Just did it yesterday. Fucking SD card decided to become raw/corrupted in the middle of the process and I ended up losing everything inside it. Yes I made sure to remove the sd properly every time, and it STILL got fucked up.

I wouldn't wish this upon anyone. If you are going to do it, make sure you are not one of those people with the worst luck ever such as me.

Once a9lh is done, what do I do if I want to change sd cards? What happens if my sd card decides to die?
>>
>>344543617

just format it with the special home-brew and then copy your backup on it

made it because I hacked mine with a 4gb and switched to a 16gb, took me literally five minutes
>>
>>344543617

Just copy your shit over to the new SD card. Nothing special needs to be done, unless it's a really big SD card, in which case you need to make sure it's formatted to FAT32.

Download luma files onto your SD card again.
>>
I'm not a thief and I prefer the intended experience of the 3DS that Nintendo has created. Having to see all sorts of loaders and matrix text cheapens the device.

Homebrew apps are illegal when they let you pirate DLC/Games straight from Nintendo's eshop.

Lets be real here, that's the only reason people hack their 3DS. Nobody seriously wants to fucking play Tetris homebrew on 3DS.

The tickets are illegal, freeshop itself isn't. But that's splitting hairs.

Personally, I put CFW on my N3DS so I could overclock and activate the CPU cache in regular 3DS games for better performance.

I did try to hack my N3DS but I permanently bricked it. The amount of people succeedingly hacking their device is lower than those bricking it. I own a solder and know how to use it. I hardmodded my N3DS, but the necessary USB devices some sites mentioned didn't work at all. I was never able to flash the software. You have a much higher chance to just lose your 3DS than hack it correctly.

Don't lie. It tooks you 15 minutes to install the CFW and is totally safe. I remember that I fucked up the installation the fist time because I was using a shitty (and old) micro SD and nothing happened.

I'm on 11.0.0 and all the exploits to install cfw require games I don't own.

You can't hack 3DS in 15 minutes.
Unless it takes you 15 minutes to get hblauncher in which case it would also explain why you're stupid enough to mistake it for CFW.

>>344549925
They all say that. Homebrew general is full of people who ask stupid questions.
>>
>>344549432
It bricked at 2.0 or something (that's before I had to use the solder). It would say I had to contact Nintendo. Nothing else. I have 100% sure the correct type of USB device the guide mentions to use when hardmodding. My 3DS turns on with the same image as OP posted (which means I soldered it correctly). But the USB device can't read/flash the 3DS. I am not the only person with this problem. (Actually, as I said earlier, the number of people brick in their 3DS is way, way more than people succeeding.) I am not complaining for my problem, but these threads are giving false hopes to the huge amount of non-initiates to hack their 3DS while they'll just end up on forums crying it didn't work and they want a solution. (And those forums are crowded with them.)

If anything you see the opposite trend.

>DS had piracy so simple even kiddies had R4 flashcarts
>DS also had an incredible library and sold very well

>PSP had easy CFW and a vibrant homebrew scene
>PSP had a really good library and sold well

>3DS has a dead homebrew scene and requires jumping through a bunch of hoops for CFW
>3DS has a decent library and sold decently

>Vita has no piracy and minimal homebrew
>Vita also has a decent library but is popularly considered to be terrible. and also sold poorly

The trend is that more piracy means a more successful console with a better library.

Yes. Here's two.

>You're not savy enough to do it without risking your device.

My 16 y/o did it following the guide posted everywhere. The technical skills are literally dragging things in and out of your SD and reading comprehension.

>You don't want to/need to/intend to take advantage of the benefits that come from doing so.

That's less of a reason than personal preference. I'll give you that one because it's subjective, but hacking only gives you gains, not losses (except warranty ofc).
>>
>>344549103
I didn't know jack shit about hacking, just followed the guide, worked perfectly.

I wanted to put my 3ds to use since there are no new games coming out for it that remotely appeal to me. I'm playing a bunch of classic NES/SNES/GBA games. (that I already owned before)

I started playing in the NES era, so the nostalgia appeals to me.

There's LITERALLY no excuse for this.

If you don't have enough money, then don't try and get it anyway. You don't deserve it.
Vidya is for rich people who can actually afford to pay for entertainment. The video game industry has no time for poor shit-skin peasants like you.

When I installed a custom ROM on my phone I had to keep going through more and more hoops like it was Alien Isolation just to do basic shit. I was fuming with rage at the end of it.

I don't even know how to do it anyway and I got superior PC games to play.

You can still perfectly hack without any games. Follow the guide and good luck!

>>344552885
This is the main reason I don't hack my 3DS.

Nintendo will stop at nothing to stop people from being able to launch homebrew on their system, which includes mercilessly shutting down non first-party games, suspending services, and even gimping their own hardware.
I don't want to be an accessory to all that bullshit, but this generation of nintendo consoles has made me absolutely despise nintendo, between all their babying, forced features, censoring, region locking, and archaic online platform (nintendo network is a fucking joke even compared to XBL).
The only reason I have a nintendo is because I'm a pokemon fan and need to keep up to date with it, if the 3DS didn't have pokemon and monster hunter then I would've returned mine within a week.

I'm not saying that more piracy makes a better console, I'm just saying that the opposite also isn't true.

Judging from what you posted, it looks more to me that the larger the user base, the more likely it is for the handheld to be hacked.
I look at is as an increase in users draws in more developer support which draws in more pirates. In opposition to more pirates draw in more users which draw in more developers

If it's legal, there is a guide to hacking the 3ds and all the occurrence needed to do it? Also, if i want to pirate a game and then buy it the next month, there is a way to export the save file?

speaking of which, what are the upsides of doing that?

Other than no need to carry the carts all the time (don't really care about that, I have nice pouch with 12 slots) and reducing wear to cartridges / cartridge slot?

Is there any other reason I should dump my carts?

I have 64GB card, and haven't pirated shit so far, my physical collec- errr, I mean backlog is too big...

I'm on 10.7, the only way to hack it is through some obscure games that are £50+ now (because people know they can be used for hacking), or a few other games that require someone else to have a hacked 3DS. So, until they can get around this obstacle, I'm stuck.
I've already played everything I wanted to play on 3DS anyway (minus SMT4F which is coming out in the West), but I really do want to stop giving Nintendo any money.

Nah. It's actually pretty good for homebrew, CFW and emulation.

However anon I just noticed that you can now hack with Pokemon ROSA.

>>344540690
I fear the worse

Because it has no games worth playing and does nothing but collect dust under my monitor. If I had the entire 3ds library at my finger tips it would still be sitting there.
>>
>>344559174
I have no idea. In the middle of doing that bullshit like adding time and date. Is the top screen suppose to have this weird flickering effect when you have the 3d on?
>>
>>344558321
Nintendo piracy only happens because there's a strong, autistic, dedicated community for it.

No one gives two fucks about the Vita thus no one gives a shit about hacking it

You're supposed to look at it from straight on.

I'm about to take the dive anons. But I have to ask, is there a way to return the console to factory status after hacking or is it a one-way street?

Ease of convenience.
Also it's easier to patch digital games like smash with all the dlc + updates.
>>344556407
Your loss.
Have fun never being able to find physical copies of 3ds games you actually want
>>344554397
You can even port over your your NNID and your backed up saves

>>344560926

It should be possible yeah. If you install a9lh then it'll just be as simple as overwriting your firm with clean ones and then factory resetting the console

No, I'm serious.
Not only is it not working right, but gba games still don't fucking work on top of it having stupid shit like booting to sysNAND.

Luma3ds was made for A9LH which is why it has that as an option, it's turned off by default so why complain about it?
