3DS Hack support thread.
>IT'S ALMOST OVER! Come over and help out if you've successfully done it
My issue is that I've downgraded to 9.2 successfully and don't know where to go next.
I've tried to install rx tools but it won't work for me, keep getting stuck on the FBI portion.
>All I want is free games
Anyone have a fool proof retard edition guide on how to get free games?
I'm getting a 3ds on the 23rd
if I use my brothers OOT to get into the HBL can I still downgrade? Or is that completely going away?

Guys please help
I'm getting this when trying to install a game.
how do I activate shuffle themes on CHMM? I notice in the CHMM menu it has a shuffle themes option, but I have no clue how to trigger it.
>>323515461
gotta run the eshop at least once
I've pretty much finished installing everything that I need on my N3DS and have been enjoying some monhun but I still have two things nagging me.
1. After backing up, formatting and unlinking my nands all of my old ambassador/eshop stuff has vanished, not a huge deal but fbi still lists it in installed things
2. Can't launch GBA VC games even after applying the patch to my nand
Is it safe to play online? Especially with smash?
>>323516498
Yep. Been using a CIA of it with all of the DLC since August and nothing out of the ordinary.
>>323516498
If you're playing via .cia then yes 100%
After I've downgraded, can I delete the upgrades folder with the cias I used?
Is it possible to get MHX running on my n3DSXL? Or does that require a higher firmware version than what you can update to once cfw is installed?
>>323515461
if
>>323516304
doesn't work
Go to SD card
SD:\Nintendo 3DS\25436f04129e561 folder
There should be two random number folders those two folders are sysnand and emunand
for both of those folders open them up and you will see a folder extdata add a folder 'dbs' along side it, so it should be like
J:\Nintendo 3DS\25436f046d49461\f6a6002544d\dbs
and in that dbs folder make two text file docs and rename them to 'import.db' and 'title.db'
do that for both of those random name files that are sysnand and emunand.
Next pop in that sd, launch into home menu and go to system settings, data management, nintendo 3ds, software
a error message pops up and it will automatically fix it and it should do it.
>>323516304
I'm getting error code 022-2634. My firmware is currently RX3D 10.3 so what's the problem?
Someone hook me up with an SMTIV cia please
Can't find a reliable link anywhere for this
>>323517015
undub or normal if undub there are 2 versions
fmv in eng
and1 without eng fmv
What am I supposed to do if the system update fails in emunand? I can't even play any of the games I actually own right now but I'm so close.
Alright, I got shit set up.
I got a blank SD and I want to do everything there, and can I update to 10.3 or have they rolled out a new update?
>>323517267
I just want whatevers in the retail cart, so im guessing thats normal with eng fmvs
Anyone wanna point me towards where I can do this?
Also, what exactly are the added capabilities here? Emulation at all?
>>323514840
What exactly is the problem?

What?
It's starting to seem like a lot of anons can't update their system while running emunand 9.2, is Nintendo catching on or does anyone have a fix yet?
>>323517573
its region free (U) so works on any system
>>323517639
most are forgetting to add the extra folder in rxtools either firm or data and putting the correct firmware in their
>>323517639
I'm pretty sure a maintenance for both Wii U and 3DS is beginning soon and once it starts nobody will be able to update their systems during it.
>>323517607
I think he's on about the thing the guys at gbatemp.net have been working on.
It's an installer that will with 3 clicks get you all the files you need for:
>the downgrade to 9.2
>rxTools installed
>FBI installed
>coldboot configured
The only requirement is that you be in 10.3, so don't update to 10.4.
>>323517760
But I didn't have to do that with the 3ds I updated last night, is Nintendo running a maintenence?
>>323514840
This one is pretty great.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-setting-up-9-0-9-2-n3ds-xl-for-rxtools-cfw-including-emunand-coldboot-cia-manager.405589/
If I wait long after Nintendo patches 10.4 before adding cfw will I be fucked and not be able to go to eshop or play games like shuffle that ask for nnid to connect online?
You guys are gonna' judge me the worlds worst asshole for this, but I gotta ask. You know what I don't understand with these threads?
Why would anyone help you?
Think about it, anyone who knows what they're doing has already completed, right? They have access to free 3DS games, meaning they are no longer going to be buying them (unless they want to).
This, in turn means that developers will see slightly less value in the 3DS, as more and more people, the people we are educating here, also get CFW and free games.
This will make the 3DS a less appealing device to develop for.
