Does Ntrboothax + Boot9Strap install require formatting or otherwise erasing of 3DS system or SD personal data?
Hi there , been using a sky3ds card for some time now , but want to install cfw i have so far managed to get to install godmode9 & get as far as https://3ds.guide/finalizing-setup Section II , i am curently on firmware 10.1.0-20E & was just wondering if i need to do the CTRTransfer at all?, this is a fresh new install so i have never tried this before , or do i skip that part first and continue to update? also is this safe to update before i finish installing everything else and finishing the guide, sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure i am doing everything right many thx
you didn't downgrade to 2.1, and you don't have an emunand, so don't do CTRTransfer/Move EmuNAND. do update like it tells you.
Wassup people, I have a "new" 3DS and my friend gave me a flashcart. Can I use this on the latest 3DS/2DS etc version, can I run 3DS roms on it and is there a guide for newbies or beginners on how to install things on it to work? The flash cart is a R4i 3DS Gold without the RTS.
Many thx pal, I thought that , was just unsure about the updating bit as i heard the new update stops me from continuing finishing installing the rest of the files. also is it possible to skip the update (just curious incase i want to use my sky3ds card again) appreciate the help btw!!
The flashcart can be used to play old ds games
For 3ds games:
What is your firmware version. If it's 11.3 or lower you can follow https://3ds.guide
If it's 11.4 or higher it depends on what url is written on the card

Does that inc the older sky3ds version as that is the one i have , reason i stopped using it could not play any newish titles thx
Sky3DS is never affected by system version. there is no reason to not update in this case.
Does Anemone work with CakesFW and Cosmo3DS? Has Doodlebomb been updated to work with swapdoodle versions 1.1.2+ ?

You can use it to install CFW. See https://3ds.guide/ntrboot
If you're on 11.3 or less there's other ways that don't involve the flashcart but to be honest using the flashcart is easier than all of those ways I think (just that some people might not already own one).

So if I have already updated to 11.6.0 prior to even reading about luma, there is no way I can install cfw without another 3ds? I don't fell like buying another 3ds so I will probably just wait and see. Is it possible that 11.6 will be soon hackable?

@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.+1 -

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

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@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."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@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:
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
