    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    So, I've been curious but kinda not being able to google anything as of now on topic I got interest in. I know that 3DS had NFC homebrew to write NFC data on tags using reader integrated into console or NFC reader/writer that you would purchase separately. Same stuff that goes for some of...

    Homebrew How does SwapDoodle notes work?

    To be more precise - how sending/receiveing them works? So here I got that weird question, hoping that someone can explain it to me. Originally I though that SwapDoodles works similary as any message-sending service, like SMS - you send the message to someone, it gets saved on server and then...

    Hacking N3DS XL brick fixing (ideas required)

    Well I can't see checking wifi card as a good suggestion, since on N3DS XL wifi chipset is integrated into motherboard and hidden under the shielding, thus it can't be mistakenly detached(only antenna), and removing it would be unadviceable. All the ribbons I have also checked, and as they are...

    Hacking N3DS XL brick fixing (ideas required)

    Okay, I've tried a whole lot of card readers and I'm somehow unable to get any bootrom error at all. Does anyone have any idea why would that happen? I'm kinda at loss. Visually, everything is fine on the board itself. I can't see any burned details, MCU chip also looks completely fine, nothing...

    Tutorial NAND Dumping 2DS/3DS/3DS XL/N3DS/N3DS XL!

    I checked frankenSD continuity with wires, no shorts there. Also don't know about card reader - I expected at least some bootrom error, since this reader is capable to r/w MMC(also pried it open rescently - it's chipset is GL823K. Wonder if anyone can report using readers with same chipset and...

    Tutorial NAND Dumping 2DS/3DS/3DS XL/N3DS/N3DS XL!

    Well, I've redone the soldering and cleaned it up greatly, but that didn't changed much - I still can't get any blue-screen error out of that brick.

    Hacking N3DS XL brick fixing (ideas required)

    From looking at this image - http://s3.amazonaws.com/bundlr-app-production/content_images/images/large/544875bfaf18bd0002000a17/3dsDump4.jpg?1414034880 it appears that GND goes to both pins 3 and 6. Not sure why and not sure if it's also okay. I'll see what's about that. Also will be asking to...

    Hacking N3DS XL brick fixing (ideas required)

    Well, wires clearly come to their respective pins on SD. As well as they're not shorted to each other, that I also checked. GND seems to be going to 2 SD pins at once though, but I can't say if it's an issue, and person who made frankenSD for me said that he done that intentionally for "safety...

    Hacking N3DS XL brick fixing (ideas required)

    Well, not like I've been attempting all that while seriously thinking it would work. I did it back then mostly to see what would happen. But as I mentioned in previous posts - console fails to run a9lh payload for some reason, even though it's clearly trying to. Thus, your update pack is...

    If that's the thing - then no. I haven't seen any blue screens so far, not even NAND one.

    Tutorial NAND Dumping 2DS/3DS/3DS XL/N3DS/N3DS XL!

    Okay, I'll try to redo the soldering, and mayhaps use less solder this time. Also, currently I can't afford myself to buy Ankler card reader, since it would likely mean ordering it from another country. I'll keep on trying to work with whatever I have, maybe ask some friends around for what...

    Hacking N3DS XL brick fixing (ideas required)

    Well, I at least expected to have different blue screen error with card reader. And no, it's actually my first time hard modding, so I'm just going through all card readers I have avaliable to see if it'll work. Soldering I've done you can check in this post -...

    Hacking N3DS XL brick fixing (ideas required)

    I'm not quite sure still what exactly MCU brick and how I can check if what I have at hands is one. Any suggestions or information on the topic? No I'm not using any of those card readers, since none of them are avaliable in place where I live. And yes, I've been doing things in proper order...

    Tutorial NAND Dumping 2DS/3DS/3DS XL/N3DS/N3DS XL!

    I can't show adapter soldering, but I'm pretty sure it's good since it was made by person I know who's more advanced in soldering than me. Adapter is glued tightly so there's also no way I'd open it up without likely breaking the thing. Here's the photos of my soldering on N3DS. And I can expect...
