-RECENT NEWS-
>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
-Smealum has begun work on hax 3.0
-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.
1st for 10.4 never ever
rxTools and Homebrew Manager quit showing up on the CTRBootManager. Help please.
How do I get GBA .cias to work on emunand? Do I have to update emunand? Everytime I try to open a GBA cia my 3ds "crashes".
ironic shitposting is still shitposting
spreading false informations is bad sportsmanship
I love Cakes, but what is it about it that makes the clean JPN Monster Hunter X rom error? Do I basically have to launch NTR first? The rom works in rxTools 3.0 by the way.

is that a good guide for setting up coldboot
will i have to re-update my emunand after installing coldboot

Install them on sysNAND and emuNAND if they are unlinked
So people are saying to put a DNS into the Internet settings. Why?

I think I fucked up and backed my sysnand folder and not the emunand one
Currently installing the emunand backup with emunand9 but I think I fucked up big time here
Will I have to install CFW again?
Reposting this. If I have menuhax, do I need ninjhax to run pasta? Can't I just run pasta from the homebrew menu, use sliderhax to get back to the homebrew menu, and then run CIA?
I GOT MENUHAX AND DOWNGRADED TO 9.2, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO BEFORE TOMORROW?
MY 64GB SD CARD HASN'T ARRIVED YET
Is it impossible to use R4 with 3DS even with running on emunand or cfw? Do I need to get a DSTwo?
They tell you to install FBI on the sysnand but that never actually happens. Where does it go?
So...what did I do wrong this time?
Semi-bricks during downgrade attempt all day.
Just got my 12th one.
Why won't my 64gb SDXC work on my o3ds? Does it have to be in a specific format?
>>128162039
Format your system and SD card, it's the only way to get past that.

how can i spoof a CIA to work on emunand 9.5?
resposting from previous thread
is it possible to install, for instance, the hbl .cia on sysnand? would minipasta let me do that? the way i understand it, pasta/minipasta allows unsigned cia installs from sysnand, so could i run minipasta from hbl and then go into fbi and install the hbl cia?
>>128161847
To make it so you don't get nagged to update your firmware
Does anyone have an EX Troopers cia link?
I can only find dead links
>>128161740
Check your boot.cfg file.
>>128162114
Fuck off Pedro and read the fucking GUIDE YOU STUPID BITCH
FUCKING DAMN RETARDED SPICS
>>128161830
How would I even install a cia on sysNAND? FBI? What's the point?
>>128162247
mucho thank
>>128162342
But why would that matter if you coldboot?
Do I have to install the agb_firm_patched through FBI or CakesFW?
How do I know when I'm installing it to sysNAND and when I'm installing it to emuNAND?
Does the Ambassador Certificate affect anything?
Alternatively, how do you link your NANDs and how does it affect everything?
after i have emunand and get it unlinked, how do I go about upgrading it to 9.5? I see no tutorials on that anywhere
>>128162123
which part exactly? there are tons of guides, I've followed and read multiple of them, have 7 or 8 open at the moment and I'm getting lost now
>>128162420
you're de nada
>>128154492
Has a 10.4 been released, yet?
>>128162382
Yup. I just did for some DSiWare. It's just how it has to be, go into FBI and install to NAND.
So do I immediately update on emuNAND tomorrow, or wait a day or two until it's confirmed to be safe?
My friend used emunand9 and formatted his card before making a backup of his NAND. Can he safely do a full format of the SD card now and reacquire the NAND or is he fucked?This is actually for a friend, I never fucked anything up
>>128162156

>>128162558
Okay, thanks friend
>>128162014
It does, load through pasta to see it.
>>128162068
Anyone?
Does it actually matter using rxtools to convert .cias? I've already done that a number of times.
>>128162797
you need to format it with a special program, ctrl f in the last two threads
>>128162449
If you go into the eshop
>>128162014
health and safety. you're meant to install fbi on the emunand though
>>128162068
reformat it to fat32. sdxc default is exfat or something

emunand tool and gateway backup
>>128162592
no reason to update. waiting won't hurt you
>>128162797
3ds only works with FAT32
>>128162797
you need to format it to fat32
you will most likely need a program for that
is rxTools 3.0 shit? should I stay on rxTools 2.6?

