>3DS
-10.4 WHEN– January 11th? Be advised:
--->http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/01/extended_nintendo_network_maintenance_on_the_way
-Can no longer download Ironfall 1.0
-Browser/Menuhax both work on the latest firmware again! DON'T DELAY in getting Homebrew.
-memchunkhax2 is a kernel11 exploit that allows downgrading to 9.2, and works on every firmware including 10.3.
>Is downgrading safe?
Safe as it gets for now. Most bricks seem to be people using the wrong firmware. Be sure you understand the process.
-This weekend could be the perfect time to try this. Right now soft bricks can restore by update, but what happens when it's 10.4?
-A libkhax variant of mch2 sysUpdater compiled by julian20 implements the safest settings so far
-Getting the downgrader to even start can require many tries, especially with New 3DS. Opening and closing an FTP app supposedly helps.
-Blank screen can be caused by Menuhax. Try pulling your SD card if you get it. Boot, reinsert, change theme.
>Wii U
-Apparently, the Wii U and 3DS use the same fucking keys... LOL
-Hykem is being weird.
>Vita
-Cobra Black Fin was announced. http://wololo.net/2015/12/07/cobra-black-fin-an-upcoming-dongle-to-play-ps-vita-isos/
-A Vita update got released, you might not want to update since it fixes the email exploit.
how do I get rxtools to work on homebrew launcher?
Retard here.
I'm trying to get rxtools started, but I won't boot into ctrbootmanager, even after renaming the files. What gives?
Posted this in last thread, going to post here too.
When I try to launch the homebrew channel, I get this: ! ERROR opening internal archive !
Press any key to reboot
what the fuck do I do??? please help, I'm a fucking moron
pastebin says cakes is recommended for New 3DS, but why?
just curious cause I already have rxtools on my o3ds
Third for what is root
Arceus theme!.
repostan
>https://3dsthem.es/1102
Someone wouldn't happen to have a Happy Home Designer(US) link around would they? The one's I've found on that 3dsiso site have all been removed from the crappy uploading sites they used.
Well, I'm pretty sure my 3DS is fucked up by now, that guide wasn't as easy, complete, or comprehensive as it so claimed.
I'm at my wits end AND THE OP WON'T SHOW UP.
>>128069616
rxTools doesn't support n3ds unless you use 3.0 which is shit.
I ran into a problem.
Following the retard guide, I get to launching sysupdater. Every time it loads into it I am getting a black frozen screen. I tried turning off the wifi out of being desperate to try anything, and I get options, but even then it is still frozen. I just can't understand what is going on. I followed the steps and even double checked them. I just don't get it, any ideas?
It's been like this an hour, I feel like giving up.
So I did this a few days ago but didn't follow the pastebin guide, I used an entirely different method, involving booting a Gateway launcher (despite not having the card) and then installing the EmuNAND that way.
Everything is working, except that it boots into the sysnand and I have to use the Nintendo DS Profile option to enter my EmuNAND with RxTools, plus I still need to use the browserhax to run Homebrew Channel.
How do I get something like the guide has, which I press L or whatever and I can choose what to boot into? HBC/Emunand/etc.
Any ideas?
>>128069326
check boot.cfg. does it say it's loading brew.3dsx when you select homebrew launcher?
If so, try downloading this and rename it to "brew.3dsx" instead: https://mega.nz/#!WB0yVDQA!PwkTzA3686cQLs9uCByMVMc0FZic8tPy8xfpu63aaBs
>>128069613
Did this fix it? I hope it's not an error in the guides ordering
>>128069481
>>128069481
>>128069481
Since you're having the same problem as I was, this is the answer. You like me, did it in the wrong order.
>>128069420
>>128069924
Thanks but I got it fixed with the above.
I'm trying to update my emuNAND to 10.3. I unlinked my NANDs and all that, but when I went to update (RX-E was in the corner so I know I was in emuNAND), it failed and restarted my 3DS. My 3DS is still 9.2, but my emuNAND did not update. I have two questions.
1. Did my NANDs unlink?
2. How am I supposed to update my emuNAND?
Anyone got any funny images, gif or webms of Donald (or whatever the fuck Pingo avatarfags with)
It's for a good cause.
Do I simply install NTR whilst running cakes FW emuNAND to play region free cias? Or do I have to do it every time I want to launch a game?
