Best you can do with 2GB is Pasta CFW with a game or 2 depended on game size. I am not sure if EMUNAND would be sufficient for 2GB. 2GB is just too small so I wouldn't recommend go past section 1 (Pasta CFW through BrowserHax) in this guide.

Sorry i realize that the default microsd has 4 Gb... Is it possibile to store nand backup and have emunand? And at least a cia/3ds games?

Or the best is buy directly a new microSDXC 64gb ?^^

Make your nand backup without emunand or cia files installed, once backed up copy the nand.bin to your pc and then reinstall emunand

Thanks a lot [emoji4]

And what about this:

Hello guys,
few questions before try this tutorial (N3DS V9.0 YAY ):

1) I think that i'll buy a new microsd with 64Gb...is it a problem if is a microSDXC type? it seems very fast.. so i expect fast loading time but i'm not an expert
2) I think that i'll go with pasta+rxtool... but what are the differences of features with cake? it have less features maybe?

i read about:

Thanks ^^

I can't get pastaCFW to load, it's just a black screen. I tried waiting in case it takes a while but it's been 10 mins.

Try this one. https://gbatemp.net/threads/need-hax-2-x-pasta-loader.400752/#post-5756850

Perhaps Hax 2.5 doesn't support old Pasta boot.

Here is my post helping other member to install themehax: https://gbatemp.net/threads/doubt-themehax-o3ds-sysnand-9-4.400788/#post-5757610 . (Just when straight to the themehax download and install step).

@tivu100 @VerseHell

Thanks guys.... Unfortunately I tried the offline version(1.2) with no success:
When I try to boot pressing L button, I only see random pixel on top screen and yellow screen at the bottom...... And i get stuck on it.. I tried sever times but with the same result. I don't understand why because I spend a lot of hours on it

(If can help.. I'm on new 3ds xl 9.0.0-20E

Man. Just read my post. I detailed that you need to delete the old themehax installer folder. Overwriting/merging folders won't work because there are left-over files from offline installer and that messes up the new installer folder. Also I linked 1.3 themehax which from my experience has better boot rate. Also I also detailed how to update themehax to Hax 2.5.

Sometimes small detail is all what it's needed to fix thing up. Why wouldn't people just read?

This guide is awesome and i am very grateful for it

But i would love to know if i can skip the step of installing Pasta CFW and just use rxTools instead, for the installing of fbi etc..

So just have rxTools instead of having Pasta as well

Really quick bit of help needed - please - guys

This is my setup....

I have a N3DS (9.0 sysNAND), i have menuhax 2.0 using CTR manager auto booting the 10/02 rxTools, i also have HBL by pressing a button on red screen during boot and can also access HBL via webhax and MSET in sysNAND

I am very happy with my setup, all is well, probably only 2 in 10 failed boots

What i am wanting to achieve is this..... Following this great guide by @VerseHell was how i originally setup my system, using pasta first and FBI from HBL to install DEVMENU in Pasta, then setting up rxTools and seperating the nands to make sure i have a cia installer in my rx emunand

I would like to know if i can skip the Pasta step of the guide ??? I have read that rxTools has its own 'devmode' and also 'rx sysnand mode', so at the begining when setting up i would like to use just RX and not Pasta, however do not know which option i am to use to install the FBI version within HBL

Should i be using the rxmode in sysnand mode ?? or should i be using devmode ??

I asked Versehell and he said use devmode (he said he hadn't tested it himself), but when i enter advanced and select devmode the machine just freezes

Again, all i would want to install is Devmenu and CN using the HBL version of fbi installer, but into RX

Hope i have explained myself ok and make sense, bottom line is i am trying to skip a step and not use Pasta but only rxTools

Thanks in advance for any advice

Hey guys,

My girlfriend recently bought a 3DS, and I bought a Gateway for her so she could play all her games without carrying them around. Didn't realize I needed OOT/CN, but had enough time to order it, so I do have it.

Didn't realize I needed a save dongle/O3DS though, and this guide seems to tell me that I can continue without these things.

What I'm wondering is ultimately, if I follow this guide, downgrade included, in order to launch the Gateway exploit and use the OOT save to make my boot game, can I then undo *everything*?

TL;DR

My main goal here is to follow the guide, get the OOT hack to work, and then ideally, remove the emunand, reformat sysnand (to get back to 9.2 and ultimately leave me with a "new" 3DS) and start fresh with the Gateway. Can this be done?

Thanks!

Currently (I checked like last week in the rxTools) Devmode does not work on N3DS. That's why you need Pasta CFW.

If you are only looking for to use the Gateway on the exploitable N3DS, so do these modified steps (by me) taken from steps on the guide:

1. Copy the boot.3dsx downloaded from http://smealum.github.io/3ds/ onto your micro-sd card root (Also put CN.cia & Gateway's launcher.dat on the root of SD).
2. Copy the "3ds" folder from the FBI one on your micro-sd card root.
3. Dowload the PastaCFW files : http://jheberg.net/captcha/pastacfw-for-ninjhax2-90-92/ . Copy the PastaCFW folder into the "3ds" folder.
4. Copy the cia you want to install on your micro-sd card.
5. Setup Browserhax : https://gbatemp.net/threads/yellows8s-browserhax-thread.398132/
6. Launch the HBL with browserhax.
7. Choose the PastaCFW
8. Once you're back in the menu, immediatly start the HBL again
9. This time, choose FBI.
10. Install Cubic Ninja.
11. Start CUBIC NINJA, choose "Create", then "QR code", and finally "Scan QR code".
On your PC, go to the GATEWAY ULTRA 3.X\Save Games for New 3DS\Cubic\your_region folder and scan the QR code.
12. Now you can enter Gateway Menu on your exploitable N3DS.
Now that you can enter Gateway Menu, I think you already know how creating EMUNAND, unlink NANDS, how to back up... so I will leave you at this.

Gateway does use EMUNAND. may be the game installation/storage mechanism maybe different so ask in the flash car section. If you just want to start fresh (without saving anything you can just format everything.

I am confused what you have. 2 N3DS with 9.2?

Thanks for the confirmation

Could the rx mode sysnand be used, for example load rxTools then select rx mode sysnand and then webhax to HBL and use FBI from HBL to install Devmenu ? Or is this also a no go ? and Pasta is only way ?

Thanks

tivu100 · Nov 6, 2015

Yes. Boot to rxmode SysNAND -> Cubic NInja or browserhax (perfer Cubic Ninja because it has better boot rate)-> HBL -> FBI -> install Dev_menu cia

However, no update in SYSNAND rx mode.

Thank you !!

I have been asking this question on multiple threads and more than one site for the past 3 days

Finally i have the answer, thanks buddy

Hey guys, currently going through this guide. How long does PastaCFW take to install from browserhax? Screen is currently black and making me nervous.

Thanks guys!

Install themehax. Boot HBL then Past CFW using themehax. For some 3DS, browserhax just has terrible boot rate when in Pasta Mode.

So, I'm retarded and I accidentally installed FBI to NAND instead of SD. This is before I got gateway/NAND backup working.

Is there any way to remove it? I didn't see it in the delete titles menu.

EDIT: Also it doesn't show up on my home menu. A blank icon does for a second before disappearing.

Yes. There is a way to delete with FBI by searching for it's ID/title. However, you need to approach a more experienced member. I suggest you contact @Steveice10 who writes the FBI, then provide him with info regarding version of the FBI so he can help you out.
