no, you need custom firmware. if you can't get that, you're just out of luck
I could, but I'm afraid I might brick my console. When I was rrading the instructions for CFW, it said that putting my 3ds to sleep mode might brick it. That thought terrified me.

You're out of luck then, because 11.3 can't be hacked yet. As others have said, wait for sighax. Sleep mode only causes your n3ds to brick while on 2.1 firmware. To answer the first question: Installing tik files without CFW is impossible.

Thank you. And so the wait begins.

afaik people are just theorizing that it will work on any firmware with a hardmod.
Pretty sure sighax needed a hardmod anyway for non-hacked consoles. I may be wrong.
A hardmod is gonna cost a decent amount unless you do it yourself.
Hmm, I was under the impression that a hardmod was only able to downgrade the NFIRM, hence why people didn't just downgrade the whole firmware with the hardmod.

Yea, sure, like I'm paying 90 BUCKS.
You're likely to be out of luck forever if you're not willing to spend money. If sighax gets released without any new free arm9 exploit, then you would have these options to install it:
1. Buy another exploitable 3DS, buy a DSiWare game from the eShop, transfer, and use DSiWarehax on the 11.3 console
2. Pay someone ~$50 to do a hardmod, plus postage each way
3. Try and do a hardmod yourself, you'd have to buy the tools and equipment (~$30?), plus you risk frying your console or damaging it (eg the WiFi card or some buttons or a screen).

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
