Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Captain Charisma]

Hi, 2 quick questions.
Does regionthree work on N3DS?
Once my Gateway arrives for my N3DS, would I still be able to play my Smash Bros. and other games online without any problems?
Thanks

Does NTR CFW only work on the New 3DS?

Boot Emunand and go to setting, make sure it says GW9.0.0 and then go to other settings and the last page and hit firmware update(Make sure in emunand not sysnand) after updating you can play online with either installed cia files or 3dz files with perferably a private header.

Nope, if you are using 3dz files on the gateway card you just drag and drop. You might want to format the gateway card to exFat though if you are going to play large games over 4gb though.

Dumb question regarding Sky3DS. If you have a piece of homebrew compiled as a .3DS file will it work on Sky3DS?

"Just dump the cartridge with the gateway menu and then move the dumped rom on to your computer. Use gateway rom patcher application to load your rom of tomodatchi life then click export header. Load your rom that you downloaded and click import header. Browse to the header file that was extracted from tomodatchi life and click ok. If it gives an error just click ok (the error is fine)."

Ah that sounds pretty straightforward, thanks, I'll give it a try. So I guess the headers don't identify the game, just allow you to be a unique ID online? Why are there different sized headers in the public pool then? Like Monster Hunter's one?

Quick question. I just finished setting my 3DS XL up. Is it okay to play legitimate games on EmuNAND?

 

[elm]

Hi, Could anyone tell me or link a guide/video on what to do next (Please). I did the following steps. (I have a USA "NEW" 3ds XL with firmware 9.0)


* Make sure WiFi is configured and working on your New 3DS (You will only need this once)
* Make sure Gateway 3.1.1 Launcher.dat is placed on the New 3DS microSD card
* Start “Cubic Ninja”
* Go to “Create” menu option
* Select “QR Code”
* Select “Scan QR Code”
* Scan the Gateway Cubic Ninja QR code found in the Downloads section for you region
* After a brief wait, a Cubic Ninja savegame will be installed
* And the Gateway menu will be launched
After this one time installation you can invoke Gateway menu as follows:
* Start “Cubic Ninja”
* Go to “Create” menu option
* Select “QR Code”
* Gateway menu should appear


Now when I load my games from the Red Gateway card, they look awful and not in 3D??

Thanks

just setup emnand on a virgin N3ds xl

it has 4gb card, but after i created emunand ,backed it up to my PC, formatted it and updated it to 9.5

i put it in my PC again to put some CIA's on it for now till i get a 64 GB micro SD

and there is only like 600 MB on it,
it says something like 1.2 GB used space and like 600 MB and something free


so what happened to the other 2 something gigs?

why is windows only showing me less than 2 gigs total for the MSD?

did nintendo rip me off and give me a 2 gig card labeled as a 4 gig?

i don't remember GW emunand doing this on my old 3ds xl
it showed normal amount of space
so does new3ds emunand take extra data and make it into a hidden partition or something?

EmuNAND takes up its own space.

EmuNAND takes up its own space.

ok but why does windows not show it?

i mean it shows the card in windows explorer as "gateway emunand" so should't it show that space as part of "used space"?
because it doesn't

i have emunand set up on my old 3ds 4 gig SD and i think i can see all used space still in windows

If the files were once viewable, its possible the Gateway launcher now makes its own partition on the SD for EmuNAND instead of leaving the files vulnerable.

I read at one point that if you have cias or themes installed on your emuNAND, and you go to eShop, they will be deleted? Is that true?

I have a 9.2.20U 3DS and a copy of Cubic Ninja. I would like to be able to use the eshop, but I know I can't without updating the firmware(which would cut me out of anything homebrew; i.e. not an option).

I think it is possible to get emunand 'synced'(terminology?) with the sysnand so that changes in one are somewhat mirrored in the other? Is it possible to accomplish this? Is it possible without Gateway/Skywhatever? Should I hardware mod my 3DS so I can take a manual backup of my sysnand? If I do all that, will I regain the ability to buy things off the eshop and have them on my sysnand? Is there an easier way?

Any and all answers greatly appreciated, links to the newest/safest method would be awesome, but I do know how to search if I knew what to search for.

You'll need a DS flashcart that works on 3ds 4.2

at first the emunand uses the same FC as your sysnand and same save directory. Thats what I have right now but its very limited on 4.2 sysnand and emunand is also limited on which games will boot. I just use emunand however to access the eshop. I dont think as of right now its possible due to the 9.6 update that breaks emunand, but you can download the gateway.dg downgrade file to downgrade to 4.2 from 9.2, and inject your 9.2's nand backup into the emunand partition.

The tut i used, basicially just the emunand part

 

[TUWieZ]

On the note of 9.6, I came here to ask about emunand 9.6.. Guessing it came out today? And no emunand support apparently...

How does one back up a 3DS game? There does not seem to be a save file, unlike regular NDS games. Is there a way to duplicate the save data onto the computer in case the original save data corrupts or deletes?

Please help.
