>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.

I put my physical smash 4 game while in emunand. I update the game via eshop. When I launch smash4 it still asks me to get the update. How do I play physical copy of smash 4 with updates? I spent too much time trying to figure it out.
>>128088281
Posted right before new thread,
Anything I should be aware of in the process for installing 3DS games that require 2 files due to size of it's download? Doing FE Fates to see if it works for example. Just extract both to the CIA folder and I'll either run one or both of the files in big blue and it'll all be k?
Also it's great once you get it going anons, keep trucking. Make backup saves of your full SD before every (few) big steps and you shouldn't have too much to fear, just go back and redo it carefully.
>>128081761
Oh, my bad. Looks like the link I used to taken down. The rxtools back has a folder with a python script that fetches the firmware for you, so if you can't find it, you can use that one, hope that helps.
So I did everything up to installing some CIA on my 3ds but I was lacking some space, so I decided to delete my 3ds downloaded games from my SD card via my computer (I have a backup, I figured I'd be fine, and that I'd be able to re-download them from my updated Emunand if it didn't work out)
And so it turns out there was something in the Nintendo3ds folder that fucked up my CFW and everything, does anyone know what the fuck happened that fucked up? And what would be the easiest way to recover
Really dreading the option of re-installing the CFW and everything
>>128088330
I could update mine just fine, I'm on legit download though
I'm trying to downgrade my 3DS firmware but the guide says I need to remove the tubehax DNS.
How the fuck do I do that?
So I used tinyformat to unlink emu and sysnand, but now none of my old eshop games and saves show up even though it looks like they're still on the card. What do?
>>128088330
One of the anons that was helping you here
To be honest you'd probably be better off just getting the .cia and updating it with eshop. I can confirm that it fully works online and you can install all the dlc for free too. And it all comes out to only around 1.5GB
Wish I could help more, sorry.
I'm pretty glad I spotted this thread before the update happened
>>128088461
Maybe it's my CFW. What cfw are you using?
>>128088494
Seconding this
Linking back to >>128088336 just in case. I need to access RXTools, not emunand. How do I access CTRBootmanager from emunand?
I'm sincerely sorry to everyone for being fucking stupid. I'm tired and just wanna get this done already after like 5 hours.
>>128088489
Did you ever use tubehax? If not don't worry about it.
if so, go to system setting and set your wifi settings to auto obtain dns
>post yfw you downgraded all your 3ds before they fix it
>>128088494
I'm having the same issue although I used the Emunand9 homebrew to do so. Gonna paste my response before the thread moved:
So I'm done with the whole process for downgrading and the installing emunand/custom firmware on my New 3ds, but now it seems I ran into a snag. My emunand does not seem to have any of my games/fbi installed to it. The SD card definitely shows the games still being on the card and I know the Emunand backup worked because my Nintendo Network ID is present on my Emunand (along with my friends still being on my friends list, which means it had to be using the ID folder that contained all my games). The only thing that seems strange is that when looking at the partition in Disk Management, it shows the partition as unallocated.
Did I screw something up here? I feel like in order for the titles to show up I need to first sign into my Nintendo Network ID, but that requires me to update to do so. Is it okay to use the same sysUpdater used to downgrade to 9.2 to upgrade to 9.5 on my emunand or do I need another version? Or is that not going to fix my missing title problem?
>>128088617
I sold a 3DS XL a few days ago for cheap.
Shit would be worth like 3 times more if I had waited and installed CFW on it.
Suffering.
>>128088603
I did that as well as delete the connection and establish it. Someone said it saved in the kernal or something and will still fuck it up.
>>128088584
>>128088494
back up emunand with emunand tool, format emunand in system settings, re-inject emunand with emunand tool, copy /Nintendo 3DS/ folder back on card

