I have a Pokemon Omega Ruby cartridge, also i have done the downgrade of my Old 3ds XL now it's on 4.2.0 using RxTools 2.6 with Sysnand and Emunand separated.

Basically, i had inserted my cartridge into the 3ds and booted the rxmode in emunand. After that, i saw that Pokemon was needing to be updated, so i downloaded the .cia updates, sent it to the SD card and used Title Manager to install it. The installation was succesfull and, finally, i touched the pokemon's icon to start the game. Then the terrible message came... The save data was corrupted.

I didn't get it at all.

So, i can't use my rental games with RxTools? Have i really lost my save data of Pokemon?
I'm heavily confused. I need help :(

As long as you didn't delete the data the save is still fine.
All you need to do is upgrade to firmware 9.2 then downgrade MSET for RxTools if you want that entry point.
Saves made on a higher firmware don't read on lower due to new security protocols.

My sysnand is in 4.2 and emunand in 10.3. You mean i should upgrade sysnand to 9.2 ?

Yes. You no longer need 4.1-4.5 to run CFW. It works on 9.0-9.2 now also. If you update, it should fix your save issue. Even though your Emunand is updated, it still uses your sysnands keys to determine save decryption which is why you get the error.

You guys are making me have a breath of life again.

How do i upgrade from 4.2 to 9.2? I think if i just update by the settings it will update to 10.3, doesn't it?

Thank you. I'm really afraid of try it out ( afraid of end up with a 3ds bricked :[ )
But i have no choice.
I'll report my accomplishments.

I updated my old 3ds to 9.2 from 4.5 with the exact same method about a week ago and it went fine. Downgrading is what is more risky. Still, it would be a good idea to have a nand backup just in case and always check the hash of the zip you downloaded to make sure the file is intact! ALWAYS TRIPLE CHECK WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE CIA'S THAT IT'S THE RIGHT REGION AND VERSION!! It seems bricking with sysupdater is user error 99% of the time. Using Teracopy is also a good idea if you wanna be extra careful.

But which method did you use to install sysupdater on the sysnand?

The rxtool installed on my 3ds is 2.6. Why i can't use that version to install the sysupdater?

The following sentence comes from the tutorial:

"If you have a cartdridge updated, rxtools nightlies won't work on it, so you need to use rxtools 2.5.2 (and not 2.6). Instructions here : http://rxtools.net/#!howto"

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
