Makes sense, thanks! Is there a way to know that i'm successfully in EmuNAND for the first time after installing? For example, if I boot into Cakes with the enable EmuNAND patch selected and have separated sysNAND and EmuNAND, am I definitely in EmuNAND?
The easiest way is to power the console off, take the SD card out, boot the console into the homemenu, put the SD card back in and set a theme. Then you'll easily be able to tell
Once I successfully downgrade my n3ds, If I installed Homebrew *hax 2.5 using the OotHax method can I skip steps 3 and 4 and proceed right along with step 5?
I may just go ahead and choose Cakes. I don't really know the differences in CFW. All I really want to do is continue using Homebrew Apps and learn more about running eShop content as well as DSi Ware like I mentioned. I would basically boot Cakes CFW from Homebrew correct?

If you like, yes you can boot Cakes from the homebrew menu and you could skip those steps, yes
I've managed to confuse myself further. I've somehow set things up so that:
- Boot without SD card, no theme
- Boot with SD card, red theme (EmuNAND?)
- Boot into gridloader through menuhax (holding L during startup), launch CakesFW with emunand enabled patch, blue theme (still EmuNAND?)
- Boot without SD card, no theme
- Boot with SD card, red theme (EmuNAND?)
- Boot into gridloader through menuhax (holding L during startup), launch CakesFW with emunand enabled patch, blue theme (still EmuNAND?)
Since the theme is stored on the SD card when you boot with it out it won't give you a theme... so the red theme is most likely sysNAND and booted through gridlauncher is probably emuNAND
If I may offer another thing one can do to tell the difference between emunand and sysnand on Cakes: Change the names of your profile in the System Options with no SD card in. Like I put my name in as Sysnand and left my Emunand to my standard name. Then you can just look at the settings to confirm if you're on emunand by the profile name and then move on up updating safely.
A quick question of my own though, is there a simple region free solution for Cakes?

you can either make your CIAs region free or just use freemultipatcher
freemultipatcher does require a restart each time you restart the console however
Thanks, I knew I'd be missing a straight forward solution for that and there it is. Freemultipatcher seems like the simpler choice for my interests.you can either make your CIAs region free or just use freemultipatcher
You can update the Gateway Launcher loading for n3ds with the new GW.3dsx from gateway. No cubic ninja or gw card needed. Being it a homebrew you can create emunand even before you set up themehax so you can skip the FBI cia installing part for DSiware/vc support and the themehax setup to do them after unlinking. That speeds the setup very much, and leaves a pristine unlinked sysnand with themehax for booting your emunand cfw of choice.
Edit: Or you know... bypass gateway entirely using EmuNAND9Tool. No GW software, cubic ninja or any card needed. Just browserhax and hbl.

- ''for rxTools go to http://launch.rxtools.net it will load, congrats!''
Go stuck at this, Do I have to put the rxtools folder anywhere on the SD card? Because I've been trying but it won't start anything after ''loading rxtools.dat''
This is the old url, there is another one for the new rxtools. I don't know where it is right now.
https://dukesrg.github.io/?rxTools/sys/code.bin
this one?
edit: the ''old'' link worked for my friend 3 days ago.

Yup that was the one. Good find. just make sure your code.bin is at /rxTools/sys/code.bin
Is there any specific reason for loading rxtools with the browser? why not menuhax?

So, yeah, that's the other thing, I downloaded the rxtools but in the tutorial I didn't find any line saying where should I put it, is it at the root of the SD?
