Hello there.
I'm a complete noob, so I think this is the most appropriate topic to post in
First, I would like to thank Smealum and Yellows8 for their haxes. You guys rock.
Now, I would like to ask a question. Actually, it's more like a set of questions. I've read lots of topics, but it is still difficult for me to understand "everything" in this jungle. Still, I think I managed to understand some things by myself, I'll do my best and try not to be annoying.
I have a New 3DS ("N3DS") with the 9.0.0-20 firmware.
I have installed the HomeMenuHax (with Browserhax). So now I have access to the Homebrew launcher. Everything seems to run okay, but I've read that the 9.0 firmware has access to something more efficient.
1) I assume this is the format known as "cia". Is this assumption correct?
2) If so, in order to run this "most efficient format", I need to install a "CFW", aka custom firmware. Right?
3) If so,
I am currently low on budget, is there any way to install a CFW on N3DS-9.0 without buying an expensive CN/OoT/Gateway/*insert-here-any-other-expensive-piece-of-hardware-you-know* ?
4) If so, would it be risky to do that (i don't want to brick my system, so any way to backup the sysnand before installing the CFW would be great) ?

The very first thing you should do as soon as you can access Gateway Menu is make a backup of your Sysnand & copy that NAND.BIN to your computer incase you ever brick your N3DS.
As for cfw to use, i'd suggest Reinand.

1) CIA are essentially ROMs. They are the only file format you have to play games if you don't have Gateway 3DS.
2) Yes, you do need to setup a CFW in order to install CIAs.
3) This is quite recent, but this came out yesterday. Maybe give it a shot?
4) If you want to be 100% guaranteed brick-proof, you could pop open the casing and dump the NAND with soldered wires before doing absoloutely anything.
Thank you for these answers,
I understand that this is a very recent breakthrough. It seems rather unstable, by the look of the answers. Maybe I should wait a little. Or ask the topic-creator for some piece of additionnal advice.
Anyway, thanks, I'll dig into that very soon.

No, the highest firmware you can have in Emunand with a N3DS is 9.5.0-23.
You can access the eshop with FreeMultiPatcher.
I assume the latest Gateway ULTRA 3.4.1 will work on latest version of O3DS?
Just wanted to make sure.
Last edited by CosmicMeteor,
Gateway 3.4.1 supports the latest firmware on EMUNAND.
For sysnand, it still needs to be up to 9.2
Right. So it's safe to update to the latest EmuNAND right?
No worries about the sysnand. Still in 4.2 with a backup in my PC
.
Dumb question, but can I custom firmware a new 3dsxl on 9.0.0.26.U without cubic ninja or gateways?
Right. So it's safe to update to the latest EmuNAND right?

Yeah, it's safe with a O3DS

Hey guys. I've got a new 3ds on reinand 9.0.0-23 (updating in devmenu won't work for me), and I can't access the homebrew launcher with cubic ninja or browserhax from the emunand. The reason I'd like to use it is so that I can transfer my saves from my old ds with savegame_manager because savedatafiler is just not working for me unfortunately.
The specific error I get in both browserhax and ninjhax is "An error has occurred. Please save your data in any software currently in use, and then restart the system." I tried using my friend's Gateway to attempt using ninjhax in Gateway mode, but booting into Gateway mode gave me the same error.
Have any of you guys experienced this problem, or do you know any way to fix it? Thanks!

The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent. It sucks because if they would just do a single thing they could probably get something done...