>>128069830
install menuhax on sysnand
>>128070068
let me guess, new 3ds?
so I just downgraded my japanese New 3DS. It booted fine but system settings say it's 9.1.0-20J instead of 9.2
and yes, I'm sure I downloaded "9.2.0-20J(Full)_n3DS"
kinda weird but shouldn't be a problem right, can still do the same stuff as 9.2, correct?
>>128070060
Is the wording in the guide confusing or did you just fuck up?
I think multiple people have done this so I should change the wording somehow...
>>128070202
No, o3ds. I know the deal with n3ds but I don't have one.
Ctrbootmanager keeps looping (back to CTR) when I try to boot rxTools. What exactly am I doing wrong? I googled for solutions and couldn't find any
I'm on O3DS, should I use Cakes or rxTools?
>>128070204
Yeah, the downgrade pack is mislabeled for some reason. There's no functional difference between 9.1 and 9.2.
>>128070223
The wording is slightly confusing, I would probably suggest breaking it into a step inbetween or simply adding a warning here.
It's not SO confusing after the fact, but I'm now slightly drunk so yeah.
>>128070310
you have menuhax autobooting on both sys and emunand so it loops like crazy
remove menuhax from emunand and it'll work
>>128070182
But isn't menuhax just to boot HBC? Or can it or HBC itself boot me straight into the EmuNAND too?
Besides, my sysnand is on 4.2, so I'm not sure how to even launch HBC through it.
Doe anyone have the rxtools september 28th nightly already prebuilt?
I don't use linux and this GCC thing is not working on my computer. I just need the 5 files.
Is it different for each person? Why do you have to go through that trouble anyway, when they could just release the files? I don't understand.
>>128070310
Sounds like you didn't unlink your NANDs, which you need to do to be able to autoboot. Also, you can't autoboot rxTools 2.6.
>>128070223
I think it's the wording.
Took your post and I think something like this is more clear:
>Copy everything from the SD card backup back over.
>After you copy everything back over, rename the boot.3dsx (on the sd card) to brew.3dsx and then copy the boot.3dsx (from the zip download in step 1) to the sd card root
>>128070491
browserhax, your sysnand should be on 9.2
>>128070450
Will try, thanks
>>128070526
They're unlinked senpai
Holy shit I was told to format my 3ds so it would be easier to downgrade but now I only get black screens
Why is the downgrade on new 3ds so shit?
>>128070173
Please help
help
>>128070526
>which you need to do to be able to autoboot
nope. You can autoboot/coldboot with linked nands. Just can't use themes when you coldboot with linked nands.
why THE FUCK does menuhax keep stopping working? I get so far down the CFW list, and EVERY TIME at some point menuhax and browserhax decide not to work and I have to start over. Every goddamn time! Why is this happening?
>>128070060
sooo how do I fix this? Just paste the backup again, and do those steps in the proper order or do I have to backtrack even more?
>>128070612
>They're unlinked senpai
Actually, the other anon is right. It's just that I unlinked mine by formatting sysNAND, which removes menuhax.
>>128070729
I'm not sure about it myself, but the guide in the pastebin says you need to unlink them.
>>128070585
The guide I followed told me to downgrade from 9.2 using the Gateway thing, it's now on 4.2.
So I'm forever going to have to boot my EmuNAND through the settings menu before I get to everything? No way to boot it faster from 4.2?
>>128070565
>>128070369
15) Switch the console off
Copy/Paste your SD card backup from your PC to the SD card (select replace all if there are any matches)
16) Rename the "boot.3dsx" on the SD card to "brew.3dsx"
Now place the "boot.3dsx" (from the zip you downloaded in step 1) into the root of your SD card.
Better?
>>128070892
you used a guide 2 years out of date, might be better to start from scratch
>>128070856
>It's just that I unlinked mine by formatting sysNAND, which removes menuhax.
And ctr still works for you?
>>128070690
what the fuck mang
>>128070802
when you installed menuhax you configured it to autboot and had to set a button to press in case you wanted to prevent the autoboot, remember?
so when rxtools loads and you go into a black screen (when it's starting emunand) hold that button (default is L) and it will take you to the home menu of emunand. Then just go to switch to any theme to uninstall menuhax
>>128070816
Do you still have the backup you made from earlier?
Take the boot.3dsx from there
Rename it to brew.3dsx
Put it on your SD card in the root, overwriting the one that is there.
If the size comparison helps at all the PROPER one is a little under 1MB, the wrong one is 5.3~ MB
>>128070902
Perfect.
