-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.
what time will nintendo start the update?
Using http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji on a N3DS on 9.5
At the begining with the step mentioning database entries and things, I think that's only supposed to be done if they don't already exist, as I did it and in order to recompile them, my 3ds deleted all updates and downloadable contents from my sd card.
So, with that in mind, I owned the dlc for smash and a few titles from the eshop, and they were wiped long before making an emunand and all that, so is it possible to get them back, I know the saves are gone, if I use the eshop spoof from http://pastebin.com/SjFXhB5a
I'm just asking before hand, because I don't want to waste my time to find out that I can't actually redeem the things attached to my NNID, which I believe is still active on my emunand, but I don't know how to check. Thanks
I made an improved non-kickass starter pack.
It should have everything required 3DS side (minimal PC tools) to get up and running from scratch (pre-downgrade) to CFW (multiple, rxTools default).
Additional assitive tools like SVDT (savedata manager) and Decrypt9 (extract/inject multi-tool) are also included for edge-cases.
I also took the liberty of rewriting the firmware .bat file to be more streamlined and a pretty thorough readme focusing on rxTools.
Thoughts and suggested improvements are appreciated.

Is 4GB enough to get homebrew running at least? My friends wants to do it now before the update but can't go out and buy a bigger SD right now.
>>128182029
Yeah its fine you can get a handful of games on it
I installed the CFW, how do I install games now?
who /waitingforpingotogive100%brickproofdowngrade/ here?
>>128182029
Yes. Hell, I got a friend of mine set up on an emunand and playing triforce heroes online with a 2GB card.
Worst case scenario, at least get the downgrade done now.
>>128182083
Can't wait.
What's the current best downgrade and cfw guide for a O3DS?
I saw one being passed around in the last thread but if anyone would be nice enough to link it to me here, that'd be great
What is xorpad? I keep seeing this word but can't find a definition. The 3dshax on reddit didn't have it in their terminology faq either.
Also am I right in thinking ctr doesn't work on rxtools 2.6? I don't want to update if its as buggy as I hear but going to the browser every time is really annoying.
When I try to generate xorpads in Rxtools:
>Processing ncchinfo.bin...
>Error opening SDinfo.bin!
The fuck do I do now, guys?
If I use tubedns can I still play online?
I tired opening eshop and miiverse through 10.3 emuNAND, and I got an error code that fixes by signing into the network with my NID through sysNAND, but when I go into settings to do that and I put in my info, it tells me in order to continue I need to update (on 9.2). Someone know what to do?
>>128182265
"no"
>>128182265
yes
>Playing the smash demo religiously for 60 hours since it came out with the code craze

Yes, it's intended to primarily block Nintendo's update servers.
However, it should be considered the first thing to check if you do experience problems online.
>>128182262
Ignore that error, you already got the xorpads. Congrats.
I have menuhax to autoboot rxtools, but menuhax also exists in emunand and it just loops forever.
How to remove menuhax from emunand while still keeping it in sysnand?
Can I do anything with a 2gb card or should I hold off on adding cfw on the 3ds until I grab a bigger memory card?
Will I be fine following this guide? http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW

