So my touchscreen has no touch functionally anymore, is there anyway to format the 3ds without using touch? Can I use Godmode9 maybe?

OK, so the real question is after I use TinyFormat, can I set up the 3DS without having to touch the touchscreen? I can still see what is on the touchscreen, it just has no touch functionally.

Nope, if you do a format you won't be able to use the 3DS until you fix the touchscreen because the language selection and setting the date and time all requires touching the buttons on the screen.

How urgent is it? I could make a 3DS formatter which completes the initial setup on its own after format.
Not urgent, just a little annoyed that I broke it. I was trying to clean the dpad because it was sticking, and when I took it apart I broke the touch screen ribbon. If you would make that formatter that would be awesome!

This payload will format your 3DS like TinyFormat would, but also tries to bypass the first time setup.

I don't know if this works or not because I don't have enough time to test this, but here, try it: https://puu.sh/AvZRA/250b260fd3.zip

If it prints any non-zero error code then DO NOT REBOOT! Tell me what it printed even if it succeeded :)

So it formatted, but now it's stuck at the setup screen.

Format result: 00000000

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