Best EO to start with?
I can't get to getting all this homebrew shit set-up today because my desktop died and my laptop actually won't take SD cards
Is there something I can do to prevent the firmware from updating to 10.4 before I can get this set-up, or am I fucked?
>>128162963
The latest build is shit, there's one from early October that is the best one
I have a cart of xenoblade x, my save was saved on the updated version.
Will playing it on the previous version corrupt my save?
I'm trying to downgrade but the sysupdater red text is all broken and pressing Y doesn't do anything
What do
>>128163152
reboot and try again
prepare to do this a lot if you're on N3DS
>>128162678
Wojack when?
>>128163343
I'll probably make one next weekend, will upload it here when it's ready
If I fuck up and coldboot doesn't work, can I just copy all my prior SD files back and have everything work just fine?
pls respond
>>128161485
Downgraded to 9.2 and it said rebooting in 10 seconds and now 3ds is a black screen.
Removed SD card and now it's booting at 9.2
Holy shit I think i almost had a heart attack
i have a new3dsxl on 10.3
i have ironfall and a physical copy of cubic ninja
should i just wait it out until something safer for the new3ds comes along?
If anyone's grey screening with browserhax on installing FBI through Pasta, try getting menuhax and use my method:
1. Enter System Settings, or if you're powering it on, hold your menuhax trigger and skip to OPTIONAL or 3.
2. Immediately exit while holding menuhax trigger to enter HBL (for me, it's SELECT).
OPTIONAL: Change your menuhax trigger in menuhax_manager to SELECT so there's no conflict with PastaCFW's trigger.
3. Boot into PastaCFW through GUI (hold L after launching -- recommend enabling boot to GUI in other settings).
4. Immediately hold trigger button to enter HBL again.
5. Enter FBI to install FBI's CIA.
6. Install. It SHOULD install correctly.
7. Exit FBI.
8. Do all the other steps.
Sometimes you'll yellowscreen on the second menuhax but all I had to do was restart.
If this helps some people let me know -- I'm not sure if it fully works or not because FBI disappeared/was semi-there then faded after I went back to Home menu (by mistake -- forgot to do other steps, whoops).
>>128163514
You mean, uninstall menuhax?
Just remove your SD, turn on the 3DS, inster the SD back and change your theme to anything.
I have an old Acekard 2i. Will I be able to play that on emunand? I want to play ds games on the go
>>128162359
a-anyone
>>128163552
Huh, so the 3ds doesn't boot to anything but a black screen when the sd card is in.
Anyone know why that'd happen?
If a cia is done installing can I remove the files from the cia folder?
>>128163617
If coldboot doesn't work/Isn't as good as rx 2.6, can I just copy my 2.6 files (read: everything on my sd aside from the nintendo 3ds folder) back to my sd and have it work just fine?
How do i restart the progress of the cfw downloading part?
>>128163295
Now the red text was fine, I pressed Y but still nothing happened.
How do I know if it's working?
>>128163720
yeah you can. It is just using up space otherwise
So, if I install themes through CHMM2 on emunand then it shouldn't interfere with menuhax on sysnand right?
>>128163759
Oh, that I don't know for sure. But I think so, yeah.
>>128163851
Thought so but wanted to make sure. T-thanks anon (no homo)
>>128163856
yeah everything'll work fine
Hey guys, tried the Browserhax but it keeps sending me back to HOME. Researched a little and they said there's nothing I can do for now. Does that me I have to update, downgrade, or another bypass?
Ver. 9.9.0-26U
rxtools pops up for a split second and then I end up back in sysnand. wtf
Okay so my Japanese n3ds is down to 9.1 (had the 9.2 files but whatever.) What now?
>>128163592
As long as you don't install 10.4 current methods SHOULD continue to work. I downgraded my N3DS and didn't have any problems, but I may have just been lucky.
>>128163812
I only waited ~30 seconds after hitting Y and if it doesn't say something like "Getting CIA file informations" reboot and try again. If you see that message you're pretty much golden, DONT TOUCH ANYTHING until it finishes.
>nands unlinked
>eshop working
>got my themes running
I think I can finally enjoy my games now
Ask me a question that isn't about shitty fucking Cakes or downgrading and I'll try my best to answer it.
New 3DS XL, US
V. 10.3.0-28U
Can I still downgrade and get CFW? What's the best, easiest guide to follow that's updated and reliable?
Thanks a bunch anons.i'll read the op after posting this, but chances are i'll still ask because i'm dense
well i got rx-e 10.3 but i cant get rxtools to work again, says installation failed when trying to start it after system is turned off
>>128163856
download CHMM2.cia to emunand with fbi. Then you can change the themes that way.
See below
>>128163682
blue green red icon is CHMM2. I tried to change theme on chmm2 using menuhax and it erased menuhax startup
So I downgraded to 9.2 and had to boot without sd card because menuhax made my 3ds a black screen and now ironfall won't boot up it just sits at the red nintendo 3ds thing
what the fuck did i mess up?
>>128163682
Not the same guy but also curious if there's a way to do this.
>>128163682
Install the bluecardfix cia. That should allow most old DS flashcarts to work (R4, Acekard, Cyclo, etc)
DQ X still requires access to the JPN eshop right?
Because changing themes with CHMM2 fucks up menuhax, some anon told me about Howling Theme Tools.
How do i install the CIA file from howling theme now?
>>128164164
Are rxTools and Cakes the only options for coldbooting? And why not cakes?
Just how often does NTR fail to load?
I set it up on my o3DS and it never failed.
Now I set it up for a friend of mine and 2 out of 5 times I got an error while returning to the home menu and the other 3 times it simply failed totally while putting a bunch of files on the SD card.
Does it depend on the 3DS how stable it is, we are both using the Link Between Worlds o3DS XL.
>>128164164
Why does my downgrade semi-brick?
I've formatted system and sd card, and checked the md5 of the zip.
>>128164127
No you're missing a game
Again, can I use pasta with menuhax? Do I need Ninjahax?
>>128164396
That game would be Bravely Default
I wanted access to the eshop to download the demo and get muh 20 free villagers
>>128164325
They're the most-known, but I'm sure there are others. I myself used RxTools.
Cakes lacks a lot of features RxTools already has, mostly regarding region-free and GBA games. RxTools is less of a hassle since most people use it.
>>128164368
>or downgrading
But that's just because SysUpdater is a buggy piece of shit. Just keep trying.
>>128164252
same guy who asked earlier here, there is a thread on /v/ where I asked the same question. Apparently you cannot play ds games on emunand only SYSNAND :|
>can someone verify this?
I've been following https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/ and got as far as reaching the installation successful screen with rxTools.
But it says Press any key to continue and nothing happens when I press a key. This has happened multiple times. What should I do?
i've downgraded and got rxTools loading through CTRBootManager, but it launches to "INSTALLATION FAILED" and "Failed to load NATIVE_FIRM: 4, Reboot rxTools and try again"
but i've rebooted a dozen times with no improvement, anyone else dealt with this?
>>128164368
What symptoms does the semi-brick include?
Because my shit's fucking up but I'm not too sure what the fuck's wrong with it.
Guys, do I have to update my 3ds to 10.3 or can I downgrade it directly from 9.7?
>>128164697
its safer to just upgrade to 10.3 and downgrade to 9.2
>>128164245
De-link your sysnand and emunand and then update emunand to 10.3. This fixed that issue for me.
is that labyrinth waifu walking simulator any good? ive got room for just one more game
>>128164697
I downgraded a N3DS and O3DS, neither of which were on 10.3 and had no problems.
I CAN'T FUCKING FIND MY 3DS TOUCH PEN ANYWHERE
I WAS USING IT JUST A SEC AGO
>>128164079
>but I may have just been lucky.
this is exactly what people keep saying. i guess the new 3dsxl downgrade just isnt a guaranteed thing.
Anyone here having an issue with accessing the browser? Fucking thing tells me that I need to upgrade my system. Version 10.1.0-27E
Anyone got a link to a cia of the English patched Love Plus 3DS?
>>128164254
Some googling says something about having to install an older version of mset.cia as well. Can you confirm?
Also this >>128164586 ?
>>128163682
>>128164252
Not that I know of, no. Even with downgraded MSET, Acekard 2i only goes up to 4.3 or something so 4.5+ can't use it.
alright so i'm following this guide (http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji) and i just finished installing tinyformat. do i launch it after going to hbl > pasta > hbl or straight from the home menu after booting the n3ds? still a bit confused on what is and isn't in sys/emuNAND.
>>128165181
This and hakouki or whatever that otome game was called
Someone posted links in previous threads but I can't find them anymore
>>128162251
search for 3ds to cia apps
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?
>>128164127
Nope
Welcome to the autism of frequently tweaking files to make your perfect emunand
The ride never ends
ok, so my memory card has legit downloaded games on it, with all their save files.
once i get cfw running, if I want to play my legit games, all I have to do is load sysnand, and if I wanna play pirated shit, load emunand..that sound about right?
or can i steal the saves from all my legit games and move them over to cia versions of them?
is there a tutorial for setting up rxtools?
i've already done the emunand steps
>>128165479
You can play legit on emuNAND too.
>>128165363
Bad times
these are all replies to last thread but it's about to die so:
>>128160263
savedatafiler or I think if you just press the left arrow with a game highlighted there's a backup save option
>>128160791
Try using eshop or the friends list. It gives an error if you didn't format with TinyFormat.
Or are you saying you linked the NNID after the format? The issue is that formatting the regular way tells Nintendo servers to unlink your NNID, but then you're still logged in locally on emuNAND, creating a half-unlinked mess that leads to errors.
>>128160714
um that first thing you said is a lie
>>128162184
Nah, Cakes is legitimately better. If people actually thought about the fact that it's modular and you can just download more .cakes for more features they'd realize that. Also, that Cakes + NTR can do all the region-free rxTools can and more

