10.4 is out?
Is it safe to get a Nintendo Network ID after setting up emunand? I've been out of the loop for so long I'm not even sure what it's for
I just have a feeling Nintendo is gonna pull a Sony and start banning accounts the moment you have one set up

Don't update, 10.4 is out.
Alright guys I fucked up somewhere, before doing the format for emunand I copied all my shit and put it in a new folder, then I proceeded to do the format, one finished I copied shit back to the sd and got some wierd error with a shit ton of numbers on my pc. I tried it anyways and now my homebrew doesn't load up, it's just black and red and all my shit is gone
Should I unlink before updating emunand or doesn't matter?
10.4 IS OUT
>>127695335
no, it's a troll
retards think they're being funny
only update that i know of that wasn't released on a monday was 9.2 and that wasn't even an anti-piracy update
aw damn, where do I get the update files to use the systemupdater thing to update emunand to 10.3

Is there a way I can get etrian odyssey 2 fafnir knight AND all of its DLC?
I heard DLC breaks when it's the wrong region
For the new thread:
I'm following the downgrade guide for retards linked in the OP: http://pastebin.com/AbVDSTvG
I would intuit this step were it not for the all-caps DO NOT FUCK THIS UP warning.
I've got all the files I need downloaded, but step 4 says I should find a folder called "sysUpdater". When I extracted the MEGA file, julian20_libkhax_sysUpdater (the first linked in the guide), I didn't get a folder, but rather two files - sysUpdater.3dsx and sysUpdater.smdh within the default extracted folder with the same name as the archive.
I'm just worried about screwing up folder structure. Should I rename the folder containing the files sysUpdater or just drop the two files into the 3ds folder?
If 10.4 comes out and I have a backup of my emuNAND at 10.3, is there any risk in updating?
>>127695471
Unlinking before is a tiny little bit better

Hey, i'm following this guide http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
and i'm at the cakes part. I put everything it asked in my SD card, however I don't see a "cakes" option in the homebrew channel. Was there ever a files that I was supposed to put into the 3ds folder that had the cakes app?
>>127695605
drop them into 3ds folder
Can anyone help? I doing the CAKESFW and I don't know where to but the DBS files
New 3DS XL, Ironhax, 10.3.0-28U.
I try running the MemChunkHax2 Readiness Test, but I keep softlocking. The output is as follows:
>am:u init1 result/handle: res=3638584326 handle=0

>System type: New
>KObject address: FFF71B34
>Mapping pages for overwrite...
>Overwrite complete.
>Map complete.
After that, I have to long-press the power button to reset my 3DS. Nothing seems to have been lost or corrupted, thankfully, though I did notice that my charging light, which had for weeks been blinking intermittently when my 3DS was done charging, had finally begun staying off.
Anybody have any idea what's up? Does it not work on Ironhax?
>>127693323
Anyone have a solution for this? I'm still at the beginning setup stages, not even downgraded yet.
I've tried 2 different versions of FBI's as well and both gave an error.
>>127695638
Only time can tell. As a rule of thumb, never update until a trusted source tells you it's safe.
Where can I find CIA game updates?
>>127695367
>>127695398
>>127695549
>>127695492
Browserhax was just blocked for me.
Got the same message from last update.
>>127695718
You can still download the test. Some people still like running the test.
>>127695638
I wouldn't update until people confirm that 10.4 is safe on Emunand.
For all we know Nintendo might add a autobrick in 10.4 if it detects that you're on emunand when updating.
IT'S HAPPENING 10.4 IS OUT! DON'T UPDATE!!
>>127691942
How can I solve my error?
>>127695787
the test tells you literally nothing, stop being a retard and making retarded ops
>>127695738
anyone?
I got baited into downloading a .3dz rom, what am i supposed to do to convert it into .cia? the simple cia converter doesn't recognise .3dz files
>>127695368
No.
>>127695381
Yes.
>>127695539
If you're on O3DS you can just use the regular update option in system settings
if you're on N3DS you can't update to 10.3
>>127695578
To handle DLC you just neet NTR. Go download BootNTR.
>>127695605
I answered you last thread, but renamed the folder like you thought and then put that into the 3DS folder
if you put the files inside the 3ds folder by themselves it doesn't show up properly on the menu
>>127695742
why the fuck are you trying to install a cia if you're not even downgraded?
>>127695808
sure
>>127695782
I just updated and I'm on 10.3, shut up faggot
So I'm on n3ds 9.2.0, I've followed the guide to regain access to the eShop but I get the 022-2634 error code, which came from unlinking my NANDs. I've read that I have to also format my emuNAND, then connect to the NNID from there, then restore, but I'm prompted to update.
I've tried using HANS from HBL to spoof the firmware version but it didn't work and got the 022-2511 error.
How can I unlink my emuNAND's NNID, then?
>>127695904
Rename it to .3ds
DAMMIT
I did a successful emunand transfer
but now on the h&s app, it's still giving me errors for the CIAS that there isn't a database
The system is updated to rx3d 10
what gives?
>>127695660
Should I use tinyformat or just format my sysnand with sd card out?
Some guy linked me to a yo-kai watch US download saying it's cryptofixed
So I downloaded it and there is an info file in the zip saying
"This CIA has not been Firmware Spoofed for use in CFW
This CIA has not had its Region Locking removed
This CIA's original region is USA"
what do now
I'm on 9.5 europe n3ds

Thanks dog, I'm >>127695605
It looks like I don't have a folder named 3DS by default - here's my directory with Browserhax successfully booted once.
Does this mean I should create a folder just called 3ds instead of Nintendo 3ds, or am I overthinking it?
a. v0, v1026, or v2051
b. Firmware GW 3.6.1 Beta Ultra or Firmware GW 3.4.1 Ultra
>>127696004
open eshop, close it once it loads (or fails to load)
>>127696009
Whichever you prefer. If you have something you want to keep on sysnand then don't frrmat it of course

The line didn't particularly need deleting. I'm not wrong that some people still use it. You are suffering baseless triggering.I guess it can go though.
so just unlinked my nands with tinyformat, can I update emunand fine now?
>>127696082
>>127696149
Try injecting without any set of files on the SD, it'll tell you which you need.
>>127696235
NTR is ezpz, just install its cia and put ntr.bin on your sd card

https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-setting-up-9-0-9-2-n3ds-xl-for-rxtools-cfw-including-emunand-coldboot-cia-manager.405589/
Alright, following this guide I've been able to do everything except one problem: I boot rxtools from the CtrBootManager and it throws me into a boot loop where it just glitches into CtrBootManager again. I've tried several different versions of rxtools. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this didn't happen on the first 3DS I did. Pls.
>>127696162
>>127696082
>>127696297
Alright thanks, one last question.
Do I need to start my 3ds with my new sd card in for it to make any directory before I place these files in my sd root?
>tfw installed too many games and now I don't know what to play
Fuck, I knew this would happen. I haven't even finished my DS backlog from when I bought a flashcard.
>Now, launch the rxTools menu (hold L during launch), and boot RXMODE SysNAND.
You will be booted to what appears to be regular SysNAND.
This just takes me to the Homebrew launcher. Should I have deleted menuhax before doing this CFW shit?
>>127696082
1. Boot up your 3DS and launch rxTools. Hold L when the bottom screen glitches to get into the menu.
2. Press dpad RIGHT to go to Advanced Options -> Press A -> Install FBI -> Press A -> choose EMUNAND, then select "check TMD version".
3. Take note of the console region and the TMD version, and turn off your 3DS.
4. Open the rxtools download and open the "Tools/fbi_injection/[region]/[version]" folder and copy the "fbi_inject.app" and "fbi_inject.tmd" files to the SD card root dir.
5. Put the FBI.cia from the FBI download onto your sd card
6. Boot up your 3DS and launch rxTools. Hold L when the bottom screen glitches to get into the menu.
7. Press dpad RIGHT to go to Advanced Options -> Press A -> Install FBI -> Press A -> choose EMUNAND, then select "Install FBI". When it's done, it will ask what you want to do with the source. Select "keep" if you want to install FBI to sysnand later.
8. Now, return to the rxtools main menu and select RXMODE -> EMUNAND and launch the Health & Safety Information app, it should boot FBI instead
9. Select FBI.cia and press A to install it.