Meaning that a pirate converting a non-pirate to pirating is really just reducing the odd that he will get more game to pirate in the future, right?
By helping you guys out ITT, I am actively reducing the odds that developers (and even Nintendo) will continue supporting the device I myself have for pirating.
How many people besides me do you think have reached this conclusion and are actively giving BAD advice? Face it, if you can't pirate, you're gonna' have to buy to play whatever game you want.
Meaning the non-pirate is supporting more games for the pirate.
Food for thought.
>>323517917
it just depends on what rxtools you are using those nightly builds require it and when you update in emunand otherwise you get a black screen and it wont load at all
>>323515461
Make sure you're installing the real .cia file and not the files Macs make that begin with ._
>>323518195
there is only one reason why people do it and that is to kill time while waiting for the games to install
>>323518009
As long as you've downgraded to 9.2 you're okay.
>>323517561
>>323517824
is there source?
>>323518009
The 10.4 patch will remove browserhax, so yes you will be fucked if you have not already installed ironfall a while ago or have cubic ninja
>>323518298
Yeah, but why do it at all, I mean? Like, for what reason? By educating one guy through piracy, you are reducing the odds he'll be BUYING your favorite game, and thus reducing the odds that the company will make a sequel or new games for your pirated device.
I know this is a mean way of thinking, but why would you do this?
>>323518397
fuck, I left that until the end and now I'm in a rush. How do I install menuhax? please
>>323518424
Because humans like being useful and helping other people?
>>323518523
You don't have to worry or rush. As long as you don't update to 10.4 you'll be fine.
>>323518589
I'm in this rush because I only enter homebrew via browserhax right now, which will probably be patched. That's why I need to know how to install menuhax
>>323518523
https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_homemenuhax/releases/download/v2.1/menuhax_v2.1.zip
Download, run using broswerhax, press A to install menuhax. That's it.
>>323518525
At their own expense? No, that would be "stupid humans".
I mean, the expense may be incredibly little (one sale probably isn't going to make or break anything) but why risk it?
It's an illogical action, and it's not like you're on a forum where your deeds will be carried with you.
You're making a paying customer, into a non-paying customer for no rewards, and in fact, some slight loss on your own part.
>>323518762
if someone was actively trying to set up their system for piracy I doubt they'd be buying games otherwise
also not everyone's doing this for piracy (yes I know there's a fucking lot but not everyone), having the ability to have CFW on your system is a big deal for some people
I'm on 9.5.0-22U
Should I system update now before nintendo releases 10.4, or is it better to stay on 9.5 to downgrade?
>>323518958
>if someone was actively trying to set up their system for piracy I doubt they'd be buying games
Really? If your favorite series is X, and X2 comes out, you'd buy it right? Unless you where a pirate. Meaning you would not buy it. Now you hope that someone buys it, because if they don't there won't be an X3.
All you're doing by helping others is reducing the chance there will ever BE an X3.
>also not everyone's doing this for piracy
And you're willing to risk that? I know it's fun to help, and get all those sweet (You)'s, but are you really going to help someone because they "might" not pirate anything?
Like mentioned, I know I'm the biggest asshole alive, but I don't understand why threads like this even exist on a place as jaded as /v/.
>>323519010
Stay on 9.5. You'll still have access to browserhax after Nintendo releases 10.4.
>>323519010
See >>323517824. God I wish people would read the thread.
Get to 10.3 as soon as possible. When Nintendo release 10.4 it'll be too late for that.
>>323519227
As for me, I like sharing info as a means to go over the material I've already went through and reinforce my knowledge of the subject.
anyone have a mega link to mario and luigi paper jam?
>>323518195
Wii had an emulator 2-3 years after its released (which meant that pirates played ISOs on the release day, most of which were playing perfectly day 1) and it's was still the best console of its generation
>>323518308
>>323518397
I'm on 9.2 already and reinstalled homebrew launcher through browser and now menuhax
>>323519513
So you do it to attain information about a topic that will be pretty redundant now that you have CFW? Why?
If there ever comes along another exploit, it will probably work nothing like this, so why store this information in your head as vital at all?
And at the possible cost of a lost buyer for your favorite series?
>>323519520
And this is a lightning you are honestly willing to gamble on striking twice?
Why gamble at all when you can just keep your mouth shut and win the game?
I have 9.2, with an emunand and rxtools installed. browserhax and menuhax working more or less. FBI isn't loading up anymore. However my real concern is that I'm working from a 2gb card. I want to buy and use a 32gb soon. Will that be a difficult transfer in light of 10.4?
If I have Menuhax installed do I really need to downgrade before the update? I've been trying to downgrade my n3DS for a couple of hours without sucess and I have my drivers license exam in a couple of hours so I'd like to get some sleep but fuck it if it means missing on the cfw.
>>323518195
The people in this thread are not even a piss in the ocean of sales. Helping out the people here would not affect 3DS game sales in any noticeable way. I highly doubt that Nintendo is worried about this exploit, maybe a few thousand people used it to downgrade their systems, they are going to patch it, and sale numbers will not change much
Most of the people that even bothered to downgrade are people who aren't really interested in investing much more into the 3DS, considering there is a chance you can destroy your system. Yeah, supposedly if you aren't a moron you won't brick your 3DS, but your trusting people on /v/ to know what the fuck they are talking about, you must not care much about your 3DS.
>>323519387
Is it the same for the N3DS?
>>323519913
If you have menuhax already, you're in the green. A team at gbatemp are working on an easy downgrade for all 10.3 users that will release soon anyway.
So what can i do on 10.3
>>323519729
As long as you don't update to 10.4 your golden.
I'm sorry if this question retarded so please and forgive me for this
Will nintendo secretly updated the browser in a little bit so you can no longer use browserhax?
>>323520028
Ok thanks for the info.
>>323520161
you can read the fucking thread
>>323519936
>The people in this thread are not even a piss in the ocean of sales
Absolutely true. I'm not saying that pirates make up even a percent of sales, but they do make up something. Why gamble with that?
>would not affect 3DS game sales in any noticeable way
How does one know? What if the thousand users here had 900 people who where going to buy YourFavoritNicheGameHere and now that they didn't get those 900 sales the odds of making a new one are somehow lower? Is that really worth gambling with? Even if the chances are incredibly slim?
>aren't really interested in investing much more into the 3DS
This is just raw speculation. People ITT who want to downgrade might have bought the game they're now going to pirate. Without getting too moralfaggy, you see my point, right?
>>323519939
okay, since my "real" 3DS is on 9.2, I should be fine then.
Any idea on FBI stuff? I have the icon (installed it with FBI using miniPasta and homebrew in rxtools) and but it says it can't launch and that I need to download it from eShop when I try to use the icon.
>>323520161
You can go pay a male prostitute to pound your boipussy.
>>323519961
Yup.
>>323520450
Cool
>>323520202
Browser hax has been a thing for awhile now. If they could have done that they would have by now.
You'll be fine so long as you don't update and setup some sort of protection such as OpenDNS
Hey guys I am trying to Downgrade the 10.3 3ds but sysupdater keeps freezing on the black screen what do guys?
>>323520202
Retarded questions are what we do here.
No, Nintendo can't patch your browser without notifying you first and then you can just hit cancel.
If there's no cancel option you can turn off the wifi.
If there's no wifi option you can turn the device off.
If the device off-turning doesn't work you can rip out the battery.
If you can't get to the battery in time you can throw the device out a window.
What I mean is, you're fine as long as you don't touch 10.4 willingly.
>>323520456
Great. Updating.
Can someone tell me the process of copying to a new SD card? All I've done so far is downgrade (successfully) to 9.2 on my O3DS, but I'm waiting to even try installing CFW before I get an SD card bigger than 8 gigs. I heard the process is more complicated than copy/paste, but I haven't heard anyone explain why.
>>323520365
The smart thing to do would be to upgrade to 10.3 and just wait for the installer. It'll fix all of that you as long as you remain on 10.3.
I just used emunand9 to do a complete emunand setup and now I cant get back into my homebrew or access saves, where did I bork things?
>>323520641
In a few hours we'll be pirates too, Anon! See you on the other side.
>>323520724
So when will the installer be out? do we know?
>>323520572
It means you don't have enough mana. Pay a black male prostitute to pound your boipussy and charge up.
>>323518195
Food for though, why did they make the 3ds region locked when the previous iterations were region free plus the PS4 and Xbone are region free as well?
If they made the games region free and added an option english option to their japanese games rather than do a complete piss poor localization job by handing it to companies 8-4 and the like who are harming the artistic value of the game.
Then you have a leg to stand on... but in this case none of this is happening besides on the PS4 so no. I don't care if people are harming the sales of the 3DS, the Wii U or Nintendo in general. They are censoring their own games for no apparent reason but to appease a certain crowd when back in 2012-2013 Nintendo announced on e3 "we are for the hardcore gamers" well that promise was out the window.
>>323520794
If you can reach your official update-thingy, you can just update back to 10.3 and wait for gbatemp's team's installer. See >>323517824
When installing a cia, does it require more space besides the cia? Want to see if I can get a game running on a 2GB card.
>>323518195
I'm helping people because of the fact that I want to help hurt Nintendo's sales. I don't give a fuck about more games, I've got all that I wanted and if they never released a single new 3ds game from here on out if be a-ok. Checkmate.
>>323518195
Normies are never going to hack their 3ds and the tools we have right now aren't even that accessible. To be fair I'd even be surprised if people outside of 4chan/gbatemp even knew you could hack your 3ds.
That said, people installing cfw must account for a microscopic part of Nintendo's buyers. Furthermore the 3ds is a dying console so I don't even feel that bad
>>323520362
I don't have any favorite niche series on the 3DS that I want to get sales. I think that the whole process of downgrading is so arcane and dangerous to the average 3DS user that the numbers are just too small to matter. If the small number of sales "lost" from the users in this thread kill a game, then the game was already doomed to begin with.
>>323518195
Giving bad advice on this thread means that your an advocate for Nintendo Censorship.
If your gonna do that you might as well join the SJW and soccer mum crowd and leave 4chan all together, your forgetting what Nintendo has done to it's "fans".

Is there a way to boot directly into RxTools with Themehax? I heard there is, but all the tutorials use RxTools 3.0, which is shit.
>>323521181
Just don't go to 10.4
If I'm getting an installation error that says "failed to load native firm 4" on rxtools when I'm trying to make/link my emunand, what do I need to do?
>>323518195
I only feel bad for niche companies.
Nintendo on the other hand when pirating their games? Not a single fuck given.
I buy all my niche games, but I'm so pirating paper jam.
>>323521181
If you have a 4GB card just go through all the motions. When your 32GB gets there you download EmuNAND Extractor Tool and just extract/inject that sexy shit into the fucking new card and then copy all that shit to your PC, then to the new card
>>323518424
i do it because I want to see if i can communicate the steps properly to someone on the net if they understand how to do it from the way i type. Then I'm fine and i can tell my friends and that is it. Because we all know that to communicate something on the net you have to treat the person as if they are an infant.
So basically I'm doing it to see if I understood the steps properly

There's a thread open on gbatemp under the homebrew section (I don't know why it's not sticky though) and I'm on my phone so I can't link it. The beta's already in testing and has shown great results they claim tho
>>323520878
But your piracy isn't going to show up on Nintendo's radar as "fighting censorship".
Don't you understand? You've taken yourself OFF the radar.
Your voice is no longer heard and your opinion no longer matters.
>>323520969
>I've got all that I wanted
You don't know what you want until you have it, Anon. What if they release YourFavoritGameHere: The Sequel?
Now picture that not happening because you converted some random Anon to a pirate, who now can't be used to show off statistics to the share-holders. That's of course simplifying it, but you get the picture.

>I pirate to fight censorship

>I pirate to fight the censorship
You got that wrong you fuckwit, I pirate to support Microsoft and Sony at least they offer games which consumers want and not from americunt land.
Can I delete .cia files (games) from the SD card after installing them?
>>323521054
>whole process of downgrading is so arcane and dangerous to the average 3DS user that the numbers are just too small to matter
It is. You are absolutely correct.
UNTIL YOU HELP THEM. This process stops being wizardry when it's explained.
Which is why I'm asking why it would be within your best interest to do so?
>small number of sales "lost" from the users in this thread kill a game, then the game was already doomed to begin with.
Probably. But you'd risk that for no reward at all to yourself? What a weird line of thought.
>inb4 sympathy
>>323522052
Yes.
>>323521682
Not him but if thanks to piracy we get "un-memeing" and undub patches then he won his fight.
NoA isn't even considering you as its target audience, who gives a shit if you get off their radar. You'll be able to play original unbutchered versions and that's a loss for NoA.
If Nintendo of Japan is smart, they'll notice you exist and next time they'll release a region free console and leave the localisations to better people.
>>323521076
>Nintendo Censorship
You as a pirate are no longer of interest to Nintendo.
Your opinions are gone, and void.
