Would it technically be possible to use a DS flash card like R4i 3ds as an exploit for the 3ds Homebrew launcher?

It's no more risky CTR transferring to 9.2 than it is 2.1. And it's actually way easier to set up a9lh than menuhax.

A9LH:
1. CTR transfer to 2.1
2. Visit website to install a9lh

Menuhax:
1. CTR transfer to 9.2
2. Change theme
3. Visit website to open browserhax
4. Install menuhax
5. Set up boot manager and edit boot.cfg etc

I skipped the boot.cfg part all together since i have a separate boot.3dsx for hbmenu (less.3dsx as menuhax payload to luma; boot.3dsx as hbmenu.cia loader)

So... The whole problem downgrading was the partial downgrades that would give you a brick. Since in order to properly downgrade you had to uninstall the title in question before installing the previous version one. Which sysdowngrader does automatically.
This would be as standardized as simply restoring a nand backup to the sysnand, if im understanding correctly? (talking about the plailect guide)

I am currently installing A9LH on a n3DS from 11.0.0-33U. I'm going to do a DSiWare downgrade on it but my only problem is that I have no way to access the homebrew launcher. OoT3Dhax says an error has occurred every time and I can't seem to load browserhax before the browser update nag occurs. Any help is appreciated.

Didn't you say the console was on 4.x? No downgrading in that circumstance (CTR transfer cannot produce a partial downgrade).

I did, i was comparing the two methods. Whereas i did not know if 2.1 ctr transfer could give you a partial "downgrade" to 2.1 (maybe if the SD ran out of space, somehow?)

It's installed to NAND so the SD wouldn't run out of space. And there's a .sha to make sure the file isn't corrupted before you start.

Has someone ever gotten rid of the decryption of a game or save file in the SD card?

Like so you could copy it from one SD to another? If both systems have 0-key encryption this is possible but don't try it as you can brick and won't have access to the eShop.

Got it, One last thing. Have you ever installed shadownand/aurora's sd-less able a9lh? I can't find the proper installer even by googling outside of GBAtemp.

Yep I did Aurora's. The thread is: https://gbatemp.net/threads/a9lh-can-now-boot-without-sd-card.432593/

To make myself clear, I should just use these files instead when the plailect guide asks me to use safea9lhinstaller?

Or if you did any other additional steps would you kindly help me through?

I like to read a lot about 3ds hacks and security, yet always doubt whether i should give it a go or not (lack of hardmod, no one does it in my country, can't send it away)

You should probably follow Plailect's guide to the letter, THEN follow the section about updating a9lh. You have to be careful because if you do something wrong when updating you can brick.

I know that, If i do the guide i'm going to do it just like it explicitly tells me to. What i don't know is where, when or how to tackle the new a9lh sdless install. Whether i should do it in 2.1, 9.2, or when i have everything set up in 11.

Once you have everything set up and you're finished Plailect's guide.

I just installed a9lh on a o3ds, since updating failed i used my smash cart to update, but now i got 4 black squares and no app Works, what can i do?

FrozenPhoenix · Sep 28, 2016

Idk if someone here can help me with this problem since nintendo low level employees couldnt
I did a system transfer between 2 n3ds XL everything went fine until the target 3ds tried to connect to internet after the data transfering ended, it gave me a 014-0100 error and rebooted, now everytime it boots it tries to connect to internet giving me the same 014-0100 error code so i cant get to home menu, recovery mode wont work because there is nothing wrong with the firmware. Source 3ds after the initial setup since it was formatted, can connect to eshop, system transfer (has the 7 days limit) and general online.
So anybody knows how to fix this?

Does an O3DS have the RAM to emulate a N64 game?

It has the RAM but emulating it is too difficult even on n3DS.

Ok so I am doing the A9LH process now and before I launch the downgrade to 2.1.0 would like to know this: in the setting up browserhax/menuhax part of the guide it tells me to set the date and time to January 1 2000, 00:00 is that needed on 2.1.0 or is that just to get browserhax working?

EDIT: Also can the fact that I have some programs/games already installed on SysNAND (from cia files) break anything in the downgrade process or afterwards in 2.1.0?