11th is when ninty makes an update to the nintendo network. by all means, take every precaution. not to stir up anything or fearmonger, but you really cant do anything if its fixed.
>>128088845
There is a full DLC cia on 3dsiso (about 3.2 MEGABYTES because on-cart DLC jewtendo) that I installed with FBI and it gave me literally everything. I had to press A repeatedly for over a minute because of all the "you obtained" notifications.
I updated my MHX English patch and now the game wont start, it just stays on the Nintendo 3ds screen and never goes anywhere.
Finally done, and it only took 5 hours worth of troubleshooting.
Now to finally play some dank video games.
How do transfer old games from download from SD to card on new the one once works after all it?
I unlinked my emunand from the sysnand and now the 3ds won't load the sd card
Hey guys, I know this thread must be filled to the brim with people trying to get the custom firmware working, however, I would like a little help. I just found out that the 3DS has been cracked, and I want to make sure I don't fuck this up to be honest. I currently have a spare 3DS in my possession and wish to try this out. It's an old 3DS with the firmware of 9.5.0-22u. What would be the best way to apply the CFW if I may ask? Do I follow the old way, or should I update to the latest version and then downgrade? Also I do need an external SD card right? What's a preferred size if I may ask since I'm assuming the games will load from the card itself? Thanks in advance.
>>128088975
yeah, i see it, but I dont want to fuck shit up, okay heres the question then, is there a CFW or am i supposed to downgrade?
>>128088981
sysnANDS works when i hold X (selected button) its not bricked...
>>128089110
Well to be fair you can play online with people who don't have it so you kind of need it installed
>>128089150
Did you format EmuNAND or SysNAND, and did you use TinyFormat or System Settings?
Did you copy your Nintendo 3DS folder back on?
>>128088945
Such is the life of us Steamfags.
>>128089186
READ IT. Take 5 minutes and just do it, faggot. Then you can ask.
I'm on a JP N3DS on the latest firmware.
Managed to get browserhax running.
Region free launcher runs my US region games in Japanese. How do I make the games run in English?
so, if i want to switch sd cards, do i have to do it all over again or is it enough to just copy the files to the new sd?
>>128088765
You need the new firmware.bin for 9.5. It's somewhere in this zip. Need to rename it 0004013820000002.bin
http://filetrip.net/dl?yTC45q3w3L
>>128089212

