Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[MadenameXD]

So I have the Homebrew Launcher installed and use stickerhax to launch into it, and my friend who helped install it says that SuMo don't work with it (as well as Smash and whatever the other game is). I read on Reddit that the Region Free Launcher will work with SuMo to launch them with just a few minor glitches or something, but I'm curious if there's any way to completely get games like SuMo and Smash up and running (my Smash is downloaded, tho I'm planning on purchasing Moon in two days). 3DS version 11.1.0.34U, and I've heard good things about Luma and the like, but apparently you can't get that with my 3DS version.

Homebrew works only with the games you already own (say, cartridges or eshop games already installed).
If by "doesn't work" you mean "run dumped games" then you're right, you need more than homebrew to do that, you need a CFW.
Here you have the available options depending on your 3ds model/firmware and a guide step by step to be able to run a CFW

Thank you! I'll look through this when I get some time and see if I can figure it out.

Hi.
I've downgraded and followed the guide as recommended:
https://plailect.github.io/Guide

I've installed free shop but Pokémon sun says it needs a newer version.
I'm sure I'm being ultra dense but when I've looked for emunand (which I thought I needed) it always seems to reference a gateway card which I don't have. Am I right to think that I don't need an emunand with Luma3ds as it runs modded firmware?
if I could get a pointer to the tutorial that shows me how to update my nand or luma to play newer games I'd be very grateful. Also regardless of whether I ask it to boot emunand or says and I always get the sys version number in settings.

Thanks in advance

So you followed the guide fully, huh? If you did, you would already be on the latest firmware, Sys. 11.2.0-35. Just update with System Settings. You should no longer have an emuNAND. It's safe to update through System Settings, it even said so in the guide.

Ok so I'm trying to figure out if I'm screwed here or not. I have fieldrunners on a NNID that was not banned but the console was, I need to system transfer it to downgrade a n3ds, is there a way to system transfer it and make sure all it keeps fieldrunners? (I have a not banned 3DS and I could call Nintendo to transfer to the contents over but I'm not sure if they will if they see the 3DS the NNID was linked to is banned)

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought I'd done the full kit and kaboodle although obviously not
I'm on 9.2.0.20-e.
Update through the usual 3ds system settings (as if I had never installed cow) or the luma3ds settings? Apologies again for my level of noob.

Just make sure Luma is update to 6.6 and then use the 3DS system settings to update your system.

 

[Daveatfernie]

Thanks very much for the help I'll try that now

I think I saw someone claim that was possible on one of the almost 500 pages long thread. I have not tried it, but I believe they used a special build of Luma.
Hope someone with hands on experience gets back to you

Hope you can find the person who has done it ! Im super curious

I just bought a brand-new 2DS, european version, and it is acctually in version 11.2.0-35... There is any way of installing the homebrew in it using only Pokémon ORAS or Sun and Moon and a Power Saves or doing a downgrade with hardmod? And it is possible to get games for free? I would preffer to do something like that because a Sky3DS+ FlashCard is really expensive here in Brazil...

Thank you all for the attention.

Downgrade requires a 3DS with custom firmware or a hardmod. Free games requires custom firmware. You can only do Homebrew. Here's a list of Homebrew exploits that work on 11.2.

The hardmod step can be done following this tutorial here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-noob-friendly-nand-dumping-2ds-3ds-3ds-xl-n3ds-n3ds-xl.414498/ or do you recomend other tutorial? After doing the downgrade, what I have to do to install a Custom Firmware?

Thanks!!! My 2DS is still on the go, but now as soon as I receive it I will do that!

Do a PC transfer, it will prompt you to copy the Nintendo 3Ds folder from the source system sd card to the target sd card. Then reinstert the sd card to the target and it will install the dsiware game on system memory.

just the 3ds folder, or the whole source sd card?

Can you bypass the system update notification and access the browser on 11.0.0-33J ?
Trying to sell my N3DSLL (JPN) but nobody wants it because it can't play games in English. So I decided to install Homebrew on it so that I can make it region free for the possibilities to use PAL or NTSC cartridges but I can't use the browser. I can access it and mess with the settings but once I try to open a page the notification pops up

The Nintendo 3DS folder

The Nintendo 3DS folder

Sorry for all the questions, but do i transfer the Nintendo 3ds folder first, then do the transfer or vice versa? Thanks.

Transfer first. It will tell you when to move it.

Part of the transfer is changing the encryption on the folder so the target console can read it. If the folder is not present then it can't have its encryption changed. The source console would be formatted at the end, so no console would be able to read it at all :-)

Look up a system transfer guide from Nintendo, it will tell you all the important steps and what to look out for.