Reposting in new thread
Is there a .cia of decrypt9 or something like it? I want to be able to generate XORpads without having to go into the homebrew launcher, if I can help it.
>>128182390
how the fuck can you not come up with 40 dollars in over a year
you would have to be a literal child. Like one that does even get allowance from his parents
If I use menuhax to boot the homebrew launcher, can I then run rxtools from there to get into my emunand? Opening this fucking browser is getting old. Everytime I exit a gba game it boots back to sysnand.
I tried to run the browser hack for the downgrade and got a red screen on bottom and black on top, did I already fuck this up?
>>128182437
Based AF
Alright, I got a new problem. I put the CIAs I wanted to download in the CIA file at the 3DS root, no biggie. rxtools loads up, except the logo doesn't show up and there's black screens with a red pixel on the bottom screen. I try booting up a bunch more times with possibly unrelated freezes happening before CTRBootLoader comes up. Finally, I get back to rxtools and I get the black screen again.
Did my emuNAND die suddenly, or is this normal as you add more stuff onto the SD card? I'm running RT 10.3 on an OG 3DS.
>>128182234
I found the retard's guide to be extremely helpful.
Is there a way to transfer save data from sysNAND to emuNAND?
Right now I have to use sysNAND to play the games I already actually owned if I want to use my save data.
>>128182426
Can you install CakesFW AND RxTools later? This is for a friend and Cakes worked great for me so I'd be able to get it working for him quickly, but RxTools is usually the best for a O3DS, right?
Can someone explain what does "put in the root of the SD" means? Trying to install Browser Hack.
>>128182491
unlink nands
Welp. Couldn't do it.
A whole week has passed with me trying to downgrade and I couldn't do it.
What do I do now? Not update and hope for a more stable downgrading process?

Got all the shit done to download games. But I still want to be able to access eshop. I know the steps to do it, but I can't load into homebrew launcher via CTR tool manager, or whatever it's called.

>>128182719
I can't get the update to work.
I install it and yet smash still says it needs to update.
>>128182719
what firmware are you on. the updates themselves require the latest firmware to run. so the base game requires at least 8.1 but the updates require like 9.6+
>>128182596
you must be 18 years or older to use 4chan
>>128182449
So if I flipped my wifi switch off on my O3ds there's no possibility of nintendo doing anything at all to my 3ds right? Like no stealth updates/whatever they may try and do.

>>128182820
Close lid and reopen.
>>128182842
Why not get it off the eShop?
>>128182859
That's the idea.
are there any alternatives to Tinyformat that I can launch from the hombrew launcher? CIAs keep disapearing from my homemenu even with pasta running correctly
http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
For this guide, when using TinyFormat to unlink the NANDs, what can I do make sure I'm in SysNAND?
"SD is too small for EmuNAND"
I'm using a 2GB card, trying to format.
Only 68MB free apparently. How much do I need?
>>128182925
Okay cool I was just wondering why more people weren't just recommending to flip the wifi switch off rather than change to some dns.
>>128182496
There's no practical way to do that. To keep it not-so-technical, Decrypt9 is actually implemented in a way very similar to CFW. It requires full control of the security CPU in the system which you can't possibly get when running in the home menu (the 9 in the name refers to the ARM9 which is the security CPU). This applies to EmuNAND9 too.
There isn't really any way to generate XORpads when the system is running. Though hopefully, we'll soon be able to decrypt 7.x+ games on PC thanks to Nintendo's key failures.
>>128182632
>>128182898
Literally a week of trying again and again.
>>128182852
Oh, my emunand it's on 9.2, should I update it?
>>128182945
Because you haven't used emunand yet in that guide, you're fine
>>128183000
Nice trips.
1GB for O3DS, I believe 2GB for N3DS.
currently trying to install FBI.cia, however always comes up with an install failed. confused with what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to install after booting through PastaCFW and can't find a solution
Hey guys, I'm currently following the "You are literally retarded" if you fail this guide, aka this one: http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW, and it seems I am retarded.
I've gotten to the step where I need to copy my back up information onto the SD card after formatting for Emunand, and my card has shrunk to half size and I cannot place all the information back onto my 3DS? What can I do for this? It went from a 4gb card to a 2.7gb card after formatting, so what should I do?
>>128182861
I actually am
>>128183031
yes
>>128182925
I tried that once.
It half downloaded it, didn't install shit, and then quit.
And I don't wanna fuck with eshop atm.
How do I go about swapping sd cards?
Just copy all the files off, push them back on, then reinstall rxtools?
>>128182945
make 7 folders and make them spell S Y S N A N D. If you don't see them, you're on EmuNAND.

It doesn't start from the beginning either when attempting again, so yes it will eventually work.

