So while googling, I found these and it is kinda the same problem I am having right now, BUT WORSE.

I do NOT have a sysnand_original.bin backup, is there something I can do? I cant keep going and I do not want to do something stupid that may brick the console.

Please help.

I got .cia files with an asterisk at the end (name.cia*). What does this mean?

I'm sure you guys have probably gotten this question a lot, but I'm having the issue on Luma3ds where it says an update is required to go online even though I'm on 11.0. I read on another thread that I should update to the "nightly build" but what exactly does that mean? The thread didn't have any explanation nor did it say where I could find it and how I would update it.

I'm confused, in section II of Part 4, it told me to boot into redNAND, then open PlaiSysUpdater. If I remember correctly, PlaiSysUpdater is available in the home menu. If something goes wrong in the downgrade, it said to open OTP helper in HBL. How is that possible if you're in the home menu?

I am curious on what is this Title ID: 00400300000C602
CTR-N-HAAJ and it's icon is AOC with a red outline like DevMen.

"mint" JPN, or the eShop applet that appears inside games.

1. I hear that there are custom firmwares and hacking methods that do not use flashcards at all. Do these methods allow you to play backups, or are they only good for homebrews? Homebrew and backups
2. If these methods allow you to play backups, is there any difference in compatibility? I mean why would people even buy flashcards otherwise? To be able to go online without installing bad tickets, and/or to not reach your home menu limit. Aside from that, since the softmods were released, people do not tend to buy flashcards.
3. Is there any advantage of using a flashcard over applying a non-flashcard hack? Some believe that not having to modify your system (whether soft or not) is advantage enough. Some will say otherwise.
4. I believe that the hacks are available for certain official firmwares only (Below 9.0 or 9.2.0 or something). Is 2DS NWSMB2 edition hackable? You didn't mention your system version, so how would I be able to answer that? Definitely yes with a hardmod, no idea about softmods until you give us more info.
5. Is there any significant drawback of using a 2ds compared to a 3ds (your personal opinion, battery, shape, lack of pro pad support, etc...) In my opinion, the drawbacks are: small, shape, battery. Pro pad support only matters in a few games (Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Majora's Mask, etc). I just don't like the 2DS.
6. If a non-flashcard hack is possible. Do I need any other hardware to perform the steps? How large are the backups? Should I get a new sd card with more Again, you failed to let me know your system version. I refer you to the definitive (new)2/3DS/XL guide by Plailect: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

Depending on your system software version, you may need an additional game to hack it (such as Cubic Ninja, OoT with save dongle, Smash Bros, etc), or you may need to hardmod your system to do a successful NAND dump and then inject an older native firm. It is all outlined in Plailect's guide.

A9LH + Luma3DS + LumaUpdater is the best way to go.

What he said^^^

Couldn't have put it better myself. I used the A9lh method and now I am playing my 3ds backups with ease. Just finished updating my o3ds to 9.2 so soon enough I will have two modded 3ds's.

Probably a simply question, but I cannot find a clear answer yet.

My N3DS is on 9.5.0-23U emunand and gateway. Can GW currently use any higher emunand update? And if so is there any benefit to updating to a more recent FW?

All I use my N3DS for is install games via cia and play them so all I'm really interested in is full game support for games released currently and future.

replace Launcher.dat with a newer one from Gateway's website. then you can update to the latest in EmuNAND, which is 11.0.0-33 right now. the main benefit is being able to use online services at all(e.g. friends list, online gameplay).

if you only use CIA-form games and not .3ds ROMs with the red card, it may be suggested to switch away from using Gateway.

Why move away from GW and to what?

do you use the red card for ROMs, or just install games in CIA format? if you only use CIAs, or want to move to just those, you can move to another custom firmware like Luma3DS, which means you won't need to keep any kind of flash cart inserted in the console to use EmuNAND. it also has a few more features than Gateway, such as supporting GBA/DSi, ability to force 804MHz clock speed at all times without NTR CFW, more complete signature checks(Gateway doesn't patch enough of them out), etc...

Hmm, maybe I'll give it or another CFW a look. Since GW has always worked since I had a O3DS I just never had a need to use anything else. GBA/DS support would be nice to have I guess.

Would transferring over from GW to something like luma3ds be easy, mostly with game saves?

it's as easy as setting up Luma3DS and using it, and everything will already be there. it uses the same EmuNAND.

if you use ROMs with the Gateway red card, you'll need to dump their saves first, install a digital/CIA version of the game and restore it. do you use any of these?

I did, but I moved over to cias so all my saves should be for the cia installs I have. Are there any other CFW options or is luma3ds considered the best at the moment?

And also is I do move to CFW from GW, should I update my emunand before or after moving to luma3ds/CFW? I just backed up my 9.5 emunand and I'm ready to upgrade my emunand now.

Luma3DS is considered the best one to go to right now. you can update whenever, but probably better after you switch.

OK, well at this point I guess I should just move over to lumna3ds and give that a shot.

Looking at the github links you posted I'm not sure how to install it. Is there any guide on going from GW to Luma? I found a thread on here where it was stated that going from a fresh SD card is recommended. Is that necessary?

what do you currently use to get into GW mode (DS profile, menuhax, etc)?

DS profile. So far I've backed up my emunand with "emunand tool", not emunand9.

Reading around I found this post https://gbatemp.net/threads/switching-to-a9lh-from-gw.427894/#post-6379078. So if I backup my emunand and all the files on my SD card I shouldn't lose anything? Would I lost my cia installs?

you don't need to format the SD card(for now, at least).

I'm going to bring this to a conversation to not spam the thread...

I have two consoles (N3DSXL not bought yet):

O3DS, SysNAND 9.2, EmuNAND rxTools 11.0.0-33U
N3DSXL, SysNAND Unknown, EmuNAND AuReiNand 11.0.0-33U with A9LH

Is it possible for me to boot into EmuNAND on both the O3DS and N3DSXL and perform a System Transfer? If so, will installed CIAs like FBI and SDF transfer over and work as well? Thanks!
