How do i need to write the ip? xxx.xxx.x.x1 or xxx.xxx.x.x 1

Actually you can use Win32 Disk Manager fine. You just have to add the sector 0 to your NAND image.

Get HxD Hex editor.
Run it. Go to Extras > Open Disk. Look at the 'Physical Disks' and try to find your sd card.
The correct one's contents starts with 'GATEWAY NAND - THIS IS THE DUMMY SECTOR'.
So you select the whole sector 0 and copy it with CTRL+C.

Create a new file (CTRL+N) paste that data inside it (CTRL+V) and save it (as sector0.bin or something easy to find like that).

Now go to Extras > File tools > Concatenate...
Add your sector0 file first, then add your NAND backup.
Write a file name for your modified NAND backup and hit OK.

Now you can use this new file with Win32 Disk Manager

I did this with a 4.2 3ds, no need to be on 4.5.

When I get to the Blue Screen part, it gets a black screen in the lower part, then the next time I do it it gets a white screen but it doesn´t reboot.

Just try again until it does.

The screen flashes white when it's gonna boot. If it stays white then you haven't inserted your NAND correctly.

Okay, so I can get it to boot and I have everything working, but how can I find my 3DS' IP? I've tried searching my Internet settings, but only my MAC is there. Any help?

What if it stays black

You have to set it yourself : http://en-americas-support.nintendo...-to-enter-network-ip-address-and-dns-settings

Thank you, I was trying to figure that out.

You either check your router or use something like http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_network_watcher.html

Can I dump my own 3DS carts with these and also play newer games likes Smash Bros and also play Jap games?

I only have DSTwo(and my 3DS)...


Thanks!

OK so I finally made it boot with L pressed. It seems like having the wifi switch off might prevent it from launching with L held. Wasn't able to launch with L held until I turned on the wifi switch.
So just in case anyone was unsure, pressing L is required to start the server for ctrclient to connect to. If you're getting connection errors, that's probably the problem.

C:\Dropbox\Semi-important stuff\st4rkCFW>run
ctrclient: connected to 192.168.1.124

Yay?

That means you have to try again.

Sorry, it's a bit messy and credit to Arnold0 for telling me how to do it.

Spoiler

I know I had issues installing the DevMenu so I'm writing this tutorial to show a pretty painless way of installing it.

1. Launch the GW3DS exploit so you're at the GW3DS menu. You want to dump your NAND to the SD card.

2. Backup your NAND.bin file to your PC.

3. Now you'll want to boot into the GW3DS menu again and select "Format emuNAND".

4. Once that's done go to your PC and open the NAND.bin you extracted earlier in HxD. Now here's where things get tricky. You want to copy lines going from offset 00000000 all the way to and including line 000001F0.

5. Once copied go to the beginning of the code. (To the right of where it says 00000000 under offsets.) And click Copy Insert. Once you've done that go ahead and save the NAND.bin file.

6. Almost done. Next put your SD card that you formatted emuNAND on and open up the emuNAND tool made by n1ghty. Click the option to insert emuNAND and insert the NAND.bin file you modified.

7. Now you're going to want to download the files off of GovanifY's website. Throw the files in the 3DS_Stuff folder into the root of your SD card. Extract the rest of it to your Desktop or wherever.

8. Next up you're going to want to get your DS flashcart's microSD card ready, you'll just want to throw thisfile onto it.

Alright so you think you're ready to install the DevMenu? Hope you're ready to reset your 3DS about 50 times.

1. Boot up your DS flashcart and run the NDS file you downloaded. You want to install the Homebrew Rop Loader 4X, (Not the MSETBOSS one. The other one.) Once that's done go ahead and exit to the 3DS main menu.

2. Make sure you have your SD card that you formatted emuNANDon and injected the NAND.bin in the 3DS and go to Settings->Profile->Nintendo DS Profile. Hold L when pressing Nintendo DS Profile.

3. Now your top screen should be blue, and the bottom screen should flash white for a second. If it didn't flash white then you're going to have to restart your 3DS. Keep doing step 2 until it flashes white and your 3DS reboots. (It won't give you an error.)

4. Perfect. Now that your 3DS rebooted and you're in the 3DS' main menu go to your computer. Those files you downloaded from GovanifY's website are going to come in handy. Open run.bat in Notepad and replace "IPTOMODIFY" with your 3DS' IP address. Save run.bat.

5. Now run the run.bat file. If it says it can't connect, keep trying. Eventually it should send a CIA Install command. Congrats. If it doesn't then you'll want to reboot the 3DS, and try again from step 2. (You don't have to keep editing the run.bat file. Once is enough.)

6. If it worked, turn off the 3DS. Turn it back on and do the Settings->Profile->Nintendo DS Profile exploit again except don't hold L. It make take you a few tries like it did before until the 3DS actually reboots into the menu.

7. You should see a gift box on your 3DS' main screen. If not then you might need to download something from the eShop. Which requires you to be on the latest emuNAND, connect to the eShop, download a demo, and then reinjecting your modified NAND.bin file into the SD card. (I had a backup of my SD card with demos from the eShop so I just copied that over to the SD card.) Congrats.

Hey Thanks devin. I finally got it to flash blue and white, but my 3ds main menu is frozen. It's playing the sounds, but I can't move anything. Is this normal?

When i run the batch, it says
\3DS_CFW>pause press any key to continue...