>>128183019
N3ds? What sysupdater are you using try the new safemode one from 3dsiso
if not go to the gbatemp one
I say delete the sysupdater folder and updates folder from your sd. Redownload 9.2 for your system and place the new sysupdater and updates on the card
>>128182492
Anyone please
>>128182470
>>128182656
ANYONE?
Should i try to go on eshop or is it really gone now that i didnt use this tinyformat and unlinked them the way the guide in paste bin said too?
Okay anons how much do I have to do so that I'm not fucked by 10.4? My brother wants me to do it for him and I'm too tired to do the whole thing now. I just want to get done as much as I need to so that 10.4 doesn't ruin everything.
Thanks.
>>128182586
The Cakes creator has an O3DS, it works fine on O3DS. Don't believe all the memes you hear here.
>>128182254
xorpads are used when you're decrypting .3ds ROMs to convert them to .cia
2.6 can't autoboot, switch to 3.0 or Cakes
>>128182390
I was a pretty rad Mario in the demo and I ended up going back to him a few months ago. He just feels so good.
>>128182496
You can get a launcher.dat of it and launch it via web browser. There's not a .cia, though.
>>128182656
>WHAT Why wasn't this shit in the guide?
I don't know what guide you used, but it's in my guide.
There's a fix somewhere. I don't keep it in my guide because my guide helps you prevent the issue in the first place.
>I can still use online in games right
No.. eshop, friend list, and online in games is all broken now.
This is what happens when you use shitty old guides.
>>128182818
The installer is FBI. Big Blue Menu is a newer one.
>>128182937
You can launch TinyFormat from the homebrew launcher. It's just a separate download.
>>128183086
What is the error?
>>128183092
>It went from a 4gb card to a 2.7gb card after formatting, so what should I do?
That space was taken up by the new emuNAND partition. 1GB if O3DS, 2GB if N3DS.
>>128183231
read FAQ, ctrl-f boot.cfg
>>128183232
You're not gonna get it to work. Check old threads for "error pastebin" or something.

How do you install the themes if I may ask?
>>128183390
you'll be able to downgrade to 9.2 for sure. if you're on o3ds, the emuNAND only takes up 1gb so i think you might be able to add cfw too
>>128183262
>Q: I'm getting a "Database does not exist" / "Invalid database" error! A: You likely haven't installed anything from eShop or other locations before. You will need to go to the "Nintendo 3DS/<id0>/<id1>/dbs/" directory on your SD card and create empty "title.db" and "import.db" files. Then, go to System Settings -> Data Management -> Nintendo 3DS -> Software on your 3DS and let it repair the database files.
Try that, it worked for me.
You might also have two <id0> folders, one of them is your sysNAND and the other your emuNAND, do the folder on both to be sure.
>>128183397
Try doing this

Well what do I do now? I literally do not have enough space to place all of my back up onto my SD card. Are there any files I can drop to add space? It's an O3DS if that helps any. Can I just grab a new SD card, and format that by placing the backup on the SD card and then doing the same steps to it?
>>128183525
Anything not needed to get into homebrew to allow formatting. Either delete through data management or backup to PC.
>>128183438
Ive come to realize hbg is a wasteland containing nothing but those damn cunts
All they do is shit up everything and come over here asking stupid questions that are answered in the fucking guide

>sysupdate freezes everytime
>launch homebrew through ironhax

Is 9.2.0-20U(Full).zip the right set of files to downgrade to? I've been at this for five hours. I try to start the console after it reboots into the error screen with and without the SD card and nothing is working, making me L+R+A+UP into safe mode each time.

do you have tubehax set in your DNS by chance? that stops the updater from working.

