1. Delete the entire
3ds/freeshop folder. Also check if you have the
3ds/data/freeshop old folder. Delete that too.
2. Reinstall the
freeshop.3dsx if you use Homebrew Launcher -or- reinstall the cia version. Current version is 4.1.3, found
here.
3. Make sure your
dspfirm.cdc is found in the
3ds folder. Use this if it's not there:
DSP1
