Here is how to fix the 3D slider brick using ntrboot without doing a full ctrtransfer:
A second working 3DS is needed, or you can have someone dump the file in step 1-3 from their console and share it. Would this file be allowed to post here? If so it could be added to the instructions. Should be fine, right? It's just system config savedata.

Instructions
  1. Load GodMode9 on the working console from ntrboot/B9S
  2. From the root GodMode9 menu, navigate to [1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND -> data -> {a folder with random numbers} -> sysdata -> 00010017
  3. Select 00000000, then select Copy to 0:/gm9/out
  4. Press START+R to power off the 3DS and copy this file to the SD card in the bricked console
  5. Load GodMode9 on the bricked console
  6. Navigate to [0: ] SDCARD and find the file you copied
  7. Press Y on the file to copy it
  8. Back out until you are back at the main screen and again navigate to [1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND -> data -> {a folder with random numbers} -> sysdata -> 00010017
  9. Press Y again to paste and unlock writing according to the onscreen instructions, relock when done
  10. Press A on the file you just copied and select Calculate CMAC
  11. Press START to reboot
  12. Go in System Settings and change anything that's wrong such as birthday, nickname etc. since the settings will be cloned from the working console.
  13. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thanks to @TurdPooCharger for testing the steps to make sure they work and for pointing out that you also need to fix the CMAC.

According to your steps, all of them are cloned except WiFi. Isn't WiFi information stored in this file

hi,
I just found my old 2ds stuck in 2017 on 3d calibration and today I decided to buy the cubic ninja card to unlock it, hoping that this works, once unlocked how can I get the screen back to normal and no more stretched? then I read that by updating the console you can run into another brick regarding the black screen, so how do I update the console? I would like to point out that I don't have the nand backup and that I lost the sd card with the modification so do I have to start again with another sd? Im sorry for the english and I wait your reply. Thank you

    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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    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

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