>>128070856
Huh, I'm on linked nands and the only thing I can't do while coldbooting is use themes. but I'd assume most people would unlink them for the sake of it and incase they fuck up and accidentally update sysnand or some shit. Extra sake of mind I guess.
But yeah, it's definitely possible to coldboot with linked nands.
>>128070814
menuhax will stop working if you format sysNAND. browsehax shouldn't stop working, but it is pretty shit and takes a lot of attmpts (tap the far left side of the slider)
>>128071029
tried FBI?
>>128071029
Go to eshop and let it write some shit to your sd card then try again
>>128071004
Sorry, I'm retarded. I had to install it again, obviously, since CTR uses menuhax.
>>128070068
Can anyone help me? I think my NANDs are still unlinked because when I exit out of emuNAND System Settings, it takes me to the sysNAND menu which looks different. Should I just try updating my emuNAND again? I'm worried that it may have linked my NANDs back together or something. I'm currently in the RX-E System Settings.
>>128070973
I can still use RxTools and FBI on sysnand, so maybe I could try upgrading to 9.2 with FBI?
Or would that fuck up something else on the EmuNAND? AHHHH this is so confusing.
How to fix rxmode is booting error?
>>128071029
Did your computer finish writing to the SD card before you ejected it?
So I fucked up and didn't install FBI before I unlinked my NANDs, how can I get FBI and HBlauncher loader on my emunand? Just boot into emunand, use browserhax to load homebrew, and install FBI and HBLauncher that way?
>>128070223
>>128070565
>>128070902
Forgot to ask:
After line 138, my SD card has two things on it:
>EmuNAND9 folder
>boot.3dsx
The next step says to carry everything over, but I am not sure if I am overwriting the files already on the SD card with the files in the backup, since both folders have an emuNAND9 folder and a boot.3dsx file.
Can I install Nintendo DS games through cia files?
Does it matter what region the GBA cia is when installing it?
Requesting sad Pingos
gifs and webms preferred
>>128071190
no don't do that, you can update with sysupdater through homebrew
>>128071167
There's an easy way to tell: if you need to unwrap your installed CIAs everytime you boot into emuNAND, that means they're linked.
>>128071252
No, you need a flashcard to pirate DS games.
>>128071159
>(tap the far left side of the slider)
I didn't realize that was a trick. Thanks, I'll keep trying.
>>128071252
No
Use a DS flashcart compatible with 3DS
>>128071167
>when I exit out of emuNAND System Settings, it takes me to the sysNAND menu which looks different
This is normal
Any ideas here? >>128069796
About to just give up, it clearly isn't working.
>>128070450
Wait how exactly do I remove menuhax from emunand
>>128071102
Thanks man! That worked. I just wanted to check to make sure I wasn't going to do the wrong thing and fuck myself even more. Thanks again, I really appreciate the help.
>>128071321
But then I still have to find out how to launch HBC from 4.2
Well shit, fuck.
>>128070902
>(select replace all if there are any matches)
This is where I must have fucked up.
When transferring the backup, I assumed I needed to keep the two files leftover from the format and didn't replace those.
>>128071449
you should be able to use browserhax
>transfer to another sd card from 16gb to 64 gb
>big blue menu no longer works
>NTR no longer runs
>every other install might be fucked up
>don't know where to start troubleshooting
>more space
was it worth it
>>128071225
I reworded that part of the guide
http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW
You should be overwriting the files. They arn't needed anymore.
>>128071345honestly I doubt that it is and it's just luck/superstition but it seems to work for everyone I have suggested it, so maybe it is a thing
>>128071483
My mistake, I worded it poorly. Updated now.
Anyway I'm going bed now. I'll be back in 6ish hours to help you fuckheads some more.
>>128071328
I have Big Blue Menu installed and it isn't wrapped everytime. I guess I'm in the clear.
>>128071378
That's good to know. So as long as RX-E is displayed in the bottom right of the top screen, I should be able to update my emuNAND, right?
>>128071450
Thanks anon, here have a Hikage
>>128071524
It boots me back into the Home menu and gives me an error.
Works fine on my 10.3 EmuNAND, but that wouldn't do anything to my SysNAND.
I installed rxtools, FBI was on the home screen. When I clicked it it said "application wont run please redownload" or something like that. Went to settings to check the firmware, came back and now it's gone. Any ideas?
