I am trying to downgrade my emunand from latest firmware to 2.1 to dump OTP on my OLD 3ds xl but I get FATAL Error during NFIRM downgrade asking to shutdown power and reboot.
I have tried several times and get same error every time.

I have not changed my region and using correct updates pack.
I am using Luma 5.2 (for some reason I get black screen when using newer versions.)

Any suggestions on what can be causing the Plaisysupdater to fail every time?

You need a 4.X or 6.X game cartridge. Use 3dsdb.com to find one.

And no, there's not, otherwise it would be in the guide.

Ok, so if I have to get a game to do the update, what firmware should I aim to get? Is it better to find a game with 9.2 directly or doesn't it matter if it's 9, 4 or 6?

I followed Plailect's guide and installed Arm9loaderhax, everything is running perfectly!

Now my question, is there any risk of being banned using games online that i installed through CIA?
Also, the games being region free have a impact in some way, or can i just play them as usual, go online and everything like a normal game?

Cia install games should not get you banned, Just don't cheat or be obvious about it on anything releveant to nintendo (Example, posting pictures of homebrew on miiverse Or cheating in games), Also if you do use homebrew cia, maybe advised to hide game activity in the friends list options.

As for region, free, yes if you followed the guide for installing the arm9loaderhax (A9LH) Then you should have region free, any out of region cia should be on the home menu, but i don't think they support multiplayer functions. (online or local) You can try if you want to. :)

Ah its ok then, i never used miiverse, and i dont plan to cheat, just want to play the games normally.

I had a similiar problem, on fact almost the same problem. What I did was use luma 5.2 and launch it a few times, then Updated luma and did the 2.1 downgrade. After that later on in the guide when you restore your sysnand from emunand i had to downgrade luma back to 5.2 as i got a black screen again and i updated back to 5.5 once i finished the guide.

With NTR CFW :
I can't use the Screen Capture feature on my WiFi because my Router blocks the connection and my N3DS won't connect to my PC..
I've tried it with my mobile and it just works fine.
Can anyone help me with my router or know why it blocks the connection?

Ok, ive found Lego Lord of the Rings pretty cheap, this should have version 4.1 according to 3dsdb.

Would this work fine to upgrade my 2.1 system? After which I can use rxtools to go to 9.2?

Yes. That'll work fine.

I am currently on step 18 of the 9.20 update: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/9.2.0-Update-(rxTools-2.5.2)

I don't get it, how do I backup Backup EmuNAND to emuNAND.bin??? What does that even mean? I go to emunand options and click backup/restore and all I get is some Nand Backup option with the name "NAND_emu.bin"
Use the dpad up and down and left and right.

Use Up/Down on the D-Pad to change the name to emuNAND.bin.
thanks! What do I do if my sd card doesn't have enough space? It's 4 gigs, a bit weird.

What do I do if I don't have enough space for a sysnand backup on my SD card? I'm on the 9.20 update part still.

Move emuNAND.bin to your PC then do a sysNAND backup. Or delete unnecessary files.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant

    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
