My friend has a modded 2ds with a 64gb sd card which has tons of games in it.
But now every time he launches a game, he gets presented with a *Core 1* crash screen.

Maybe it's because he has too many games or his sd card is too big.
Also, i just realized. When I modded his 2DS, I skipped the CTRNAND LUMA step as i thought *Eh, he won't remove the sd card anyway*
Yes, I know, I am dumber than dumb, but hey, we're talking about me, who has posted 10+ threads about his broken R button.

But anyway, any help will be appriciated.
Thanks!

Ctr nand is more than just if he was to remove the sd. if the card starts to fail or isnt working. the 3ds will default to the ctr nand to look for boot.firm. otherwise youre just going to get a black screen and him whining his 3ds dont work anymore. There is a reason why its in the guide and why its not advisable to skip it.

Aswell. Can you post a screen shot or more info on what the error itself says?

Cutting corners while following 3ds.hacks.guide is never a good idea. Parts that should never be skipped (but had been skipped in the past more than once):
  • Checking SD with h2testw, F3 or F3X
  • Creating a NAND backup with GodMode9
  • Copying boot.firm to CTRNAND
Install boot.firm to CTRNAND now. Better late than never. Please upload a picture of the crash. Try starting DS and 3DS software from legit cartridge.

And please give me your 3DS for five minutes so I can replace the %$&#$* (R)-button.

*Don't worry about the R button. My red 3ds is sitting nicely in my "unused game consoles" corner*

It doesn't do anything when he presses the power button.
You may leave this thread if you want.

And before you ask, yes, he reported me that he tried everything.
-Copying the sd card contents to the pc and then formatting the sd card
-Trying to scan for errors on the sd card
-etc

Trying different battery and different charger, different SD, cleaning contacts, partial disassembly and looking for badly connected ribbon cables. There is a lot to try before giving up. But I'm not forcing you.

That's not very nice. If I'm getting on your nerves, just say so. I only wanted to be friendly and help.

No, i didn't mean that.
You were really helpful and most importantly, really patient with my issues all this time.
I thought it was ME who was getting on your nerves.
Really sorry for the torture you had all this time with me.

Thanks, i'll try to do that when I'll pay him a visit. But, can't do that now bc... y'know, bad bad virus is all over the world.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
