Homebrew 2ds roms on 3ds

[MeAndHax]

Yes if you have *Prior* existing CFW
People who foolishly updated w/o checking? then it's thier own damn'd fault.

He has 11.3 OFW.

 

[Dracari]

He has 11.3 OFW.

then RIP OP. Save up for a Sky3DS, or sell your current unit and try to get a 3DS on older FW. no way around it currently.

 

[Seliph]

But not for free..

Yeah you can, look up Twl loader. It runs .nds files (not very well currently but eventually it will be able to run games perfectly).

"OFW" no existing CFW. the OP is SOL.

Oh, I thought it worked on old 3ds

 

[xtheman]

Oh, I thought it worked on old 3ds

OFW means original nonhacked firmware, OFW has no way to get CFW without pre 11.3 nand backup

You can install CFW to old 3ds

People who foolishly updated w/o checking? then it's thier own damn'd fault.

I do feel that is a bit rude, maybe the OP got into hacking after they updated the console. Or they bought a used console already updated.

Oh, I thought you could install CFW on the current firmware

 

[xtheman]

Oh, I thought you could install CFW on the current firmware

On 11.2 you can. On 11.3 you have no way at all (even with hardmod [unless you have a pre 11.3 nand backup])

 

[The Catboy]

You can't with 11.3. 11.3 patched out all known exploits as well patched in a NATIVE_FIRM requirement to the homemenu. Which means you can't even do a dsiware/hardmod to downgrade your system.

As for the OP, if you don't have a CFW, you are basically SOL. You have two options
Wait it out
Sell your system and buy one on 11.2 or below.

Wow, I didn't realize how lucky I was to get cfw when I did. I got it like 2 weeks before the update.

This is why we stress the importants of research before updating. Because sooner or later, Nintendo was going to smarten up and fuck us up.
This update also broke the homebrew launcher for a few days by targeting the launcher instead of the entrypoints. It was a pretty hardcore update and targeted the core of the hacking community instead of the crust.

ohh thers no pitty on those who update w/o checking "Can i do XXX on ### firmware? " and update blindly. ort use teh excuse "Friend/family updated my 3ds D: " as you should keep tight hold of yoru 3DS Espically if you allready have CFW and didnt bother to use luma's Pin lockout.

but buying a second hand 3DS and it comes pre-updated or it was gifted? nothing you can do really on that. so i'm not that harsh in this situations. one you cant help , thats being Rude AF.when you can help it /can research beforehand? then only one to blame is themselves at that point. so many had been complacent "Ohh i could hardmod downgrade." w/ 11.3 that stoped being an excuse.

I followed the guide from 3ds.guide, the "2.10 transfer"

 

[Dracari]

I followed the guide from 3ds.guide, the "2.10 transfer"

and you stoped there.. Why? Follow the guide thru. and if you didnt make a nand backup before, read the 9.2 CTR NAND transfeer section else RIP. (and if this is w/ a replacement N3DS and you Foolishly System update from 2.1, also RIP as you just made a paperweight. same if you sleep an N3DS while still in 2.1)

I followed everything, don't worry.

Just need a little bit more help.
I downloaded "TWLoader" (https://gbatemp.net/threads/twloader-ctr-mode-nds-app.448375/)
And whenever I try to start a game I just get a black screen.
I followed the FAQ on what to do, but to no success.
Is there something else that you can use on old 3ds?

 

[einhuman197]

So you basically have a running cfw? Wait for the game to start, it may stay for a few minutes until the game launches.

Some games just don't load

2. Installing cfw onto your 3ds and then installing TWL loader (It's basically a DS game emulator for your 3ds, it costs no money but so far the program isn't running perfectly and many ds games don't work with it and and the ones that do have 5+ minute loading times).

Installing cfw to your 3ds has the potential to brick it and twl loader doesn't work well at the moment so your best bet would be an r4i card that you can get for around 14 dollars. I don't know any other alternatives.

TWLoader is just a frontend for nds-bootstrap, which does the SD rom loading.
nds-bootstrap is not a game emulator. It patches the roms to read from the SD card instead of the Slot-1 cartridge.

That's not why there's a black screen. @nooppee should follow this: https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting: DSi / DS functionality is broken after completing the guide

Did you really bump an old thread just to make a silly remark?