>>128071328
>if you need to unwrap your installed CIAs everytime you boot into emuNAND, that means they're linked.
wait really?
i took out my sd card and formatted, but when i put the sd card back in it went back to the old account and i still have to wrap them.
how do you make sure they are unlinked?
>>128071278
Would Scrooge McDuck be for pirating, since he hates spending money?
>>128071405
hold L *just* after you get out of rx tools. this should boot emunand WITHOUT menuhax. Change the theme once to break menuhax on emunand.
You will also need to do some shit with the title.db etc stuff before you can install apps with FBI
alright so i wiped everyting and im trying to go with the literally retarded edition
but now when i try and load into browser hax the fucking screen stays red everytime i tap the little bar
>>128071563
reformat the card and start from scratch. honestly probably faster than trying a million things for a weird problem probably unique to you so no guides etc.
>>128071587
Yes. Just dont exit when you see the RX at the top. Stay in settings and update
>>128071750
yeah it does that, browserhax is finicky
click the slider on the right, hope for the best, initialize data everytime it will work eventually

red screen means you're missing a file. you extracted starter.zip to your sdroot?
don't forget to clear browser cookies/history between attempts.
I'm a bit confused on how exactly you boot into emuNAND. I've created the emuNAND and it's on my card, and i can't access the homebrew menu through the browser (it just goes to a red screen right before it'd normally start).
Following http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji if it helps.

I keep trying but it fails every time. Looking for what could be causing this. My NANDs are still unlinked and all that, but the update on emuNAND keeps failing.
>>128072236
Why are their so many faggots using cakes
When it says "Create a cia folder in your SD's root, what do I name the folder? Just "cia"?
Also, where can I find themes for the theme manager? I'm not going to install it if I can't find any themes.
>>128069410
>Make new threads after 750 Posts
Fuck off. There's no fire and people will wind up asking more questions in the old thread during the additional time you create before it 404s.
Reposting because I can't find an answer.
Why can't I install any CIAs on the 9.5 firmware bin while using Cakes? I have to be on 9.2, I don't even think the installed CIAs show up on the home menu after they're installed even on the 9.2 one.
so
rxtools 2.6 doesn't work on n3ds
rxtools 3.0 is apparently shit
cakes is also apparently shit
all options are shit for new 3ds users?
What's the minimum size SD card required to do CFW and pirating on 3DS?
>>128072474
Because I can't do this >>128069574.
so should I be installing games in my sysNand or Emunand?
Does anyone have a guide for setting up dual emunands?
Id like to put a US emunand on my japanese N3DS

install with BBM
I installed FBI, installed rxTools and now I'm on some special firmware
now tell me how to get the bideo games
>>128072612
Cakes isn't shit, and the stable nightly builds of rxTools are good.
n3ds
So I need to inject FBI into the health and safety app on my emunand for which I was directed to this guide: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-inject-any-app-into-health-safety-o3ds-n3ds-cfw-only.402236/
Which says I need "Some way to run Decrypt9 " with no explanation of what it is or how to use, so I find a guide on decrypt9: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-decrypt-extract-and-rebuild-a-cia.388677/
Which says I first need to open slot0x25KeyX.bin with a hex editor and "and replace 00 with the key."
Now lost since don't know shit about hex editors or what to do with one.
>>128072661
64GB
Does anyone have Devil Survivor Overclocked's us cia?
>>128072612
cakes works fine, you just need to use the right firmware.bin. Most people are retards and mistake menuhax not booting with cakes.
>>128072743
So it doesn't matter what it is named, as long as it has the .cia's in it? Because I have a folder named "updates" filled with cia files.
I could just make a new folder, in the root of my SD card, named "ROMS" and put all my shit in there? (I'm sorry for the retard level questions, I just really don't want to fuck all my shit up.)
Thanks for the help, anon.
>>128072084
BRICK
>>128072612
The only thing shit about cakes is the boot rate. and the others aren't much better at booting either.
I'm a pretty big fan of cakes + NTR. Especially with the overclock plugin. Let's us use 804 MHZ + l2 cache in all games.
so i've managed to downgrade to 9.2, created EMUnand and unlinked EMUnand and SYSnand
how do i install menuhax once more? homebrew launcher or rxtools won't boot, and doing the browserhax opens rxtools, and i didn't see any option to install menuhax from it
So what size sd card should i get? I downgraded to 9.2 but i only have a 2gb card and a 4gb card thats not formated with the 3ds but im guessing thats too small, gonna go buy a bigger one tomorrow. Should i first do everything then do the copy method for a bigger card?
