  • Try to recover whatever you can off your SD card with Recuva.
  • Reformat the card in Windows as FAT32 and 32 KB.
  • SUPER IMPORTANT: Check the card does not have bad sectors and is not FAKE using H2testw. Do a full Write + verify test.
  • If everything checks out, whatever you could recover back onto the card and add back/replace CFW files: https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup

Should've stayed on 11.6 b9s
Rosalina has an easily accessible menu, triggered by pressing L+Down+Select (Miscellaneous options > Switch the hb. title to the current app). Simply launch any title, use that option, close the title ; the next time you launch that title, it will run boot.3dsx.
you need boot.3dsx in sd root and hb fbi to install fbi cia.

Back up everything from on your card.

What you want to do is restart from scratch with a clean slate SD card. The card has to be checked in H2testw to ensure it'll give you a trouble-free setup, or else you'll continually find your saves and games getting corrupted. If you got bunked hardware, you'll get garbled data.

Follow the 3ds.hack.guide in recreating a barebone custom firmware build. You'll have to inject Homebrew Launcher into Download Play using Rosalina Menu. Once you know you got CFW working again, try copying back everything from your previous setup except the CFW parts like luma / gm9 / boot.3dsx / boot.firm, etc.

payload to run the homebrew launcher is a binary file specific to your firmware version

    Biomutant looks cool tho, may have to try that

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