>>128089276
EmuNAND partitioned your SD card, so it is not that simple.
I installed Fire Emblem Awakening DLC.
But when I ran FE on my cart, I had no DLC.
And I guess I just had to acces the dlc menu, but it asked me to update, what the fuck?
>>128089192
Then go to browserhax and reinstall menuhax u big dummy.
remember to do the theme thingy.
>>128089168
i think you can downgrade directly from 9.5.
>>128089270
have you tried changing the system language?
I updated my Emunand to 9.5, but now every time I load Emunand it's just say "preparing to start home menu," as if it was downloading something, but nothing actually downloads and it just phase out leaving a black screen.
What do I have to do to get my supercard dstwo working on emunand? It was working fine on 10.3 but now that i'm on emunand 9.5 it just loads to a black screen
>>128089276
>>128089205
I followed the guide and removed the SD card, then formatted sysnand with the system settings. I plugged the SD card into the computer and all the shit is there to be sure.
>>128089376
Okay, I haven't done any CFW before on this console. So I'd want to follow the downgrade guide up above, or would this:
http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW
work just fine?
>>128089407
seems easy enough, thank you.
Holy shit, after all the trouble, I'm FINALLY done with all the mandatory steps on the retard guide. On 2DS.
So, what next?
I see that the guide says, for installing BigBlueMenu, that clicking health and safety opens CIA. Mine doesn't do that. Does that happen during the installation of BigBlueMenu?
Best place for getting games?
After setting up CFW and everything, I think I'm ready to install CIAs of the games I want...my issue is that when I'm on emuNAND, I can't seem to get FBI/BigBlueMenu installed to the homescreen by running FBI through the homebrew launcher, so that's making me worried about installing games in the first place. FBI says the CIAs are installed and I'm overwriting them, so where the hell do I find them? Am I actually writing them to sysNAND somehow?
>>128089510
You skipped the injecting FBI into Health and Safety part.
>>128089110
Thanks. I'll get that one. I just found out I downloaded cloud dlc for EUR.
i did all this crazy shit and now i can't use browserhax to get the homebrew launcher open. i go to the QR code and it's just a white page
>>128088281
Hey, Macfag with the Japanese O3DS here. Got downgraded to 9.2, and had a few questions as I start up the rxTools portion of the retards' guide.
First off, pic related. Is there a way to get around the 'running the firmware_download.bat file' part of the guide? Or am I going to need to borrow a Windows machine / recode pic related to use Unix commands instead of DOS?
Second question is what does the guide mean when it says that unlinking the NANDs will affect DSiware and GBA VC games? Wouldn't it still work fine on SysNAND since that's running off of actual hardware? Or does the process of unlinking NANDs make it unusable in both?
Lastly, why have Anons recommended in the past to set up the console to boot to EmuNAND on start? Is it significantly more confusing/cumbersome to switch from SysNAND to EmuNAND otherwise?
Just a few questions, though the .bat file one is the main blocker for now.
>>128089461
So you've already formatted EmuNAND too? Are you booting a CFW like rxTools or Cakes? Do you have any NAND.bin or EmuNAND.bin backups?
>>128089110
Do you know if the full dlc thing works if you already have some of the dlcs downloaded?
>>128089673
>Lastly, why have Anons recommended in the past to set up the console to boot to EmuNAND on start? Is it significantly more confusing/cumbersome to switch from SysNAND to EmuNAND otherwise?
yes, and its not automatic. you really dont need to go into your sysnand at all.
>>128089673
see >>128089323 or
that where do I find- link in the pastebin
Everything I look at the system setting in emuNANDS I get booted to sysNANDS even after unlinking them.
Did they link each other again because I installed menuhax on sysNANDS again?
>>128088831
>>128088831
Somebody please help me sort this out. l really dont wanna go to work without this solved D:
I'm seeing "online patched" CIAs, what the hell are these even?
I thought online would work fine if I was on 10.3 CFW out of the box? Do I need these versions?
>>128089675
I don't think I even installed a cfw yet.
Step D
http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW
>>128089561
Strange, I'm pretty sure I didn't.
Now that I'm up to 10.whatever, can I still just repeat lines 146 to 154 on the retard guide to fix this?
>>128089673
>Is it significantly more confusing/cumbersome to switch from SysNAND to EmuNAND otherwise?
I don't find it very cumbersome, and certainly less confusing. I don't turn off my 3DS very much so an extra 30 seconds on startup is not worth complaining about as I don't see it very often.
im getting a black screen after updating to cakes cfw 9.5, or the infamous "Setting up Home Menu" to black screen, what do?
>>128088281
I've successfully downgraded my 3ds to 9.2 however my ds wouldn't start if my sd card was in, whenever I took it out it would start up just fine....
So I was told to backup the sd card and format I've done that but my games aren't showing up or any of the extra data
>>128088628
Bumping cause I would really like to figure out what's causing the issue
>>128089878
do you have enough free space on your SD card? you might need more space than the cia filesize. are you sure the cia's aren't corrupt?
>>128090000
You dumb fucking moron, this is addressed right in the op and 3DS pastebin too. Nice quads!
What is this cakes I keep hearing people talk of? I never had to touch anything named that during my process? Though I haven't messed with anything outside of 3ds games yet.
>>128089130
>>128089130
>>128089130
anybody have any idea?
it only started after I installed the 1.1 update, but after that I uninstalled the v9 cia and reinstalled to see if that would work but it didnt.
One question, now that I'm on 10.3 emunand will I have any problems playing mh4u from my cartridge? I'm way too afraid of losing my save so I would love some confirmation.
On that note, can I dump my games from the gateway page and convert them to cia to keep my saves? Id love to not have to bring carts with me whenever I bring my 3ds somewhere.
>>128089352
Comeone, what do I do?
>>128090070
Alternative to rxtools
So I've formatted a new SD card in emuNAND tool and moved the emuNAND backup I made onto the new SD card, but rxtools says that it cannot be found.
I've unlinked my NANDs already, did I miss a step in getting the new SD card working?
>>128090014
>>128088628
I'm having this same issue, would also like to know.
>>128088281
Is it possible (or rather safe) to update the .cia games you download?
>>128090070
It's another CFW, an alternative to rxTools. It does certain things better, it does certain things worse. But most annoyingly, it doesn't do region-free so eh whatever.
>>128089603
Np, it's the third thread when you search "smash"
>>128089740
Not sure, I never owned the game before.

