Hey i just bought a n3ds and it came with 9.9.026u fw, i have been reading around and it seems like my only options are to find a outrageously priced cubic ninja game, buy sky3ds for 87+ dollars or risk bricking the console with sysupdater and some kind of other entrypoint like browserhax or menuhax. I've tried loading the files onto the microsd card and trying the browserhax exploit but it seems the 9.9 fw is locking the browser out from working. Any step by step tutorial or video tutorial would be greatly appreciated.

You need to go to to your home menu themes and let it create extdata on your sd card before you can install menuhax, as menuhax needs this to function. Make sure wifi is off before you do this as you will get blocked out of the browser if you don't.

I'll pm you the files I used to get to 10.3 and then 9.2 also got to setup dns which I'll also provide. When I get home I'll send them to you.

Yeah I read into that as well and just went with the sys updater on the tutorial, both upgrading and downgrading went smoothly for me just make sure your using the correct n3ds full update cia's.

Are all of the cias in a directory named "updates" on the root of your SD card?

no bro root/updates/cia files it is lookinh for the xxxxxxxx21000.cia file inside the folder. i checked it and the file i dpwnloaded from 3dsiso site named n3ds10.3.28-u doesnt have it. ok since youre all saying that i just need to use the vanilla sysupdater then ill go for it, but iwanted to check the file intrgrity and its content and what if safesysupdater is right about my missing file

    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
