Crashing at the red screen? Did you download starter.zip from https://smealum.github.io/3ds/ and copy /3ds/ and boot.3dsx to your root? (I thought you already had it, but apparently not... I should have mentioned that, sorry!

EDIT: By the way, when you tagged me in the edited post earlier, I wasn't notified! I thought I should let you know.
No I didn't have that. Now I do and hopefully I will have better success. Thank you!

Interesting? How about now @CrispyYoshi Also that worked perfectly :)

Ok. Now I am stuck and need some assistance. I am at the part where it told me to boot to homebrew launcher and run decrypt9 and go to Emunand options. I dumped the hs.app and fbi.cia to the input folder in universal inject generator master and ran go.bat. It created the fbi inject with banner.app which I put on the root of my SD card. When I put my SD card back into the 2ds, I click on Health&Safety Inject under Emunand options but it doesn't give me the option to select the fbi inject app. Any ideas?

Maybe someone mentioned this before me. But, do make sure to have at least two working pre-A9LH sysnand dumps. Save them to multiple locations. Without them, you will be doomed if ever something happens during the process or later for whatever reason.

I think that's covered in the guide too actually: It even asks you to verify that the filesize is correct.

Did you make sure you put fbi inject w/banner.app on root, and pressed up/down/left/right to look for the file when it asked for a file to inject?

Yes. It says it failed. But I think AI realize my error. I cut the hs.app out instead of copying it. Could that be the issue?

It is indeed mentioned. Still, it's good to emphasize on it since some people might ignore it. Just look at that poor guy who has a problem with his N3ds and he has no sysnand dump.

Exactly why I made several plus I have one from when I very first started with the 2DS :)

Edit - I got it working. For whatever reason, I had to put it in the decrypt9 folder. But! On to the next step. Thank you guys for all the help!

Now backing up my Nand and Emunand once again, this time with OTP Helper, because the guide told me to :D

It is more minimalist and more focussed on making the features work, it also does not have "LOL bugfix" comment every two minutes.
Eh... Not bugfixes, more like me being OCD removing/simplifying stuff as much as I can.
Tell me where I have not-working features:)
(Anyway... one second it's too many commits, the following second the code is bloated... A contradiction there! People need to make up their mind!:unsure:)

SaltCFW is quite a minimalist.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