>Wii U: 5.5 (Upcoming IOSU exploit)
Is there anything I need to do right now in regards to this? I mean, I get >don't update but can i still play Mario Maker and shit without disabling Wi-Fi? Does TubeHax DNS work on Wii U?
How essential is unlinking the NANDs?
The guide is ambiguous. It starts off by saying it's very important, but then waves it off as "skip this step if you want to play GBA VC games".
I do want to play GBA VC games, should I skip it?
>>128090145
>>128090187
Ah, thanks
>>128089890
But you've already formatted EmuNAND? Does plugging your SD card in your computer say "EMUNAND9SD" or "GATEWAYNAND" on it?
If it does, that's your old NAND running off your SD card, which is EmuNAND and what you should use to see all your games/saves, because it reads from the correct /Nintendo 3DS/ folder
To run emunand, you need a cfw set up, like rxtools or cakes (N3DS only)
1) Download this: https://mega.nz/#!XdMCgA5J!3Vxv4Aejx-iVaZKhItNK-XJjduMqV7vNiH9q0vvAK04
2) Run firmware_download.bat and let it do it's thing
3) Place firmware.bin inside \FOR SD CARD ROOT\rxTools\sys\
4) Copy and Paste everything inside the "FOR SD CARD ROOT" into the root of the SD card
5) Put the SD card into your 3DS
6) Open Homebrew Launcher (Hold L when turning the 3DS on)
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.
17) Put the SD card back into the 3DS and hold L while you turn it on
18) Instead of the Homebrew Launcher you will now see the CTRBootManager. From here you can boot rxTools or Homebrew Launcher.
19) Select rxTools and hold L to enter the rxTools menu
20) Go to Advanced > Install FBI > emuNAND > Check TMD. Make note of the Region and the Version.
21) Turn the 3DS off and put the SD card back into the PC
22) Go to the "fbi_injection" folder you downloaded in step 1 and open the folder for your region.
23) Open the folder for your Version
24) Drag and drop "fbi_inject.app" and "fbi_inject.tmd" from that folder to the root of your SD card
25) Put the SD card in your 3DS and boot back into rxTools Menu (see steps 17-19)
26) Go to Advanced > Install FBI > emuNAND > Inject FBI.
27) Once it is finished, turn off the console and do steps 17 and 18
28) Select rxTools but do not hold the L button
28) You're done: You now have a linked EmuNAND.
>>128090116
Did you download dlc for another region? I haven't downloaded dlcs yet so that's my only guess
>>128090017
here is the same cia on BBM. l´ve been downloading CIAs but all of them are corrupted (at least thats what l get) thing is that l´ve been downloading from https://mega.nz/#F!cc10iZ7I!6lsenuB_u1kvLukCOpDXSA and 3dsISO.
Worst part is that yesterday l was able to install a few games.

>>128090259
Whoops, skip steps 4-6, that's not necessary and only wastes space (because you already formatted emunand)
I installed the latest CIA build using FBI and when it loads, it says to press Power to initialize the program. I press Power and get this:
Error: [string "?"]:111: cannot intialize Sound moduleh
Press A to restart
Press B to exit
Press Y to enable FTP server
FTP state: OFF
What do I do when I get the "Failed to get CIA file info!" error?

I'VE BEEN ACCESSING RXTOOLS THROUGH CTRBOOTMANAGER TO ACCESS THIS SCREEN FOR THE FUCKING INJECTION SHIT AND I KEEP GOING BACK TO EMUNAND
HOW THE FUCK DO I DO ANYTHING IN RXTOOLS

Like I said, fuck FBI injection. Flash your old NAND.bin back into SysNAND via Gateway Launcher (press A while holding Up on Downgrade console) and get FBI on sysnand first via homemenuhax>pasta>hold homemenuhax trigger button to cancel coldboot>browserhax>FBI.3dsx>FBI.cia
then format emunand with emunand9 (back up files first) and then format sysnand with tinyformat
do homemenuhax>pasta>hold homemenuhax trigger button to cancel coldboot>browserhax>FBI.3dsx>FBI.cia again to get FBI on sysnand too
How do I return to the homebrew launcher after running the region free launcher?
>>128090259
The SD card is called EMUNAND9SD.
I've followed all the steps in the order of the guide, so I think all of that is already done. Its just the 3DS won't load the SD card at all.
>>128088281
the guide links in the OP are broken, does anyone have links to backup guides?
followed the flowchart, my 3ds won't boot into emunand though. pic is my current sd root, any ideas on where I fucked up?

