Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Onepunchbruh]

what version is it right now?

it doesn't work like this, it just installs older versions of system titles (if I understood what you're saying).

How do I downgrade? Im on 6.0 on 3ds xl. I boot my gateway through browser that I don't like. So I want to downgrade my 3ds xl sysnand!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I got a old 3ds on 4.1 firmware I used that long time ago I use to boot gateway through nds profile in setting. I don't like this net browser thingy. I want to downgrade my 3ds xl. SO it can boot through nds profile

Why not update to 9.2, install Standard A9LH, and use a BootManager like BootCTR9 to autoboot GW's a9lh.bin, and have Luma3DS on another button (this is so you can safely update your sysNAND - as GW doesn't have Firm0/Firm1 protection.)

That sounds like a more reasonable goal.

no, don't downgrade to 4.x ever, use menuhax. also are you sure it's on "9.0.0-20"? what is it exactly?

the best place to start is https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-1-(Homebrew) but stop at the end of part 3 if you really don't want arm9loaderhax.

also please do not use rxTools (at least when setting up a new console), it's not going to work in the future when Nintendo releases 11.1 and most likely updates a few things, so best to use something else now.

Thanks for your quick reply.
The seller said it's an o3dsxl that's on 9.0.0-20u and he doesn't know anything else about it.
Part 2 of that guide is for getting to fw 9.2. can that be skipped?
Also I don't really understand rednand and emunand. I am currently using gateway's emunand on rxtools 2.6 and I have a few cias installed. Would it be possible to backup and use those game saves if I use a different cfw.

you could downgrade but the best choice is to actually update to 9.2.0-20: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/9.2.0-Update-(rxTools-MSET)

you don't really want to go down to 4.x anymore - nobody really supports that these days

I did mention that you don't need to worry about going to 9.2 because 9.0 is identical in pretty much all cases

no you will not lose anything if you switch custom firmwares. you can use "EmuNAND" in place of "RedNAND" if you don't want to re-format the SD card for it.

Use JK's save manager to backup your saves.

Edit: This is assuming you are moving to another 3DS. Though it doesn't hurt to back them up either.

does 9.2 sysnand can boot through nds profile? Do I have to install something dangerous to update to 9.2sysnand?

follow the guide and you'll be going to 9.2 sysnand, where you can use menuhax instead of DS Profile. menuhax is much faster (runs as soon as you turn on your console). or arm9loaderhax if you decide to follow the guide completely.

How does menuhax boot to gateway?

GW.3dsx is in the latest download for the public beta. this can be run from menuhax to go into the Gateway menu.

if you decide to do this, don't do arm9loaderhax (yet).

I mean like how does it boot through menuhaxloader does it load through a button or what?

 

[ihaveahax]

it would by default run menuhax when you hold a button turning on the console. you can configure it to run automatically without holding any buttons

Ok I'll try to update my 3ds XL sysnand to 9.2. When I'm done & still have some problem. I will have a pm chat with you. Thanks mate for the help!

 

[ayy lmao]

I formatted my system using tinyformat and trying to reinstall menuhax because it supposedly gets deleted after formatting. I try using browserhax but it doesnt work. Am I doing something wrong? Im trying to intstall Luma3ds

What is this luma3ds thingy? what does it do?

Just do what ihaveamac told you to do, don't think about it for now.

But if you must know, it's a CFW, that let's you do a majority of the things a Gateway3DS can, except for loading .3ds or the Gateway cheats (Though NTR exists for that, which is a CFW that runs on-top of it? I think, not sure, and that has had it's development stopped.)

You can read the Luma3DS wiki to get an idea of what it does:
Link: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki

But I suggest you just focus on doing what ihaveamac told you to do first, then if you're still interested, you could also use menuhax to test out Luma3DS.

Well I have a gateway card. Do I still need this? I just need to update & boot my gateway through menuhax right?

 

[Temptress Cerise]

Whether you need it or not, is up to you. However, since you are asking, the likely answer is probably no. As for your other question, yeah, update and boot Gateway through menuhax.

I will try to use that luma3ds on my normal 3ds that is on 4.1firmware. Will luma work on 4.1?

Luma3DS does not work below 7.0, which is why you should go to 9.2.

oh ok last & final question I forgot to ask from you! if I update through that tutorial up there will it change my original software or will it just update? (i'm downloading the o3ds 9.2firmware right now)
