Hacking What to do? Want to play Pokemon Ultra Sun but must update?

Did you check the iso site? They have a spoofed version of USUM so you don't have to update.

He is using userland homebrew only, trying to play a real game cartridge.

Does CTR-httpwn still work?

or are people calling " region lock player" httpwn?

That's the thing. I've tried that and then booted up US but it still asks me to update

 

[Aletron9000]

not sure if this would work, but would running the games through HANS work? or was that discontinued?

Alright so I went to the website. Is this the specific guide I need to follow, or am I looking at the wrong one? https://3ds.guide/homebrew-launcher-(soundhax)

Odd, but before you go through the 3DSguide, make sure you read everything.

Yes that's right, and make sure to continue to the next page after doing that one etc until the end.

Do I need like a lot of storage? I heard some CFWs require a lot of storage or something. I'm using the normal MicroSD that came with the device.

No, you could store a couple of small games with the default 4GB microSD (many games are 200-500MB) but you'll want a bigger one if you want to install bigger games. For example Pokémon games are 2-4GB. 16GB is comfortable but you'll occasionally have to delete games you've finished with to install new ones. Most people would be very happy with 32GB (probably never needing to delete any games), only extreme game hoarders need 64GB+

No you don't, you can use a public friend code seed.

oh come on, none of those have been out in the past month, all of them are banned very fast, and it's a bad idea to keep hopping seeds, especially since you can't even get a public seed right now.

I mean, Ultra Sun might be the last game I buy for the 3DS. I have somewhere around 11,000 blocks on my 3DS, but still can delete stuff. Is this enough?

And is it true that upgrading won't increase my chances of being banned?

11,000 blocks is only about 1.3GB so you'll need to clear about twice as much space as you have free already, if you want to install it. How big is your SD card? If you're going to keep the cartridge you won't have to worry of course. You can fit about 2 average sized games in the space you have left.

I use the MicroSD that came with the system, which is 4 GB I believe. I do have the cartridge of Ultra Sun, and not the digital version.

It's the cartridge version and I've already been able to play it through Region Lock player. When I open the game in the region lock player (my copy of US is still in my region), it starts without asking me to update. But it won't let me go online.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

But it won't let me go online

Can you play other games online?

 

[Joeado123]

Yeah actually I have downloaded the updated Friend list (11.6 update) to go online but you can install cfw than do a sysnand backup and update to the latest firmware.

 

[firefist202]

Can you play other games online?

Yeah, using the CTR-httpwn tool. When I boot up Ultra Sun, it asks me to update my system, and later I found out I can still play by using the region lock player, but I want to go online. It won't let me go online. My problem is, if I update my system I apparently can't get homebrew back (mainly use it for genning pokemon). But I'm afraid of the risk of being banned if I download a CFW. If I were to download a CFW, would the risk of being banned be highly increased?

Also just wondering if I have enough space to install the CFW anyways.

 

[Joeado123]

No,by downloading the friend list app (it's a system app).Because the system verify the version of the friend list,the system think that i'm in 11.6 but i'm in 11.2

What do you mean? Is the "friend list app" some type of program you can add to homebrew?
