With all this CFW modding and such, is it still cool to buy a sky3ds flashcart instead of doing all these mods? Seems painless just to drop a cart in and play games.

Your limited to only retail 3DS dumps. No eshop only releases. No romhacks.

You'll also need a private header for games that you want to go online with.

Soo, I have a problem here, I hope someone can help me.

The background is like this : I have installed Luma3DS following https://3ds.guide/ several months ago. It works perfectly, I have enjoyed playing several installed CIA on my 3DS. Then I went to play my console games, and I haven't used my 3DS for a long time. a month or two ago, I have upgraded to 11.3. I don't have emuNAND, so I only used SysNAND. I promptly running a game, and it works. My 3DS is old 3DS XL.

Now, The problem is this, I recently turned on my 3DS, and one of the installed games told me that there are updates on games. Stupidly, I ran it. It got stuck, so I turn it off. afterwards, I turn it on again, but it took a long time. after it starts, the 3DS starts saying about the games/apps doesn't exist on E-Shop, And I should re download it again. I reset it again, and when I turned on the 3DS, many games and apps are disappearing. :cry:

Anyone knows what is happening and how can I fix these? Any help would be welcome. I've tried entering the godmode or manually update the arm9loader, but the pre-boot startup just doesn't start.

Hi everyone, i have a bit of a problem here. A few weeks ago i successfully installed Luma3ds on my N3DS and until today it just vanished. I was playing MHXX but my L button was acting quit weird, so decided to blow in it.
After i switched my N3DS back on, i suddenly see that my Firmware is Emu 9.2 now. Do i have to install everything from the beginning again?

Edit: Nvm i got it working again. But i do want know if it is possible for me to transfer my saves on Emu 9. 2 to Luma3ds?
Because when i was on Emu 9.2 i saw my old MHX data but after i got Luma working again it disappeared.

Make a emunand backup and flash it to your sysnand, if you have a9lh

I do have a9lh but how do i make a back up of my emunand? You mean like copying everything on my pc? If so then how do i flash it to my sysnand.
Sorry for being so difficult.

Migrating emuNAND
(For a more complete guide that also migrates DS and GBA saves, check the guide)

  1. Navigate to "EMUNAND VIRTUAL"
  2. Press (A) on nand.bin (ON EMUNAND VIRTUAL) to select it
  3. Select “NAND image options...”
  4. Select then select “Restore SysNAND (safe)”
  5. You will have to input a sick combo to unlock SysNAND (lvl1) writing
  6. Wait until it finishes and don't do anything stupid like running out of battery or interrupting the process.

I used gateway yes. Is that why it is happening?
Did you update while on gateway mode? If so, you wiped your a9lh installation

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
