Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[pbanj]

Got the Homebrew set up, and then followed the Part 2 Downgrading tutorial, got to step 10 to downgrade 9.2, and it successfully did it (9.2.0-20U) So then I see it says to skip to step 18, but Im not sure why I need to do the rest of the steps in Part 2? Let alone Part 3? It seems since I've already downgrading I can just stop there? Sorry if I missed something

they set you up with an emunand so you can have a nand on 10.7 and 9.2. the emunand will be on 10.7 and the emunand will be on 10.7. if you want to keep ur games and what not on the emunand when it tell u to run tinyformat on the emunand dont. run it on the sysnand instead. you can also just finish the guide and have a9lh and have a fully hacked 3ds that you dont have to worry about not being able to run games on

ok, i'm in 10.6 and have an OoT. How easy it is to downgrade using power save ?

Pretty easy as you can easily get homebrew.

I was about to ask you something in regards to the steps again, but it appears I have a more important question now. After downgrading to 9.2, I was reading the steps, then decided to alter my theme from nothing to blue, then back to nothing. (Not sure if this was important to mention, but felt like I should put it here anyway) Then I try to start up Cubic Ninja again and click QR Code. It then starts the black screen for the homebrew, and it says

"The Homemenu robpin is ready"

Now normally after 1 second or 2, it would send me to the homebrew laucher, but now it exits out of it and back to the home menu with a message that says "An error has occurred. Please save your data in any software currently in use, and then restart the system."

Does being in 9.2 mean I dont use the Cubic Ninja entry point anymore? Or has something gone wrong?

You have to change the qr code. The first one u made was for a fw over 9.2. Just put the fw info in again and gen a new qr code

Oh ok. I generated a new QR code that matches my 9.2 version, but I dont get an option in the Cubic Ninja-Create-QR Code to actually scan it.

When I click Qr Code, normally it would allow me to scan something, but since homebrew has already been installed, everytime I click QR Code, it just goes straight to trying to load homebrew, instead of scanning something.

You have to hold abxy and l and r iirc to delete the data

Yeah that worked. Thanks. Now just need to get the right angle for this damn 3ds to scan the code. Keep getting an error. I know it takes multiple times, so should get it eventually

Edit: God Im so retarded, forgot to turn wifi on first. I seriously apologize for every post I make in this thread

2nd Edit: Do I need to actually do step 18? Since I never used menuhax//browserhax, or can I just continue on from 19 onwards?

3rd Edit: Just learned how to do menu/browser hax, so onward to step 19

Hey wow, page 1000 of the noob thread!

Here's my noob question: is there any way to get an EZ Flash Vi DS cart to work on my A9LH ARN N3DSXL? It works on my DSi on the latest (final?) firmware update.

 

[roamin]

hey all, i have googled and its not looking good lol

is there any way you can run ds roms on a 3ds with aureinand? can you use an r4 cart to run them on the 3ds? im running a n3ds xl with 10.7 aureinand.

cheers

Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who is taking the time to give advice to noobs in this thread. Hopefully this is the right place for me to ask this.

My question: My CFW knowledge is somewhat basic. I have meticulously followed this guide from Part 4 on my n3DS (I already had AuReiNand 10.7 installed and working). I am currently stuck on this section where it says:

• Your 3DS should reboot into the AuReiNand menu. If you get a black screen, follow this troubleshooting guide.

I followed the troubleshooting guide and booted with the test payload which allowed me to shut down with the A button, which proves my device is not bricked, "arm9loaderhax is working and something else is broken". Any idea what could be causing this?

EDIT: I was able to restore my sysNAND to a previous backup and try Part 5, Section II again, but I ended up with the same black screen error.

You can use a DS flashcart to run DS roms. There is no purely software based method to run them currently.

Hello guys,

I am getting back to my 3DS after a huge break of 2-3months (due to my board exams).
I have my current 3DS setup with sysNAND firmware 9.2 and emuNAND firmware 10.3 (RxTools)
I want to start over (in a sense) and format my sysNAND and emuNAND for a fresh start after these big break
But I don't want to lose my emuNAND and Custom Firmware etc...
So what are the steps for doing this. ?

Any advice is appreciated

Hello Guys!

I'am a big noob in the 3DS section and i don't have any yet.
If i buying a 3DS and my system ver is 10.7.0-32 what can i do with it? Can i run backup games? And how? Please give some advice. Thank You!

Any O3DS that hasn't been used will be on 9.2 or lesser firmware. If you did somehow get one that's on 10.7, it can still be downgraded, but you'll need either Cubic Ninja, Ocarina of Time AND a save dongle, or a Sky3DS to downgrade it.

Yes, you can run backups on it. There's a bunch of guides for setting up CFW, etc... but I'd just follow Plailect's guide since it is the most complete, and will set you up with Arm9loaderhax which is currently the best exploit.

Okay seriously, I would like to have something load every time I hold down the home button for a9lh. How would I do this? Would I just name the file 'home.bin?'

How safe is this? I mean how big is the risk of bricking? I'm a noob at this and I can't afford making any mistakes, and with afford I mean that if I brick my console it will be about 5 years until I can buy a new one. I have read through it and watch some guides on youtube but they are more or less all for new3DS. But as I said I would not like to brick my console.

Hey everyone I got this website from someone I know and they said it was good for r4 cards but i'm not sure if it has official r4i 3ds gold's. This is the link: http://www.r4ds-dsi.co.uk/r4i-gold-3ds-rts-card-for-nintendo-3ds-v101027dsi-v145_p695.html

It's pretty much about 3% now, which is a pretty low guess. The tools have been updated and everything is double checked so the risk is pretty damn low. I suggest you use Plialects guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki
As it is the best right now. Don't worry about your O3DS. The biggest risk here is downgrading to 2.1 and the o3ds can run this natively (the n3ds can not) so no worries there.

I suggest using THIS card and site instead. Nds-card.com is gbatemp's sponsor and they are very good. The card is the same though. It's good.