If so, how would I go about it?
>>128165562
so will my legit games that are already on my sd appear on emunand? or will i have to visit the eshop and redownload them?
sorry, im retarded.
I downgraded to 9.2, now I need to reinstall menuhax through the browser right?
On mtheall do I need to touch the slider at the same time I press A? This thing is weird
>>128161485
just clarifying. I just finished with the newb install and I'm right before unlinking the NAND'S, but the last step was starting and starting rxtools without holding L which it did but its now just a black screen,
I'm still good to continue right?
>accidently delete loader for gateway from years ago
I got a n3ds on 9.0 if I use cfw can I use my gateway card still?
I got a 64 micro anyway so it doesn't matter if I need to stick it inside.
If the system bricks, what happens to the NNID that's linked? Can you dump the sysNAND onto a fresh 3ds?
>>128165595
What is SVDT?
>>128165586
Very bad. Checked both, /vg/'s and /v/'s archives, fireden archives but these posts fucking disappeared.
How do I fix this stupid titleException: main.cpp:148: result: 0xD900182F failed to get CIA file info! error with Sysupdater? Its putting a hole in my plans and I've tried 3 different entry points now.

Anyone got a cia for Paper Jam? That and Fates is probably the only two things I want.
>>128165156
Pls respond
Quick question: To install a CIA game do I need twice the space of the file size?
What's currently better, GBA injection or GBA emulation with gpsp on n3ds?