Nigga the downgrade process is the same for 9.3 to 10.3
>>128090703
>Its just the 3DS won't load the SD card at all.
I don't understand what you mean. Does it even boot into rxTools EmuNAND? You don't see any of your games/saves unless you boot into the EmuNAND you formatted.
The few times I'm able to get sysUpdater to load, it now gives me the "unable to get cia information" when I hit Y. Before, I successfully installed the downgrade three times, but upon reboot my 3ds was soft-bricked (tried removing the SD card and it still gave an error on boot). O3DS didn't give me nearly this much trouble.Yes, I did make sure I downloaded the N3DS firmware
ANYONE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING DLC TO WORK?
IT INSTALLS BUT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE GAME. IT MATCHES MY REGION.
ALSO ANYONE GOT A DOWNLOAD FOR SaveDataFiler I CAN'T FIND IT ON GBATEMP
So I installed the Rhythm heaven 3ds game, its not appearing on my homescreen, I'm guessing since its JP it won't appear, are there anyways to get it to show up?
>>128090749
Arizona?
>>128090387
are you trying to open CHMM2? in which case, use it from the homebrew launcher on emuNAND.
>>128090604
There's no way to recover my data is there?
I didn't follow the pastebin from vg I followed the one posted in v a lot....fuck
>>128090515
Well, all you have to do to have an army of underage faggots defending you to the death is to pretend you are a hacker, copy-paste smeg's twitter profile, make promises and say you won't deliver because people are assholes. Works every time.
>>128090838
thank
>>128090275
well, shit. i don't know what to tell you m8
are the ones from the mega the ones that aren't installing? they're the legit cias right? maybe they need some alternative method
>>128090796
>Does it even boot into rxTools EmuNAND?
No, it won't.
>>128090795
This is great, ty
So do I use the FBI app on my NAND which is on the RX-E- 10.3 to download the .cia?
>>128090838
>>128090387
You can also just run this once in homebrew launcher to get the cia version to work http://rinnegatamante.it/dsp_firmware_dumper.rar
>>128090647
Are you really suggesting I just redo this entire process all over, or did I misread that? I don't even know how to back into HBL because I get booted to a black/red screen from CTRBootloader and I don't know what the downgrade console is.
Fuck, man. The FBI injection is the last thing I need to do before unlinking, and there's been an hour between each stop. I've got ten minutes before I gotta sleep.
>>128090605
May I ask what that's supposed to do? I opened eshop, but I still get the error when I try to downgrade.
>>128090526
Nope, not using a Mac.
Why is rxtools shit?, the tutorial doesn't specify why.
Is there a straightforward way to grab eshop update files for updating off-region games?
>>128090943
Sorry, I should have actually asked: Do you see HBL or a purple screen when cold-booting?
>>128090604
Do you have a backup of EmuNAND.bin or NAND.bin and your old /Nintendo 3DS/ folder right after you finished downgrading? If you do, you can start all over.
>>128090838
>>128091012
Thanks again.
>>128089481
Okay from what I understand, all I need to do is use browser hack to get CFW, then take out my SD card, put on the proper corresponding firmware, and that will downgrade it correct? Connecting my 3DS to the internet won't set up an auto update feature of any kind correct? I believe the browser exploit still works on 9.5, unless I'm an idiot and I'm reading this wrong. Just double checking before I do this though. Don't want to fuck up anything just yet.
>>128090643
>black screen after updating to cakes cfw 9.5, or the infamous "Setting up Home Menu" to black screen,

>>128091062
No, it loads like a regular 3DS.
i can't get homebrew launcher back open after doing everything. the browserhax QR code takes me to a white blank page. any ideas? i feel like i'm missing something obvious here.
FBI won't install .cias because the database does not exist?
How do I fix this?

>>128091118
Okay, do you have a backup of EmuNAND.bin or NAND.bin and your old /Nintendo 3DS/ folder right after you finished downgrading?
Can you extract a NAND.bin from the SD card with EmuNAND Tool (PC program)?

And?
>>128089892
For anyone interested, I went ahead with this, and it worked. Got BigBlueMenu.
So I'm ready for my free games, right?
Have I trekked through hell and made it to the promised land of not playing for stuff?
I'm stupid and while I followed the guide and have games running, I still have a few questions
Can I delete the .cia files I used to install stuff? Game.cia/FBI.cia etc?
While updating to 9.5 emuNAND with sysupdater, I had an error that I got around by deleting a themes folder in extdata to disable menuhax. Do I need menuhax on my emuNAND? If so, do I just install it like normal?
How do I change themes in emuNAND?
>>128091273
....how the fuck do i fix this?
Ahhhhhhhhh! The new update is out!
Fuck guys! Fuck!
ntr doesnt work for o3ds?
how do i get regionfree then?
You guys think this SD is suitable for 3DS?

