Hacking [Tutorial] How to downgrade from 9.2 and install CFW without owning Gateway card

[endoverend]

When I hold L and enter the DS profile, I get the white flash but then the screen just stays blue.

i really dont understand some ppl, the cfw its a very bad buggy solution, if you can buy at least one game you could spend 59 dollars in a gateway and avoid all the hastle, you cannot play games that require higher firmware, most wont work, you need to patch cias for region free or the console wont boot them, to my eyes the ppl that does this are too cheap to spend a little bucks to unlock everything that you could get, its just an opinion but its like the ppl that prefer being handicaped than having surgery because of choice

Keep trying. Like it says in the tutorial, it's VERY buggy and takes many tries until you get into the emunand.

Managed to get in, and the run.bat returns "getaddrinfo: 11001, N" Is this the expected response?

No. Make you're run.bat looks like this "installcia replacewithipaddress 1 DevMenu_2x.cia"

Yeah, I got the installcia command to work properly. Now how would I get an eshop game off my SD card backup into the emuNAND?

Copy the folder Nintendo 3DS to the root of your SD card and all your eShop apps will appear on your real nand and emunand too.

Woah. So without the GW card, you've managed to get eShop games? I have an SD Backup from 9.2 with some games I want to play. How did you do it?

1. Go into the "Nintendo 3DS" folder (on your backup).
2. Go into the folder with the long string of letters and numbers.
3. Go into the NEXT folder with the long string of letters and numbers.
4. Copy all the folders inside.
5. Paste them into the second string folder on the current SD card.
6. If it asks to replace select yes.
7. Profit cash money

I do not have a Gateway card atm. If I do this, will I be able to use the gateway card later on when I buy one?

Something is wrong on your end. Typically it only takes about 10 seconds.

 

[Devrim]

Yes.

Great, thanks. I will be trying it out in a few mins

If the 3DS has FW version <9.2 and you can only play games up to FW 4.5

 

[Chaldron]

Yes.

It worked, all my games show up. However, I'm getting an SD Card removed error when trying to load SSB. Is this an issue with newer games?