With the CHMM2 install method from pastebin.
After I install it do I delete the CIA from the SD?
Same with BigBlueMenu?
Any good JPN games with translation patches besides MHX?
>>128073002
.cias are safe to delete from your SD after installing them
YOU FAGGOTS TOLD ME TO FORMAT MY 3DS AND NOW I BARELY GET PAST THE BLACK SCREEN
I figured out my problem. Who is in charge of the pastebin so he can change something which was damn vital information.
>>128072043
I have nothing to do really, and I got help from /hbg/, so I might as well help others.
I installed FBI, installed rxTools and now I'm on some special firmware
Where do I go from here?
>>128072778
>>128072862
alright guess I'll try cakes then
if it somehow doesn't work I can always restore a backup and try rxtools nightly since it's emunand I guess
>>128069410
I think I've managed to rename the wrong boot file to brew.3dsx
Does anyone know which one I'm meant to use, the guide isn't really clear. Is my original brew fine? Or am I meant to rename my old boot to brew or the one that emunand9 makes?
>>128072841

downgraded to 9.2 but now I can't boot into homebrew launcher. Holding L while starting up doesn't work, but it was working before.
Is there any way around this, or will I have to restart?
I was using Julian's sysUpdater, but I kept getting this error
I switched to TuxSH, and I didn't get the error, btu after I hit Y on sysUpdater, it just stayed there for about 5 minutes.
I worried I had bricked it, so I shut it off and turned it back on
It's functioning, now, but I don't know if I want to downgrade it after that. Maybe I'll just wait for a better release before I gamble with my N3DS
>>128072976
are you auto-booting? then you likely changed the boot.3dsx file to something else (boot_hb.3dsx or some shit). You need to find the hblauncher payload on your sdcard, open it with any editor, find "boot.3dsx" and change it to whatever you renamed it to.
>>128072983
32gb is okay. 64 better. 128 is bestest
>>128073105

>>128072983
64 or bigger. i've got a 32gig and i'm already running out with 23 games
How many games can 32 GB hold? Probably gonna upgrade since 8GB isn't doing so well so I was thinking 16, or 32 and probably sticking with 32.

Sorry, but every guide I find is either a) outdated b) uses different methods than what I used or c) the writer won't do a guide on how to pirate games
Is it normal if, sometimes when entering the System Settings from emuNAND, it brings me to the sysNAND settings instead? It seems very bizarre because, as far as I can tell, my NANDs are unlinked still (the gift wrap glitch isn't showing up and exiting the emuNAND settings screen when I actually reach it takes me to the sysNAND home menu), but on occasion, the emuNAND System Settings will take me to the sysNAND settings for some reason. What the hell is going on?

The pastebin for retards? Thats me, but im off PC and about to sleep
Tell me the problem and I'll change it in the morning though
>>128072661
200GB
You can squeak by with an 8gb, but you'll have to learn how to uninstall games and I haven't seen any anons mention that yet so maybe not much guides and stuff.
You can get sandisk 64 gb for $20, so that's what I went with.
Also there are 8gb no-name, blank suspicious ones on ebay for ~$3.50. I've used them for mp3 and they work fine, just dunno if I'd trust them with a pokemon save etc. Stay away from blank/shitty ebay cards for anything over 8gb, had problems with a 32gb one.
And one anon posted a link to a sorta-legit looking chinese brand 128gb for $30 on amazon.
N3DS unable to download .cia files via FBI
NANDs are unlinked, running cakes.
Troubleshoot, please?
so I'm >>128070204
I'm following this guide
http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
would the firmware.bin and firmkey.bin there work fine on 9.1? Or are they specific for 9.2?
>>128073391
in a folder, name it whatever you want
use FBI to install Big Blue Menu use BBM to install games, etc
I'M STARTING TO PICNIC
I'm about in the middle of hacking my O3DS with a 4GB SD card, I know I'll need a bigger one so I ordered a 32GB SD card off Amazon.
Thing is, the 32GB one won't arrive until Monday.
So, can I still continue hacking the 3DS with my 4GB SD card, then once the 32GB one comes in the mail, transfer everything from the 4 to the 32?
>>128072704
pls respond
>>128073118
pls help
>>128073159
What a 3ds cant hold that size? what normal size can i use up to?
>>128073582
Yes, you'll be able to downgrade, that's what's important. Do that and then wait for your card.
