I have a 3DS on firmware 9.2.0-20E and i wonder what i can do with it. I've read you can downgrade it to 4.X and stuff but is that enough to play backups or do you need a flashcart as well?
It's an original Aqua Blue modelIt's New 3ds or Original 3ds?
If its new, go to this thread
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-install-a-cfw-on-a-9-0-9-2-n3ds-without-cn-oot.398394/
If its Original search for rxTools here on the forum.
You can install rxTools to play CIA backups. The poster above me linked to the official rxTools thread, but here's a tutorial on installing it (as well as other things you may want to do): https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/I have a 3DS on firmware 9.2.0-20E and i wonder what i can do with it.

Sure, you can use it to autoboot rxToolsI've already installed the menuhax for homebew, will this help?
So in which step should i start? Is it "Users with only Cubic Ninja or Sky3DS loaded with a Cubic Ninja ROM:"?Sure, you can use it to autoboot rxTools
Start at the top and work your way down - the optional stuff is at the bottom. Skip parts that don't apply to you.So in which step should i start? Is it "Users with only Cubic Ninja or Sky3DS loaded with a Cubic Ninja ROM:"?
So i did the steps, got to "Installation Data Suite" and it said everything was successful but i don't think it did the "it should then autoboot into rxMode in Emunand." part. It just went to the normal 3ds boot screen.Start at the top and work your way down - the optional stuff is at the bottom. Skip parts that don't apply to you.
It probably did boot emuNAND, assuming you have emuNAND set up. Otherwise it booted sysNAND (but with signature checks patched)So i did the steps, got to "Installation Data Suite" and it said everything was successful but i don't think it did the "it should then autoboot into rxMode in Emunand." part.

Can i open this with the homebrew launcher?
I understood almost none of that. What should be my next move?It probably did boot emuNAND, assuming you have emuNAND set up. Otherwise it booted sysNAND (but with signature checks patched)
Unless you change something in emuNAND (change the theme, make folders that spell "EMU", change the size of the icons...) it will look exactly like your sysNAND since it is a copy.
And yes, a .3dsx launcher is included in the download.
Continue with step 4 and follow the guide until you see "You are now ready to install CIAs! Read further to learn about RxTools' other features!"I understood almost none of that. What should be my next move?