Where does everyone get their "backups" from?
>>128183665
Not at all
>>128183634
new or old3ds? region?
most softbricks are because you use o3ds files on n3ds or viceversa and/or have a game inserted, you fucking retards
>>128183634
What are you defining as a "soft brick"?
You mention menuhax, are you removing the SD card after downgrading?
The menuhax payload is invalid after downgrading so it will literally not boot, giving false symptoms of a soft brick.
>>128183709
Whatever you get, keep in mind you could install a game up to that size if using network install in FBI.
>>128183665
no. Delete that shit

Follow these vids in a row. Had no problems.
>>128183489

Going to bed. Lots of the common problems I'm answering here are answered in the FAQ at the bottom of this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
>>128183615
>Can I just grab a new SD card, and format that by placing the backup on the SD card and then doing the same steps to it?
If it's a bigger SD card, yes.
>>128183646
You'll have to reinstall menuhax. Also, scratch what I said about a separate download. It's in the same zip you downloaded, just copy the 3ds folder. I might edit my guide when I wake up to use the homebrew one instead since it's slightly less steps.
>>128183771
You're the last person I'm helping tonight! Just open the eshop to generate the database files. By the way, the answer to that was also in my FAQ.
>>128183336
That happens if it can't run the kernel exploit. See >>128183009 for why it won't work in hblauncher_loader, or in the EmuNAND web browser or anything.
If you're using CtrBootManager, you can set that up to boot into Decrypt9 like this:
[code]{
title = "Decrypt9";
path = "/Decrypt9.dat";
offset = "0x0";
}[/code]
You'd need the .dat version of it and I'm probably gonna look like a retard because I forgot if code tags work outside of /g/ now.
I'm retarded, what file do I open in CTR to boot rxTools?
I'm using Tux's sysupdater. I booted it up and got the red warning text, but I don't see what numbers the guide is talking about.
I'm on an o3ds 10.3
I booted the hbl via menuhax.
Should I worry about it?
>>128183771
open eshop to have it create database files. then try again.
>>128183793
i dropped mega links eariler in the thread. there's other sites like 3dsisos and shit that get tossed around from time to time.
>>128183789
>do you have tubehax set in your DNS by chance? that stops the updater from working.
Yes, i will disable it for now, thanks!
>>128183620
So could I just backup the whole "Nintendo 3DS" elsewhere for now and delete the contents on the SD?
>>128181817
Literally posted in one of the links in the OP
>>128183889
rxTools.
check your files
Has anyone had any issues with rxtools 3.0? The guides suggested to not use it so I went with 2.6 but 2.6 can't use ctr.
>>128183793
http://pastebin.com/5a1MNJaT
Scoured these links throughout the internet, uploaded them to pastebin so maybe someone doesn't have to brave the wilderness of Colombian adlink ridden blogs.
>>128183426
There's nothing in the FAQ about not being able to start up Cakes for the first time. Also there's nothing about boot.cfg in reference to fixing my issue. Is it really fine to skip ahead and do whatever that part of the guide tells me to do? I haven't done any of the cakes part of the guide, except for transferring the necessary files and clicking on it.