(Repeat lines 1-5 again, this time Injecting FBI to Sysnand if you want to inject to sysnand too for certain reasons like using the sysupdate .cia)

3dsiso
find a thread that has the update for the game you're looking for, what game was it?
Just wondering, what's the pro's of using devMenu or bigBlueMenu? I just installed Rhythm Tengoku with the updated FBI loader that another person linked and it worked fine, so I'm just wondering what other features those programs have.
>>127695261
now that ive downgraded my n3ds, i can just format my sd card without any issue, right?
>>127696297
Is that all?
Will I have to change anything about it or is NTR just working passively forever after I installed its .cia once?
And that will let me play yokai watch for sure, even on a 9.5 n3ds?
>>127696450
That really depends on if you're trying to back up any games, friend code, etc.
>>127696129
I know that feel bro.
Working on it too atm.
I think it's cause we used rxtools 2.6 and not 3.0
I'm trying 3.0 as we speak
9.5 N3DS XL
Browserhax set up.
I assume MenuHax is setup since I can hold down the L shoulder button and it boots to homebrew page.
Downloaded 9.2.0-20U(Full)_n3DS and extracted to the root of my SD card in a file named updates.
All I need now to do is is to download sysupdater and put it in my 3DS folder correct and let the hours of misery ahead begin?
>>127695261
So are the latest versions suppose to show no numbers or is this going to be a biggee pain in the ass than my other 3DS?
>>127696452
You just select NTR from the home menu once you load up your main CFW and it'll boot up, adding features on top of it
NTR has some other features you might want too, like performance boosts
Ok when unlinking the 2 NANDs, I lose all my games on sysNAND but not emuNAND right? I don't want to do anything until I can confirm whether I'll still be able to use my games. How would I get into emuNAND to play them?
>>127696418
Thanks for answering, it's Code Name S.T.E.A.M.
Too bad I registered in that site yesterday and I haven't received the confirmation mail yet, should I try again?
Can anyone help?
I'm using this guide http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji and I don't know where the dbs.zip files are suppose to go because I see 4 gibberish files.
>>127696153
>If you have something you want to keep on sysnand then don't frrmat it of course
I don't really want to lose anything yet. Is tinyformat fine, then? Also, thanks.
>>127696319
browserhax has a low success rate, so that's not unexpected
>>127696580
They do not do the countdown now.
I made an improved non-kickass starter pack.
It should have everything required point-to-point to get up and running from scratch (pre-downgrade) to rxTools (excluding the firmware files). I also took the liberty of rewriting the firmware .bat file to be more streamlined.
I wrote a pretty thorough readme for the entire process, but some wording is either vague or nonexistent so fleshing out those would be nice.
Also, it works during any part of the process so if you just downgraded and don't know what to do next you could follow along perfectly by starting to set up rxTools.
> a.pomf.cat/cgcwnc.7z
Thoughts and suggested improvements are appreciated.
>>127696580
I had the same screen and the downgrade went through on the first try.
>>127696345
How did you get past the stage where it tells you to run FBI and install fbi.cia after running pasta. Mine keeps throwing errors no matter what I do.
>>127696628
Install tinyformat on emunand and format with it then.
I just asked a few minutes ago. I had an issue with rxtools and had to redo the process. Instead of having two folders with letters and numbers in the Nintendo3DS folder, I have three. The games I had bought previously don't show up anywhere, but they are taking space. I want to be able to manage them. An anon told me to merge the to merge whatever nand you want them on with the folder from the old nand. Which folder do I merge with which?
This is how my stuff looks.
Do I have to install browsehax on emunand to use custom themes? Or does applying the theme on menuhax in sysnand also apply it to emunand? they're both unlinked, so it's probably the former
>>127696595
What about freemultipatcher?
That's one .cia I already have to launch everytime I boot into my rxtools+emunand.
Will I now have to boot both fmp and then ntr?
>>127696654
Fug. So how do I know if I'm in the clear? If it doesn't freeze? I don't want to pull the trigger like a mad man like I did the first time because I don't own this one.
>>127696509
yeah i dont care about that
>>127695967
Help, anyone?
>>127695741
