Okay, so that's going to update me to 11.0. Is there anyway to recover my previous fw, or is 11.0 my only option?
if you have a backup, you can use it to flash it back, though to have a backup you must have been on <=9.2 before or have a hardmod.

another method is the dsi-ware exploit for a native firm downgrade + memchunkhax 2.1 method

Ah, it's okay. I'm downloading the newest fw right now. So, if I want to try downgrading again, would I do the arm9 exploit, or is there nothing available at the moment?

like i said the dsi ware method

get a hacked 3ds
buy a dsi ware game with a savegame exploit
import a savegame which exploits the game
upgrade to a higher firm
swap the system via transfer
use the dsi ware exploit to downgrade native firm
use playsysupdater with memchunkhax 2 to downgrade completly
use a hardmod to downgrade the other 3ds with a backup

theres no other method than this right now

Welp, I can't downgrade anytime soon. I'll have to wait. I have 2 o3ds' and the one I tried downgrading was 9.4, as I said. My other one is on 11.0 unfortunately. Can you even get a cfw on 11?

the only thing you could do is using the arm 11 userland homebrew. No cfw.
Though you can play rom hacks(if you have the original game) with hans
and you can use the homebrew launcher

Yeah, I have all of that already. Hey, but anyway, thanks for the help. You were pretty quick to respond, so I also thank you for that.

Hello - A little stuck. I think I got wrong CIA files, the error I am getting is in the screenshot:

I have a N3DS on sysNAND 9.9E and I do believe I download the correct firmware files to downgrade: 9.2.0-20E(Full)_n3DS


What am I doing wrong?

Your CIAs might be corrupted. Or just the wrong pack.

hmm that's a pain because I tried to re-download the file a number of times and kept getting the same problem. The filename seems like its correct and have downloaded from two different sources. Can you send me a link via PM if you know which site to go to to re-download the CIA files? Too many dodgy websites riddled with viruses around there.

regards

Follow Plailect's guide, really. It's updated frequently. This isn't.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
