If I wanted to install basehax on my OR copy: How would I do that? I never saw a basehax installer in the homebrew menu...

You download the installer
and Cubic is pretty easy to find now. try finding Freakyforms

Just curious @masskiss What brand is your sd card? I hope is not fake ones, i hear that fake sd cards can be bought but are not worth it as it doesn't function properly.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible for Ninty to patch the 11.0 Soft-Downgrade method? Asking because I plan to get a New3DS in the next year or 2

 

[Anunnymous]

recreate a arm9loaderhax.bin with ur OTP and reinstall

Thanks man, that fixed it.

Yes. Let's say 11.1 requires the new firm on errdisp/home menu, you would just soft-brick trying to use the DSiWare method to downgrade. Basically DSiWare and Hardmods that use the Firm downgrade hack would be useless.

So ... No luck after 10 failed attempts & restarts.
Tried mashing the A button to no avail.

And yeah, forgot one important question. Do I have to restart everytime it gave me the error? Cause that's what it says.
Could save me some time if I don't have to. But I don't want to have all my attempts in vain.

My tip is to zoom in all the way and put the upper left corner of the slider at the upper left of the touchscreen and tapping directly in the corner
Works fairly well here, but idk if Spider 1.75 has more stability than 1.74 tho (Grabbing the numbers off the top of my head. Assume 1.74 is the browser 9.2 has and 1.75 is the one you have)

At this point I'm fairly sure nowhere other than the slider is clickable, and there's no difference as to where I tap on the slider. As long as I tap the slider, it's processing for a moment then gave me the lovely error.

And um, I'm really noob at this, but I don't use the Spiderhax? I'm using the auto.php and it gave me Sliderhax. The Spiderhax's url is now http://yls8.mtheall.com/spider28hax.php, so I guess it's version 2.8? Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Just curious @masskiss What brand is your sd card? I hope is not fake ones, i hear that fake sd cards can be bought but are not worth it as it doesn't function properly.

It's a Lexar 4GB SDHC. Build quality's pretty nice tho, I doubt it's a fake.
Don't mind the lock, was just tinkering with it.
Still can't get my hands on another SD card, last option is to buy another one ...

That kind of SD works... my friend had the same one when I was setting up A9LH

So yeah, will keep trying then ... Do I have to restart the device when the error pops up?
By restart I mean turning it off and on again.

Hello I was told this would be a good place to ask this question..

I just finished hacking and installing A9LH on a brand new N3DS. Now, I want to take all of my eshop purchases, saved games, NNID, etc, from my STOCK 11.0 O3DS and transfer it to this new A9LH N3DS.

Can someone please provide a legitimate, 100% noob friendly guide for completing this? The only guide I saw basically said "You need to follow this nintendo video and then reinstall this, this and this, but I won't go into reinstalling anything because it's covered elsewhere."

I would greatly appreciate sometime that held my hand like Pailect's guide for hacking, because I don't want to go through that again or mess anything up.

Thanks in advance!

Just perform a regular old system transfer. Follow instructions about the SD cards (don't go moving them around for no reason or you may find your games won't work on the console that has the NNID). At the end make sure the N3DS microSD card has the a9lh files on it. That's really it.

 

[BlondeTwintailTsundere]

so i have a taiwan 3ds 4.2.0.-5T, which means that i won't be able to install A9LX + luma3ds...

but what about menuhax + luma3ds? is it possible?

thanks

so... does anyone know?

That was it, just a plain ol' transfer lol. Love when things are that easy.

Personally, I removed all the files in my target systems Nintendo 3DS folder, since I am assuming those are never going to be read again once the source Nintendo 3DS folder is copied over. Will this cause me any issue or was my logic correct?

Also, the only thing extra I needed to do was reinject FBI to H&S so I can install the FBI CIA. Other than that, it all seems good!

Thanks for responding!

You have to tap the absolute right side of the slider. Don't just touch anywhere on the bar. Your screen has to at least turn yellow to trigger the homebrew loader. Try using your fingernail to touch only the right side. THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDER BAR. As if skipping to the very end of a video your playing.

Also that is the SD card that comes with all 3ds xl models. So its not a problem, if nintendo found it a problem, it would have changed by now.

Where, and to whom, can I talk about freeshop, titlekeys, and other external CIAs in general? I am using Freeshop (and loving it) but the speeds are a weeee bit inconsistent and make me want to cry at times. I am interested in the fastest route that also maintains full functionality (online access, etc) of whatever is being installed.

If you are referring to downloading games, then is only as fast as the system can go. Is very hard to get a increase in anything, best you can do is maximize your wifi signal and speed output. But don't expect downloads like a PC or game console. it was made in 2011, is just a basic wifi card with 2.4.GHZ 801.11 B,G connection (Probably ones used in cellphones at the time) Nothing fancy like a 5 GH AC connetion like PS4 or Xbox one or tablets and such.

Yikes, they didn't upgrade the wifi card in the N3DS? That sucks

Are the CIAs on Freeshop available to download to the PC and then transferred to the system? or is there another well known repository with CIAs such as Freeshop that is available on the PC side?

 

[iViperz]

I've currently got an O3DSXL and a N3DSXL both on 9.2. Which is preferable to install A9LH on? I'd prefer to just install it on 1 device for now and see how I get on. (fwiw O3DSXL is hard modded)

Well i am sure there is but freeshop installs games the sameway the officla Eshop does. The way you described has a possible flaw since in order to install cia files you need enough storage for example, 2GB for the cia file and 2GB to install. total of 4GB needed. While free shop doesn't need at least 4 GB to install since is done all from the internet it can use just what is required to install.