>If it's a bigger SD card, yes.
Ah alright then, just a question now so when I go to purchase a card for this, should I go for a larger size? I assume I'm placing the .cia files on the cards to transfer them to my 3DS right? What's a good size for transferring games over to it?
>>128181709
So I just unlinked my NANDS... I guess.
How can I know if they're unlinked correctly?
>>128181709
So Paper Jam is pre-loaded or whatever on the eShop, should we expect a rip soon?
>>128184010
"Nintendo 3DS" *folder
>>128182265
I use Tubehax in my sysnand and online works fine on the lastest firmware in my emunand.
>>128184067
8gb is good if you just want the games you like.
64gb is perfect if you're a hoarder.
>>128183426
>No.. eshop, friend list, and online in games is all broken now.
Are you fucking serious? so my online is fucked for following the retard guide?
http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW
What if i didnt fuck up? how can you maybe fix it?
I only went onto the eshop to get the fbi to work.
>>128184030
What's the extension, .3dsx? I've been looking but can't find that.
>>128184034
You're a real mensch anon. I hope you find your waifu of choice.
>>128184051
>>128184083
Go to each respective System settings and check the versions.
sysNAND should be Ver 9.2.-- and emuNAND should be RX 9.2 (or 10.3)---
>>128184034
gods work
>>128184127
already out
mega /#!EEoWnbDJ!DMPwd2Kw0YdRmXXIiJ8nKipYl0YH49m5XtLjYeZyAjM
>>128184067
The games themselves will be installed to the SD card. The size is obviously up to how determined of a pirate you expect yourself to be.
16GB is the absolute minimum I'd recommend, I filled my 32GB one up surprisingly fast so 64GB is probably good if you expect to get a lot, 32GB otherwise.
>>128184083
Create a folder while on emuNAND, reboot on sysNAND.
If the folder isn't there you unlinked them.
>>128181709
>>128183426
When converting .3DS to .cia is the header linked to just your 3DS or can others use it?
>>128184031
The RxTools devs are incompetent and unorganized. No wonder everyone's getting fucked up.
Use this guide: http://pastebin.com/HwDyhSiX
And remember:
"If you fail to boot emunand, copy ONLY boot.3dsx and boot.cfg from here
https://mega.nz/#!NY8yzSYQ!_zul080eqjYYPkwPmaAf5BAdFZHq3QfMSrIa7ZSgUBM
into the sd card root, overwrite if needed. Since you're on a N3DS, open up boot.cfg with notepad and change autobootfix = 8 to autobootfix = 2.
From there you should be done. I'd recommend doing this, now I have 100% boot rate after it failed to boot."
>>128184051
>>128184216
Oops, it was my retard mistake. I didn't put cetk in the cakes folder. Sorry nigga but thanks for your help.
>>128183812
Old (2DS), North America.
>game inserted
Is this really the cause? Someone in another thread stated that it didn't cause it.
>>128183819
It boots into "An error has occurred, something something support.nintendo.com" regardless of whether or not the SD card is in or not.
>>128181709
Is it possible to do that downgrade on a Mac? I tried and it wouldn't let me, even when I booted up Windows 7 on parallels
>>128184163
I use tubehax in my emunand cause I'm a paranoid fuck
>>128184209
Oh that's more clear.
Yes it should be that extension and depending on what guide you followed it should be brew.3dsx
Can I use any cia or does it have to be for my region? I know dumb question but I want to make sure.
>>128183426
Is
1) Turn on your 3DS into Homebrew Launcher (hold L, select Homebrew Launcher)
2) Run EMUNAND9
3) Select EmuNAND Manager Options > Backup EmuNAND to EmuNAND.bin
4) Once finished, turn off the 3DS and put the SD card into your PC
5) Copy the emunand.bin onto your PC. Keep it safe.
6) Open the Nintendo 3DS folder on the root of the sd card
7) Inside you should see some folders names something like "45kj6h4kjgh6kj4gk6"
8) Determine which folder represents your emuNAND (I recommend looking for the oldest backup you have. It should contain the Nintendo 3DS folder however one of the folders inside it will be missing. The missing folder is your emuNAND folder)
9) Cut/Paste the folder to your PC
10) Put the SD card into your 3DS and turn on itno emuNand (hold L, select rxTools)
11) Go to System Settings
12) Make sure you are still in emuNAND (It should say RX-E 10.3-28E or something similar)
13) Go to Other Settings > Page 4 > System Format
14) Let it do it's thing
15) Once you are formatted and back in the main menu, go back into the System Settings
16) Log into your NNID (top button). Make sure you log into your old ID, don't make a new one.
17) Once you are logged in, go back to the main menu
18) Open eShop and once you get to the store page, close it
19) Turn off the 3DS and put the SD card in your PC
20) Put the emunand.bin back onto the SD card's root, and place the emuNAND folder (names something like "984356h6kjghkjgliglyg") back into the Nintendo 3DS folder
21) Put the SD card in the 3DS and turn on into Homebrew Laucher (hold L and select Homebrew Laucnher)
22) Open EMUNAND9
23) Select EmuNAND Manager Options > Copy EmuNAND.bin to EmuNAND
24) Once finished, turn off the console
25) That's it! When you go back into emuNand, the eShop should work fine
the fix?
>>128184235
Nice, thanks
Okay so there was an anon in the last thread who told me I was trying to install cia files on my sysNAND and I finally figured out how. When I boot up my 3ds using the menuhax it's booting me into the sysNAND + homebrew and I have to boot up Pasta to get to emuNAND's homebrew/fbi/etc... Is it supposed to do that? if not, then how do I directly boot into emuNAND's homebrew? I hope this all makes sense
>>128184257
I'm on o3DS is that last line just for n3DS owners?
Wat the fuck I had been getting the downgrade part ready a while ago and now it keeps going to black screen?
>>128184364
Put the updates folder in the right place on your SD card, open up the terminal, type dot_clean and a space, drag the updates folder to your terminal, hit enter. It'll get rid of the OS X ._ crap files that fuck things up badly.
>>128184201
>>128184241
Ah alright then. I'll make sure to pick up a larger one. I thought I'd be installing directly to the console itself, because for some reason I thought the 3DS had a harddrive. Thank you friends, I'll go out and pick one up tonight or tomorrow. So just to clarify once more, my next steps after getting a bigger card is to do this.
>Place backup on card
>Boot into Homebrew
>Go into Emunand
>Format the card again
>continue tutorial
I don't need to get another NAND.bin from it if I got it already, right?
>>128184427
yes.
I keep getting
>not finding cia files
I heard I might need to delete a cia
any help?
>>128184375
You can update to the latest firmware without no problems in emunand if you have an o3ds.
>>128184364