You have to run a homebrew app first before the check will work.
Just run FTP or something then go back to the homebrew menu and try the test.
just updated, still 10.3
>>127696730
Alright, thanks.
>>127696605
I was able to register fine, got an email conformation, but i was able to access it without confiming my email. I'll also look for the updates for you.
>already filled my 32GB microSD card with games now that I've downgraded and have to buy another one
>>127696753
Oh, if you already have fmp then you're good
>>127695721
No, but they can be converted.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-3ds-simple-cia-converter.384559/
>>127695738
Wow.. You shouldn't have that many of those folders. I guess to be safe place the files in all of the gibberish folders.
>>127695741
The readiness test is not needed anymore. Anyone can downgrade.
>>127695774
Same place you find the games. 3dsiso.com
>>127695852
Are you the guy trying to downgrade? You don't solve it, you just keep trying. Memchunkhax2 has a very high fail rate so you gotta just keep trying.
>>127696086
that whole guide is for after you already downgraded.. it's not going to work on 10.3.
Here, use my guide, I actually was heavily influenced by the one you linked, plus I start from downgrading:
http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
>>127696235
it's just a cia you launch on top of another CFW, it's no big deal
>>127696069
yes
>>127696146
>Does this mean I should create a folder just called 3ds instead of Nintendo 3ds, or am I overthinking it?
You're correct. Create a folder called '3ds' or '3DS' either works.
>>127696290
If you're on O3DS, yes
>>127696345
Check if it happens with Cakes as well: http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
>>127696380
just change your menuhax binding from L to something else
run menuhax managed and it should be the second option
>>127696440
devmenu is the official nintendo cia manager from their SDK, bigbluemenu is an open source version of devmenu
you probably don't have a reason for all three around but I'd definitely install one of the other two just in case you ever run into something that won't install or something
>>127696536
>All I need now to do is is to download sysupdater and put it in my 3DS folder correct and let the hours of misery ahead begin?
Yep.
>>127696604
Correct. You'll use menuhax. If you're setting up coldboot it'll launch menuhax when you power on and then ctrbootmanager where you choose what to launch.
>>127696683
That stage has been pretty simple both times, what errors is it throwing at you? And when? What model of 3DS?
does the eshop not work on 9.5 emunand n3ds? i've tried everything and it's still telling me to update
>>127696392
I don't know why it's telling me this when I try to copy my stuff back to my sd.
>>127696756
Basically if mashing Y gets you through, it passed the steps. Otherwise reboot and swear.
Question: If i want to have Smash with all the DLC characters, do i need to download every previous DLC, or just the latest patch will do?
>>127696605
If youre using Gmail you may not get it. Check spam.
>>127696887
Are you saying with FMP I can install etrian odyssey fafnir .cia, then the DLC .cia for it and play it just fine despite it being NA on my euro n3dsxl?
What about the yo-kai watch that is not cryptofixed? It requires 9.9, I'm on 9.5.
Does FMP let me not care about that and still play it even though it's just a normal .cia?
Just want final confirmation
Taco here
Am I ready to upgrade my emunand to 10.3?
My downgrade was successful.
I did formatting emunand and backup my nand in my computer.
I followed this guide http://i.imgur.com/tH9FMpc.png for "Setting up CFW" and "FBI Injection"
My nand is unlinked
Have menuhax on sysnand and I followed the retards guide for autobooting rxTools edition http://pastebin.com/6BBug6nD
My eshop games are fine and pic related is my result and I'm about to install my first cia on emunand (PSMD)
Any other advice I forget? Thanks
>>127696605
also let me know the region. I've found a few updates.
>>127696359
I know that feel.
I just decided to make a list of games I'm going to play and I've been sticking to that. Right now I'm playing A Link Between Worlds and then I'm going to start on Majora's Mask.
Tinyformat wiped my emu instead of sysnand. What do I do now?
>>127696959
It thinks some of your files aren't really there. Try rebooting.
>>127697000
Just the latest. I think I answered this in another thread, but I guess maybe you didn't see.
>>127695261
Is 3dsiso the only site that actually has cia games? It's such a horrible site to browse and everyone uses shitty file hosting sites.
>>127697125

