Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[KleinesSinchen]

Yes, that does ring a bell. I can't recall the specific details, but I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea. There have definitely been some very heated threads about it in the past.

If it was that easy to cleanly remove CFW, don't you think that would be in the Guide?

Shouldn't be much of a difference between Un-Install Hax script and running the official updater¹ (which probably considers FIRM0 and FIRM1 as outdated and/or corrupted while B9S is installed) without protection.
We have that one: https://gbatemp.net/threads/where-exactly-did-my-homebrew-go.613318/ → ()
And another one… by the same person: https://gbatemp.net/threads/hey-so-im-dumb.618907/ →()

Count me as well: I also tested it. (Yes, big "" for me as well for torturing my poor testing O3DSXL): The updater does "repair" the FIRM partitions when updating without CFW protection.

When The Guide warns of unintended consequences, they probably mean early/surprising overwriting of B9S, before all tests are finished. The main test is already passed at this point – leaves only non-fatal consequences (crashing System Settings, missing keyboard…)

Uninstall CFW page is very long, and even includes Format System Memory. They make double and triple sure there is no non-legitimate content left before actually running the uninstall script. And this is surely the way to go for anybody dead set on removing CFW.
The instructions are well-tested and deviating from it is an unneeded risk.

Again: Normally I don't react on those question anymore (I wasted countless hours, but stopped caring at some point). Usually it is one of those two:

• "Want to sell the console!" (and conceal previous modding – yeah nice and honest move)
• "[…] is not working and I want to start from scratch!" (this probably comes from Android phones, where "Back to stock and start from scratch!" seems to be standard and sensible/working procedure)

I've had enough of these discussions in the past. More often than not people aren't interested in the answer. Before the elaborate testing was included in The Guide, we had a lot of bricked or semi-bricked consoles.




_____________________
¹ Concerning the FIRM partitions. Custom content such as Luma3DS boot.firm on CTRNAND probably aren't removed (I didn't check this).
On the other side: Even having the script delete custom files, this does in no way remove evidence that a console has been hacked before.

@KleinesSinchen Thx for the explanation, the sources and verifying that its nearly the same result as running the uninstall script (without the checks in the guide).

Can GBA roms be played on a 3DS bottom screen?

Hi. I'm very new to this cfw stuff. I was wondering can two hacked 3ds'es play local two player on old classics like Turtles II nes/ Turtles in time snes etc? If not that should be made possible asap.

To the guy above my post; I believe you can using the mGBA thing, program or whatever they're called. I was playing TloZ Minish cap the other day, and pressing the Y button changed between screens and how you like the picture to be stretched.

I think it's possible. though i've never tried it myself..

So what is the question? You want to know about more display options etc. On mGBA?
Performance-wise, using VC injects gives perfect compatibility and performance on the 3ds in comparison to mGBA (which is emulation), same for Open_AGB_Firm.

Guys, what will happen if I update my 3DS firmware while having CFW installed? Is there any problem?

Your system would brick if you watch porn on it, lol just kidding, nothing would happen if you update your 3DS with CFW installed, just don't shut it down while updating.

Holy crap, it gave me an error. Saying that "An exception occurred". How do I do?

I think you're in the wrong thread.

@M4x1mumReZ wrong thread.

@M4x1mumReZ wrong thread.

Hayato213 joked about it earlier so I decided to do the same, nothing wrong with that. But I know what you're all saying.

Wrong thread for you to Harass @JuanBaNaNa in too though.

I just learned that you have to compress the 3ds files into cia files because they are too damn big.

Games over 4GB need to be compressed or something yep. It's not a whole lot thankfully.

Yeah. You have to compress them on the computer and then copy them to the SD card.
