I see that there is a new official firmware version is out. I am on 11.3 I think and I am using Luma CFW. What happens if I upgrade to 11.4? How do I do that if it is safe?

If you don't use Homebrew Launcher or NTR streaming, just update trough settings

I have Homebrew Launcher on my Home menu, but I never start it. I think I installed it while following the 3ds.guide a few weeks ago. Should I try or should I stick to the old firmware?

I'm Currently a flashcart user (R4i Revolution) on a O3DS with 3.0.0-6U and would like to move to cfw.

Still trying to grasp everything while looking over 'The Guide' and just want to be cautious and make sure I'm going about this in the wisest way before I proceed. My goal is to use it for games while preventing risk from future system updates and maybe try some emulators.

A. I am thinking that my first step should be to cart update to 4.5 (perhaps Luigi's Mansion) to follow that version's SafeCTRTransfer (Browser) guide. Is there any reason I might want to consider a different route?

B. I'm unclear on a few things about the Homebrew Launcher:
  1. Is it installed before or after the arm9loaderhax and Luma3DS setup?
  2. The main Get Started page states that a cart update would require an 'alternate method of entering the Homebrew Launcher'. Yet the all the methods on the linked page (ie Ninjhax 2) seem to require ver 9.0.0-x and higher. I didn't see where in the process the fw updates to 9.x
  3. At the bottom of the 'Homebrew Launcher (altenative)' page, it has you proceed to SafeCRTTransfer(Homebrew Transfer). That that procedue includes Soundhax, but doesn't a cart update prevent using Soundhax?

Any advice, reassurance or clarification is appreciated. Thanks.

If you cart update to 4.5 you'll not use homebrew launcher, but the 3ds browser to proceed to safectrtransfer.

Ask in the JKSM thread, not here. And if you don't get answered, don't keep asking your question. Someone will answer you eventually. Have patience. And stop double posting.

Have you booted the game at least once before trying to restore. AFAIK it needs to have created extra data for JKSM to be able to restore it.

Hello there, how can I restore a game save from a ROM played on a Gateway into a cia in Luma ?

I installed Luma with A9LH on my o3ds but was playing with a Gateway before using roms.

How can I transfer the old rom saves into cia games now ?

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