>>127697140
I've rebooted several times already
When restarting after a brick, do I need to delete any of the existing files or can I just plunge right back into it?
>>127697146
There's private trackers, but those require a working knowledge of private tracker knowledge, and the best one has been DDOSed to death for over a month.
>>127696810
I tried those instructions; I should have specified.
I suppose I can always try again, though. I'll see what doing BlargSNES before the test does.
>>127696903
I'd rather be safe than sorry.
how to patch to 10.3 on emuand after 10.4 is out next week?
>>127697069
Games which aren't patched for region free will work with only fmp
DLC will not, and requires NTR
NTR by itself does region free patching for both games and DLC, so if that's all you're using fmp for you can switch to NTR only

I'm having to use minipasta rather than pastacfw but other than that I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. Go into that menu through browserhax, run minipasta, then go into FBI and try to instal the fbi.cia.

Patch to 10.4
>>127697283
Good to know. I assume NTR also disables updates from coming in like FMP does?
Thank you!
>>127697259
Sysupdater or find a game cartridge that has the 10.3 update
>>127697303
nvm, just read the link and realizde it 404'd

Thanks, it's US.
>>127696580
What does this mean, in sysNAND gateway mode? Gateway mode only has emunand.
Out of curiosity, do Japanese 3DS owners hack their systems at all? Do they even know about the new exploits? Is piracy even a thing there?
>>127696810
>>127697249
Nope, same soft-lock problem.
This time, the KObject has changed to FFF70FA4, though. I didn't get "Map complete." either.
Who is getting softbricks here?
>I found the solution for those that downgraded and get the black screen.
Go into your SD-card (on your PC) and rename your emunand folder (Nintendo 3DS/XXXXXXXXXX) to something else.
Now start your 3ds and boot into emunand. It will recreate the folder (but without your installs). This is fine.
Take out your SD-card and go back to your PC. Move all the files from your renamed emunand folder to the one that just got created EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT CONFLICT. DO NOT MOVE THOSE. IT WILL NOT WORK.
For you guys that downgraded and get a black screen after updating to 9.5 emunand
thanks everybody for being so helpful, this is really a time when 4plan shines. got fire emblem awakening and animal crossing finally working. so whats a safe way to get a new theme on my emunand without breaking menuhax or cakes?
Do I really have to use cake? Whats wrong with RxTools?
>>127696903
>Correct. You'll use menuhax. If you're setting up coldboot it'll launch menuhax when you power on and then ctrbootmanager where you choose what to launch.
Ok cool, and what happens as far as my NNID goes? I downloaded quite a few games and I don't want to just lose access to them even if I can pirate, if I ever wanted to reinstall a purchased game would I be able to?