I don't see why it wouldn't be, but still.
>>128090114
Just read up about savedata filer, I'll try and get it working tomorrow. What would I have to do with the saves once I use it?
Everysite I download ROMs off leads me to a "linkbuck" site and its always stuck on "0-loading" pls help.
>>128091383
I hope not. I'll find out if this downgrade fails again. It's installing now. So far, every time it causes error on boot and I have to reupgrade
>>128091415
No, DO NOT ORDER THIS SD CARD, IT CREATES MUSTARD GAS
>>128091381
Still completely new to all of this, just did it for the first time today, but
>Can I delete the .cia files I used to install stuff? Game.cia/FBI.cia etc?
Yes, you should do that every time, no point in keeping the cias after install
>While updating to 9.5 emuNAND with sysupdater, I had an error that I got around by deleting a themes folder in extdata to disable menuhax. Do I need menuhax on my emuNAND? If so, do I just install it like normal?
You don't need Menuhax on your emuNAND at all, you only need it in your sysNAND to boot into your emuNAND.
>How do I change themes in emuNAND?
This I'm not sure, haven't tried it yet.
>>128088628
>>128090014
Still need help with this
>>128090470
if you want to access rxtools, hold l down before rxtools loads.
>>128091415
Should work, why not get it from Best Buy's sale? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-64gb-microsdhc-class-10-uhs-i-u3-memory-card-multi/6163246.p?id=1219659375806&skuId=6163246
Just got the update notification in my emunand. Is it too late for me to use emunand or will I have to continue to press B every time it comes up? Can't I just use tubedns? Or has i already downloaded said update?
>>128091471
Same thing happened to me.
Disable your Adblock, worked for me.
>>128089740
Did it work for you installing it with dlc? I had to delete my legit dlc to install the full dlc cia.
>>128091471

>>128091243
Yes, I still have the NAND.bin saved as I was told.
I'm not sure about the Nintendo 3DS folder, I may have altered in in one of the steps.
Let me try that tool.
>>128091062
Fuck I didn't backup my nand bin whatver only my Nintendo 3ds folders
Guess I can't backup my shit right.....fuck
Is there a way to grab my saves that I back up through savemanager and just redownload the games with cfw?

I only know these guys for USB flash drives that like to shit themselves.
>>128091565

Oh shit today's my last day to downgrade my 3DS'? Hope it won't be a bitch on my Japanese n3ds.
>>128091587
>>128091608
y'all seriously don't know the bypass?
>>128091596
Haven't tried it yet since I didn't get an answer. From yours though sounds like it won't work. I really don't even want anyone but Lucas anyways so maybe I'll find a cia for him
>>128091382
Does it have a loading bar? If so, does it make any progress or simply disappear?
If it disappears, I got around it by deleting a themes folder in extdata because I had menuhax on my emuNAND.
A folder in the random letter/number thing is the themes folder which is different for every region and you can find it out with a google search maybe, but that's all I can help you with.
>>128091509
Thanks, having twice as much storage for games is great, do I need any homebrew launcher entrypoint for my emuNAND?
>>128091042
Fuck, I wanted to mean rxtools 3.0, also what about the nightlies?, I feel the tutorial is somewhat outdated.
Do you fuck up your shit if you ran tinyformat on emunand?
I'm not sure but I think I might have run it on emunand instead of on sysnand
>>128091690
no, I remember some other bee adlink shit simply allowing you to cut the bee link out of the url & make it work fine, but not this one
>>128088697
Still nothing
>>128091683
Enjoy your endless softbricks.
>>128091683
Not exactly, but we think Browserhax could get fixed and that soft-bricks could get stranded.
>>128091746
yes this! im US N3ds, what do i search up on google
>>128091636
If it's still on your 3DS, then you're likely not fucked: The one you have on your SD already is probably still good, so keep that handy and back up your current EmuNAND with EMUNAND9/EmuNAND Tool if you can (Label it as the one you started with when anon was helping you so you know which it is)
I think both of your Nintendo 3DS folders are still in-tact, but your 3DSes don't want to read them.
Otherwise, you are fucked, and you cannot recover them, because even official nintendo relies on that folder for all your eShop games/saves.
>>128091565
Whoops, wasn't looking at size, my bad
Can someone tell me if there are differences between the us and japanese versions of senran kagura 2?
who /I hope the 10.4 update fucks everyone over and prevents anymore downgrading/?
>>128091829
> if you ran tinyformat on emunand?
None of my eshop games will show even though the whole Nintendo3ds folder is still there. I could deal with it if that didnt mean not having my saves either.
Alright I managed to get down to 9.2, but now menuhax doesnt work, im guessign i have to reinstall it, how do I do that from 9.2?
>>128091746
>If it disappears, I got around it by deleting a themes folder in extdata
i cant for the life of me tell which folder

I am in the same situation as these anons. I set up everything I could for my New 3DS. EmuNAND works and all, but FBI doesn't appear on the Home Screen, despite the FBI injection. Is there some sort of trick or something?
>sciresm withholding n3ds keys
>>128091832
Get your oldest backup of NAND.bin and flash it to SysNAND by pressing A while holding Up in gateway launcher with NAND.bin on root
Then copy your original /Nintendo 3DS/ folder backup back to root start the whole CFW process all over, as if you just downgraded.
So I'm looking for games on mega3dsroms, and it seems like it's mostly in spanish.
But any (USA) roms should be in english, right?
>tfw i've downgraded a n3ds and a o3ds without softbricking once
feels good
>>128091927
FUCK thanks on the info
Stupid fucking shit I'm sure I was following an old guide passed on v a lot which recommends to format and backup sd card....
Fuck it was an ambassador too....
Got an error
titleException:
main.cpp:148: Result: 0xD900182F

Is my SD card structure correct?
Is it safe to go into emunand settings to make use of tubedns? I just got an update notification.

