Homebrew Installing boot9strap using DSiWare

[FallenApex]

So I've been trying to do this for a while now, and I am just bad at it! I have Zelda: Four Swords DSiWare (US), I have Sudoku DSiWare, I have two New 3DS XL`s. I've downloaded all the files necessary for part 1, and then when it says to hold Start and and press Home, it always brings up the home page; always. Please help me.

Does either one of these systems have cfw on it right now or are they both stock systems?

 

[FallenApex]

The one with all my stuff on it does not have CFW. The other 3DS is brand new.

You must hsve a 3DS that already has CFW to do the DSiWare method

 

[FallenApex]

OK thanks! I'm gonna try that then.

Is CFW gotten by installing boot9strap?

Is CFW gotten by installing boot9strap?

Yes. You'll have to have followed the guide on at least one of the consoles. To install CFW for free it will have to be on 11.3 or less.

 

[FallenApex]

So since they are both at 11.6 is this now impossible?

You can use ntrboot. Requires a compatible DS flashcart. See https://3ds.guide/ntrboot

You're back to square one if you have 2 3ds consoles. One of them needs to be "hacked" in order to transfer a "hacked" game over to the original 3ds. Your best bet is to use ntrboot, which involves buying a $20 flashcart in order to flash b9s to your console. If you want a link to where you can get them, follow the ad for nds-card.com on this page. Here's a compatibility list for the flashcarts:

Alright, so I have the R4iSDHC Gold Pro 20XX and I tried putting an NDS on it; started up my New 3DS XL and normally when I click on the "Time Bomb" icon it'll show the Xbox controller and such. This time, blank white screens. I had to shut down the system. Any ideas?

 

[Quantumcat]

Do you have the kernel files for it?

 

[FallenApex]

I do, and now its working! Thanks everyone!

Alright, so I've done all of section one of ntrboot, no problem. Section 2 tells me to hold start button when the 3DS is starting, and my 3DS still just starts normally. What am I doing wrong?

If you hold Select on boot do you see the Luma config screen? And are you holding the button from before pressing power (or else you may be pressing it too late)?

 

[FallenApex]

I just tried holding Select the whole time, got nothing. Tried Start and Select, got nothing. And I'm holding these buttons before I push Home button and waiting to see what happens.

Not home button, power button. Turn your console off. Hold the button. Press the power button while still holding the other button.

 

[FallenApex]

Sorry, that's what I meant. I almost never push the Home button. I just accidentally called the Power button the Home button.

Same.

 

[FallenApex]

Its still not working though?