Bummer. Last Private tracker I used was bitgamer, but that is long gone.
Is the N3DS downgrade safe yet?
I've had nothing but issues with n3ds. The easiest part was downgrading, everything else has been a nightmare
>>127697528
Piracy is more severe if caught in Japan and is frowned upon.
But yes of course there are people who hack their systems. One of the earliest hard mod guides for 3DS was done by some Japanese guy.
How do I determine that my nands were successfully unlinked so I can update on my emunand without fucking everything up
>>127697528
>Is piracy even a thing there?
Of course it is. Wanting stuff for free is a global desire.
>>127696903
I don't want to do Cakes because this is my little brother's 3DS and his primary interest is playing Fire Emblem If and it says in your guide that Cakes doesn't support region free natively and there would be extra red tape associated with running games from other regions. I guess I'll keep trying to get rxtools not to bootloop.
Do all the files from the emuNAND zip go directly in the root?
>>127697662
Since 2 days ago, just do it familia
>>127697259
Run SysUpdater on EmuNAND.
>>127697243
Don't remind me, anon
God I'm so confused right now.
I have 9.2 O3ds with menuhax installed. I was following the imgur guide but rxtools wouldn't load. So i looked to other guides and they all have slightly different things of what to do and fuck why isnt there one single correct pastebin?
While im searching, anyone need links to games/updates?
I'm kinda paranoid so I turned my Wifi off. Is there any way Nintendo can force your 3DS to update its firmware or am I a paranoid fag?
>>127697662
Chances are slim assuming everything is done properly and you use the newest sysupdater. It hasnt been that bad since after day 1
>>127697567
This is completely WRONG. This didn't fix it for me. What you need to do is change your theme on sysNAND
>>127697607
i could not get rx tools to work for the life of me (o3ds) but cake worked on the first try. theres a cake guide somewhere that is decent after the downgrading part. but before hes kind of a dick and expects you to have installed cfw before and is vague and shitty about it.
Does changing emuNAND to JP to use for FE14 DLC affect anything other than region?
Or does it just reset it entirely.
>>127697801
There isn't. It'll autodownload the update though, and 9.9+ browsers are disabled if it knows there's an update available
>>127697647
I met a lot of cool JPN players in FFXIV who play on PC, some are "hardcore" raiders.

Is there really any reason to get CFW up on my o3DS?
I already have a PSP and I don't plan on pirating games.
I made it to the rxTools, but i dont see an Other Options selection, just a Boot Emunand or boot Sysnand
What do i do?

I was once like you. Then my favorite game got an amazing English patch I was locked out of, and I also found myself wanting to transfer my saves in a way that wasn't insane and convoluted. I don't think you'll regret giving yourself the option.
Nintendo is selling refurbished 2DS's for 60 bucks right now. Worth picking up?
>>127697925
its a lot simpler, i never even used any of the crap in Rx tools (used emunand9tool) less options and easier to put on SD correctly. (gbatempt told me to rename the firmware.bin filename?) maybe im just a faggot but cake was def easier for me
>>127698009
Region free gaming
Custom themes
Homebrew applications
I wasn't able to find an update for code name: STEAM, sorry bud.
N3DS success story here. Got
>Ace Attorney Trilogy
>Luigi's Mansion 2
>Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
>Star Fox 64 3D
Feels so good. I'm having trouble locating Xenoblade Chronicles, but these will keep me going for a good while.
So chmm2 is being weird with its themes right now. After changing the themes, the BG music doesn't change. How do I fix this? Using latest chmm2 btw.
>>127698096
Go for it if you don't have a 3DS
>>127697716

Already have a PSP.
I just don't see the point. I've tried nearly 30 times to get the sysupdater to launch right on my o3DS

