff like checks and so on
  • Extended support for Luma and so on.

Thanks again to everyone that gave us feedback so far and encouragement, and thank you for helping test it :)

EDIT: We've got a Discord too if anyone is interested! https://discord.gg/2hUQwXz

Tool news I created a simple Backup & Sync Tool

88 Upvotes

I always wanted a more streamlined way to get my save files from my 3DS to my PC and back, so I decided to build a simple tool for it and wanted to share it with the community.

It's a small GUI application on Python that connects to FTPD on your console. No need for another tool on your 3DS just use your ftpd client. It lets you download or upload your save folders with a single click, and it automatically creates timestamped backups before it overwrites anything, so you never lose a save, even when you make a mistake.

Here are the main features:

  • One-Click Transfers: Simple "Download to PC" and "Upload to 3DS" buttons.
  • Automatic Backups: Always creates a backup of the destination (either PC or 3DS) before transferring files.
  • Dynamic Categories: You're not stuck with just 3DS/NDS/GBA. You can add, name, and remove your own save categories for different emulators or systems with custom paths.
  • Network Scan: If you don't want to type the IP, you can leave the field empty and it will scan your network for the 3DS/FTP-Server.
  • Works with Checkpoint: Designed to work with the folder structure created by Checkpoint for 3DS games, as well as simple folder structures for NDS/GBA saves. For 3DS Games: Please use Checkpoint on your console to export your save files first.

The whole thing is a single Python script, so you can see exactly what it does.

You can find it on GitHub here: https://github.com/Lokthran/3DS-Save-Sync

This was a learning project for me, so any feedback, bug reports, or suggestions are very welcome. Let me know what you think!
