Unfortunately, unless you have a backup of the NAND the saves were created with, I don't think there's a way to recover your saves.

I've no backup of the NAND ... Thanks for the answer anyway.

Is there anyway i could make my gateway cart looks like a legit game cart like a sky3ds?

If not, is there anyway to access the homebrew launcher without carts? And my browserhax access point does not work anymore after trying to downgrade using SafeSysUpdater, it hangs on the orange color and crashes and kicks me back to the home menu, i tried formatting the sd card and clearing history/cookies/browser save data etc. and even different URLs for different firmwares and nothing works.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just got a Pokemon N3DS (10.2U) and I'm trying to downgrade to 9.2>create an emuNAND> and then update it to 10.6. I then want to system transfer (keep my NNID, and keep my DSi Four Swords and Pokemon Shuffle/Rumble World stuff in tact) from my O3DS that which is on 10.6 (no emuNAND) so sysNAND to emuNAND. I don't really want to lose the Pokemon games on the N3DS either. I want to be able to use a 32 GB SD card that hasn't been used in either device in the N3DS.

I've been looking through the Simple Downgrading guide and I've gotten as far as finding the .cia files, but the 9.2.0U.zip checksum doesn't match the one on the first page of that tutorial (it does match the one on that iso site). I haven't even powered on the N3DS. I've only taken out the SD (4 GB from the N3DS) and loaded the sysupdate folder and the .cia files that I believe to be correct although they don't match..

Help?


EDIT: Found the .cia files elsewhere that match the checksum of this tutorial. After probably 50 attempts I am successfully running 9.2.0-20U! Not really sure how to proceed next, but off to ok start.

Yes, it is possible to dump games and install them as cias. You can use the Gateway Launcher to dump your games, then convert them to cias.

There are multiple ways to convert roms to cias, but the way I like to do it is to generate all of the XORpads with Decrypt9, then use Riku's Simple CIA Converter to convert them to cias.

Is there anything I've to keep in mind (headers etc.) when I want to play with the original and the copy simultaneously?

Hello,
Today I updated my 2DS sysNAND from 9.2 to 10.6 because I wasn't paying attention and thought it was emunand. I have another o3DSxl which is my brothers and is on 9.2, we both have rxTools emunands. I tried to put my 2ds SD card into his and start rx tools but I just got a black screen. I have sysnand backups of both consoles. How can I use my emuNAND on his system while still allowing him to use his from his SD card.
Thanks.

Hey Guys!

I'm a bit of an older member from here and I've pulled out my 3DS recently and was wondering what my options are?
Its an old 3DS, sat on 4.1.0-8E. I'm hoping this is late enough firmware to work with something, or there is a good way to get upto a firmware that is?
I'm just wondering about my options as to homebrew,emulators, playing backup games?
I've got an Acekard 2i as well, which runs fine, but no flashcard capable of 3DS mode.

I've tried looking through, but its a bit daunting and I'm confused where I should start, or what is viable?
I was hoping for some big old tutorial thread to be stickied or something, but I only saw this thread that seemed like it would be helpful to me!

I guess what I want to do is both have backups/homebrew/emu and some form of emulated firmware to play some of the newer games I've missed out on and want to buy.

Cheers for the help, and what I think is my first post here in like 3 years.

I've been scouring and trying things out the last couple hours, and I think I have come to the conclusion that I'm screwed. I am trying to access homebrew and downgrade to 9.2, and I have 2 Old 3dses. One on 9.7, and one on 10.5
I dont have youtube downloaded, and I cant access eshop without updating


Is there something Im missing? Or am I screwed?

I recommend that you follow this tutorial (not mine): https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/

So now that I have CFW setup is there a reason to keep the gateway card? I was thinking of giving it to a relative but if theres a compelling reason to keep it...

Also what are the boot rates like on a standard Menuhax Rxtools setup?

Gateways are pretty handy if you somehow have to set up CFW again. It's basically a failsafe option to install a Title Manager if H&S doesn't work.

The bootrates are pretty good for Menuhax in general.

Is there a current list of Card2 games?

You can downgrade the 9.7 one by installing browserhax and then menuhax(Iirc, the browser nag appears from FW 9.9 onwards), and then downgrade using sysUpdater. As for the 10.5 one, your only option to downgrade is hard modding/wait for a new method of downgrading :/

You should be able to run homebrew with both of them and "downgrade easily" just one.

If you have not updated your 9.7 via cartridge, you should be able to use browserhax to install menuhax and continue with the downgrade.

With the 10.5 one, you will probably need to set the date of your 3ds to January 1 2000 00:00 and run browserhax as quick as you can to install menuhax too

Edit: ninja'd!

NANDs are console unique, you cannot use a backup of your sysNAND/emuNAND on another 3ds :/

What if I restored the NAND backup from my 2DS to the xl, to use my emuNAND, the restored the original, or does that just result in a bricked system?

100% bricking chance

OK, thanks for telling me. I'll just use my physical carts and wait it out.

It will brick your emuNAND -_- It just won't work. Period.

Are GBA VC games playable on the 3DS yet?

EDIT: Nevermind, they are, just not on Gateway. Damn it.

Is it worth installing CFW on sysNAND to play them, or do they run fine under an emulator?
