wow...That probably took some time to type and I am truly sorry yet again(also going to wait to apologize to my parents for being selfish as they are sleeping and they work hard for me to learn and be successful in life and not be a bum)
-SUGGESTION- Stop apologizing, go chill out and think about this problem you have about not fully taking responsibility of your acts (I mean, telling yourself you do x things for other people as an excuse), but think of that alone, in a relaxed place. Then, on Friday get the 3DS, try to look into it, and only when you have more questions come back. Self shaming won't make you better, but reflecting on why you do things on your own may.

Well, this is an interesting situation; hardmoding is your answer.

@Biff627 .... Nice Ryuko Matoi theme, I'm gonna try it out x3 (My waifu)

PS~ Can you include the Loose your way Song; but, the Credits one from the last dozen episodes is still pretty good.
Ive used it since I made it :D I even have a custom boot up from A9LH! I love this theme and I actually just "updated" it a tiny bit xD
Tbh, I may change some of the bottom pics as well xD

But he says he has no MCU brick, read somewhere above where it states the lid wasn't closed.
op says something else

This the disadvantage of a n3ds.
'Oh i'll leave my n3ds in sleep'
*closes n3ds*
(a few seconds later)
'OH SHIT, NOW I REMEMBER, DOING THAT HARDBRICKS!!!!!'

But wait, i did this on my 2ds, how come when i put it in sleep it didn't brick?


heeey lil bro :3


lemme tell you why.
Yall got a 2DS,not a new 3DS.

And,since back in 2.1 2DS didnt exist,the top screen was fucked up.

Even tho the 2DS got the same screen size as the first 3DS.

Which was around at the time :l

I don't see why any of this is your problem? Your friend had to be doing the hack, even if you walked him through it. How can you feel guilty if you warned him and he ignored you> I would say it's own problem at this point and just point him in the right direction. First you said you did it, and felt guilty because it wasn't yours, then you said it wasn't even you. You make absolutely no sense. This thread is all over the place.

My friend attempted the downgrade process on his own and got stuck on the 2.1.0 firmware section and he closed his new 3ds before telling after I warned him not (what can you do) he has a nand backup (thank god he listened to that) and now i was wondering is there any other way besides hardmod to restore or I can try to do something else

It doesn't matter if you vouch for him, if he doesn't send pictures of his hardmods in to the OP of the hardmod installers thread and get himself verified and added to the list then nobody will trust him.

I'm really sorry to hear about what happened about getting your 3DS bricked.

On the technical side of things, how that old firmware bricks your 3DS is actually because firmwares that are older than 8.1 only have an old 3DS variant, there is no New 3DS version of it. And because the New 3DS is different hardware, it uses different instruction sets for sleep mode, turning off the display and many other functions.

Using a firmware that is coded for old 3DS will always result in that same problem. When the device's lid is closed, the New 3DS uses the ARM9 instruction to the NATIVE_FIRM, and what it points to is a pointer that leads to an instruction that rewrites bytes in the invalid locations on the NAND, which ends up corrupting the system NAND. And that's how it's game over for your working 3DS. The only way to fix the problem, is through a hard-mod. Only attempt a hard-mod if you know what you're doing.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