Any one? this is when i put bigbluemenu.cia in my CIA folder on the root of my sd card and tired to install it with fbi.
>>128165919
can you please help me?
Can anyone tell me if I need ninjahax to run pasta. I only have menuhax.
>>128165156
That's normal. Nintendo added a check in 9.9 that if you're not on the latest update the browser forces you to update to the latest one.
>>128165718
You'll have to call Nintendo for them to unlink it so you can log in elsewhere. Same thing you'd have to do if you throw your 3DS against a wall or whatever.
No, you can't move either SysNAND or EmuNAND directly. You should be able to decrypt your savegames if you dump your movable.sed ahead of time via Decrypt9 or rxTools (protip: dump both Sys & Emu and stick them with your NAND backup somewhere safe).
>>128164127
still have emulator autism to go
>>128165973
open eshop for it to create db. try again.
>>128166014
So should I upgrade my system, or just use menuhax?
I'm following this guide http://pastebin.com/ZfA8wtA2
I am following the gbatemp to update my nand to 9.5, but always end up fucking emunand and with a black screen. Using 9.5.0-23E(Full)_n3DS and the sysupdater provided in the guide, where can i be fucking up?
>>128165845
I had that problem as well on my N3DS, it fixed when I set up themehax with the default system theme instead of the black one. Not sure if that matters.
>>128165973
Why would you even want devmenu over FBI? Anyway, just open the eshop once, you don't even need to log in. This will fix it.
>>128161485
Is autoload to rxMode necessary?
I guess I should do it just in case internet ever goes out
Tell me I don't need to format or copy my data over
>>128164000
Kek, I didn't read the OP hard enough, going to 10.3 was my only option before tomorrow.
>>128166108
If you already have access to some form of *hax, don't update, just install Menuhax from there.
I'm having problems with themes.
I tried getting themes with CHMM2 via the .cia and all that comes up is just a black top screen with the bottom screen with the A is Install and other buttons.
Is there a specific way you have to put your themes in the Theme folder? I just made a Jet Set Radio folder im Theme and put the theme in and it doesn't read it.
I even used Howling Theme Tool and installed the themes as a .cia but it's not on the theme list either.
I'm on rxTools 10.3 if that means anything. So close to my perfect emunand.
>>128165759
Did you not download it?
I tried searching 3DSiso but no joy
do i have to make a bigblue floder inside the CIA folder? please I got this fucking far but the guide inst saying anything about this.. I know for a fact that you just put games inside the cia folder, so what the fuck.
>>128166101
>>128166161
Oh thanks, well everyone is saying its better, inst it? plus i can get rid CIAS with it right? can i delete them in the folder on the computer too?

I've done this
1) Download this: https://mega.nz/#!XdMCgA5J!3Vxv4Aejx-iVaZKhItNK-XJjduMqV7vNiH9q0vvAK04
2) Run firmware_download.bat and let it do it's thing.
It first downloads "firm.bin", this is not the end though. Keep pressing space when the program tells you to and it will then close on it's own once it has finished. You'll then be left with a "firmware.bin" file.
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)
7) Open EmuNAND9
but EmuNAND9 doesnt appear in the homebrew menu. Am I missing something?
>>128166209
I don't really have access to any *hax. I'm just getting started. I also just noticed the RETARDED BABY GUIDE so i think i'll follow that and stop bothering you.
>>128166276
I wanted to get everything ready first and had no idea they'd disappear even from archives
did gbatemps easy installer ever get released?
Hey guys I don't feel confident in having successfully downgraded to 9.2 from 10.3
I was reading more than 1 guide and feel like I might have skipped something important and really would feel more at ease if I can restart the whole process of downgrading
Should I just go into recovery mode and start again from 10.3? Yeah I read the guides before and hadn't crashed shit and took me 4 tries to get downgraded
>inb4Why
I just want to, what's the best way to go about it
>>128166367
If you don't have any *hax and your browser is blocked, you'll need to update to 10.3, yeah. Follow the guide from there on.
>>128164236
Installed the .cia, but every time I run it the 3ds freezes.
Is there a way to make Cakes load a regionfree patch without using NTR?
>>128165845
sysupdater will fail in one of four ways randomly while trying to downgrade:
>black screen on launch
>text shows but freezes
>text is corrupt, you should exit if it does that and doesn't freeze
>failed to find cia info even though they're in the right place, just press b to exit and try again
these are all random and can happen even if you've set everything up. as long as you know the shit's in the right place, just keep trying.
>>128166434
The better way to check would be to try and install rxtools.
>>128166475
>cakes
does the 3ds support a 64gb sd? does it need to be sdhc?
>>128165875
.cia download is in the description. The video might be in Spanish but it's the European version
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0O7gxKYLgno
'm following the you must be literally retarded guide
http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW (embed)
when I try to downgrade with sysUpdater it freezes , also I have old yurop 3ds xl can I install USA version to that?
I have an O3DS on 9.2 and rxtools 10.3 on Emunand.
Does any of the upcoming shit affect me? I saw people on /v/ saying that you won't be able to boot into emunand anymore.
>>128166539
Yes, you just need to format it to FAT32
>>128166392
Did you open the download links? If you did try searching your history for love plus or something
>>128166539
It supports SDXC so yes
just installed majoras mask cia, but it asked me for an update, can i update from the eshop? it's usa cia and i have and usa 3ds btw
>>128166532
Hey, on my New 3DS it runs MHX fine, but on my Old one it somehow doesn't.
>>128166312
Nevermind, Im retarded and figured it out
>>128166539
no, sdxc will work if properly formated to fat32 and 32kilobit chunks
>>128166302

