Homebrew I cant seem to get homebrew to show apps.

[Xander_eight]

I don't know how to load homebrew apps on my ds. i have installed cia files and that's about it.

 

[AiP24]

question 1: a ds or 3ds
question 2: what did you install
question 3: how did you install it
edit - what is your goal? homebrew, or installing apps?

 

[Xander_eight]

It is a 3ds (2ds xl) And I used the r4 card way. I want to run apps inside of the homebrew apps, but i can't seem to see any except FBI, even when i put 3dsx files on my sd cards root.

My final goal is to play apps inside of the homebrew application. like I can on my wii.

install the homebrew launcher cia app (https://gbatemp.net/threads/release...loader-for-cfw-users-cia-hbl-launcher.404151/), Open the luma menu, press misc options, and set hb title to homebrew launcher loader(make sure you'r on home menu). Then put 3dsx and smdh files inside of folder "3ds"
IMPORTANT EDIT - download the boot.3dsx thing from https://github.com/fincs/new-hbmenu/releases and put it on root

This aint a wii. thats gonna be the first thing to accept. You will launch either the homebrew launcher or the rosalina menu to get to the homebrew apps. and from there it will list each app that you can use. .3dsx apps will not been ones that will launch straight from home menu.

Homebrew applications go in the /3ds/ folder, not the root.

I have instructions in my previous post, and he doesn't seem to have the homebrew launcher cia installed

that's where I put them. what are the homebrew extensions are they .3dsx or something like that?

Rosalina is recommended instead to avoid bans, albeit this kind of ban is unlikely.

Yes, but you need an access point to run them. They won't appear on the home menu, you have to install the loader in my previous post and put boot.3dsx from the post on the root

what, this?:

Yes. The May 2017 banwave was likely caused by custom titles being detected, so they are not recommended. One can reduce one's risk by disabling certain settings, but the best protection is to avoid custom titles entirely.

That all being said, that kind of banwave is unlikely to happen again.

 

[AiP24]

what about the homebrew launcher cia?
edit - posted late, what do you mean by rosalina?

 

[Lacius]

I already have boot.3dsx on my sd card

What happens when you boot Rosalina?

 

[Xander_eight]

The guide does tell you to install it. I disagree.

Well, to each his own I guess, but the chance of another banwave is highly unlikely since the 3ds is kinda almost dead to Nintendo already
