Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Everything was working perfect. Now when I boot up it takes me directly to Luma3ds. When I press start to continue on it takes me to another screen saying 'An error has occurred: Error writing the configuration file, press any button to shutdown.

is your sd write protected?

Is the small switch on the side of the sd on lock mode?

Does a new 3ds xl upper lcd screen fit into the old 3ds xl?

Its a micro sd

I'm going to have to start from scratch now anyway. Arsehole here just went and accidentally wiped the SD card.

You just need the arm9loaderhax.bin file on your SD card root.

I have formatted my 3DS but I've noticed that it still brings up the luma3ds at the beginning. If I go through the process from the beginning again will it effect it badly?

Thanks for your help. I managed to follow the tutorial all the way through.

What do I do now with getting 3DS games on it? I can download .3ds files, do these need to be converted to cia files and if so how do I do that?

Thanks again.

you download .cia files and install via fbi
you can dump/download .3ds and then convert to .cia but thats time consuming
you should install freeshop https://freeshop.pw/

How can you remove an emunand and it's data on the sd card?

Use EmuNAND9 to format the card to remove the emuNAND then delete the folder inside of the Nintendo 3DS folder that belonged to the emuNAND.

How do I know which one belonged to the emuNAND?

In the past, the emuNAND folder was almost always the bigger folder in terms of GB (you can look that up if you go to the folder's properties). It depends on what you have installed on that emuNAND and what you have installed on your sysNAND. What you could do is move one of the folders out of your Nintendo 3DS folder and boot into your emuNAND. If it creates new Home Menu data or says that it's creating new data on your SD card when you see the Home Menu, then you'll know that the folder that you removed belonged to your emuNAND. Then you'll also want to delete the folder it just made too. If it doesn't work with one folder, move that folder back and then move another folder off of your card.

small note, EmuNAND9 is deprecated in favor of GodMode9, which can format cards and pick cluster size.

That is very true, however, I've been using EmuNAND9 to format my cards as I've yet to look into GodMode9's new features.

When I tried using GodMode9 before, it never worked, so I prefer EmuNAND9.

What is the current DNS settings to use to block updates?

Hi, so right now I have menuhax and rxtools and I'm planning on changing to a9lh. I found a good tutorial that will help me migrate everything I have now to it...so everything seems simple enough. My question is this, currently I have two sd cards, the one that came with my 3ds that has some games on it from before I hacked my 3DS, and the one I use for my menuhax-emunand hack. I´ve always just switched SD cards when I want to play those games on my old SD card, will I still be able to do that on a9lh? Or will it only work with SD card I use to hack it?

 

[Albagubrath]

I just want to thank everyone for all the help they have given me. Everything is now all up and running.

I do have one last question though , what is the highest micro sd card you can use in a new 3ds xl and can you use an micro sd xc? Can I use a 128gb? I just want to maximize how many games I can get on it.

Thanks again.

Is there any homebrew that will patch in a SNES rom and then play it with the N3DS emulator?
Is there anything stopping us from doing that if that doesn't exist?

No. There are emulators you can use from homebrew though. Eg BlargSNES. Yes there is something stopping you, you can't run Nintendo's SNES emulator on an old 3DS....
