That s totally retard to mess with system title without having a nand backup


Agreed.

To my defense i didn't think it would matter since i could just boot up Ninjhax and fix it.

OH wait, ninjhax won't launch without browser apparently (even if CN has ninjhax save.)
I didn't know that.

Did anyone? lol

Try disabling wireless, ninjhax doesn't require Internet, maybe if it sees there is none, it won't check the browser? The only reason it would use the browser would be to connect to some server. Anyway, how'd your experiment work?

Well now that i have no browser (tecnically i have a browser it's the non functioning spider browser) it get stuck at 70 percent upon loading ninjhax. Not sure why???

And it failed. Says i have to update firmware to use the spider browser.

Oh. (try at your own risk) try deleteing your ninjhax (cut maybe it's configures for n3ds browser) and try to reinstall for spider. There is a good chance it won't be able to install again because it can't access the link in the qr code.

Yeah i'm probably screwed due to the fact spider wouldn't launch xD

Only bet is a GW card or send to a user with a GW card.

To be clear, i can boot up GW with OOT exploit without browser for sure, and be able to reinstall the browser without an internet browser? Before i drop 70 for a GW card. xD... That i won't really even use.

EDIT: will use for EMUNAND FOR MY ERROR AND TRIALS LOL

mostlikely due ninhax exploiting the browser to get more initate the later stages.

Don't feel bad OP, I install potential, NAND, brick breaking title ID's on my JP 3DS. You just got unlucky. Pretty sure someone will fix it for you.

Try to launch the gateway menu with your cn card, it may work. (You will still need the gateway itself though)

I'm just going to have to buy GW - and use OOT on sky3ds to boot it, then i can fix everything. Least it's not a brick aye? Needed Emunand anyways to avoid this type of mistakes.

So i was wanting to test if i could run OS browser on n3ds while in pastacfw.

Well that's a no.

I uninstalled n3ds browser and installed o3ds browser. Here is where i mess up, i got side tracked and forgot to install the N3ds browser back (in sysnand)

Now i can't run ninjahax to fix my error because i have no browser i guess.

I thought since i had CN saved with Ninjhax i wouldn't need the browser to relaunch Ninjhax. Was wrong indeed.

WTF am i to do (tears)
It seems like your best bet is to have someone with a Gateway help you reinstall the browser, if you're not wanting to spend the money on it yourself. I don't know enough about n3DS to be able to know how to access a CIA installer without a Gateway card and without Ninjhax, but if you can find info on that, you could do it that way (should a way exist).

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I wish I could be more helpful.

I seriously don't understand how people think they can piss around with their NAND but don't consider backing up first... If they knew what they were doing, surely they would've known how to backup a NAND and why a backup should be done.

Your own stupidity has gotten the best of you. Now you should've learnt the hard way that YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP.

Sorry that there's nothing that can help you...

My idea was to downgrade Home Menu to something from 7.x (a Home Menu from before n3DS existed) then try using o3DS browser (one could just leave the n3DS browser installed, I don't think it would matter since old Home Menu would ignore it)

I think what is happening is that 8.x and newer Home Menu is coded to detect when it's on a n3DS and expects a certain title id for the browser. When it doesn't find it, it shows you the usual system update message.

Of coarse I would have tried it in emunand first. It's just crazy to do it on sysnand unless I had a NAND mod. Unfortunately I do not have a n3DS so I can't test this idea. ;)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