Has anyone here converted .cias themselves? Is the end result .cia supposed to be like half the size of the original .3ds?
How much time it takes to downgrade?, I pressed Y and it started to install stuff, went to pee and when coming back I only see a black screen on my o3ds.
>>128073118
Assuming your using the guide for retards:
brew.3dsx is just the hb launchers boot.3dsx file
If your really confused, download the starter.zip again and rename the boot.3dsx from there to brew.3dsx
>>128073582
yes
>>128072596
Maybe you never went into Cakes' options and disabled sig checking?
>>128073615
emuNAND
Unless they are GBA or VC cias, in which case you have to install them in both if you unlinked NANDs.
>>128073615
emunand ffs, dont touch your sysnand unless is absolutely necessary
>>128073391
>where
wherever you want
>with what
FBI or BBM, whatever you installed
>>128073392
yes, that's supposed to happen. leaving system settings results in a soft reboot. hold your menuhax trigger when leaving system settings to get back to emunand
>>128073582
yes, hack away for now. use:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-transfer-emunand-to-another-sd-card-working-on-new3ds.383684/
when you get your new sdcard
>>128073705
It took my o3DS about 3-4 minutes from the moment I hit Y. It should show a list of files and green "Installed" text beside each one
>>128073497
You said if you have a homebrew launcher skip this step. I did and went to B. However I read the part I skipped after failing a lot, and saw that the very next line that I skipped told me I needed menuhax installed as well. You need to change it to say only by having both homebrew launcher and menuhax, skip this step.
>>128073582
you'll need to use the emunand tool, 1.0.1
>>128073695
>>128073582
>>128073817
Shit forgot to mention I already downgraded to 9.2.0
Right now I'm currently at the step of installing FBI.
I can still go through the whole process right? Is 4GB enough for everything (not including games)?
>>128070690
are you using emunand with rxmode?
>>128073549
do some shit with your db files. some guides have stuff on it. basically you create blank files for title.db and ... whatever the other .db file is and then you go into system settings and it rebuilds them for you
(for you)
>>128073686
up to 128gb with the correct format of FAT32 and 32kb cluster size
If you already have your microSD working in your 3DS or want to keep your contents, you of course skip this step. This only needs to be done if you set up a new microSD.
Find a microSD of desired size. I used a SanDisk 64GB Ultra SDXC but any good brand should do the job.
The card needs to be formatted to FAT32. If using a SDHC (up to 32GB) you can just use Windows' own right-click on drive format tool for that.
If you have a larger SDXC, Windows won't let you format it to FAT32, so use a tool called guiformat
Simply select your drive letter which is your microSD and click Start
Put the card in your N3DS and start it. This creates the \Nintendo 3DS folder.
>>128073705
power off and remove sd card. Than reboot with out the sd card
>restarting in 10 seconds...
>get black screen
H-help.
>>128073887
Woops, noted.
I'll sleep now and update it tomorrow.
>>128069410
When doing the fbi install before you set up the emunand is there a way to do it without pasta/minipasta? Pasta worked on my n3ds, but neither one of them work with my o3ds.
>>128073920
yeah it's fine
>>128073920
o3ds? 4gb is enough to get emunand going too. just doesn't leave much room for games.
emunand creates a 1gb (o3ds) partition on your sdcard, leaving you with 3 (ish) leftover.
Since nobody appears to have a solution for my problem, can i just format my card to start over our do i need special steps? I got up to the point where you unlink the NANDs.
Additionally, what's the best guide for new 3ds? The retard guide is only o3ds.
>>128074046
Power off
remove sd
turn on, check if correctly downgraded
insert SD
change theme
browserhax and reinstall menuhax
New to this, tried downgrading to 9.2 on 3DS and was successful, started setting up CFW by following this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
Everything was going great until I installed TinyFormat to the Home screen and ran it, at which point my 3DS reset like it was fresh out of the box, forgetting my language/internet settings/miis/etc. My firmware is still 9.2. Where did I fuck up?
I kind of figured something was up when FBI wasn't installed to the home screen properly but I was too excited to double-check. I can just run all the steps from the beginning again, right?
>>128073920
You can still go through the process. However, 4GB is not very much if you plan to install many games. Just create a disk image of your 4GB and then restore your image on the 32GB because copy+paste will not work
4.2 guy here, I just remembered my last NAND backup was from 9.2!
So my question is, can I import my 9.2 NAND into my 4.2 sysNAND without fucking up any of my EmuNAND stuff? How do I do import the backup? Can anyone give me the retard version of doing that?
