Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Duo8]

Hello everyone, I am a noob with a question.

Recently bought 3dslink, arrived today, I did the setup but was alarmed when i could not get to this stage:

I need this menu to backup nand and for emunand so can someone help me find it or have I just bought a dud card? Thank you. Your help is appreciated.

Keep trying until it works.

Got a noob question:
I ordered a Gateway but currently I'm playing a game on a retail cartridge. I read that it's possible to dump retail games with a new function of Gateway Omega 2.1, so I asked myself if it would be possible to just dump the game I'm playing in order to use the dump+savegame on my Gateway. The thing is that i just rented the game and have to give it back in a couple of days and I'm afraid that someone who rents it after me, will erase my savegame before I can finish it.

So is ist possible to "dump savgames" by dumping the original retail cartridge or will the savegame just not get dumped at all so that I would have to start over again?

IIRC the savegame isn't dumped, unless it's a CARD2 game.

Dunno man, I've tried like 6 times now, I just loaded 3D Tetris so I know the card works, however, how long should it take? I wasn't aware it was a chance thing.

Since it's based on GW2.0b1 it's very buggy. Try another SD card.
Also it might brick your 3DS.

WHAT O_O I haven't read anything about the killcode being in 3.3b - are you quite sure mate?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Then back it up, show me where? Here are threads which claim the opposite:

Where are all the bricked R4i Gold Deluxe or 3DSLink users ?
R4i Deluxe/3DSLink Firmware V. 3.x release thread

The 3.3b 3DSLink is based off 2.0 which did NOT have a kill code.

Ah ok I see. Well that means I gotta finish it before I have to return it.

Thanks for the help

Based off 1.2 IIRC.
You posted a pic with 3.0 running so I thought you were using that.

So I got my Gateway this morning and set it up with the instructions found on the internet.
I wanted to try it with a game (Mario Tennis) but after I enabled Gateway Mode and put the SD Card (with Games) in the red Gateway Card my 3DS just won't recognize that there is a game on it. It just doesn't show up.

Do I have to update the Gateway in some way or do I have to activate so that I can play region free games?
I'm going crazy at the moment because I don't understand why the game won't work/show up....

Edit: ugh...nevermind....didn't know that I hab to press SELECT so that it will be recognized.

I have some retail games to get me to 4.4, is that fine to use with Gateway or should I make sure to get it to 4.5? I of course will be using emunand anyways...

I did a system transfer from one 3ds emunand to another, but my save files didn't transfer (for Phoenix Wright), how do I do this? Thanks!

This might sound obvious but did you transfer the SD card contents as well?

I may be an idiot but I only transferred the .sav files, do I need to transfer the folders as well?

You have to transfer everything. http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&r...=J5MioU6gdleNs_69ij-Cag&bvm=bv.63934634,d.dGI

Thanks, I'm going to copy everything from one sd card to the other, will this affect emunand in any way?

Nope. emuNand is stored in a separate partition on your sd card.

Nope. emuNand is stored in a separate partition on your sd card.

So could I instead delete the "Nintendo 3DS" existing folder and replace it with the one from the older SD with the saves, because if I add it on top of the other files it's an added 600mb.

You can try. I'm sorry I can't give you a more precise answer, I'm not really sure about the folder hierarchy. Just keep a backup of both SD cards and you can move stuff around till it works.
