probably. but depending on the games ya got. you may lose the ability to run them on lower firmwareMy only reason for wanting to do this is for nostalgia reasons, it would be like traveling back to 2011 to use a 3DS firmware version before themes, folders, and Miiverse were added.
Is it even possible to create an emuNAND on the 3DS nowadays? I tried using EmuNAND9 but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I heard you could use GodMode9, but I coudn't find a tutorial anywhere.Not a big deal.
You can downgrade with manually installing CIA files with homebrew system updater (can downgrade as well) or CTRTransfer an old image to EmuNAND.
Also not really risky (if you make sure to *NOT* write to SysNAND). Backup SysNAND anyway before experiments. Backup SysNAND regularly is a good idea anyway.
I've downgraded to 1.0.0 and possibly more or less all major versions for experiments.
Good luck and have fun!
Can I find a guide for this anywhere, or no?GodMode9 can format SD cards to create an EmuNAND (you should choose RedNAND unless you specifically need Gateway 3DS compatibility).

I followed the steps, 3DS just boots into sysNAND as normal, now what? How do I switch to RedNAND?https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Format_an_SD_card but choose "RedNAND size (min)" when asked instead of "No EmuNAND"
Luma3DS has an option to "Autoboot EmuNAND", hold SELECT while turning it on to open configurationI followed the steps, 3DS just boots into sysNAND as normal, now what? How do I switch to RedNAND?
I don't see that option.Luma3DS has an option to "Autoboot EmuNAND", hold SELECT while turning it on to open configuration
Yeah, I don't have that option.
Make sure you set up the RedNAND/EmuNAND fully. If it didn't copy the NAND over from SysNAND you need to do that yourself in GM9. I think you can just select "nand.bin" in [S:] SYSNAND VIRTUAL and restore it to EmuNAND.I don't see that option.
I checked in [E:] EMUNAND VIRTUAL and the nand.bin file is already there.Make sure you set up the RedNAND/EmuNAND fully. If it didn't copy the NAND over from SysNAND you need to do that yourself in GM9. I think you can just select "nand.bin" in [S:] SYSNAND VIRTUAL and restore it to EmuNAND.
That is always there, it doesn't determine if the NAND was fully set up.I checked in [E:] EMUNAND VIRTUAL and the nand.bin file is already there.
I copied the nand.bin file from [S:] SYSNAND VIRTUAL to [E:] EMUNAND VIRTUAL and nothing still shows up in the Luma3DS config menu. Do I need a specific version of Luma for this to work?That is always there, it doesn't determine if the NAND was fully set up.