The question of censorship is left to those who use their wallets as voices, and you are no longer in that crowd.
>>323518195
Good fuck the 3DS. I can't believe that such shitty hardware is being sold in this day and age
>>323521519
Same with following that guide, after downgrading I couldn't use Menuhax or Ironhax so I went back to 10.3. Hopefully that installer everybody's mentioning is legit. If not then oh well, I just wanted to try out 3DS homebrew, and at least I was able to mess around with GameYob.
>>323521682
So 3DS hardware sales don't matter? but software sales do?
Do not compute.
Can someone please help me. I have a n3ds XL version 10.3 with ironhax. I really only care about emulators and custom themes. Not interested in pirating 3ds games. Is there any reason for me to downgrade my system? I really want to find an answer before they patch it tomorrow.
>>323521425
Nintendo probably won't cry over a few thousand sales lost to piracy.
But most games on the 3DS are not MADE by Nintendo. They're published by Nintendo, sure, but not made by them.
And it's the makers that suffer when one Anon converts another Anon to piracy.
>>323522127
Do I essentially need double the space of the cia file in order to have room to install the games?
>>323518424
anon, i'm one of the guys that was helped out and now plays free games
you didn't lose anything by helping me hack my system: i have an 3ds from a rich friend, he gifted it to me in august 2015 because he got bored of it
the console had only pokemon y and persona q, and i couldn't afford buying games for it (salary here is 300 euros while games cost 60)
nintendo didn't lose any money because i had nothing to give to begin with
im playing etrian odysey and stella glow right now and i enjoy them... games on nintendo systems are the only games that are fun anymore...
anon i'm sure most people who could afford buying games wouldn't bother with the hacking process and the risks (even though i found it fun)
>>323521519
Wait for installer >>323517824
So I'm thinking of buying a N3DS or N3DSXL to try this. How long do you guys think this hack will remain viable? And will it still work with newer games?
Also, should I get the regular or XL N3DS?
>>323521990
You pirate Nintendo games to support the competitors? You know that you could buy used if you wanted Nintendo to not get your money, right?
At least be honest and admit that you don't like what Nintendo is doing and don't feel bad about playing free vidya at their expense.
>>323522180
Still have to buy the 3DS hardware mate and buying software which they "localized" over here still means you support what they are doing.
Your saying vote for your wallets. I have by buy the 3DS hardware system. If they don't bring the games in the current format like what the fans done in Fire Emblem Fates, well why don't Nintendo do the sensible thing?
Why not hire the group that already fan translated the game similar what SE done with FF-0.
>>323522215
3DS hardware sales matter to Nintendo. They made the box. Software sales less so.
Square Enix's software sales matter to Square because they made Bravely Default. Hardware sales less so, because they didn't make the box.
Nintendo won the second you bought a 3DS. Square Enix still needs to win, and can't do it with Anon's converting each other to piracy.

A few weeks yet. This won't be fixed by Nintendo as early as some people seem to think.
You're fine.
I advice N3DS if only because it runs a little quicker and that's always nice.
Okay, I have Crt Boot Manager up and running, but Homebrew won't open now. What should I rename the .3dsx file in order for it to open correctly?

How do you figure that? Do we really need more pirates to accomplish that goal?

>>323522209
Ironhax is not for 9.3 I believe. Menuhax breaks when changing the theme and probably after downgrading. Use browserhax to get it back.
Sorry if the question sounds stupid but I haven't been following much the 3DS hack progression recently.
O3DS in 6.1 here, worth upgrading to 10.3 for the easy peasy installer? I used to have rxTools on it but I needed the memory card for something else and now It looks like a vanilla 6.1. I remember the cfw set up process to be a pain in the ass and it required to go on a website to launch the Emunand every time I booted the console. Are there better alternatives now?
>>323522936
That's not the reason. My shit works fine, and I got that message with every transfer to my card.It's a scary-ass message though, right?
>>323522581
probably 50 bucks on 200 to 1 odds if I was a betting man.
But lets take for example the Fire Emblem Fates and Awakening now.
Awakening sales went through the roof cause there was no "hacked" 3DS, also they censored the game.
Fire Emblem Fates they are gonna do the same thing but this time, there's already a fan group which bet them to the punch and already translated lets say 3/4 of the game which is in less time than what 8-4 did.
