<br /><br />Need a spot of help. I'm trying to downgrade a 10.6E 3DS XL. I'm using The Homebrew Launcher (Browser) tutorial and I'm at the Decrypt 9 stage. I'm at the stage of the tutorial that I'm already on 9.2 but now need to get back into homebrew, however I cannot get back into homebrew. When I press down and press the power button, it boots straight into the home menu, when I try and use the QR or web address to get into homebrew, the browser starts to boot, the screen changes into different colours but then the browser freezes before it boots to the home screen with the error message pictured above. Any help and advise with this will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.<br /><br />

1)Did you already deleted home data?
2)Do you have all the starter.zip?

Roms can be converted to .cias, but I don't think .cias can be converted to roms. Converting a rom to a .cia strips all of its header data (.cias use the console's own header), so I don't think there's any way to convert it back to its original format.

Thanks for the reply, I kinda thought as much. I am reading a lot of different information on installation and conversion of ds roms and cia files... Can roms be converted to cia ON the 3ds now or do we need to use a computer program? What is the newest/best method for doing this at this time?

So the purpose of this 2DS is to downgrade an O3DS XL with the Sys transfer exploit.

Now, the guide speaks of the sudokuhack injection and whatever. I don't really understand it, but can I just purchase any compatible game and then follow the guide normally, or do I actually need to do something? Since it speaks of file sizes and whatnot I'm a bit confused there.

Also does it matter which title I purchase? All the titles for EUR region are 4,99€ so can I just pick any?

Original release or "budget" re-release fine? http://amzn.to/2hIrH0F

I asked this couple pages back, and the Nintendo Selects versions work just fine. They are identical to the original, but cheaper. I used Nintendo Selects Stickerstar myself just fine today.

The file size is mentiones to encourage finding more compatible games, but no, just buy the game and follow the guide

im reading the 3ds.guide, but i dont understand this part:

prep work;

14.- Copy the contents of the starter.zip to the root of your SD card, then put the SD card back into your 3DS
15.- Copy the Decrypt9WIP folder from the Decrypt9WIP .zip to /3ds/ on your SD card

why the Step #14 say i have to put the sd card back if in the next step (15) ask me to put Decrypt9WIP folder in the SD? why put the SD in and out?
is this a typo or im reading this wrong??

If it's written like this, then it's a typo

Does the
  • Call Nintendo and tell them you no longer have access to the device that your NNID is linked to (which is the target 3DS in this case), and would like it linked to a different device (which is the source 3DS in this case)
Step actually work? Isn't it kinda suspicious that first you have NNID on your console, then an hour later you don't, and then you want it back on your console. What if you do this multiple times if I end up modding someone else's console? Wouldn't it raise some red flags at Nintendo's?

Alternatively if I just make a dummy NNID and transfer it to the other console, can I then use the Remove NNID step with Godmode9 to remove it and re-link that console to an actual NNID, or is calling Nintendo needed still in both scenarios?

And finally, if I make a dummy NNID on the target 2DS, will this 2DS be able to re-obtain the DSiWare I bought without the NNID?

Ninty has a record of which console is a NNID attached to, you can remove it from the console nad put another one, but the one removed can only be used on that console. What calling Ninty does is unlinking the NNID from the console so it works on the SOurce 3DS

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
