Homebrew Oothax not working for me

[PixleTyler]

Oothax is not working for me and I don't know why. I'll do my best to explain my situation, hopefully somebody here can help

Here's where I'm at;

I turn on 3ds
load Oot
press button
get black screen, says homebrew menu is ready then reverts back to 3ds home screen instead of going the different colours like I remember

I am on 11.6, I don't have CFW or anything else

I downloaded a slightly newer (I think) Oothax master file and have powersaves but can't figure out how to use it.

I have spent all evening yesterday and all morning today trying to figure this out, looking through tutorials ect but they all seem to be out of date or I'm missing something.

did you set up the SD card with the homebrew starter kit

 

[PixleTyler]

Yes, I set everything up, I had it all working smoothly.
I haven't used it for a while though so perhaps I missed an update?

Could you screenshot your sd card. I'm not too sure what's wrong, but often that clears things up.

I wasn't sure what you were after so I took a bunch of pics, uploaded to imgur /a/t7FzO & /a/yVQry

Tried to link in post but it says I'm spamming, apologies for being such a noob.

Reply to this, click the picture button next to the smiley face button, and paste your link there. That let's you directly insert an image. If that doesn't work, attach the file to the post. I'm on mobile, removing the spaces is difficult.

I mean your sd card. Put the sd card in your PC and just screenshot and send the root. Also I think you might be able to post links at 10 posts.

 

[PixleTyler]

I took picture of the SD card itself as well but I think this is what you're after.

hopefully

• Do you have the latest hax payloads? Seems you are missing them from the card.

 

[PixleTyler]

Probably not, where would I get that from?

Download the latest release and try reflashing it with power saves. The game save exploit should have the payloads included if I'm reading this right so you don't need external payloads. If that doesn't work download the starter.zip and extract that to your SD root overwrite anything already there and try again. That's all the ideas I have.

 

[PixleTyler]

I downloaded the latest boot.3dsx file you linked to but didn't know what to do with it so I tried the second method with no luck.

Could you explain how to:

reflashing it with power saves.

Sorry again for being such an utter noob.

 

[mikey420]

The boot.3dsx file goes on the root of the SD. It comes with the starter.zip pack for hbl. What I linked is the correct payloads/savegames for you to flash to your OOT3D card.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The very first entry on that link is the only build that works on 11.6. Unless there's some other unofficial build somewhere.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And if you have the power saves dongle just use it to install those payloads like you did when you first set the card up.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I don't have a tutorial handy but any that walks you through the setup with power saves will work just be sure to use the latest release of the hack.

Success!

Thank you for your help
