The Ace Attorney thread (hints and impressions)

For Ace Attorney fans, you know… all the games have been translated, except one (well, two now): Dai Gyakuten Saiban… or, in English, The Great Ace Attorney.

It’s a news of a few days ago that a group has hacked unofficially translated that Japanese game, changing not only the texts, even the game graphics.
There are 2 ways to play it, in non-japanese countries.

Solution 1 – Physical cartridge and real 3DS

One solution to play this game, is to own a Nintendo 3DS, get an original game cartridge, install a CFW (custom firmware), follow the instructions to apply the English patch, cross fingers and play.

Solution 2 – Using an emulator

If you don’t own a 3DS, or don’t want to risk to brick your console by installing a custom firmware, or can’t purchase the Japaneset cartridge, there is a “B” plan: using the emulator.
Yes, you have read correctly: there IS a working emulator for the Nintendo 3DS!
All you need to do is to download and install the emulator (For Windows 64bit, Mac or Linux), download the Japanese game rom (decrypted), download the patch and apply it via the emulator.
The emulation is not 100% accurate, but very very good (it may be slow in certain points).