>I am in the same situation as these anons. I set up everything I could for my New 3DS. EmuNAND works and all, but FBI doesn't appear on the Home Screen, despite the FBI injection. Is there some sort of trick or something?
Grab your original NAND.bin (or EmuNAND.bin_) backup and press Up while holding A on Downgrade Console in the gateway launcher menu to link your NANDs again
Get FBI on sysnand via menuhax>pastacfw>hold trigger button to prevent menuhax>browserhax>FBI.3dsx>install FBI.cia to sysnand
Format EmuNAND with EmuNAND9 so sysnand FBI copies over to emunand along with everything else
Format sysnand with tinyformat
Get FBI on sysnand via menuhax>pastacfw>hold trigger button to prevent menuhax>browserhax>FBI.3dsx>install FBI.cia to sysnand again
you should have FBI on both nands if you do this
>>128092135
Sorry to hear that, but if your NAND is truly ambassador I'm sure they'll let you download it again from eshop
but your saves are definitely gone if you lost your Nintendo 3DS folder entirely
>>128091243
The emunand extracted with the tool.
>>128091759
>>128091042
I'm guessing it's buggy
What's wrong with 2.6
>>128091746
Wouldn't that folder in question be 000002cd for USA, 000002ce for EUR, or 000002cc for JPN? Someone need to put this shit in the OP.
>>128092030
Just go through browser again. Remember to intialize data and restart your system through attemps. Once your downgraded, and you get to the browser launch page, there will be a slider on screen. Zoom in and double click the left side.
does tubehax block access to e-shop?
>>128091847
Literally how. My n3DS worked better than any of the other 4 o3DS's I've done.
>>128092323
That's why I'm asking, the tutorial doesn't the pros or cons of each release.
Pasta, minipasta doesn't work
RXTools won't load for pasta or whatever the fuck mode
fuck this.
>>128092372
yes
>>128091878
>>128092057
It's a different name depending on your region, https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Extdata#SD_Extdata shows what the folder name should be. I'm pretty sure you're looking for 'home menu theme' description.
I'm also stupid and it might not be the same problem you have, but that was the answer for my problem.
If menuhax doesn't work when you start your 3ds (or maybe even cakes coldboot, hadn't got to that part yet), you probably deleted your sysNAND theme folder instead of your emuNAND one.
>>128092263
Dumb. Ass.

