Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Herobroski]

Just curious... I accidentally opened the Nintendo DS menu, and because of it, I have to redo the blue card setup on my 3ds again. When I started the blue card on my 3ds, it gave my a sd tf card error. Note that my microsd card used for the blue card was 64 gb, and it was in exfat. My sd card is 4gb and it is set at FAT32. What am I doing wrong?
Problem solved.

Question: Should I update from 6.3.0-12U to the latest firmware? I've all but given up on Gateway doing anything for us with newer firmwares and thinking I may as well hunt down an older firmware new 3DS. That was my last resort but now it seems it's my only option.

The unreleased exploit by smea is exploitable on 6.X based on the current information. There is no guarantee for the 7.x exploit so far.

 

[rayword45]

Well, thank you. You just taught me something new and prevented me from updating.

How can I use my Acekard 2i and Gateway simultaneously without running the installer again and again?

You can't.
The nature of the exploit means that running any ds mode software will reset the exploit.
So grin and bear it until someone comes up with a better exploit.

Finally my gateway arrived, and soon a hardware mod will be installed on my 3ds xl. Some thinking unveiled another question i couldn´t yet solve by myself.

i do know that your own dumps can work online if renamed to 3dz. I also know that if you take a scene dump, you can make it work online by editig the rom file and providing the missing stuff like a proper header and ID. But the question is - if i was to play Mario Kart online for example. I have the retail 1.0 cartridge and successfully dumped both the game and its save to microSD / SD respectively. it does work, my savegame is being recognized by the game. But if i were to play online, i´d need to download the patch. emuNAND doesnt allow access to eshop yet, but i´d be able to use my hardware mod to get the patch for my retail game, then downgrade back to 4.x and use my dumped 7.2 nand as emunand. Thus, i have the update for the game. Now what about games i dont have the retail cartridge availiable? A friend of mine currently borrowed my Pokemon X. I have a 3dz dump of it. But i don´t have downloaded the patches yet. Is there a way to download a patch for a game you don´t have in physical form? or do i have to wait until weekend until i get my PokeX cartridge back?

 

[hippy dave]

Yeah you should be able to download the patch anyway, once you're set up to access the eshop.

Is it possible to have multiple copies of the same game (say, Pokemon X) on 1 MicroSD using Gateway?

sure, but they will use the same save.
maybe you can use a program to change the title id, that gateway uses to name the save file.

 

[hippy dave]

Specifically for pokemon, each copy will have its own save. For card 1 games they'd share a save tho.

 

[ScarletCrystals]

Unless, of course, the roms are different region

 

[FaisalS97]

I tested out multiple copies of Pokemon X and each one had its own save.

aha of course, for card 2 games there will be nothing to worry about thanks, i forgot

My Gateway arrived. But the Gateway menu isn't appearing!

Step by step this is what I did:
1. Installed Gateway with Blue card (GW Release 1.0)
2. Copied launcher.dat to 3ds SD card (GW Release 1.0 - so I could update my nand to 4.5 using a 4.5 rom)
3. I was trying to backup my nand. Hold L Button while pressing Nintendo DS Profile until the Gateway screen appears, then it happened. It gave me a black screen and returned me to home screen.

Help please.

Gateway 1.0 release doesn't have a option to back Up your nand, the menu wasn't added till 2.0 b1

Only reason to use 1.0 is to update via a rom

So, to update my 3DS XL from 4.3 to 4.5 I would use a ROM with 4.5 on it and a Gateway with firmware 1.0?
I'd say Luxor (0612) does the trick for me, although I'm not entirely sure how I would acquire firmware 1.0; is it shipped with the module itself already?

No you will have to do some internet digging to find some old mirrors, also just a heads up if you use 2.1 or 2.2 before doing so you will be unable to use the 1.0 firmware to update as the FPGA update is not compatible with older launchers

Also, I really see no reason as to why you'd want to update from 4.3 to 4.5. There's no difference, really.

Updating from 4.2 to 4.5 using GW 1.0 and 4.5 rom is a headache. So I didn't care and just went straight to GW 2.2, best decision I made today.