The only thing you have to worry about on a mac is the whole dotfiles thing. Sysupdater can't handle dotfiles being present in the /update/ folder. To fix this run "dot_clean /Volumes/SDNAME/" in the terminal and it will remove all the leftover dotfiles. Make sure to eject immediately after the command finishes.
If you can't figure out the path to the sd card just drag it into the terminal and it will autocomplete it for you.
Started up cakes for the first time
"Failed to load the config"
"starting from scratch
"Failed to load FIRM"
what do
>>128184504
Yeah I did that then put tubehax in because I wont want it going to 10.4 when its out soon
So if I'm on 9.2, can I wait until later this week to do the rest? I need a new SD card.
>>128183623
Don't worry, the newcomers will be gone in a few weeks.
Or it might get worse after 10.4 is released.
Is it that bad to download game updates regularly? I did that with a couple games without issue before reading that you're supposed to download update cias.
could someone link me to the custom theme creator? or one that lets me edit existing themes?
>>128184579
Get Homebrew at least because they will fix the browserhax
>>128183614
Thank you
>>128184224
But this doesn't mean anything, right? My emuNAND was 'RX 10.3-28" before I unlinked it.
>>128184250
I've created a folder and it doesn't appear on the sysNAND, and the installed cias doesn't appear like gifts.
So... I guess it's fine. Thanks!
Do I keep going with this or what?
>>128184394
Anyone is this the fix, to fix the eshop/online problem?
I followed this guide and got this far but it didnmt mention online being fucked..
http://pastebin.com/EBKipkPW
it does say to do the fix like I just posted though. will this fuck up my games i just installed though?
So I have downgraded, got rxTools working and have been playing fire emblem fates all day. Just to make sure, the update tomorrow wont effect me right? Will online content be affected?
Question: Does EmuNAND9 need to run in Pasta or similar to do its thing? Like, the whole NAND back up and EmuNAND creation?
>>128184734
yes
>>128184420
Do you have CTRBootManager installed? It autoboots into Pasta/rxtools/whatever.
>>128184579
You can copy over to a new sd card later
>>128184471
Thanks for the help bub.
Can I delete .cia files after installing or are they needed to run shit afterward?
>>128184787
No, but it needs to be run before any CFW.
So I've got everything up and running great on my n3DS, 9.5U on Rxtools 3.0, the only thing is GBA games won't boot. I know before you had to patch AGB Firm but I thought that wasn't the case anymore. I have them installed to Sysnand and Emunand.
Do you have to update games using cia patches or can you just update through the eshop?
>>128184885
patch AGB firm and report back.
>>128184579
Just do the steps now, create a disk image of the old SD, and restore that image on the new SD when you get it
>>128184885
You have to patch AGB_FIRM on N3DS still, install it to the NAND on both SysNAND and EmuNAND. O3DS doesn't need AGB_FIRM patches on recent rxTools.
So can I only use cia files for my region or can they be from any region?
>>128184892
always update with cia, updating through eshop can get you banned or your cia deleted(?)
I have homebrew with menuhax installed and downgraded to 9.2 on my N3DS. Is it important that I get CFW running tonight before the server maintenance goes through?
Please show me your hacked N3DSs. I need some courage to hack mine.
>>128184871
Delet them
>>128184813
I'm having issues with size on my 2GB
>>128184568
I had to rename n3dsfirmware.bin to firmware.bin
thats the fix
>>128184892
I wouldn't go into the eshop for them, but as long as you have spoofed firmware or are on 10.3 emunand you can just download them from the prompt that appears when you try to launch the game, I think.
>>128184871
You can delete them.
>>128181709
How can I install a theme on my unlinked emuNAND without screw it up?
So I've got a weird error and I want to know if there's a way to fix it without using my emunand backup.
I used sysupdater in my emunand to move from 9.2 to 9.5 on my N3DSXL (USA) and now it boots up, says "Creating Home Menu Information" and then just black screens. What should I do about this? I'm using CTR to auto boot into rxTools.
Tries http://pastebin.com/SjFXhB5a to regain access to the eshop, and it seems my nnid is still linked to my emunand, as I can see my account balance and all that jazz. But when I try to download anything off the eshop, I'm greeted by Error Code: 007-2404, and a generic error message
Anything I can do to get this working so I can update my physical games without hunting for cias?
>>128183003
i sure do love that wifi switch on my n3ds.
>>128184202
I think hes fucking with you.
I was just playing mhx with my friends an hour ago
>>128184394
fuck reading this now makes me mad. I have to format the fucking thing again. Wont that get rid of everything like big menu and the games?
anyone?
I have a few questions.
I successfully CFWd an O3DSXL, and I've been running RXTools on autoboot quite happily for a few days now. 3DS roms (mostly) work fine.
But three things:
1. How do I play GBA roms? I've downloaded the vc injected ones from the pastebins on here, but I can get an error when I try to play them. Do I need another patch or something? I can only find instructions from pre-rxtools.
2. I've updated my emunand to the latest 3DS firmware via system update, should I stop doing that once Monday's patch is released and instead leave it happily where it is?
3. Is it possible to emulate original DS games? I've heard no and it's not a big deal but I'd like to double check.
>>128185089
link nnid on sysnand
>>128185003
>>128185067
There's a risk of being banned? Shit, glad I forgot to turn on the wifi when clicking the update button.
>>128185003
>updating through eshop can get you banned or your cia deleted
This has literally never happened to me, and I always update my titles via eshop.
>>128185028
dont be a pussy mate
Theme editor crashes when I select one, what do I do?
>>128185097
I fucking hope so.. because if its just eshop fine, but if its online in games im gonna be fuckijng mad. ill try out pokemon ruby
>>128185093
So basically only N3dses need to use the dns thing then? Since they don't have the switches.
>>128185164
Sounds terrifying, is it the bottom half off http://pastebin.com/SjFXhB5a because it's a different error code than the one listed, or is there a simpler and safer way to do it?
What does that accomplish anyway?
When I use TinyFormat and it brings me to setting up my sysNAND after the format, should I connect my 3DS to wifi? Should I link my NNID on the sysNAND or keep it on emuNAND?
Which is the best website to buy a ds flashcart from?
>>128185003