\3DS\BACKUP\Nintendo 3DS\random jumble\random jumble 2\title\game jumble\more jumble\data\00000001.sav
Doubt you can just copy paste into new game's data folder, but you can probably back them up while trying otber methods to extract/inject the saves
Okay, I've downgraded my 3DS to 9.2.0-20, what am I supposed to do next?
I'm really just looking to pirate / play games.
Should I Unlink NAND's or leave everything as it is or?
So, the Gateway guys are working on 10.3 support. Does anyone know if that would include support for New 3DS systems, or just original 3DS and older? Forgive my ignorance, I don't know much about all this.
I was just getting into it last year when my niece updated my system to 9.8.0-25U. My own dumb fault, I know.
It sucks having $100+ of emulator stuff being paperweights on my desk.
>>128092289
Okay, awesome.
Format your card to FAT32 via your computer. Google how to do that if you don't know
Rename the dump to NAND.bin, put it on SD root
Get starter.zip from https://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/starter.zip and extract it to root too
Browserhax and set up menuhax.
Go to http://scmods.com/gateway/GW_ULTRA_3_6_2_BETA.zip and extract Launcher.dat to root (in public folder)
Enter the 3dsx.zip folder and merge the /3ds/ folder with the one on your root
In menuhax, launch GW.3dsx and hold Up when pressing A on downgrade console
When it's done, perform a Complete EmuNAND setup with EmuNAND9
Copy your Nintendo 3DS folder to root afterward and boot up (holding menuhax trigger to ignore it)
If your files are still there, then good: Use tinyformat to format sysnand (back up Nintendo 3DS folder, put it back when you're done), then set up RxTools/Cakes to boot into EmuNAND and you should have all your games/saves once you get RxTools/Cakes working
This is a lengthy process so expect this entire thing to take at least half an hour to do. I'm sure this will work, as long as you have the correct NAND.bin and truly have your old /Nintendo 3DS/ folder
>>128092287
I hope so...I'll go to the eshop once I install the rxtools thing because it still shows my nnid in settings.
I formatted my card intentionally after backing up my entire sd card....I backed up save data for my pokemon games using savemanager so they're still in my sd card
>>128092531
DOWNGRADE NOW, or enjoy your paperweights I guess.
>>128092409
>>128092484
2.6 pros:
it just works
2.6 cons:
smaller numbers
3.0 cons:
it might not work
not made by original guy
3.0 pros:
uhhhhhh
>>128092517
think it's best to unlink nands, don't listen to what some idiots say, use tinyformat.
You don't have to, but it's like an additional safety step
other than the fact you'll have to reinitialize the startup settings, it's extremely little work
>>128092585
>I formatted my card intentionally after backing up my entire sd card....
Wait, you DO have your Nintendo 3DS folder? Then follow >>128092556 what the heck
>>128091150
open the eshop on emunand
>>128092430
How can you tell the difference between the emuNAND and sysNAND folder? I know what the themes folder name is, but I can;t figure out which is which.
>>128092517
Read the OP.
>>128092430
it worked, and im on 9.5, but im having trouble reinstalling fbi, in trying to do it from hombrew but it just says loading files
So I'm in SaveDataFiler poking around.
For anyone that understands this program more than me, what do these files being "broken" mean?
I'm just curious.
Is it bad?
Is it not really bad but can be fixed?
What is all this?
>>128092113
Which haxs method did you use if you don't mind sharing?
>>128092604
I thought I read you couldn't downgrade a New 3DS? Or maybe it was if it's past a certain version...

I see, thanks anon.
>>128092734
AGHHHH DOWNGRADE IT NOW
fucking FINALLY i can use the smash bros save editor. collecting custom moves was a pain in the ass
>>128092343
yo thanks senpai, good looking out
>>128092734
The RNG is harsher on N3DS so it'll take you longer, but it has the same rate of brickage, which is near 0

>tfw nonstop softbricks
I guess I'll just have to settle for installing legit cias on 10.3
>>128092680
I'm not entirely sure, I followed the OP pastebin (I think?) and the same random letter+number combination from my pre downgrade backup is my sysNAND.
I got it wrong the first time I did it, and just copied the themes folder back in and deleted the right one.
>>128092693
Didn't have to reinstall FBI, sorry.
so if ntr doesnt work on o3ds, how do i play regionfree catridges?
>>128092961
Hey at least you figured out how to change the menu colours, I could never figure that shit out
>>128092981
are you making sure to only use your region's files?
as far as I know this is one of the only thing that causes bricks
>>128092680
>>128092986
Sorry, the same letter+number combination is my emuNAND. I had to redo first time setup and that made a new sysNAND.
>>128092556
Shit sorry, before you format EmuNAND with EmuNAND9 you want to install FBI to SysNAND by preparing pasta cfw: https://gbatemp.net/threads/pasta-cfw-a-cfw-that-allows-unsigned-cia-to-be-installed-on-old-and-new-3ds-required-ninjhax.388925/
Also get FBI (https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases) and copy its /3ds/ folder with the one on root and put FBI.cia on root
Then boot into pasta, hold menuhax button to boot into sysnand cfw>browserhax>FBI.3dsx>install FBI.cia
If I was too late for telling you that, then whatever: Use RxTools (hold L while booting it to access menu) or Decrypt9 to get FBI on EmuNAND and SysNAND, or start all over, including the new instructions. Sorry.
When 10.4 rolls out, how do I go into e-shop on 10.3 emuNAND?
I pressed y now its stuck lads send help
>>128091564
Thank you so much, anon. I thought the RXTools thing still corresponded to my menuhax trigger because I'm fucking retarded. The rest of the process was a breeze. Just gotta unlink the emunand and sysnand, then do the other stuff for 3DS games.
So the gift box glitch shouldnt happen if nands are unlinked right? Then why'd it just happen now? It never happened before...
>>128093025
I only changed the surface shit.
There's like 500 autism-tier color change options from there, and then getting music and sound effects rolling properly is a chore in of itself.
I'll take my SAAAAAAAYGUUUUH back.
I finally did it.
Thanks to you Anons, I was able to downgrade my 3DS and can now pirate games like I want.
Thank you Anons.
