i read that it would be better to switch from rxtools to rei/cakes fw for 10.5 emunand. Wil it give any problems when i switch, i have some cias that are from jap/us (my n3ds is eu). and has someone a tut how to switch from rxtools to rei/cakes cfw. ty

RxTools doesn't support 10.5 emunand yet, that's why people are switching to rei/cakes for now.

ReiNand doesn't support regionfree, so your out of region CIAs will not appear from the homemenu.

To switch all you need to do is install ReiNand.

To add on to that, most people use NTR CFW for region free, which can run at the same time as any other CFW (there is a cia version of the launcher)

I need advice does anybody here know how to make gba roms into VC CIA? I'm not asking you to make one for me because I know how to make them I'm having trouble getting my pokemon ultra violet to utilize the ingame save feature it works great on my phone it utilizes the in game save feature because I patched it so I can work but for some reason whenever I convert it to CIA the 1m circuit board error pops up on my 3ds and they can't utilize the in game save feature

Tried to make a topic about this since its a bit long but got no responses and since I don't want to bump it gonna try my luck and see if someone here knows the answer to this.

A few days ago I got reiNAND autobooting with ctrbootmanager running on my N3DSXL and everything has been running smoothly.

About a day ago I put in a DS game and played it for a bit, when I was done I exited and powered down the 3DS. Later when I powered the console back on it would not automatically boot onto emunand (I tried multiple times), it would stay frozen on the ctrbootmanager screen right before it count down to 0. What is interesting was that if I chose to load HBL through ctr and then launched reinand through there it booted with no problems.

Eventually I resolved this autoboot freeze by copying over a fresh set of files from the reinand installation, this allowed autoboot to work again. However I noticed that the date and time of the console was messed up (set it to sometime in 2019).

I went to the system settings and fixed the time and day, then went into Activity Log (for the first time since installing emunand.) to see if the dates in there were also affected. Here is where I found my current problem, under the bar graph for Daily Records it shows ?????????s as the main title played all day and night since emunand was installed. Here's a picture of how it looks like:

As a side note, out of curiosity I went into sysNAND to see what the Activity Log looked like in there and it took FOREVER to open, eventually when it did, it had the same problem as the emuNAND. The NANDs are unlinked. Also don't know if it matters but I did do a system transfer to this console when I set everything up.

Also I'm aware that for some people it shows system settings or something similar instead of keeping track of the game time played. However, it's weird because it IS keeping track of the played time under the Software Library and because I haven't seen anyone else with the ?'s issue. Also I used the same exact method of setting up a friend's N3DSXL (sans system transfer) and her Activity Log works fine.

So my questions are:

1. Did playing a DS game mess something up with the autoboot of reiNAND? And why did it still boot under HBL but not though ctr when it previously did?
2. Why did the date/time get changed? And did my fix for the above problem cause this?
   
3. Does anyone know how to fix the Activity Log situation.

Honestly, I just want to know why these things happened so I'm more familiar the whole homebrew situation and to make sure there's nothing I need to fix before I have to start over and lose Mii Plaza progress again . I don't really mind the Activity Log being broken but just want to make sure it won't cause any problems down the line.

Just a quick question,

I got my 3DS all up and working, EmuNAND and all and it's on 10.5 with RxTools and I can play games and everything, that's cool.
I'd just like to know how what different methods there are for launching into RxMode from SysNAND, preferably ones that don't require an internet connection for, say, when I'm out in the middle of nowhere and was stupid and turned my 3DS off.

I did try one method that involved downgrading and injecting into MSET but it didn't work. Not sure why, the 4.0 MSET CIA installed on SysNAND just fine - or said it did, as did the injector in RxTools itself.

I'm already assuming you've got access to Homebrew in one way or another, you can set up MenuHax.

This basically is the closest thing to a coldboot you'll get for booting straight into emunand.

There are different payloads depending on whether you're using the 4.x or 6.x system settings app.

Since you already installed 4.0 (I hope you do not have a 2DS or you'll have a nasty surprise at the next factory reset), open FBI, press select and choose a payload for 4.x!

can anyone tell me how to access e-shop from a 9.5 rxtools emunand? cant use freemultipatcher because e-shop starts a never ending loading screen.

You update NVer and CVer and use FreeMultiPatcher

Thank you both.
I'm on an old 3DSXL so no trouble there.

I already tried that but the e-shop still stays on the loading screen.

Looks like there's no way then, as I did read Ninty locking people out who aren't on the right Native Firm.

You can switch to ReiNand/CakesFW very easily, while still having RxTools installed though.

I am still getting a weird error where the emunand homemenu crashes after a few seconds when I exit a game/application. I tried downgrading to 9.2 with sysupdater, but that dint fix anything. Any ideas how I can fix this? I haven't messed with any files. (N3ds).

More noob questions:

- How do I get my Homebrew Launcher .cia install to work offline?

- What's the best Save Manager/Editor these days? Savedatafiler, Save Manager, tvds...?

- How do I get around certain saves' ant-cheat encryption? Something about the first 8 bytes?

- What is HANS?

- How do I set up a way to edit my SD card wirelessly, without needing to remove it from an original 3DS?

 

[Aeth-r]

If I'm downloading a CIA update, do I need to download previous updates first or are they all bundled into one?

EDIT: I should specify, a GAME update.

There's a bunch of FTP hombrew apps that get the job done, but my favorite method is the CIA of nintendo mSDManagement. I'll send ya a PM.

That works on an O3DS? Could you send me a PM also?