>>128166017
Ok great, so it's not lost forever. I'm only just about to start the whole process but didn't want to lose all my stuff in case the worst happens. Thanks
>>128166161
I can actually go onto the eshop with emu9 10.3? or does that not work? anyway thanks. its working.
gonna download some games. I guess I should check bitgamer if they have CIA versions of the games, if not ill try http://www.3dsiso.com/
Also how do you exit bigbule menu without it needing to shut off?
Anyone got a cryptofixed USA Happy Home Designer update .cia?
Alright, /hbg/, I'm going to hack my vWii. But which of these do I choose if I want to use my GC controller adapter, as well as an external HDD? I also have some questions.
>What does this picture mean by USB support? Is it referring to controllers?
>What does high compatibility for NAND emulation do for me?
>>128166709
Also wondering this
jesus how do i install CIAs to the actual emunand? Whenever I install big blue button with FBI, I can see the program when I go into CFW mode, but I can't seem to install them to the actual emunand. FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK THIS IS SO CONFUSING I HATE BEING RETARDED
>>128166606
Apparently not, we're doomed.
>>128166513
I've been doing this on autopilot while watching some agdq recordings and not a single time has it allowed me to do jack shit, nor even entered after the redownload
>>128166152
I had the same problem.
I fixed it by deleting the emuNAND profile from the root /Nintendo 3DS folder and booting it again so it creates the profile again.
Backup the folder before you delete it and then copy back the title folder again once you have everything running.
>>128166707
if you're on emunand and updated to 10.3 you can use the device like a normal 3ds with all internet featuresdon't you dare touch the themes tho
>>128166546
Yeah it'll freeze and fuck up a lot. Welcome to the ride. The exploit isn't stable. When it does start, it'll work fine more often than not.
DON'T switch regions, you can switch your EmuNAND later but using wrong region files is one way to guarantee things becoming fucked up. Downgrade with EU 9.2 Old files.
>>128166576
None of the shit will affect you as long as you don't update your EmuNAND, but you might get an update nag. If you do update, things might break, or it might just work (CFW last needed changes in like fucking 9.8 or something), can't tell ahead of time.
Emunand Working. Am I allowed to go on eshop/online?
I downgraded to 9.2 and installed menuhax on my default 3DS card, what will I have to do once my 64GB card arrives? The 10.4 update will be already out by then
>>128161768
>Do I basically have to launch NTR first?
Yes, that's how you get region-free on Cakes at the moment.
>>128161790
Haven't read that guide, but my guide has a coldboot section near the end: http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
>>128161939
all *hax are "ninjhax"
so yes
>>128161947
you're good famicom, just bookmark my guide: http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
>>128162038
you need to either do the dbs.zip part of my guide or just open the eshop then try again
>>128162623
in theory the emuNAND he made should be the same as his sysNAND was so backing that up should do some good
>>128162963
don't use 2.6 no matter what
>>128163718