Now if people start playing the Fire Emblem fates over the 8-4 dub I wonder what this would entail and if Nintendo have any fucking sense whatsoever they would hire the fantranslator similar to what SE done with FF-type 0 fantranslation.
>>323523043
Wait, what do you mean? I'm on 9.2, and I'm not using Ironhax.
>>323523089
Yeah, be quick though. 10.3 will not be available once Nintendo launches 10.4 which will happen very soon.
Then just wait a few hours for the installer to leave closed-beta and download it.
>>323522897
Yes, since i don't want to invest anythign in getting them and some people are kind enough to actually buy and rip the games for people like me
>>323523195
And you think the people who buy and rip games will be more likely to do so now that they can sit on their hands and wait?
>>323522180
>not pirating games and buying the ones that you think the company has earned your money
>not pirating and using translation patches and buying the jap version of censored games
>>323520685
It's because the SD card needs to be a a certain format and a the emunand takes like 2gb of the sd card that you can't copy and paste.
>pirating 3ds since August
>still buy 3ds games from time to time
Jesus Christ someone help me
>>323522241
Bumping my question because I'm desperate
>>323520161
downgrade to 9.2 and play all 3ds games for free region free and some jap games with translation patches
>>323520161
Wait for the retard-proof installer.
>>323522241
>>323523481
Short version is >>323517824
There's a moron proof installer on the way, which I advice just waiting for.
>>323522241
Well if you have full control of arm 9 you get to have access to dynrec or w/e and that allows faster GBA Emulation.
If i can't get coldboot to install properly, can i just get away with using menuhax to boot into my emuNAND?
>>323521093
Update now before 10.4 hits. When it does, you won't be able to do shit.
I haven't been following this at all, and have never hacked my 3ds before. What will this allow me to do? Will I be able to download all future 3DS titles as well? What do i need to get started? Will it work on my 3DS XL?
>>323523626
Is this it?
https://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-safesysupdater.409392/
>>323523723
Isn't downgrading to 9.2 the whole point of being on 10.3?
>>323523776
It will work. But now is not a clever time to do so. There's an installer on the way by the people who found the original exploit. It'll be out in a few hours, and it will save you hours of downgrading, tutorials, workarounds and broken links.
Plz send help, I followed this guide: http://pastebin.com/QhDq5iyW
and I got rxtools installed but when i try to go to emunand or sysnand it just stops. What should I do? I read that the CFW I installed might not be the best choice, should I install a different one?
>>323514692
So I finally updated to RX10.3 and everything but now all my games got lost because I fucked up one step and formated emunand back then, I have the files but how do I restore them? I noticed these 4 files have all the data (over 12gb), so what can I do? Do I really have to install all the cias over again? If so, where are located the save datas?
>>323523846
The point is to achieve things you cannot do on 10.3. Which is why we downgrade. Keeping a downgraded version around without CFW is pointless. It's just a slightly worse 3DS than a 10.3 3DS.
>>323523925
Wait for the installer. It'll make everything easy as shit. Make sure to update to 10.3 before the big N release 10.4 though.
What happens on Monday to stop all of this? Nintendo can't force an update onto my system.
>>323516879
this still didn't work!
should I update my 3DS XL that is on 7.2.0-17U?
I just found my 3DS haven't used it in a long time.
>>323524162
Nothing. People are paranoid. It took Nintendo months upon months to fix the last exploit. Not days.
You can wait as long as you want as long as you don't update.
>>323524216
Get 10.3. Wait for installer mentioned by this Anon: >>323517824
>>323523923
>>323524153
So right now I should just update to 10.3, then wait?
>>323524162
It's stated in the EULA that they can't force an update on you. You are entitled to the product you paid money for unless you accept otherwise.
I won't be able to install anything on my brother's 3DS for CFW until tomorrow, but I know you need another entryway into homebrew to install menuhax. Is there ANYTHING else I can use, like oothax?
hey im on the O3DSXL just updated to 10.3.0-28U, just waiting for the installer.
Whats the 28U for in that sequence? Im assuming the U stands for USA.
>>323524407
That is the smart move, unless you want to jump into tutorial-hell. The thread on gbatemp said it would be out of closed beta in a few hours anyway
>>323524446
Yup you can use oothax to install menuhax on 10.3.
>>323514692
WILL WE STILL BE FINE USING BROWSER TO BOOT RXTOOLS?