>>128185164
This is fearmongering. Nobody has been banned yet at all.
>>128184675
they can't fix the browser on 9.2
anything under 9.8 can always use browserhax
>>128185272
Feel free to set up wifi, but you probably won't need it. You can/should keep your NNID on Emu, setting it up on Sys requires an update or fuckery and just isn't worth it.
>>128185221
My friends are still playing online right now and they can still see the light on their 3ds flashing when i go online so dont worry
>>128183506
ok so maybe if i sign in on the sys, it could work on emu9?
>>128185046
>>128185067
thanks
>>128185290
t.b.h they're all pretty shitty. Just pick one and hope you don't get screwed
Fire Emblem Fates CIA WHERE
>>128185267
that's the simple way to do it, just log in to your nnid on sysnand and 2404 will be gone.
Just follow that guide.
so i'm trying to set up ctrbootmanager on a n3ds as per the guide. i've edited the file config but putting in the sd card just boots normally. the guide mentioned renaming the original boot file to boot_hb.3dsx for later use but doesn't come up again. should this filename be changed back?
>>128185375
in /feg/
I updated my emunand but now it wont start it just shows two black screens, what do? o3dsxl btw
>>128185375

>>128185375
this could someone post the complete translated 3.0 version?
>>128185028
Not a n3ds but look at all the shit you can download. GBA games run great.
So what's /hbg/s go to 3ds rom source? Finished the downgrade/cfw process so late last night I didn't feel like wading through all the shit to gind the good sites.
>>128185375

