I wasted the entire day yesterday and most of today reading tutorials and downloading stuff and I tried a bunch of things and none of them worked, and now I realize that none would've worked in the first place since I had 9.9
Don't worry. It's part of the learning process. If anything you're wiser now aren't you? That's gotta count for something.

Yeah it definitely does count for something, just still infuriating to say the least.

Do you know if there's any programs that do work with 9.9?

I actually already had homebrew before I found out about Gateway and Pasta and the like. I was really trying to run ROMs on my 3ds, which I needed to use the other programs to do.
....yeaaaa....

That ain't gonna happen for a long while

Any estimate how long? Like based on how long it took to release things in the past?
Well, expoits are usually dependant on the team working on it. I'm not even 100% sure if anyone's even looking for exploits for firmwares of 9.3 and above. If anything, I suggest you sell your 3DS and find one that's exploitable. Atleast it's quantifiable and the results are tangible.

Well I'll consider it I suppose, but for now I guess I'll just wait

Don't spend too long waiting for a kernel exploit, it may not ever happen, there is people waiting thinking that it may be released "next month", but month after month is the same as the last one.

People waited years to have an exploit, from 4.5 to 9.2 is a huge gap so you are in for a couple of years from now if EVER happens.

Yeah I realize I'll probably be waiting for awhile, but I really don't have an alternative rather than buy another 3ds

I have a question.
Im on a new3ds with SysFW 9.0 and working homemenuhax.
I want to use a CFW to be able to play games that requires firmwares like 9.4 or so. (above 9.0)

I've read anything about emunand tickets and so on, but i dont have a plan how to do this.

it would be great if someone can explain it properly. The most thread are for Original 3ds...

did you try to read this?

https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-install-a-cfw-on-a-9-0-9-2-n3ds-without-cn-oot.398394/

It will help you on knowing how to set up a CFW with a N3DS.
Emunand is created using Gateway's launcher and with a N3DS it can only be updated up to 9.5 (it needs to be updated manually which means getting 9.5 firmware files online in CIA format and installing them to emunand with a CIA installer for example).

@lemanuel I don't know if you saw what I posted earlier, but basically I realized I'm on 9.9 and not 9.0 firmware which is why what I was doing wasn't working, and I was wondering if you knew any possible way for me to downgrade the system or to get gateway working on it. Or even if there was another thing that would work on it

I saw it but I thought someone had already given the answer.
With a firmware above 9.2 (such as yours in 9.9), you can't do anything other than playing homebrews or use a Sky3DS to play roms (much more limited of course).
You can't install CIAs and you can't downgrade.

There's only two ways to downgrade:
a) software downgrade (9.2 or below)
b) with a backup of the NAND while it had exploitable firmware and a hardmod

Both of those options can't be used in your case.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