>>128074016
im just gonna buy a normal SDHC 32gigs and format it i guess
>>128074016
bad idea, only format those cards using SD Formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
>>128073531
Damn you can't uninstall games? No wonder people said this isn't as popular and easy as DS/PSP
>>128074073
>>128074075
>>128074189
Thank God.
The whole BEWARE THE 11TH OF JANUARY chaos was making me nervous about just barely missing the Piracy Train.
>>128074175
did you create emunand already? if so, it's still there. you just need to re-menuhax to regain access (don't forget to go into theme menu first to create the db). your nands are now unlinked.
Anyone else having problems with CHMM2? Its works in my homebrew menu but the cia pretty much boots to nothing. no GUI and nothing works.
>>128074254
I used minitool partition wizard desu
After following the retard edition guide for hacking my 3ds, I'm stuck again. I was unlinking my NAND's. Took out my SD card and did the reformat. Now holding L does nothing on start up. How do I fix this?Why is this so much more difficult than Wii exploits back in the day?
Reposting this because I'm an idiot
I don't have FBI in emunand mode, only sysnand. It works in sysnand mode, but when I try to ANY cias in emunand (from HBL) mode it gives me errors like "source_am_start_cia_install" "summary_wrong_argument" "description invalid command"
>>128073785
I did, I think I'm going to start from the beginning if I can't figure this out.
>>128074271
you can uninstall games no problem, just uninstall them normally like you would any other 3DS game
>>128074356
it will work but it won't be as fast
>>128074361
you just need to re-menuhax to regain access (don't forget to go into theme menu first to create the db). your nands are now unlinked.
>>128074254
SD Formatter now forces ExFAT on >32GB cards, it won't even work. Use FAT32 Formatter or any advanced partitioning tool of your choice.
>>128074382
when I try to install*
>>128074175
That's normal. Since your emunand and sysnand are being treated as two different systems, you'll have to set up your profile and stuff for your "new" system again. You aren't fucked.
downgraded my 3ds a few hours ago, launched the homebrew channel, back upped by nand, installed emunand, updated emunand and all that jazz
currently installing my first .cia game (codename steam). i hope everything works, because this was a huge pain in the ass, even compared to the earlier psp hacks.
>>128074340
Not that Anon, but do i need to add the starter kit again then install menuhax?
>>128074497
oh does it?
I guess they changed it
>>128074361
>Why is this so much more difficult than Wii exploits back in the day?
It isn't. You're just doing more stuff that you didn't do on the Wii and there's no rom loader. That's it.
HOW DO I USE my r4 card?
I'm on rx tools 10.9 nands are unlinked if that matters
so yall got good sites for roms
Ok, does anyone have any tips on getting back into homebrew after launching PastaCFW? No matter how many times I try the browser just crashes after the PastaCFW has kicked me back to the home menu.
>open Animal Crossing
>letter from Nintendo
>panic thinking its a warning because they know I pirated
>tears in my eyes
>so scared
>open letter
t-thanks nintendo
I have the emunand on my card and a bunch of other stuff.
Followed a guide on GBAtemp and got fucked because the guide isn't really complete.
How do I start over? How do I even format the SD card? I couldn't get rxtools to work or anything so I don't think my 3DS is that fucked up.
>>128074580
depends, did you rename boot.3dsx from the starter kit? usually included as part of instructions to autoboot emunand. i don't think that's until later on in most guides though.
>>128073887
Holy shit, it took me like 1 minute, that's why I was scared.
>>128074024
Thanks anon!, 9.2.0 master race incoming.
>>128074382
Yeah dude what if the firmkey.bin needs remaking. Just start a new cakes folder with nothing but your firmware.bin and cetk.
Any idea why my 9.2 n3ds can't launcher the Gateway menu through the browser? Launcher.dat is at the root of my sd card but the page just sits at "Gateway 3ds loading..." and doesn't actually do anything
>>128074678
Top notch pirating skills
FINALLY DOOONE. Now where can I get some roms and themes?
>>128074072
Anyone?
2DS works like the original 3DS when it comes to the update you pick, right?
>>128074770
I did not rename it and no idea how to autoboot. I just know that my NANDs are unlinked, menuhax doesn't work now, and browserhax gives me a red screen.
