Ok. So I just screwed up my new 3ds XL trying to get steelhax to work like it used to before what I presume was an update caused failure. I had installed the subwars home brew launcher for ver. 11.8 (I think) via this () method and accessed it once to make sure it worked.
It did indeed work and it came with all the stuff I needed like jksm and the free store etc.
Then, when I needed it. I launched it again and found it just crashed. Realizing my 3ds updated while I wasn’t looking I reinstalled the system for 11.9. I opened it, saw none of the previous programs (just the steelhax installer). I tried installing it, and it just failed.
So I tried installing FBI and JKSM manually. They appeared in the home brew menu and also promptly crash when I try to open them.
Following that I went through a series of attempts to bring my 3ds back to it’s pre update state and ended up ruining it (long story).
Now I have a new one and I need to know three things:
1. What’s the best home brew launcher to install? I prefer subwars/steelhax because it actually came with the programs I wanted (JKSM, FBI, Free store etc.) but now when I install it all it has in it’s menu is the steelhax installer that fails when I launch it!!! What happened? Did I somehow mis-remember what I installed?
1. I really want a launcher that has those things pre installed. I was never able to get FBI or JKSM installed and working manually. They worked when they were installed as part of the sub wars “package” though. Is there a launch system that comes packaged with JKSM, FBI, the free store etc? What one should I use?
2. If an update occurs and wrecks the launcher I’m using will de-updating to the version it worked for fix the problem? That is can I just leave the home brew the same and just use some de-update system to return it to the way it was before?
3. Is it possible to completely back up my 3ds? Top to bottom so I can just use a saved copy of everything on the system like a system image on a PC to go back to if something doesn’t work.
If any of you are just using home brew to use the basic JKSM/free store stuff and know an easy reliable way to do it I would love your imput.
I’m kind of desperate now since I have been fooling around with this problem for mo this with no resolution. I really just want to use JKSM for God’s sake! But so far it’s been a no go.
Sorry this is a long question but please help. I just can’t seem to get this right.
