You need win32 disk imager and you need to restore the nand.bin that you have saved on your pc
Dr.Crygor 07 is correct. You need a way to directly read / write from NAND. In Windows, a program like Win32 Disk Imager does just that. In Linux though, you can use dd. (for Linux only) Once you hook your 3DS up to the PC, find what device the SD card gets recognized as (for example /dev/sdb). Generally, you can run dmesg after plugging a device in to see what device name it got assigned. Once you're certain you got the right device, make a backup of the nand first. Something like
and once that's done, write your backed up NAND to the 3DS. Something like
nand.backup will be the current firmware on the 3DS. Replace nand.exploitable with whatever you named the original exploitable NAND you had backed up before you updated your 3DS. Just replace the directories and device names appropriately. If you run Linux and have trouble, let me know and I can provide more in depth help.
Code:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/raztaz/backups/nand.backup
Code:
dd if=/home/raztaz/backups/nand.exploitable of=/dev/sdb
1) Download win32 disk imager - http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
2) Connect sd card to computer using usb adaptor
3) Turn on 3ds, make sure the comptuter recognizes it (make sure not to format the 3ds)
4) Open win32, find nand.bin backup and click the drive that your 3ds nand mod is connected to
5) click write and wait until the process is complete
I believe that is all of the steps, someone correct me if i am wrong
Do you need to use a USB adapter? If the computer has an SD slot, can you just plug it into there? I can't really seem why it would matter, just curious. I plan on doing this myself and want to make sure I don't mess anything up. Half way there
I have a laptop with a SD slot and the computer did not recognize my 3DS. I went out and purchased a usb adapter and it worked for me. I don't know that this is true for every computer/laptop, but if the hard mod is not working, I would recommend to get the usb adapter.Do you need to use a USB adapter?

Once I find where the pad to solder the CLK signal on my brothers original 3DS, I'll let you know if it works with our MicroSD adapter. I was thinking maybe the reason you said USB adapter was in case wires were shorted...for example, if someone had crossed the CLK signal with GND, with a USB adapter, maybe it'd just fry the USB adapter versus with an SD slot in the PC, it might ruin the whole motherboard.
We have a built-in SD slot on this laptop and one on my Linux desktop. We also have a device that's USB and it accepts a bunch of different cards, SD, MMC, MicroSD, etc. If the PCs don't recognize the card, do you think this USB device would be enough? Or do you think we need one that just handles SD cards? Thanks.
Between those three at least one should work, and out of my experience the "X-in-1" type readers allways do. If it explicitly states to support MMC it should work as that's the protocol used for the 3DS. Many SD readers can handle MMC even if it's not expressly stated, though.
So do you think the adapters have something to do with the protocol? I would think that'd be software on the driver side or something. I always thought the adapters and stuff just converted the signals. I guess with USB adapters, the firmware on the adapter probably has to convert the SD protocol to a USB type protocol. I guess that makes sense. Thanks for all the information.
So it wasn't recognized on my Linux box. The USB to many cards adapter didn't work. However, on my wife's Windows laptop, it was recognized as drive F. First time I tried reading, it errored out before it read anything. Second time, I restarted Win32 Disk Imager as Administrator and it read. I'm going to do a second read just to make sure it works. I can give you the make and model of the USB one that didn't work if anyone cares. Also, when I hooked up the cable, I turned on the 3DS and I get a blue screen that says Bootrom 8046 and then some error codes. I'm guessing once I remove the cable this will go away?

One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better. -
@
Psionic Roshambo:
I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
-
@
Psionic Roshambo:
I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G. -

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
