Because I was reading posts about it and wondered what this meant though.

"Yes. You can go into the eShop just fine.

Be careful with NNID, as you can't link it to two different systems at the same time. I have my NNID linked to my N3DS sysnand. But my O3DS emunand also has it. I can't access the eShop and such on my O3DS emunand because of it.

If you make a new NNID or w/e for your emunand, then you should be fine.

Edit: If you have a shared NNID between sysnand/emunand on the same system, you're probably okay."

If you have A9LH, then you can update to 11.4 without issue, as long as you're using a recent update of Luma3DS CFW. If you make a NAND backup before performing the system update, then restoring this backup will 'downgrade' your console back to whatever version it was before.

If you do not have A9LH, then do not update to 11.4, period.
okies then how will I know what is the most recent update on the luma3ds?? any specific number it is??

I have back ups of my Pokemon Y save file via powersaves Is there a way for me to decrypt them without using powersaves? I've lost my licence key.

If you have games that aren't present in the database, upload your dectitlekeys.bin to the titlekeys database, so others can get them too (and you will be able to download them also once the guy in charge has encrypted them).

So if i understand correctly every game you download is not unique? and you won't be banned by using the same title keys as someone else? is there anyway to be banned?

If you got banned using the same titlekey as someone else then everyone would be banned :-p It's the same titlekey per game, that is why there is able to be a database of them. And anyway it's the tickets that are used by your device, not titlekeys. Titlekeys help you make tickets that work (I don't really understand how it works in depth, but that's the lay interpretation).

Lol i thought every game was uniquely encrypted .. the whole encrypt, decrypted thing made me think it was like that ... sweet

wait what about private headers? does that affect me at all with games like mario 7 and monster hunter 4 & gen ? or is that only .3ds files and carts .. all freeshop games and games converted with cia are fine?

also that means i don't need my own enctitle.bin anymore? just back it up somewhere?

Only .3ds files need to worry about headers.

Again if you own eShop games that aren't on the database yet, please share :(

yeah i've shared them, that was easy, though i doubt they were not already on there hhaha

Guess when i use my sky3ds+ i shouldnt use online games unless i ripped them myself,, guess i'll just use it for extra storage for Offline games, 128gb in the 3ds and 128 in the sky3ds+

Oh, I have another question: If I did a system transfer from my A9LH 2ds to my stock N3DS will the games I downloaded via Freeshop be transferred?

Not sure if this is the right place, but I'm having trouble with mame 2003. I have the cia of retroarch mame 2003 core installed, the retroarch folder is on my root. I cannot figure out how to get games to run. Should they be in a rar? I made a roms folder inside the retroarch folder and extracted my mame rars in there. I cant figure out how to load them. I know it should work because i saw a youtube vid with a guy playing the simpsons arcade game. Im probably doing something stupid. Any help?

OK, I got a used one, it's on 11.4.0 37u.... they must of updated it before selling it (it was a ebay thing)

Can I do ANYTHING with it besides using my Sky3DS+ on it ? (the card works fine on it, Just hate hitting the button 20 times to find the game I want)

I wanted to get a XL one to do a CFW on.....sigh..

I saw the thread, no way to downgrade the firmware so I am stuck on it.

Or am I screwed for doing anything but a flashcard on ?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
