    Hacking Question regarding CTRnand

    CTRnand is the NAND chip of your console. With newer versions of a9lh you can now have Luma installed to it as a fallback for not having a working SD card inserted or in place of installing Luma to the SD card altogether (I personally wouldn't recommend this, tbh). It is a great way to make...

    Homebrew Unable to play games.Error "SD card removed"

    I was referring to DLC or updates for the games and having possibly accidentally installed just those for said games instead of the games themselves. Home menu DLC won't cause this issue (but will cause another if more than 100 different themes are installed) because you already have the main...

    Homebrew Unable to play games.Error "SD card removed"

    This could be totally wrong, but have you checked to make sure that you haven't downloaded just DLC or update files? I once did this myself by accident via freeshop and it produced the exact same results I'm seeing here.

    Hacking Porting Android to 3DS?

    Guys, I want to run the original MacOS on my Sega Genesis. It and the original Macintosh use the same processor, so obviously it must be easy. In no way is there a lack of practicality and/or needed system resources, right? :P

    Hacking problems with arm9loaderhax

    This sounds like a fake/bootleg SD card. Those will lie and report that they have a certain amount of space, but actually hold much less. In those cases, devices such as the 3DS will think there is a ton of space and then run into a brick wall (so to speak) when the actual memory is used up.

    Homebrew (Discussion) How long were you in the 3DS hacking community for?

    My first taste of the 3DS homebrew scene was when a way to temporarily inject a ROM into a VC game via the browser was discovered. (I just couldn't resist playing Pokemon Crystal instead of Wario Land 3). I don't think the homebrew launcher was even a thing quite just yet.

    Homebrew I accidently screwed up with CHMM

    Hold L + R + B + Down as the system boots up. (and should you have luma, do this after it looks for button combos for alternate payloads. The timing can be tricky.) This should wipe your theme management data.

    Hacking An Error messaged popped up and told me to shut off the N3ds, now I get a black screen.. help?

    Forgive me if I missed someone suggest this, but your issue might be a home menu management data error. Try holding L+ R + B + Down during startup and see if it prompts for a home menu reset. Alternatively, if you have luma installed to sysnand, you can try booting without the SD card in...

    Homebrew Failed to apply 1 Firm patch(es)?

    I don't want to sound mean spirited or judgemental, but I feel as if people who get stumped by this kind of issue should not be using Luma nightlies. No offense. I'm just sayin'.

    Homebrew Update 11.1 and Homebrew

    Seeing as you are running custom firmware, your best option is to install the homebrew launcher loader. https://github.com/yellows8/hblauncher_loader/releases This is a cia for the hbl that will help keep you from being reliant on entrypoints other than your cfw itself.

    Homebrew Should it take hours to install a CIA in FBI?

    I'll just add to make the process even clearer in case whatever is used to format the card doesn't default to this, that you need to make sure you format it as fat32 (I recommend using 64k clusters). This should clear up any filesystem issues if that happens to be related to your problems at...

    Hacking Easiest Way To Install A9LH on 10.6?

    Since you already have a hacked 3DS, I recommend getting the Nintendo Selects version of OoT. Last I checked, it was the cheapest option by far if you already have a means of installing OoTHax. I personally was in the same situation and used OoTHax to downgrade and it worked flawlessly. Some...

    Hacking [REQUEST] A CFW That Can Run 2.1.0

    Among other things (like what has been mentioned), there is one huge issue with this. 2.1 is an O3DS firmware. And as such, it does not even have an arm9loader. Without an arm9loader, a9lh is impossible (obviously). 8.x is used because that is the oldest N3DS firm and it happens to be the...
