franken firmware is a fw that has some part in different version.What does it mean when you refer to "franken firmware?" Is that a CFW?
I believe if the games check NFIRM version, that game won't load, since you can't update NFIRM or you will lose arm9 exploit.Is franken firmware necessarily as good as Luma3DS then? Or not really?
Thanks nechigawara. I guess I'm better off switching to Luma3DS as an upgrade from rxTools.I believe if the games check NFIRM version, that game won't load, since you can't update NFIRM or you will lose arm9 exploit.
It can cause a lot of different problems and it heavily suggested to fix asapIs franken firmware necessarily as good as Luma3DS then? Or not really?
@gnmmarechal once said that the controlable franken firmware is safe.It can cause a lot of different problems and it heavily suggested to fix asap
Do you want to keep using menuhax (easy way, but with a possibilty to lose your hack) or A9LH (hard way but mostly safe from remove)?Is there any specific tutorial which users with the upgrade from older CFW like rxTools to Luma3DS?
I like the sound of the A9LH route. Can you point me to it?@gnmmarechal once said that the controlable franken firmware is safe.
But, since the NFIRM check is out, I don't think we should keep using it anymore.

I hear hit n' miss results and just wouldn't suggest sitting on anything broken for too long.@gnmmarechal once said that the controlable franken firmware is safe.

You're referring to franken firmware, right?I hear hit n' miss results and just wouldn't suggest sitting on anything broken for too long.

There is 2 things you need to know right now, of course, about 3DS hacking.
The choices you have now is changing from menuhax (exploit) + rxtools (CFW) by Installing Arm9loaderhax (A9LH) Exploit with Luma3DS CFW. Can be done by Boot to SysNAND, change your theme (normal theme with other color is fine), then following this guide: http://3ds.guide/. This setting is mostly safe from removed by Nintendo. The problem is, this setting require user to hack into 3DS System files. So it has a small risk of brick. But, if you're understand and following every step of the guide I gave you correctly. Even though you bricked, it can still be fix by hardmod. The guide will ask you to later merge emuNAND back to sysNAND.
- 3DS exploit: This is a way allow to run somethings that normally can't run such as homebrew, etc. Example of 3DS exploit are menuhax, arm9loaderhax, fasthax, etc.
- 3DS CFW: This is what you want to allow your 3DS to add more function to FW, such as out of region cart load, pirating, ETC. This one need 3DS exploit to be able to run. Example of CFW is Luma3DS. ReiNAND, Corbenik.
You better do this now since your FW is mostly perfect for this. 11.3 right now is hopeless, even hardmoding excpet you have 9.2 NAND backup.
Thanks for the heads up.That I am.
ฺBoth of them are hackable without the need of other tools.I have two 3DSes: an N3DS XL and a O3DS XL. My N3DS XL with a SysNand firmware at 9.2 that runs on ReiNand. On the other hand, my O3DS XL is at SysNand firmware 8.XX and runs on rxTools.
Must I need to be on a certain SysNand firmware in order to begin my upgrade to Luma3DS?
I guess I'll read on this guide first then: https://3ds.guide/ฺBoth of them are hackable without the need of other tools.
So it can bypass with a bit of effort then.Say what you want but I had no problems with franken firmwares (if i dont update the native firm).
BTW On my setup, Pokebank 1.3 forces you to update the system/firmware (if you try to install it trough eShop) but if you installed it via .cia from "that ISO site", you can bypass it. Basically, it checks your native firm upon installing, and there is obiviously another check upon executing Pokebank 1.3 (thats why I received the message: "no safe data found") but in combination with NTR I can bypass it.
Which homebrews?I'm thinking of postponing the upgrade until a patch is made for Luma3DS with the 11.3 firmware. Luma3DS appears to also have been affected running certain homebrews when updated to 11.3.
