Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Yeah i followed the guide to the end

Then yeah, you'd just backup the contents of your old SD Card. Then format your SD Card using that tool. Assuming your using Windows. Then copy the contents of your old SD Card onto the new formatted SD Card.

ok thanks for the help

 

[Feeling it!]

Can I use a old 3ds emunand without the need of a gateway card?

What event are you even talking about?

Serebii keeps a pretty updated list of current and upcoming events and how to get them: http://www.serebii.net/games/currentevents.shtml



You're more than right sir I just got confused thought Zygarde was realeased for all regions , anyways got my Xerneas

Also is there a way to run the pokebank by a cia ? and also is can it cause any troubles?

Ok, so I recently bought a new 3ds, it had firmware 9.9.0 which I downgraded to 9.2.0. I have tried running emunand and reinand but both of them result in nothing happening. with emunand my screen flashes red goes black flashes red again and then just goes back to homebrew. Reinand either turns the screen red and freezes or flashes red and then shuts down my 3ds with nothing changed. Does any one know if theres any reasons behind this or if I'm just doing something wrong. Any help would be great, Thank you.

Not a sir and Pokebank isn't free. You'll have to pay to use the service, but don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it, provided you pay the fee.

There's also PHBank, but I've never used it, so you'd have to figure out how to set up on your own. Link details: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-phbank-pokémon-homebrew-bank.398718/

Do you have mehuhax set to autoboot? Did you unlink your nands? Sounds like linked nands with autoboot menuhax.
Edit: Looks like you got it fixed on another thread

Yes I did. It was a bad downgrade that started the whole problem, but thank you for trying to help.

will sky3ds work for having custom firmware?

Will it work on a CFW setup? Yeah it does. You still need to have proper private headers and all that stuff if you want to play online using Sky3DS.

Thank you. I want to hack smash and I wanted to know if this was reliable for that.

As in use cheats? Don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Though if you have CFW, I would think installing as a .cia would be much easier.

You can downgrade from 9.9.0-26U just fine.

Use the A9LH guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

Thanks! I'll be doing this soon and will report my outcome.
BTW From your avatar I see you are in NJ. Awesome! I'm near Princeton. Would be cool if there were homebrew meetups in this area for like code sessions.

**Another question**
I'm testing the Region Free Launcher and I am getting a black screen on Girl's Mode (NTR-AZLJ). This is the only japanese 3DS game I own. RFL works fine with just loading the same region game (NTSC) so I know the program seems to be operating fine. Is this a compatibility issue?
Thanks!

That would be nice, but I get sidetracked with friends and work.

As for your question. I tested that game out, and it seems to black screen on me. Using Luma3DS and it's region//language emulation feature though, I am able to run it just fine. So probably a compatibility issue. I'd say just get CFW setup if you are thinking about importing games.

I am resisting the newest update. I have 10.7.32-U N3DS is downgrading this currently possible for flash cart use? Thank you

 

[daddie05]

Sorry for the noob question, but after installing the cfw via the Gateway 3ds cart (blue) and then inserting the red cart with the roms, I cannot get past the initial 3DS screen when launching a game. Here is a bit of background of what I have done:

4.1 FW First 3ds (CTR001)

Watched this link from Gateway's site to install the CFW in order to enable your 3ds to run roms. I used a freshly formatted microSD for my roms with my Macbook so i hope the formatting is not the problem (it says it's fat32).
I ran the diagnostic test with the red card in the system, and everything checks out fine. I attempted to run both Lego Avengers and Pokemon Rumble with no luck.
I even did the Format emunand step. I'm hoping it's a common problem. I have held back posting on here in order to find a solution. Help a novice guy out please.

I also want to get another 3ds (XL) for my son. I noticed that there are two versions. What is the difference between them? Thanks!

I figuerd it out. All I needed to do was update the Gateway 3ds FW to 11.0 in order to get Lego Avengers running. I didn't get to try any other roms because my Red cart's spring got busted. I only had it for 4 days. Is this a typical issue with these cards? They should have made the SD slot like the Blue Cart.

I also bought a "New 3DS" on version 9.9. So I am currently trying to downgrade to 9.2. I tried the Browserhax, but Nintendo prompts me to update in order to use the Browser.

Am I going to have to purchase the Ocarina or Cubic Ninja hack? Thanks

Try this to be able to use browserhax

1 - There is any way to keep save files after deleting .cia games ?
2 - any way to know what version of rxtools am i using ?
3 - if i'am using the last version, to update is just...normal updating ?

Yeah lol i know that feeling. I might create one, if i do ill shoot you a pm.
As for the question at hand, yeah it is prob a compatibility issue.
BTW the guide you sent me, I read through it. The end result is a hacked sysnand right? If I dont hard mod my 3ds for hardware flashing should I just stick with a sys/emunand split?

1. You can use svdt, jk or similar to dump/import saves.
2. There is no easy way. If you have a "rxtools" in your sd card you are probably using a version newer than 2.6.
3. Yes, it's safe to update your emunand (I don't know if it is the same case for n3ds though). Just go to system settings in your emunand and update.