I think there's a homebrew version of tinyformat as well but I don't think I linked it in my guide

You might have more options if you use gridlauncher instead of the default homebrew launcher.

yes, and you don't need to press a, just touch the slider

You just have to keep trying. The error shows up regardless of what actually happened.
>>128166584
>>128166606
>>128166651
sweet, ill pick up a 64gb tomorrow at bestbuy.
can i go ahead with the downgrade with my baby bitch tiny 8gb sd and then copy the contents to 64gb later?
>>128165696
>>128165696
Guys please.
>>128166847
Ok no themes
but when i logged on to nintendo eshop it gave me a error.
>>128166783
Install BigBlueMenu, wa better at installing cia's.
>>128166302
>GSPWN
What is that?
>>128166847
Why? I'm changing my themes just fine.
HOLY SHIT. So i downgraded my 10.3 O3DS on the first fucking try, no freezes, no black screens, it just rebooted right on 9.2.
NOW IM TRYING BROWSERHAX AGAIN to reinstall Menuhax which apparently was deleted on the downgrade but Browserhax is NOT working, tried deleting both cookies and history, it stays no a blank page. What the heck do i do now?
>>128166817
half of my irc channel downgraded
one guy got it right away
one guy it took about half an hour
mine took about an hour
another guy's took like two hours
i've heard people here have to do it even longer. some people have suggestions like going into other apps first or turning wifi on/off, but sounds like placebo effect to me, i think it's just a waste of time. just keep going. worst case, you have to wait until a new version of sysupdater is out and can't recover to 10.3 from softbrick in the unlikely event that it even happens.

You need to get the latest Gateway launcher and follow the instructions in the download. Gateway is only compatible with Gateway shit, it will NEVER work inside normal CFW, they do a fuckton of weird garbage to get their bullshit piracy DRM dongle to work.

TY lad. You make the world a better place.
to update games do i just have to unwrap them or do i have to actually run them first?
also should i update emunand to 10.3 or no?
>>128166978
look under "error fixes", maybe that helps
http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW
GUYS I HAVE A PROBLEME IM STUCK IN THE BLACK SCREN AFTER THE DOWNGRADE FREEZEIN THE ".....RESET IN 10 SEC" TEXT... NOW THE HARD RESET DOESNT WORKS..... A+R+L+up..... what can i do?
>>128166964
that's what i did, so yeah go ahead and good luck
how come I cannot install anything in Cakes Emunand? Whenever I go to FBI and try to install bigbluemenu it basically just tells me to fuck myself
>>128166847
you can change themes on emunand. Haven't tried any custom themes or anything, but I'm running the built-in black theme
>>128167148
If you're unlinked (like areasonable human being) you should really update, you only benefit from a 10.3 emunand
>>128166916
thank you very much. I'll be sure to ask more questions later through the process.
>>128167189
How about reading the damn guide?
Where do I go once I get into this menu I try to rxmode and it still doesn't work even when I hold the cancel menuhax button
>>128166910
Just leave your sysNAND alone, then make an emuNAND on your new card when it gets home. Afterwards copy everything over.
>>128167124
>>128167093
Oh wow im a fucking idiot, i swear i touched everything on that page and nothing worked, THANKS GENTLEMEN.
fuck it, im doing it! i need a guide for the new 3dsxl downgrade!
So, after a few hiccups, I followed the retard guide and my 3ds is now hacked, my NANDs are unlinked, and my emuNAND is updated to 10.3. Awesome.
That being said I still have a couple of questions:
Should I redisable the auto-DNS settings on emuNAND? I had to enable it to update.
It's staying off in sysNAND.
Also, should I only install or change themes using homebrew channel or is it ok to use the theme manager in emuNAND?
Thanks in advance.
>>128166964
No that will fuck your system
backup emunand rom the old sd and inject it into the new one
I can't access rxtools on boot without menuhax, but according to prior threads, menuhax is apparently the reason why I keep looping back into CTRBootLoader immediately after accessing rxtools. Haven't unlinked my NANDs yet, I'm just trying to get access into emunand. What should I do?
>>128167121
Would it be better if I just install cfw on my n3ds and sell my gateway cart with my 3DSXL on 9.2 to someone that doesn't know about cfw?
>>128167189
If you used the right firmware files just remove the SD and start the system withthout the sd.
If you used the wrong firmware files you are hardbricked and have to hardmod your 3DS to flash the sysNAND.
>>128166964
do the downgrade now. I'd recommend just waiting on doing CFW until you have your 64. Apparently you can transfer over but it requires a special program etc. no rush on the cfw stuff anyways
>>128167294
What are the benefits?
yo what the fuck is up with the MHX faces? they all look like shit except for like 2 of them
>downgrade O3DS
>an error has occured
>update recovery mode
>try again
>same error
>try this like 20 times
>nothing
Is this magically going to work or should I say fuck it and wait for some tools that actually work?
has anyone managed to get a boxboy cia yet? I'd fucking love whoever could link me it.
How do I clear the default boot option from ctrbootmanager? I accidentally made it boot menuhax by default and now it just creashes
>>128167514
you can use the e-shop and some games and software need it
How long more until extended maintenance time??
I made these menuhax boot images if anyone wants them.
Just copy them to the "menuhax_manager" folder and install them using the menuhax manager.
Remember to name them imagedisplay.png
So how do I install the 1.1 MH4U update using a cia?
Do I just install it like any other game with Title Manager?
>>128166740
USB support refers to external HDD for Wii USB loading.
EmuNAND, in this context, refers to making an EmuNAND to run pirated WiiWare/VC off of (usually through a USB Loader). The benefit being that it allows for more space than the typical sysnand limit of 512MB, allowing you to install more WiiWare. Granted, there's not really that much worthwhile WiiWare to install anyway, and certain games (such as Castlevania Rebirth) only work when installed to sysnand.
IMHO, go with the non-alt version. Plug and play is not much of an improvement, and is not worth losing emunand compatibility over.
>>128167604
open boot.cfg in notepad
>>128164254
It's safe to assume that blucardfix only lets you use cards that originally worked on the 3ds so things like my original r4 are out of luck correct?
I have a supercard dstwo which is working but I always preferred my r4.
>>128167440
Probably yes. Gateway is honestly mostly obsolete at this point. The only real advantage it has is that you can copy .3ds files onto it, which is faster than installing .cia files, but if you're remotely competent then this shouldn't matter at all.
I mean, Gateway is basically just a CFW of their own except it depends on their cart, and it's not a particularly good (or bad) CFW.
>>128167150
Ill look i guess, im tired i just want to see this fucking thing play games.
I should download the translation of FE fates or wait for that game? how fully translated is it?
Also was dev menu? another fbi or big blue? it says i need to use that for the translation cia. or does bigblue work with mostly everything.
>>128165914
Not exactly.
You're going to want a little more space than the size of the cia though
>>128167319
now him but I'm having the same problem.
Taking out the SD card and turning it off and on works, but when I put the sd card back it freezes, or if I put it when it is turned off and then turned it on, it's still black. Everything works when the SD card is out.
>>128166803
Is there any other silly games like that that you know of that you have a download for?
Okay so I'm all downgraded, but I think I royally fucked up doing all of the emunand stuff. I cannot install shit in FBI while using CakesCTW in emunand mode. How the hell can I start from scratch without fucking everything up?
>>128167672
Thanks
>>128167404
You can install the theme program's cia (forgot the name) with bigblue or FBI or w/e the fuck in emunand, and then just apply themes from the program in emunand.
