    Hacking Is it correct that the "bootstrap" and "cia" folder has disappeared after downloading CFW?

    pretty sure I didn't remove anything though and also followed everything to the letter. Cause i was so anxious about the whole process, I wouldn't have removed anything though. On that note, is anything in the boot9strap and cia file important? auto I think I might have gotten it. Looking at...

    Hacking Is it correct that the "bootstrap" and "cia" folder has disappeared after downloading CFW?

    Everything was good after downloading cfw, but I realised that the "boot9strap" and "cias" folders from the first screenshot from this page https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup is now gone. Is this correct? Or did I do something wrong? I did manage to install cfw on my 2ds successfully...

    Hacking What do I do after installing CFW on my r4i Gold 3ds+?

    Sorry, but I couldn't find instructions pertaining to this flashcart specifically regarding what to do after I have installed CFW. There's a portion at the bottom of the "Installing boot9strap" page regarding what to do, if I want to retain back the original function of the flashcart (play DS...

    Hacking Help and clarification required regarding game sizes and SD card sizes

    I see, I'm not very familiar with the process, but basically it is done through the 2 / 3ds right? I'll probably have to go along with it and figure it out when I finally manage to cfw it, been sitting on it for too long.

    Hacking Help and clarification required regarding game sizes and SD card sizes

    Thank you for the detailed response. Can I just check something in regards to your reply for 2? Am I correct to say that DS roms are usually downloaded over the computer, while 3DS roms are downloaded using the DS using freeshop?

    Hacking Any restrictions / recommendations on SD card brand for R4i Gold 3DS+ size or brand?

    I see, thanks for the clear response! I have a couple of follow-up questions. Hope you can answer them too. 1) From this particular thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/recommended-micro-sd-size-for-r4i-card.495312/, it seems that 64gb might not be supported. Granted, there's quite a bit of...

    Hacking Help and clarification required regarding game sizes and SD card sizes

    So, this is more of a multi-part question. 1) There's 2 SD cards, right? 1 in the system and 1 in the flashcart. Is it true that the flashcart SD card is to store all the DS and 2DS games, and the SD card in the system is to store the 3DS games? 2) Roughly speaking, what is the size of each DS...

    Hacking Any restrictions / recommendations on SD card brand for R4i Gold 3DS+ size or brand?

    I actually have a 64Gb samsung evo SD card, but I'm thinking that might be a bit overkill, so I decided to replace it with a Strontium 16Gb SD card. Not a very avid gamer, so I probably won't be downloading 100 games at one shot, it's a device for me to relax every now and then. Will 16Gb be...

    Hacking Where are the games stored + What size SD cards should I get?

    So just to clarify, the Nintendo 3DS folder meaning the SD card that goes straight into the system yes? In that case, 32gb / 64gb for system, and 16gb for flashcart should be a good size? How about the brand's? Are there any brands that work better / not as well? I heard SanDisk and Kingston...

    Hacking Where are the games stored + What size SD cards should I get?

    So as the thread title states, this is more of a two-part question. After I cfw my nintendo 2ds xl, where are the games stored? I'm using the r4i gold 3ds+ so I understand that the ds games will be stored on there? In that case, how about the 3ds games? Are they stored on the system sd card...

    Hacking Confused with procedure to flash CFW for N2DS XL

    I see that the backup of sysnand is right at the back, under finalizing setup. However, it seems a bit pointless to me. If I screwed up and bricked my system before this point, what is the point of having the option of backup of sysnand if I can't even get to this part? Also, right at the...

    Hacking Confused with procedure to flash CFW for N2DS XL

    In other words, I should just swap the two? 4gb for the flashcart to hold the ds games (which I believe are smaller in size), and 32 gb for the device itself for the 3ds games? If I want to transfer over, I just need to transfer over everything from the 4gb card to the 32gb card yeah? Should I...

    Hacking Confused with procedure to flash CFW for N2DS XL

    Yep, turns out I was just confused. I see that my 2ds sd card is 4gb. How many games from freeshop can I fit, after downloading all the cfw stuff? I most probably don't see myself using the ds for anything else other than freeshop games, except maybe trying out some themes etc. Secondly, and...

    Hacking Confused with procedure to flash CFW for N2DS XL

    Sry, but I'm not too experienced in this area. Mind explaining to me what you mean by "That's only used for flashing the flashcard"? Also, I would like to follow the steps as far as possible, because I don't want to brick the system. auto Ok wait, I think I get what you mean. I think the...

    Hacking Confused with procedure to flash CFW for N2DS XL

    The page that I saw the instructions from is here: https://3ds.hacks.guide/flashing-ntrboot-(3ds-single-system) Under section 1 (Prep work), it says 2.Insert your flashcart’s SD card into your computer

    Hacking Confused with procedure to flash CFW for N2DS XL

    So I know that video tutorials are NOT the way to go, but I just wanted to be sure and I was confused at the very first step due to the differing instructions from 3ds.guide. 3ds.guide states that you should copy the necessary files onto the flashcart SD card, whereas the video's instructions...

    Hacking Can powersaves pro be used with flashcarts or must you have the original cartridge?

    Firstly just to satisfy my curiosity. Secondly because apparently 3ds games don't work the same way as ds, meaning you can't input a code for the cheat to work. Something about how the code for 3ds games interact with the system and is ever-changing. Meaning the only option is powersaves. But...