I have 9.5.0-23e 2DS and DS flashcart
According to pic related I should forget about pirating right?
i keep hearing that im gonna get fucked if i wait to downgrade
how true is this?
is it safe to downgrade now?
im on 9.8 (i think) btw
>>127698284
MSET exploit or Menuhax
CHMM has its own CIA, you can use that instead
You can update it, if you want to lose access to CFW and go back to a vanilla 3DS
Wait for it to be confirmed working here before updating emunand
>>127698284
NEVER EVER EVER UPDATE SYSNAND. you can and should update emuNAND in order to use online features, just be careful you dont accidentally update sysNAND instead. I have not found a way to start rxtools without the internet, but i'd make a bookmark if you havent, just to start it faster.
>>127698284
I think you go directly into homebrew by holding L while booting 3ds
>>127698241
change your default theme to a different one and then set the CHMM2 theme again
>>127698284
menuhax coldbood
yes
yes
if o3ds, sure, if n3ds, only to 9.5 with sysupdater, but up to you
If I'm on 9.5 and want to run a game that requires a higher firmware, but the .cia isn't fw spoofed, can I do anything?
>>127698364
downgrade using sysupdater, guide's in OP.
>>127698327
romhacks
fan tls
undubs
mostly the point is pirating games though
>>127698403
it's mostly memesters, but if nintendo put out 10.4 on monday (which is likely) you won't be able to recover if you softbrick in the downgrade process
however, if you wait until the software's stable, there's a good chance softbricking won't be an issue anyway
Everytime I boot my games are wrapped, how do I get rid of it?
Once I've downgraded do I have to redownload homebrew, etc?
Does PSX emulation not work on the o3DS?
>>127698327
If you're not interested in piracy or homebrew, then by all means don't use CFW.
>>127698364
Out of date piece of shit
You can downgrade
>>127698403
Make sure you're on 9.8. If you are definitely on 9.8 you're fine to play the waiting game, if you don't update.
>>127698338
I have tried already, no success.
>>127698364
Nah, this pic is outdated.
You can downgrade from firmwares up to 10.3 and then you're able to pirate.
I reinstalled menuhax on 9.2 after downgrading. A few hours later I can't get to homebrew via menuhax. What happened?
Posting again:
I'm at this step "You will be in Homebrew Launcher now. Scroll down to PastaCFW and start it. This will bring up your home menu again, but with Pasta patches applied, meaning you can install unsigned .cia files now.
Repeat the steps to get into Homebrew Launcher, open FBI and install the .cia of FBI. Destination needs to be SD. Now FBI is in your SysNAND.
This is necessary so that it gets copied over to EmuNAND in the following step. If for any reason you don't have FBI in your EmuNAND at the end, look at the Beginner's Advice at the end of the tutorial for a solution."
(In this https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-setting-up-9-0-9-2-n3ds-xl-for-rxtools-cfw-including-emunand-coldboot-cia-manager.405589/)
Pre downgrade. I've tried a different version of FBI and it threw an error too.
>>127698364
you can downgrade, use this
http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
>>127698352
>Won't using that DNS fuck you over if you ever softbrick?
yes it will, i had assumed you already downgraded, do not use it before downgrading.
as far as i know it doesn't disable online entirely, it only blocks nintendo's updates and notifications (don't quote me on this).
>>127698448
>>127698453
I've got menuhax installed to my sysnand, how do I go about auto-booting to emunand through it? I don't have any hax whatsoever installed to my emunand
Also, isn't this tool supposed to be better than CHMM2?

>>127698727
>That shit got translated day 1 basically
Is it actually translated or only the menu?
WELP
>>127698626
As another note I've had to use minipasta rather than pastacfw, but that doesn't seem to change things other than bringing me straight back to the homebrew menu instead of me having to go through browserhax again.
>>127698727
The MHX patch is pretty cool, but I wish that they would translate the NPC dialogue and mission text since they usually provide hints or insight to the world of the game.
Ah well, here's hoping that Capcom eventually localizes the game. MH4U sold well overseas didn't it? So I expect them to announce it soon.
>>127698769
No

Anyone please. I'd like to know what can be done. I have stuff occupying my SD and can't even access it.
>>127698769
no, you can use browserhax and menuhax
>>127698824
find that mega link with all the firmwares that people used for downgrading and then get the one for 9.5 N3DS

