Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

how do I enable extended memory mode for a 3ds homebrew software as an attempt to get it to run a little better on OLD 3ds systems?

What exactly are you asking..? What homebrew application are you referring to? Do you have the code? Do you have any idea how to compile it?

If enabling extended memory mode would make the program "run a little better", then the person who wrote the application you're thinking of probably would have written it that way in the first place. There's no reason to expect that making that change will immediately enable a performance improvement.

they did NOT set it to extended memory mode and I'm going to try to do it myself (im probably going to fail) but its just something to help me learn what I'm doing

Is It possible to enable widescreen on my acekard 2i on my new 3ds or Is It Better to enable it on Twilight menù ?

Does Twilight menù has ap patches already enabled or do i have to enable them myself ?
Or is It better to enable ap patches by using cheats ?

You answered none of my questions, so yes, good luck with that.

How were you planning to enable widescreen without TWiLight Menu..?

That game runs in an emulator in 3DS mode. DS games run in DS mode. Similarlly, mGBA runs GBA games in 3DS mode. Virtual console GBA injections (and open_agb_firm) run in GBA mode.

Wireless streaming with NTR CFW is only available in 3DS mode. Period. The only way to stream in DS mode on a 3DS is if you get a hardware capture card. These are expensive and I'm not sure they're at all easy to find anymore.

(Streaming from a DS Lite, however, is relatively simple and inexpensive solutions are available.)


That is not possible. You can install a forwarder that will put the DS game on your Home menu, but it will still run in DS mode when you start it.

There is no way to magically make the system "think" a DS game is a 3DS game.

Not really..? I'm not sure why you would say that. (Also boot9.bin is absolutely not system-specific.)

If the unit is completely dead, you will have to bruteforce the encryption key. In order to do this, you will either need a Mii QR code generated on the unit, or you will have to run homebrew on a second unit that has the first unit fully registered (with Mii, not just "provisionally registered") in its Friend list.

If you have neither of those things and the unit is completely dead, then there's pretty much no hope of decrypting the save data.

hi ik this is soo late but like what if he has a MII QR code generated there

I'm trying to help my friend get PKSM running on his n3DS, but he is met with the following error:

Error during startup: 0xD8E06406
Description: nsInit failed.

PKSM version: v10.2.2-2993bc6c

After two charges of my new 3ds(non XL) with a new battery bought from ifixit when It fully charges It reaches 100% , but when i turn it on It starts from 92% instead of 100% , what did i do wrong ?
I even did the battery calibration Just like the instruction that came with the battery said.

There is no coulomb counter or energy meter which could be calibrated in 3DS consoles -- at least as far as I know. The percentage is probably derived from the voltage. An aftermarket battery with sligthly different chemistry will have a slightly different discharge curve resulting in inaccurate values.

If the battery lasts an appropriate time (and does not cause red blinking warning for two hours before lower cutoff voltage) there is not much to worry about

Good luck and have fun!

Which version is that? CIA file or 3DS file?

do you have the latest boot.firm and boot.3dsx for luma?

It does a Red blinking light when It reaches a round 20-22 % battery though.

I hope it's okay to ask questions about Azahar here too. What is "safe" to do "online" with Azahar? Can I go and download game title updates? It's been a while since I dumped stuff with GM9 and I know how to created unencrypted game files but I don't remember how to grab the updates

Also I've read that you shouldn't go online with your 3DS and Azahar at the same time, does that include just being in the Home Menu? If so I might be screwed already...

 

[Kwyjor]

What is "safe" to do "online" with Azahar?

What exactly do you think is going to happen..? All online services are shut down at this point aside from Pokemon Bank and re-downloading previously purchased content (and updates) from the eShop.

Can I go and download game title updates?

I'm sure you can get updates from elsewhere if you're worried about that.

The chance of getting detected is virtually nonexistent at this point, I wouldn’t worry.

Hmm yeah I guess, thanks for easing my fears. I'm not afraid of my new 3DS / Azahar getting banned but I worried because my Nintendo Account is attached to it, if Nintendo bans that my Switch will be affected too.

That's understandable, though I don't think they're really monitoring 3DS activity anymore so chances are good you'll fly under the radar. If you want some extra reassurance, disable the settings for sharing usage statistics. That way, your console isn't sending back any info on what you're using.

Oh right, I did that on my actual 3DS but not on Azahar, I'll do that ASAP!

Wait a second, where are these settings again?

Ah right SpotPass

 

[RookieKid]

Do you guys still keep your 3DS connected to your wi-fi network? I'm guessing that Nintendo won't be doing any more updates for the 3DS, but is there any chance of it bricking if it gets sort of a final update?

Can I use a SanDisk Ultra Plus microSDXC 128GB Memory Card to hack my New 2DS XL?

Sorry, don't know what XC means

Can I use a SanDisk Ultra Plus microSDXC 128GB Memory Card to hack my New 2DS XL?

Yes, but you must format the card to FAT32 or else it won't be recognized. https://3ds.hacks.guide/formatting-sd-(windows).html
