Hello guys.

I've got a n3ds xl with ReiNand and I'm trying to install oot3dhax on my OOT cartdridge for another o3ds xl which is in original 10.6 (latest) FW.

Now, when I run oot3dhax-installer from HB everything seems to be ok, I got the file written successfully message and whatnot. But when I start the game from the homescreen, all three save files are empty.

Anybody knows what could I be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: don't do drugs, and over all things, don't use Majora's Mask insead of Ocarina of Time.

Assuming when you start the program, it recognizes the game version and says it is hackable? (aka: not using nintendo select version) Was the game originally empty or did you erase save files?

picture of the installer screen when ended pleade.

Here's a link to the final screen (the position of the messages is a bit scrambled).

Hmmm... it doesn't specifically say that it is hackable anywhere. I put a dummy CIA somewhere to try and see what happens when you select an invalid title and it returned "Failed to install /save00.bin".

When I install the save file on an uncleared state, trying to start a new file in the same slot will trigger a Power Down To Reset error, that's why I think that something is indeed being written. Weird.

My OOT isn't select, it's pretty old. It had a single file and the first time I tried I deleted the game data. After that it's been test after test, always clearing data and sometimes tyring without.

Make a new profile then install the hax over it, the problem is likely since there's nothing to have hax installed over with...

How old is your oothax installer? I dunno if he ever updates it, but you might want to try redownloading the homebrew starter pack because it does get new things added to it. I just got the OOT re-release and I made sure to update the starter pack before I tried OOTHAX and it worked first try. Also, make sure you have boot.3dsx on the root of your SD card... should be the one from the homebrew launcher files of course.

Didn't work, the old profile is still there :/

Hmmm... I was using the one in this repo, it seemed to be the latest updated one.

Now I'm trying the starter's one (sploit_installer-oot3dhax), which has a different icon, and I'm getting a Missing Target Title error :s

UPDATE: ok, this is pretty stupid on its own, so in a few hours I'm going to delete this post.

I was using Majora's Mask instead of Ocarina of Time. There, I said it.
What a bro! I would've been like. "Oh wow! It worked! Thanks to everyone who helped"! You da real man 4 stating outright that you were being a little stupid. :bow:

Not a joke btw. I'm legit being serious. Nice job.

It would have been different if I had spent a dime on the game, luckily I have OOT as well :P

FUCK.

Has anyone tried the selects version? I'm assuming it's patched. Meaning the physical cart mostly. I have the old version. I wanna buy another copy so I can actually play the game. Lol. That has nothing to do with my question btw.

I saw a Reddit top post yesterday, it's not. If the whole batch is the same, then it's safe to say it's exploitable.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