>>127698714
i don't know if it'll help, but press Y in the homebrew menu and turn on wifi, it worked for me the first time after i did that
>>127698852
First it was mostly menus, but it quickly expanded to include all things important, like the skill names and really everything besides NPC dialogue. At this point it has something impressive like 32k lines translated.
>>127698928
That's alright, at least I have 0 reason to clumsily try in vain getting Google Translate to work with some blared out snapshot of a blurry backlight.
I extracted the starter kit into the root of my sd and then scanned the qr code but it doesn't do anything and all I see is a scroller on the top left corner on the bottom screen. I'm on 9.4, am I doing something wrong?
>>127698674
No it will not, stop spreading misinformation. If you can't connect to any access point the 3ds will ask you to create a new connection.
Where do I get a pandora battery for my 3DS?
holy shit why does formating emunand take forever
god damn doing this shit is scary
>>127698824
https://mega.nz/#F!IApGwLJL!kYHL5jMlDfd0rmn6a8DaFw
found it
>>127699186
There's nothing scary at all about formatting emuNAND, other than faggots who forgot to back up their SD. You can't brick or something.
Do any of you think it'll ever be possible to use old DS flashcart on 3DSes again? My poor DS that's screens are both 50% dead pixels now and I would love to keep using my crappy R4 clone.
Well, I managed to make Cakes work but for some reason CTRBootManager fucks it up. Well, at least I don't have to use the browser whenever I want to play games now.
>>127699143

thanks anon. Do I run them all through FBI or do I need a sysupdater like the downgrade?
where to get the slot bin shit?
>>127698352
If it ever comes down to that, try the following. Since the TubeHax DNS works on a per-connection basis, you could try changing the SSID of your router from your computer. When the 3DS tries to check for updates, it *MIGHT* prompt you to create a new connection. I haven't confirmed if this is true, but it's worth a try.
>>127699309
How old?
>>127699432
Fucking old man, like ones that got affected by that flashcart killer update from years ago. I was just thinking it'd be neat if it'd be possible somehow.

you might just need bluecarefix.cia
>>127699350
I think you need a sysupdater, but I actually have heard of updating emunand with bigbluemenu by hitting the "install all in folder" button so maybe it's worth a shot
either way make an emunand backup with emunand9 if you haven't already before you do this
WHY
literally every time i try with fates, i got paper jam EUR working fine. this is the second fates .cia i tried to use
Anyone having trouble getting the smash bros 1.1.3 dlc to work? I installed updates for all my games through bigbluemenu, and the only one that seemed to fuck up was Smash bros. It gives me a "please shut off the console" error

have you tried with dev menu or bigbluemenu? sometimes cia managers are picky and I know dev menu is the least picky
>>127699693
Maybe never.
Why do you need it anyway? You don't even need 9.5. 9.2 is fine.
>>127699578
>you might just need bluecarefix.cia
I didn't know about this one, I'll have to install that and try it out sometime soon. Thanks man.
>>127699715
I'm not too sure since it happened before I had a 3DS but I guess we'll see when I try.
>>127699693
some anon said it was currently impossible and we're more likely to get CFW on >=9.3
basically sysnand being on 9.6+ (and thus emunand also being that high) is easier than unlocking higher emunand from 9.2 sysnand
>>127699794
It makes me feel safer. What happens if Nintendo changes how online works? Isn't that supposed to come with that Nintendo Account bullshit?
>>127699724
i'll try devmenu, thanks
Am I still good to update my emunand to 10.3?
If I have my emuNAND on autoboot through the menuhax exploit, can I just change my theme for a regular one or would that fuck my shit up? If yes, how do I change it?
Did anyone manage to get Smash DLC working? I managed to get the DLC working for every game except for smash. I injected the update then the DLC but none of the DLC characters showed up.
I just downgraded my 3ds with the CIAs and this comes up, any idea how to fix it?