>>128185375
look in /feg/'s linkbin

nobody needs to use them, just set all the connections in sysnand to garbage.

>for the last 6 hours
Just fucking kill me already.
Did it take so retardedly long for everyone else too?
>>128185304
So there's zero risk to being banned and its safe to update anything from the eshop including games from a different region?
>>128185349
It worked for me on my brother's n3ds after a sysnand format to unlink nands.
>>128182520
yes, and set menuhax to type 2, where it will auto do it unless you press a button,
then also you can get the bootmanager thing, so it will auto load rxtools unless you press a different button to load homebrew launcher
>>128185396
So I need the .3ds version of fbi again to put fmp and the nver on my sysnand?
Alright, so I've been trying to get my O3DS XL modded all day and I've gotten to the point where I need some (most likely basic) assistance.
So far I've downgraded to 9.2 without a hitch, and then carried on my marry way and afterwards went to the gateway site and did a sysNAND backup, then put pasta and FBI on my SD card.
I was able to run pasta fine, but when I went to go and install FBI, i got an error stating something along the lines of invalid signature or some sort.
That's only half my issue, my other one being is I'm worried about this emuNAND everyone is talking about.
I went back and looked at a different guide and found this one: pastebin.com/HwDyhSiX
and it says for me to, after downgrading to 9.2, save my card content and format it. If I delete my card contents after going this far after the downgrading process, will I be at risk of errors?
TL:DR; When installing FBI I get an invalid signature error, and secondly if I delete my SD card content in order to start fresh like this guide says will I be risking anything?
http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
Tried to follow this guide. On my EmuNAND, I have TinyFormat installed, but not FBI. Before I created my EmuNAND, I know I installed FBI, and I used Pasta to check it was there. Where did I go wrong to have FBI disappear? I want to know what retarded mistake I made, so that I don't make it again.
Is rxtools region free? Can I install/play EUR games on my 10.3-U emuNAND?
>>128185332
if ive already tinyformatted my emunand can i tinyformat my sysnand and connect my nnid to to emunand?
on a n3ds
>>128185574
did you clear the cookies, clear history and initialize save data?
>>128185598
Well I unlinked the nands from the retard guide and did the folder trick and it is unlinked so your saying just try it in sys and then in emu9 or format sys?
minipasta just blackscreens now. FBI also disappeared from the home screen. Any ideas?
Can someone give me a good guide to running GBA games in emuNAND?
O3DS, RxTools 3.0 nightly. I heard it isn't necessary to install a patched AGB_FIRM cia at all.
So, I did this stuff of downgrade,emunand,rxtools and everything works fine, but I did all of that on my O3DS in a small SD card (8GB). I bought a new one of 32GB, how do I transfer the data from one to another? Just copy and paste?
>>128185501

This should be in the OP by now.

Same here, dude. I just gave up on getting coldboot.