I COULDN'T GET CTRBOOTMANAGER TO WORK
my sysnand firmware is 9.2 and my emunand firmware is rx3d 10.3... have i done it
>>323524460
I'm waiting too and mine says 28E. I'm from Europe so I'm guessing it's either some build-number with a region-code or something.
>>323524340
Do I install browserhax and menuhax? and just wait from there?
>>323524617
>rx3d 10.3
Do you just update normally to achieve that? In emuNAND of course?
Whens the installer coming out?
When i try to load rxtools from the browser for the first time, it says its loading it then it goes back to the home and gives me an error.
Any help?
>>323524425
I just mean they literally cannot do it. I just won't connect it to the internet.
>>323524631
You don't need either. The installer will just ask you to remove them before beginning anyway.
They promise that all you need is a (their words) "as clean as possible" 10.3.
>>323517824
What the fuck, so I have to update and the downgrade again with this? Can I just chill with 9.2 and install cfw the hard way? I don't think I'll even manage to update before 10.4 hits desu.
>>323524617
Yup congrats
>>323524713
Make sure you're on emuNAND then update it normally.
>>323524542
OK cool. I am at 9.9 right now, so I will upgrade to 10.3.
>>323524749
Open beta in a few hours. Some of them are Europoors so they're probably asleep until a littlewhile.
>>323524713
i followed http://pastebin.com/WVszD3Tm which told me to update if i saw rx3d in the firmware after doing some stuff
>>323524846
holy shit
>>323524826
Well 10.4 won't hit until 12 at night if Nintendo stick with their usual regime.
And of course you CAN just chill, but the hard way carries some fun RNG and brick-potential.
>>323524856
If you already had ironhax/menuhax on 9.9 you dont even have to update, it's mainly for browserhax users
So if I'm too stupid to even follow the retard guide correctly, is it better to update back to 10.3 and wait for the installer at this point?
>>323525059
Considering time is running out for the manual way, yes. The absolute WORST situation to be in when 10.4 hits is in the middle.
>>323525015
I have literally nothing. I am completely new to 3DS hacking.
>>323525206
Then update
Reminder that MHX is a downgrade from MH4U.
fuck trying to get into eshop one last time.
Is there any way to delete Nintendo ID without signing in? Will formatting the whole thing work?
>>323525250
Just updated. Thanks for the tips. In a few hours the installer will be posted here? Anything I need to do before the installer drops?
>>323525154
Im on a N3DS and cant get sysupdater to even load, I just get a black screen. I got it to load once, but it froze.
Im stuck
requesting Ironfall .cia file, anyone?
>>323525358
I foresee a thousand threads about the installer, so yeah, just be sure to be on 10.3 before Nintendo drop 10.4.
>>323525471
sysupdater freezes a lot. It took me about 8 tries or so to get it to work. Unless you really want to downgrade your system now, wait till the gbatemp installer or w/e since that supposedly have 0 chance of bricking.
I'm going to get menuhax, but there is a tutorial that says you have to upgrade to 10.3. Is that true?
I have cakes CFW installed, but the CIAs i have installed on the emuNand keep disapearing. the CIAs in question are FBI, tinyformat, and the homebrew launcher. I encounter the same problem on sysNAND with pasta running.
any fixes?
will the installer allow you to play roms, specifically rhythm heaven which I think requires 9.6 and above.
>>323524826
If you're already on 9.2, there's really no point. You might as well just keep following the retard's guide on /vg/ rather than starting over.
Out of all the people who did the hack for the N3DS XL, following the steps EXACTLY as they were told, how many people got bricked. I want to do this but literally the only thing stopping me is the fear of bricking.
>>323525706
>any fixes?
not being a retard
you are doing something wrong
>>323525660
Aight, guess I'll just chill.
>>323523981
anyone?
So sysupdater says it's done downgrading and is going to reboot but it's not rebooting. Should i do it myself?
>>323514692
If I have a 3DSxl at 7.1, can I leave it at that firmware to utilize all this good stuff. Or what should I do?
>People stuck on 10.4 soon
>>323525823
Worked fine for me. Most people who bricked didn't read instructions right or let their battery die in them middle of downgrading
wish I had a bigger SD card. More or less have everything working, just can't fit both the cia file and the actual installation at the same time.
I tried downgrading today and my battery ran out while downgrading. Do I go to Target and try to return it there, will the accept it?
>>323524794
So the installer will have an option to remove menuhax/Ironhax or will we have to do that ourselves?
>>323526139
Forgot pic related.
>>323526139
No.
Shove it up your ass for being an idiot.
