I don't understand the chart on

https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/9.2.0-Update

0 2 - 6 >6 is on the top if the chart and 1.x.x.-8.x.x.

I being on 4.1.0-3u does that mean I can upgrade by either of these 3 options?
4.X.X + Freeway MSET + rxTools Browser + Freeway Browser

Or is freeway mset the only way to upgrade? Also, the instructions require a DS flashcard that works on your 3DS version. Can I use just any DS flash cart?
use this: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/rxTools-Browser

Hi all.

Bit of a noob here.

I got my N3DS XL a couple of days ago (finally decided to upgrade from the DS Lite, lol) and almost immediately began downgrading in order to install A9LH. I'm using Plailect's guide which has gone well so far until part 4 where I had to inject FBI into hs.app. The universal injector doesn't seem to like Macs so I haven't been able to complete this step. The app refuses to open and the go.sh script gives the 'no hs.app found' error. I don't have a Windows PC or the space on my HDD to install Windows via Bootcamp. I have tried the Windows version (GUI and standard) in Wine to no avail.

Would someone mind explaining my options please or injecting FBI for me?

I have posted elsewhere but I don't think that thread will be very active considering the OP has resolved their issue.

Thanks and eternal gratitude in advance!

Just copy the luma files onto your SD, overwriting the cakes ones. Then delete any cakes ones that remain.

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

Open the browser and go to one of the following URLs on your 3DS
Should I have the 3ds connected to wifi before inserting the sd card into the 3DS? Or do I copy files to the SD then turn on wifi and then go to one of the address links?
It doesn't matter as long as your wifi is on when you try to go to one of the addresses.

If you need to format a brand new SD card, you can use this tool set to an Allocation Unit Size of 32K. "https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Get-Started"

guiformat-x64 only has 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536... no 32k. Is it okay if I set the allocation unit size to 512?

Also, the sd card that came with the 3ds is a Tosbiba 2gb sd. When I open guiformat the program states the sd card is a 1gb FAT. When I check removable disk properties, Windows 7 tells me the sd is 2gb FAT.

32k = 32768
64k = 65536
etc.

16384k was the largest allocation unit size I was permitted to use. Do you think this will be an issue when using the sd card for rxTools Browser?
Windows shows 16.0k used space and 1.83 gb free space.

Can I just copy/paste all my SD card content to a new one and have it still work, or do I have to run some kind of transfer? Basically everything on there was installed via FBI on A9LH

I didn't get a FBI.zip folder or FBI.CIA file on my sd card after doing the health&safety dump.

What should I do now?

You got the hs.app from the Health&Safety app. You weren't supposed to get the FBI.CIA or FBI.zip. You have to download the latest release from Plailect's guide.

She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
