Do you think someone will work on a NTRBootHax firmware for DSTwo cards? As far as I know NTRCardHax worked on that DSCard with a custom firmware so I presume it will be possible to do it with sighaxed bootcode and use it to hack any existing 3DS/2DS console regarding its firmware version or even restore NAND bricked ones !

anyone have a tuto for fix bricked New3DS using sighax? i try patch first 0x100 blocks but give me BSOD yet i have no idea how to use another nanddump to fix it and i know it's now possible
Without a backup you might be SOL
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Also, have there been a lot of bricks with B9S? Or is it the Sighax installer thats giving everyone the bricks?
I've not heard of anyone particular working on ntrboothax for any flashcard. If they are, they're keeping to themselves.
A 3DS pandora battery is something we could all do with.
But to be fair, boot9strap was kept on the down-low until 24 hours before it's release.
Okay, mayhaps this question been answered before, but.
With Sighax, which can be used with hardmod no problem, will it be possible to use it for restoring NAND-bricked consoles by injecting signed firm directly into the console without having latest working SysNAND backup for bricked console? I might misunderstand concept somewhere, yet still I am quite curious if something like this would be possible. Like, having universal NAND-image for system restoring without contacting Ninty.

So just so it's clear to me. What are the benefits as an end-user with this? Or is it just more secure and newer?
Does it help with (early Pokemon SM) unbans for example?

one benefit is that in the future it might be possible to unbrick consoles by using a ds flashcart and button combo
One quick question
O3ds with rxtools, so sis/emu nand. Is it safe to format sd card, do luma with bs9? System is on 9.2

Exactly i want to know how to use sighax to sign other nand backup to my bricked new 3ds or fix my dump. My console brick after I downgraded to 2.1 and install arm9, when i restore original dump 11.3 keep a9hl he boots up with BSOD error NCSD HEADER signature hash
Sighax isn't going to let you restore a NAND backup from System A to System B any more than A9LH did. The encryption keys are different, so you'd have to decrypt the backup using System A's keys and re-encrypt them with System B, plus whatever other fixups are done by the ctrtransfer process. (You'd also need the original NCSD header from System B; otherwise, DSi mode won't work.)

That's what I was thinking.
1.- Install B9S on a bricked system with hardmod.
2.- Do ctrnand transfer with a clean img.
3.- Profit.
Successfully installed BS9, I had been holding on till updating system firmware to 1.4, should be safe to do so now right? Otherwise I'll just keep on using cttrpwn!
You could install the original Nintendo FIRM into the FIRM partitions, but I'm not sure why you'd want to do that...
Note that while this wasn't safe to do on New3DS with A9LH, it should be safe with B9S because the secret sector (sector 0x96) is restored as part of SafeB9SInstaller.
What would it name be ( I may have overwitten it with a sighax firm) Also, I just want to test something.
The original FIRM files are available on the 3DS guide as magnet links. Check the "Installing boot9strap (hardmod)" section.
Do note that if the FIRM you install doesn't match the OS installed on CTR NAND, it might not boot. You may be able to boot into recovery mode to do a system update, though this will bring you to 11.4. If you currently have B9S+11.4, installing the original 11.4 FIRM will make it impossible to reinstall B9S unless you have DSiWareHax or a hardmod.

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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -
