I have an old 3Ds XL that got FC banned a while back. Before I knew it got banned I deleted the save data for the 3DS to start over. I cannot install Luma or any CFW because I have no FC (it just comes up at ????-????-????) . I saw there was a way to unban the 3DS FC but it was very risky to try and do that method. Does anybody have safe ways you unban your FC? Thanks!

You got NTRboothax now which you will need to install CFW in order to get at the files needed to look at unbanning your console.

Do you have CFW or homebrew on this console you mentioned here?

You can probably get your LFCS from that console using a local friend code swap using seedstarter.
edit: Lone Wolf seems to say you already have ntrboot, is that true?

I have homebrew on that console but it's steelhax which i'm not sure will work. I am afraid to add CFW to that certain console because it's my main console and I don't want to break it. I don't believe I have ever installed ntrboot. I have only ever installed Luma3DS and NTR CFW.

edit: I'm not sure if the NTR CFW app and ntrboot are the same thing? Either way, I don't have NTR CFW anymore.

Steelhax is good enough. Try to do a local friend code swap between those two consoles. Then run seedstarter on the steelhax console and press B.
Get seedstarter.3dsx here:

It'd probably be better to go to PMs if you wish to continue.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
