Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Quantumcat]

So now I've modded the game from the cartridge with the trim.cia file of the game, and the modder i used gives options to save the modded file as. I chose the .cia option so I could play it using FBI, but when i see it on FBI it reads as .3ds file. I'm a bit confused as to what I'm supposed to do now.

Maybe save it as a 3ds file and use GodMode9 to convert it to a cia.

Following this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-convert-3ds-files-into-cia-11-2-0-n3ds.454960/ on step 6 it says to navigate to the ncsd image options but it doesn't give me that option. I get CIA image options.

He already has the file, he wants to convert it to cia.

I've already tried this but it doesn't give me the ncsd image options.

Did you save it as a 3ds? It might be going off the file name.

are you wanting to extact all the files from the image so you can use the virtual filesystem to do hacks?

Nevermind, I may have overlooked a few steps, sorry about that.

It says I've successfully installed the patched .cia of the game but Its not appearing on the home menu, so I can't access it.

That is with using FBI to install the cia to your console correct?

Yes, sorry forgot to mention that.

Would i be able to use the health and safety app injection method? I heard people on 11.5 shouldn't use that method.

Its a tad outdated, but you will be fine to use that method.

Is there a way to change the bgm of an official 3ds theme?

I know this has been asked a million times. But I am having a hard time selling a modded 3ds. So more then likely I'll just remove the mod and sell to a local game shop, I do not have an original backup, as when I bought the system it had remains of an old cfw install, I do have the basic backup of the bl9 to Luma (I believe or is it al9) but what steps should I take now, with Luma, godmode, rosalina etc to uninstall the cfw.

Hi,

I bought a O3DSXL running 11.4 > from someone a couple of days ago and he informed me it used to have FS etc on but he has since done a factory reset. Upon further investigation I have found there is no SD card at all in it. However, I can load the Luma3DS 8.0 boot menu by holding select on start up and also access the Rosalina menu so I'm thinking he must have installed something to the internal memory!? I am now stumped as to what steps to take next!? Can anyone advise me what to do, I have a spare SD card to hand. Basically I need to know do I still have a way into it or is it beyond saving? I have tried 3ds.guide etc but none of it is specific to my situation.

Follow https://3ds.guide/uninstall-cfw but if you installed any custom system titles (like a different sleep screen, or anything to do with the keyboard, etc) you have to return it to normal first or the console will be bricked after uninstalling.

just get a new SD card,

just get the boot.3dsx from https://github.com/fincs/new-hbmenu/releases and put it on the SD card
Download the 7z from https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases and extract the boot.firm to the root of the SDthen follow https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup

and you good to go

just get the boot.3dsx from ...

and you good to go

Thanks for getting back to me. OK, and having whatever software appears to be on the internal memory won't make any difference? As in it won't cause a conflict having Luna on the new SD card and internal memory at the same time? Also do you mean just a standard SD card as everything I was reading for 11.4 mentioned having to have a NTRboot card!?

nah it wont make a different, you will be overwriting whats on the internal memory later
you dont need a ntrboot card, since you already gave boot9strap installed, just do the steps above, and you will be perfect