>>323526091
Case in point >>323526139
>>323526208
Ouch.
They're going to check it to see if it works, Anon.
>>323526252
>>323526252
>>323526252
>>323526252
>>323526139
you mongoloid.... what part of connect your charger before trying to update you didnt get??
Try it but be advised, unless you pic a nice lady or a cool guy they would most likely deny you a refund because you fucked up the product, not them, unless you just bought it yesterday
>>323526057
Good, I actually want to talk about the games and not just people downloading all these games never to play them again.
>>323526139
>>323526208
Don't tell them the truth, obviously. Tell them you took it out of the box and tried to set it up only to be greeted by "some weird blue screen with text on it". Best chance you've got.
In the future, don't be a fuckwit and plug in devices while firmware is updating.
>>323526341
You can't deny having all these games to never play feels really good
>>323526380
this
also format sd card before...fuckface>>323526208
>>323514692
>still not fully safe on n3ds
I guess I'll keep waiting
>>323525827
thanks for the tip
>>323525570
Will it work on the n3DS?
>>323525943
Please respond
Im retarded
>>323514692
So, best option is to update to 10.3 and wait for >>323517824 to be released? Can I downgrade even after Nintendo puts an update if I stay in 10.3?
I bought a GateWay a long time ago, but I haven't used my 3DS (original) in like half a year. I didn't realize this whole thing had a time limit.
Is there a reason for me to update? Will my GateWay still work?
If I update now, and only update, will I be able to complete the Hack later? Or do I need to do everything before 10.4 hits?
>>323525926
Rebooted manually and it downgraded successfully.
How do I upgrade to 9.5 on N3DS emuNAND? Do I just get the 9.5 files and do the sys update with them while on emuNAND?
Would a Class 10 64GB Micro SD card work on n3ds or only 32GB and under cards work?
>>323526608
You should be fine with sliderhax since it works on anything below 10.3 if I'm not mistaken. But if you're worried for the sake of consistency you could always update anyway. 10.3 is cracked right open, so even if it's not necessary the only downside is wasted time.
>ordered a 3ds online
>mail delayed until next week
>no idea what version it has
how screwed am i /v/
>>323526776
Works just fine.
OK GUYS IM GONNA BE A JACKASS HERE BUT HERE WE GO. I have a 3ds on 9.2 vanilla nothing installed and i dont have a SD card yet might get one tomorrow. what do i need to do to get free games? do i need gateway or something? send me a link or give me a quickrundown I WANT IN ON THIS
>>323526776
It will work, just reformat it as a fat32.
>>323526828
you don't need to buy anything
what kinda 3ds, old?
>>323524580
bumping this
how do you know if your emu/sysnands are unlinked?
i
>took out sd card
>formatted
>put back in sd card
but it went back to my old account, and i still have to unwrap games everytime i boot into emunand. did i miss a step?
>>323526823
I've heard that new systems are shipping on 9.4, but I don't have a single fact to back that up.
>>323526828
http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW
>>323526894
Yeah old. I got the old link between worlds 3ds i havent turned on in about a year.
>>323526828
As long as you DO NOT UPDATE you don't have to worry about a thing.
Get a big SD card then start on emunand and rxtools and you'll be a full time pirate.
>>323518195
I'd say after decades of releasing better versions of consoles/handhelds that this is just a start at making people even with JEWtendo.
>3DS needs to be updated in order to use the browser
it's over isn't it? Does it still work with Ironhax?
>>323526951
Ok cool but should i update and then downgrade like some other anons are saying or just stick with 9.2? i remember a long time ago getting the 9.2 update for pirating but i never did it but if i dont need a gateway then im all on board.
>>323516332
Boot into emuNAND and install the gba.cia to your SD card.
Then boot into sysNAND and install the same gba .cia into the SD card again.
That's how you're supposed to do it.
im trying to have rxtools 2.6 autoboot but this guide http://pastebin.com/hVkShpxz is using rxtools 3, should i be alright?
>>323527106
Absolutely not. The whole point to downgrading is getting to 9.2
DO. NOT. UPDATE.
I'm already at 9.2.0-20U after configuring my GateWay a while ago. The guide I'm reading is giving me instructions to downgrade from 10.3.
AM I SUPPOSED TO UPGRADE TO 10.3 AND DOWNGRADE, OR DO I JUST KEEP 9.2.0-20U?
Who /4gbSDcard/ here?