>>128069574
In the rxtools files there should be a ninjhax folder, put that in the 3ds folder for hb apps
>>128074873
>from a top notch kickass team
How has Nintendo not been able to detect emunand or eshop spoofing at all? I mean, I'm glad they're incompetent but I don't get it.
>>128074916
Yes.
>>128074916
yes
>>128074876
on the internet
so performing cfw on N3DS is still hit or miss at best?
I downgraded to 9.2, but the FBI cia refuses to be installed. How do I get it to install properly?
>>128073946
Do you do this in emuNAND or sysNAND?
I assume DS games cannot be installed? Best place to get an R4?
>>128074594
Yeah, they changed it all the way back in 2013 or something when they added proper SDXC support. It barely even mentions it, it just says "yep it's compliant with standards" (which happen to say ExFAT for SDXC cards because leeching money with patents). Only thing that even mentions it is the manual saying that you need the ExFAT driver for SDXC cards.
>>128074916
Yep, the only thing you need to know is that downgrading a 2DS or any of its components (MSET) below 6.0 is a very bad idea. Stick to 9.2 + Menuhax, don't go off into retard Gateway downgrading land.
>>128074760
anyone?
>>128074760
do you have access to emunand9? if so, use that to wipe emunand.
>>128074647
>>128074876
3dsio, mega folders get posted in these threads that have a couple dozen games
also 3dsthem.es
>>128074928
backup your sdcard, just to be safe, then re-extract starter.zip. don't forget to wipe browser cookies/history or re-initialize data.
>>128074968
too much work for too little payoff. sure, a thousand neckbeards can pirate their shit, but that's a drop in the bucket.
>>128075057
whichever nand you're having problems with.
>>128075071
no, not natively.
Hypothetical question
My 3DS is unlinked (Sys/Emu)
I'm in EmuNand, I launch eShop
I download my legit ambassador GBA games
Will they work? Because I see problems with people installing them nonlegit so I'm curious
>>128074294
As long as you're on 9.2 you don't have anything to fear from January 11th unless you foolishly update
>>128075039
You have to run pastaCFW or minipasta first and then go back to homebrew to install it
MAKE SURE IT IS ON YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE FORMATTING EMUNAND OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T DO SHIT
>>128072857
This torrent has it. http://www.btgg.org/h/6756726
Can anyone tell me if I'm doing anything wrong? This is what my SD card looks like
I keep getting soft bricked while downgrading, I haven't gotten any other problem while doing this, didn't get frozen before browserhax, didn't get a "failed to get CIA file info", and the reboot when it "downgrades" is almost exactly 10 seconds, maybe even less
Every guide says that I should start all over when reinstalling 10.3, but menuhax stays installed and I don't even have to go through browserhax
>>128075116
>>128074993
>>128075013
Thanks for the quick answers. Also, updated to 10.3 to use the tried and true downgrade method to make it easy on me. Thanks for the advice
Trying to install the cias and feel stupid.
What is the cakes folder?
Downgraded to 9.2, but when I try loading into ironfall to go back to homebrew menu it gets stuck on 3DS loading screen.
If I restore a NAND backup to sysNAND will it affect my EmuNAND at all, aside from how I boot into it?
i manged to complete this guide and all: http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji, right now im using CakesFW
but i have this error with alegit smash cart i have, i downloaded the update from the Eshop, but when i run my game it says that theres no data and i cant save my game, not to mention my 3ds crashes when i press the home button.
i tried downloading the patch from the eshop and direct download fron the home menu, and neither worked...
is this error because Cakes?, if so, how can i switch to another CFW?

yes, they will work without issue.
>>128075254
ironfall works on 9.5+. just use menuhax
>>128075257
no, it won't effect emunand at all. you just need to re-exploit sysnand to get into emunand.
My RxTools didn't come with a code.bin
Can someone send one my way
>>128075263
I want to know this too.
Anyways hey anons, I'm on 9.5 emuNAND on my N3DS. Is there any way I can get Yokai Watch to work?
Also how would I get my physical copy of Happy Home Designer to work?
how to download and play smash DLC if I have the cartridge ??
I just followed the retards guide and got to the part of unlinking the NANDS. Finished that and now i cant launch into bootmanager by holding r, anyone know whats going on here? I can get into rx tools by using the qr code but just cant boot. Thanks

Perfect, this will solve literally every problem I've got myself into with this thing, and save me from doing the entire thing from scratch.
Thanks a lot anon.
>>128074667
Anyone? This is all after the downgrade. Homebrew just refuses to launch a second time.
