Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Chiqx]

Hey I have several questions:

1. Is there any way to use Action Replay Codes in .cia installed games when you use Luma and A9LH?
2. I have hacked my Nintendo 2DS. I ordered a bigger SD Card now. How do I transfer everything? I mean the system, CFW, a9lh just everything? Do I have to redo all that stuff on my new sd card?
3. There are alot of homebrew applications. What do you guys use on your console which is useful?

Thanks.

So i just made a first install of a9hl v2 with luma in o3ds. I already have a n3ds with a9hl v1 and aurainand(or what ever luma was called).

How does one take screenshots of 3DS games? HANS crashes every single time I use it, and I cannot post to Miiverse. I'm on 10.5 N3DSXL, with no hacks applied to it. If this is not possible, is there a way for me to dump an eShop game without hacking my 3DS, (via menuhax would be fine though. I just don't want to apply a CFW to the 3DS, as in RXTools or a9lh) in order to use said game on my A9lh N3DS?

if you really don't want to downgrade, HANS/*hax is your only option. to get an eShop game from a "non-cfw" system to "cfw" system without obtaining it though "other means", you'd still have to downgrade.

Error 022-2634 on updated sysnand a9lh... This is caused by unlinked emunand and cannot access eshop under normal sys/emu nands, but how does this get resolved under a9lh sysnand? How do you relink nands under this config? Any ideas?

Oof. So if I went through the whole process of downgrading, would I just follow the new Plailect guide that was posted recently? And I saw something about having DSiware games could potentially brick my 3DS while downgrading. Is that common? I've downgraded and installed RXtools on an O3DSXL, and A9lh on my N3DS, but both didn't have any downloaded titles on them when I did so. This one N3DS has all sorts of installed games and legit stuff that I don't want to lose save data on, so I'm a little worried.

What's the most basic/safest/least intrusive level of hack I could do in order to dump my games?

I doubt it's actually to do with DSiware, really, but what do I know?

if you do downgrade, and end up with a brick, it's only a soft brick which is fixable by updating to the latest version (which sucks, but your console still works). nobody seems to know why this soft brick happens. the only fix is a format before downgrading, which is of course hard for some people.

doing all of the new guide, which doesn't use emunand/rednand anymore. it's easier and faster than trying to set up rednand and other things

I had dsiware games on my 3DS and i never bricked.

To be honest i think with the old methods of nand backups and constant formatting maybe helped but since is only after downgrade, is not important. I had DSIWARE. Maybe perhaps copy the dsiware to your SD card and back it up until you finish the downgrade or full a9lh

Thanks, both! Looks like it's time for this 3DS to make the jump to a9lh freedom, then!

just wondering, what are you going to do if you attempt to downgrade, it fails (soft brick after the downgrade, not during), and you're forced to update?

Using the BOOT NTR CFW people are able to take screenshots whenever. Using hans you can only do it during games, and then you have to use the app to convert it to PNG, I personally hope a better screenshot tool is made.

Good luck with that, hope it works out. Remember to be careful and confident. Always read carefully.

It'd only be an update, right? I wouldn't lose my games/saves? Then I'd just suck it up and find another way to get review screenshots before embargo. (the purpose of this endeavor).

yes, just an update. nothing will be lost either way.

Why can't you post to mii verse, do you not have nintendo network id? Or is the game incompatible?

Legal NDA claims I cannot publicly post information about the game until the 15th. So I don't want to break that.

Are you sure hans is not working? Sometimes the game freeze and then works. But it's very rare. It happens with cart games, i never tried digital games.

Ok, just checked the 3DS. It's basically still on 1.0. If I read that right, I have to find a game cart with a certain update on it, and then I'll be able to use a browser exploit to install, right?

If it's on 1.0 you don't have a browser, and updating by cartridge won't give you one. Update to 4.x or 6.x and get a DS flashcart, then you can use Decrypt9 (MSET)

Hi there,

I have a Sky3DS blue button. I am trying to put Megaman Legacy Collection and Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition onto my cart, but when I cycle through my games on my 3DS, they seem to come up as blank games until I get to the front of my list. I have updated to the latest template. Are these not actually compatible with the blue button version? Thanks.

I know Fire Emblem Fates has AP, not sure about Megaman.
