I'm sure this has been asked already but i lack the searching skills to find it (and I've tried) is there a way to play DS games on my O3DS XL without a flashcart.
I'm still confused about what the easiest method to do this is:
I have one O3DS and one N3DSXL. I just downgraded both to 9.2. My goal is to be able to play 3DS roms (online if possible). I do not own any flash card or exploit games. What is the easiest, best way to put cfw on both systems. Is there a tutorial or method that would apply to both? I found several tutorials but in the comments section people have various opinions about which entry point or cfw is best. Thank you.

I have both a Gateway and a SuperCard DS One, I want to play DS games on my 3DS, is it possible with these? I've heard of people using R4, which I do have one, but was hoping to be able to do it with what I have here setup already.
Not necessarily! If you decide not to take the Gateway route, you can install the games as .CIA files. If you decide to do that though, you'll want a large microSD for your 3DS, and you'll want to be careful of things that uninstall all of your cias (and delete their save file in the process), such as entering data management in sysnand if you have linked nands.
Personally, I do recommend Gateway if you can afford it. Most people consider it easier to setup and use, although it is definitely not your only option for CFW or playing game backups.

If I'm not mistaken, you can use either of those cards (Gateway's blue card for sure), but you'll need to install either the bluecardfix.cia or flashcardtimewarp.cia to enable them. You'll want to install whichever you choose to your sysnand.
If you have a gateway, it should come with the bluecard, which is just a rebranded r4, you would need to install the bluecard fix to the sysnand to use it but that should do the job for you.
i have a new 3ds and an old 3ds. Both have browserhax installed but for some reason i can only get in from my old 3ds. i reinstalled it but it still doesnt work.
Current version:
New 3ds: 10.3.0-28 U
Old 9.6.0-24 U
Current version:
New 3ds: 10.3.0-28 U

1. An original, true R4? No, I believe those were blocked on release of the 3DS. You'll need a DS flashcart that was not immediately blocked, and then install either bluecardfix or flashcardtimewarp (both are .CIA files) to unblock it once again. I believe there is a list of cards that work with the CIAs listed above.
2. If you mean through a 3DS-to-PC cable, then no, there is no USB support. Although you can put the microSD card in a USB reader and use that. As far as FTP goes, I'm fairly certain there's an FTP option (potentially through homebrew) but I'm not familiar with it.

Quick Question guys: I have 2 N3DS, one on 9.1 (which it came with) and then the other with 9.2 (Downgraded from 10.3) Both have Menuhax, and have the same files in the SD card (like the 3ds folder). On the 9.1 I can access the eshop using that little app that comes with the starter kit, and i can also go and get old eshop titles, but on the 9.2 system it doesnt work, it always tells me to update, and Hans doesnt do anything either. I can use gateway, install Cias and ect with both, i just cant access the eshop with the downgraded version, any ideas? Thanks
srr for the noob question: what is the fastest way to access microSD's data on N3DS/XL without removing the backplate?
Can I use MicroSD Management?
Can I use MicroSD Management?
hmm thanks for the quick answer.
Removing the backplate is such a pain
Wut exactly is the transferring speed then? And for 9.5 emunand, can i use this?
You don't actually need that. for N3DS, it homemenu shortcut of what you were saying earlier.hmm thanks for the quick answer.

Comparing transfer speed
kid icarus uprising: 3.5 gb
by MicroSD Management: 2.5 hours
by SD card: less then 5 minutes
remember you don't have to screw in the back plate each time.
Here's my noob question:
N3DS using menuhax > ctrbootmanager > reinanand or homebrew launcher
When I'm in ctrbootmanager, am I in emunand yet? Or only when I enter ReiNAND? I'm trying to understand that if I run tools from HBL (such as FBI or Pasta) which NAND they will change. Thanks!

Anyone know why 3DS files and CIA files have such large differences in size blocks? Are 3DS stuck to preset size blocks?
You're not in emuNAND until you launch ReiNAND.
3DS roms are set to preset block sizes (524MB, 1048MB, 2097MB, etc...). When a game is converted to a cia, all of the unused data is stripped and you're left with only the actual game data, which makes a huge difference in file size.
