I actually have an older r4i gold. I'll use that. Thanks for the help.

One last thing, what's the first thing I should look into after I do the bootstrap 9?

You can use freeShop to download & install games, and install homebrew. You can use FBI's TitleDB feature to browse and install homebrew.

I believe this may be one of the reasons but I'm not entirely sure.

EDIT: I'm probably completely wrong.

1. You take up space on your SD card by using an emuNAND. emuNAND is also not the recommended setup anymore because you no longer take the risk of losing your custom firmware by updating your system's firmware. emuNAND, for a time, was the recommended way to go because at the time, you would leave your sysNAND at a firmware you could still hack it at while keeping your emuNAND updated for online and being able to use the eShop.
2. Some people use emuNAND for different reasons: to test modifications that might otherwise brick their sysNAND, have a different region NAND alongside their sysNAND, .etc. The list goes on. But now with Luma3DS's region emulation, a different region NAND is no longer needed to play out of region games.
3. You don't need an emuNAND. I'm not sure how many people will walk you through the steps of creating one when it's no longer needed.

Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster. Literally made an account because I legit don't know what to do. 3ds running 11.4 cfw. When I tried to update a cia file by removing the sd card from my 3ds, upon putting it back in, the 3ds didn't recognize any of the titles or homebrew on the card. The card isn't damaged, I can still access the files from my pc. I have no idea what to do.

Make a backup of your files on your pc and try copying them to another card, or format the card (FAT32) and copy them back. You can also verify if there's anything wrong with your card by running it through H2testw (after freshly formatting it).

I have a 11.3 version of firmware.Can I use soundhax to open Homebrew then install FBI.cia,Lumar.cia,homebrew.cia or maybe .cia games through soundhax without CFW? or that can only be done on 11.2 and below.

on 11.3 you can set up custom firmware. you need to, to install any cias you want.

Follow https://3ds.guide. If you follow it all the way to the end you will get all the homebrew you need to get started.

When at this step from the 3DS guide (single system): installing-boot9strap-(ntrboot), should I first clean up the R4I's SD which is explained at the bottom of the page before going to "finalizing setup"? I'm not quite sure? Also, for the finalizing part: should I use my other SD card that is delivered with the 3DS and inside the system rather than the SD card from the R4I?

Thanks for helping me out

Quick question, at the end of the guide it says something about using "ntr cfw". Do I need that?

So I did all the steps in the tutorial, but when I go to launch the r4ids card (Metroid demo) the 3ds has a error and needs to be turned off. Any resolution?

This is the non rts version, but it says 3ds xl on it.

I haven't been here in a while, but I just installed soundhax for my n3ds 11.2. Is it possible at all to downgrade using soundhax without a hardmod or another 3ds?

do you mean you completed 3ds guide and now you want to use the flashcard as a flashcard again? if so then do the section in 3ds guide called
Section V - Removing ntrboot
Installing boot9strap (ntrboot) - 3DS Guide

Quick question, at the end of the guide it says something about using "ntr cfw". Do I need that?

only if you like to use cheats

Hello!
First of all, I'm new here and sorry for muy english. :/

The issue is that I've had my Old 2DS since the release of Pokemon Sun & Moon and now I'm interested on installing B9S. The fact is.. I have 11.5 and my 2DS is virgin. I read the guide and found I need another hacked console or do Hardmod. Well, both of them are out of my possibilities. So my question is if there is some other methods to hack or downgrade to an easier version that don't need so much external preparation. And if there aren't what should I do?

Sorry and thanks.
