It probably isn't your fault, as I'm pretty sure SafeSysUpdater only checks if you have the right update pack from that site.

SafeSysupdater was designed for noobs like you, as it has more safety checks than normal Sysupdater (which has none at all).

So if you think you've got the right update pack, you can try your luck.

Okay, I've also found another source and I'll try it. Also, ever since I've joined I keep here about "that site" but I still have no idea what site it actually is. I know WHY nobody calls it by it's name but I still feel rather out of the loop. :P

When I'm pressing Y to downgrade, the screen turns black and there and a few red pixels on the bottom left corner of the screen. Every time I reboot and try again I get the same result.

Was curious what my options were as to playing pirated stuff, region free translations, etc. It came out of the box at 9.9 though, can it still be downgraded?
Sure, you only need a way to run homebrew (I think 9.9 or less didn't have the browser nag problem, so you could run browserhax to install menuhax).
When you had installed menuhax, you're ready to run safesysupdater or sysupdater.

Hey guys, hoping I could get some help. I'm trying to run browserhax on 9.9.0-26U but everytime I try to run the page using the qrcode a message pops up saying "The internet browser cannot be used at this time. Please check your network environment or try again later." Any suggestions?

You probably have Tubehax dns on.

Hi guys, I haven't really played much with my 3DS in a while and needed help with my gateway because I forgot just about everything. I am currently on 4.5u and my gateway version says Omega 2.6 whatever that means. What I wanted to know is that if there is anyway to play the games on my gateway on line (Doesn't it have to do with emunand, I don't remember). Also, is their specific games that I have to update my gateway for in order to play? Lastly what is this whole cia thing? Thanks.

Hi !
I'm sorry to ask this because i missed a thread about that, but i've a question about VC GBA Games.

I can do it (i've rxtools etc) but i've seen people not being okay with a not clean sysNand... I'd like to play GBA Games but i don't want to have bad things with my sysNand.
Any idea ?
Thanks !

You can play online with an updated emuNAND. CIAs are a format that the 3ds uses. They're like the 3DS' .exe version, they are installation files basically.

You can't play GBA games on emuNAND without having it installed on sysNAND also. So, no, you have to install it on sysNAND too.

Yeah I know that, that's not my question, i would like to know WHY and if it's bad to put things on a clean SysNAND
Thanks

It's not bad , but people would rather have a clean sysnand and mess with everything else on Emunand

You can use your gba games on emunand if the nands are linked , if they aren't , you must install them on both , Emunand and Sysnand for them to work on emunand

The 3DS reboots into the GBA firmware when GBA VC is started and that is why GBA VC needs to be installed to both SysNAND and EmuNAND. It isn't really bad, people just just prefer to mess around with their emuNAND than their sysNAND :P

Yep, both are linked, but if it's only about the mess on the sysNAND it's not really a problem for me :3
I thought it was something more important that esthetical things.

Thanks o/

have you moved the files from your regions 3077 folder to sd root?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------



the steps are:
dumping emunand to emunand.bin
backing up the nindendo 3ds folder (the one with your sysnand and emunand folders) from root to pc.
enter emunand, system settings, check youre really in emunand, then format your emunand from system settings.
wwhen its done, reboot and enter emunand, go through the initial setup, set up internet connection and then go to system settings and NNID settings. log in with name, email and password.

careful, there's a chance that somewhere along the way, while the system sets up nnid stuff, you'll get bumped back into sysnand. if that happens, after you try to login, it will inform you that your system needs an update. in that case, just slowly back out of the menu, reboot and try again

when thats done, get back into emunand9, copy emunand.bin back to emunand, unmount your sd and restore the nintendo 3ds folder.
afterwards, everything should work.

dont worry if entering eshop gives an error the first time, that seems to happen, just start it again

Dump emunand to file with emunand9, backup your sd content just inserting your sd on your pc and copy/paste.
System format your emunand from system settings, format, etc... just like normal (sorry, my 3ds is eur so I don't know the exact names in english).
Then, boot your empty emunand, go system settings and on NNID setting, relink your old NNID.
After that, you can reinject your emunand backup with emunand9 and paste back your SD backup

Alright thnaks, gonna try this today and hopefully it works after that

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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.
