What version did you downgrade from? If it was higher than 9.9, that's why nothing works.
I assume (since you really provided no information) that during the downgrade you got the "error has occurred" message.

If so you likely still have your original browser. If you can't open the browser you'll need OOT/CN to get back into HBL properly.

Provide us with more information. Like what version you started on, what you were downgrading to, did you use O3DS files etc..

I went from 10.3 to 9.2 to 9.9 and I used the right files

Didn't answer the other question. Does the browser freeze as well?
If so, do you have OOT/CN? (looked like you did).

If you have OOT, use another 3DS to install a different payload. Upgrading to 9.9 makes things iffy, but try a 9.9.0-31U payload on OOT and see if you can enter HBL from there. (try 9.2.0-31U if that doesn't work)

Welp, then you're probably SOL then. Without a game/browser/system settings, you got yourself a nice brick there since you have no way into HBL. Your only bet is try to either find a game like FE:Fates with a 10.3 update and hope that fixes things.

Hardmod would only help you if you have a 9.2 backup or you had it in place before hand. Hardmod won't do anything for you at this point unless later you did the 10.6>10.2 nand/nfirm swap and then downgrade that to 9.2.

The best thing I can reccomend at this point if a 10.3 cart update doesn't work is try using the safe-mode and update the console (though it'll be on 10.6)
Turn off
Hold L+R+Up+A

safe mode freezes so if FEF does not worked I got myself a gold potato

with a hardmod he can use recovery to update to 10.6 and then downgrade to 10.2, to downgrade further to 9.2
so a hardmod would fix my freezes

well the recovery i speak off is that safe mode, so you need a way to update to 10.6 to fix everything then hardmod and downgrade

Considering you started at 10.3, assuming no other shenanigans you can try updating to that to see if it'll at least fix the games.

If it doesn't work though and you can't get to safe mode, you have yourself a golden potato as you have no way of getting to the latest update and by the time a new game comes out, I can guess they'll change the nativefirm making the hardmod useless down the road since the attack works on minor firms.

Anyways, you never explained what happened, did you get an error downgrading? How many files are in your update folder?

I am sure I used the right files but I used sysupdater when it was unsafe

a 10.3 game doesnt fix it?

What's the number of files though? Juliaan's sysupdater or safesysupdater? (the latter had logging features)

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff

    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
