Which entrypoint are you going to use after the Fieldrunners downgrade? Im trying oot3dhax, but my 3ds doesnt launch anything when i open the hacked save :(



If you never had any, then dont connect it again ^^ It just expects that if you did a sysnand backup when you were connected to a ID, that you should connect back before flashing back the sysnand. But actually you can also keep your hacked 3ds like it is after format and just install all your cias again. I kind of dont want to flash too many sysnands if i dont have to.
have you used oot3dhax before, the easiest way is to just quickly mash "A" until homebrew boots

I followed Plailects downgrade guide to basically just downgrade the "NATIVE_FIRM" on firwmare 11 3DS. Its said to follow his normal guide then afterwards with any of the entry points, other than menuhax/browserhax. So i guessed i could use oot3dhax, which is basically the most convenient one for me.



Well at least for me it doesnt work so far, but maybe im just doing something wrong ^^
Was it working before you downgraded? Try to see if your homebrew files are still intact. When you load the hax save file, wait for the game to fully load and just press the A button.

pressing a before that will work and for me it seems to have higher loading % but it may just be an internal bias toward my own usings.

JK it might work as reported by @mercenary96

Hey looking for some advice here.

I bought a DSTWO+ for my New 3DSXL which is on version 11.0.0-33U which of course sucks because what I've read is being on a downgraded version is ideal...

Anyway, the DSTWO+ is pretty awful, it is very inconsistent, it rarely loads GBA or SFC emu's which is primarily what I bought the flashcart for....

Any ideas to either A) stabilize the DSTWO+ or B) recommend a different flashcart for GBA/SFC emus? I've been looking at the Gateway or the Sky3DS+ but haven't really been able to decide. The place I bought the DSTWO+ is offering an exchange if I want.

Looking forward to hearing some suggestions!

Thanks!

Downgrade, then install A9lh and use homebrew EMU. return the cart and get field runners or a hardmod (self or service) this also will unblock most 3rd party carts iirc

Alright, sounds reasonable. I haven't soldered anything since I did my Xbox 360 but I'm sure I could do this. - Any suggestions for hardmod guides? Not sure what the New 3DS XL is in comparison to older stuff. I saw a few guides but wasn't sure what is the best one, best route to hardmod the unit.

Thanks again!

HARDMOD:https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-noob-friendly-nand-dumping-2ds-3ds-3ds-xl-n3ds-n3ds-xl.414498/
if you know anyone with a 3ds with cfw u could use soft mod, but i guess hard mod isnt too bad
IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DO NOT ATTEMPT A HARDMOD, UNLESS YOU DOUBLE CHECK SOURCES TO ENSURE YOU DONT BRICK

what is the latest firmware ATM?

What happens if I dont sign in with my NNID? Will it not work?

Hello guys, I am planning to buy a 3DS XL along with a proper flash cart, could someone tell me (in a nutshell) which is the best option (considering 3DS firmware version and flashcart) ?

Thanks!

buy a 3ds lower than 10.6 and downgrade to 9.2 via homebrew, https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-2-(9.2.0-Downgrade) follow the rest of that guide steps 2-4 and you will have a9lh, and will be able to use almost all flashcarts and homebrew, as for the flash cart idk. a9lh lets you use homebrew on latest version and run unlegit cias and use rom hacks etc.

Is it possible to check the version of the firmware before buying? (on Amazon for example)

Buy brand new unopened, then it's guaranteed hackable. Especially if from a shop with a low turnover.
Great, and what about:

- the flash carts? Which is the best option to play backups?
- Do I need to install a CFW if I have a flashcart? Also, what other options will the CFW give me?

CFW unblocks most flash carts iirc and CFW can also run custom/pirated/unsigned CIA files. Cia files are what dowloaded eshop games are
CFW also allows for homebrew and can run emulators for GBA Snes NES and many more

If I am able to get CFW going on my O3DS and am able to get CIAs working, can I install CIAs of 3DS/DS/DSI all of those??
