Hacking Rxtools and Gba emulation

[Dotmore]

Apparently this is a thing. Atm im using a O3DSXL on SysNAND 9.0, and emuNAND 9.8 (latest) and I own a Gateway 3DS. Could someone please, step, by step, explain to me how to install RxTools, and how to set it up so that I can play GBA games.

When I got RxTools, do I need to swap it continiously in order to play my 3DS roms?
How about saves? Do I keep them?
Estore games? (Pokémon Shuffle)

I own 1 SD card.

Also, i have no intention of Downgrading sysNAND.

First download the lastest rxTools version, get your firmware.bin from the cdm_firm.py (you need python 2.7) and put both the firmware.bin and the rxtools.dat then go to the launch.rxtools.net page (with wifi off first to bookmark it).

 

[Dotmore]

What is Cdm_firm.py and Python?

Also, can Gateway EmuNAND and RXemuNAND be on the same SD?

 

[VerseHell]

cdm_firm.py is inside the tools folder, and you need python 2.7 to use it, search on google.

 

[Dotmore]

how come the official Rxtool sie http://rxtools.net/#!home doesnt mention Python?

 

[clank]

Probably Roxas didn't even remember about python. It's something that almost everyone with a bit of computer knowledge knows about, and almost always has it installed.

 

[Dotmore]

oh ok. So i download Rxtools, use that cdm file with python, i get Firmware.bin, put that on the SD card (like i said, i got Gateway EmuNAND on it too) and launch the rxtools url?

 

[VerseHell]

Yes (don't forget the rxtools.dat)

Don't forget about the file wich leave to upgrade at 9.0+ (something wich starts for slot and its extension is .bin

 

[VerseHell]

He don't need it on 9.0.

 

[rewrewrew123]

He don't need it on 9.0.

For rxtools emuNAND up to 9.0 (i remember 9 but maybe lower/upper) yes it needs. But if GW and Rxtools are the same emuNAND so ok sorry

I'm almost certain that it depends on his sysNAND version, if he has a sysNand at 9.0 or higher I don't think he'll need it.

 

[Dotmore]

Oh, i'd like to be certain on that.

Also, once its installed, what else would I have to do to play GBA roms?

 

[VerseHell]

If your nands are unlinked, then you need to install the gba games on both your emunand and sysnand in order to use it on emunand.

 

[Dotmore]

How do I know if they are linked?

My NNID is the same on both nands, but i don't go Estore stuff from EmuNAND on SysNAND (Shuffle,anime channel etc)

 

[VerseHell]

If you formated your console (after the emunand setup) or did a system trasnfer then they're unliked. If you can see the cias installed in emunan on your sysnand then they're linked.

 

[Dotmore]

Im fairly certain i didnt do a format or did a System transfer. I did install Savedatafiller on EmuNAND, and i don't have it on SysNAND

For some people, installed titles on emuNAND will not show up on sysNAND even if they are linked, preventing the gift wrapping issue. My 4.3 3DS was like this, but both my 9.2 o3DS and my 9.0 n3DS have the gift wrapping issue.

 

[Dotmore]

So it is pretty save to say my Nands are linked? So what do I do now to get Gba support?
