@Tony_93 also the reason i thought you could play dsiware from emunand

Yeah, "reportedly" tells me that author has not tried it himself.

Anyways I think it has something to do with the way they are installed themselves.

All games and even GBA games have to be installed to the SD card, DSiware in the other hand are the only games that are installed to the NAND and have nothing to do with your SD, since emunand is located in your SD you really can't boot them from there.

Can anyone tell me how to run homebrew launcher with cfw installed? I can't seem to find a way

so dsiware must be installed to the nand......but whats the case if the dsi title has been coverted to a cia file...... gba stuff converted to cia and installed work no problem but dsi ware converted to cia dont work at all they return some error or another......thx

Install a Cubic Ninja cia on emuNAND and install Ninjhax on the Cubic Ninja cia. When entering your firmware version for Ninjhax, you'll want to use your emuNAND's version.

install cia version of homebrew launcher using bigbluebox or install cia version of cubic ninja and install ninjhax 2.5 from there

We were talking about DSiware titles installed as cias... There is no other way to install games aside from legitimately buying them, which again don't work in emunand/sysnand only.

yeah right so dsi NOT converted to cia should work ok.....ill just have to reinstall mset for rxtools....cos dsiware will knock that out.......thx better that way i think

I can't use ninjhax cus my emunand's on 10.2, any other options?

 

[BothyBhoy]

I can't use ninjhax cus my emunand's on 10.2, any other options?

update emunand to 10.3........absolutely no reason not to

 

[BobDoleOwndU]

[BothyBhoy]

Can anyone confirm if the Gateway files will work with the clone cards? Like, if anyone has any experience with this!

If you're talking about the 3DS cart, don't use them. Gateway has brick code that will brick your 3DS if you use it with a clone cart. If you mean the DS flashcart, I'm not sure.

as far as i know all that works is launcher.dat on sd card is all that works.....if you have 4 or 6 mset you can launch rxtools or gateway launcher from profile hack using DS card

I am wanting to basically update my emunand using a 3DS Link, I am apprehensive about installing rxtools! But I don't know if I am booted into emunand or not. I hold L and press profile and it crashes, if I just press the profile it reboots and I am able to play OLD games using my flashcart. I just want to be able to run newer games on it and figured I needed to update my emunand.

The 3DS Link is a very old and outdated flashcart. You will not be able to update your emuNAND using it. Honestly, rxTools would be a good idea. It's not too hard to set up, and there's next to no risk of doing harm to your console. It also supports cold booting, which you may be interested in. Once you've got it set up, you'll be able to update emuNAND.

There is a very detailed guide on setting up rxTools here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/. It goes through the entire process, step by step.

That is the tutorial I was linked to already, I think I will go ahead and try it. The part that worries me is needing to unlink the nands otherwise I risk updating my sysnand. I assume it's easy enough to install .cia files once done?

if you create a folder in system nand and call it System Nand .....and maybe change the theme to the red one then when you boot up 3ds and you see red theme and a folder with the capital s on it then youll know your in system nand

you cd also create a folder in emunand call it emunand and change to a different theme then that wd help also.....

While you're unlinking NANDs, there's no risk of updating. You only have to format sysNAND, which will not require you to update. You may be prompted to connect to the internet, but it will not prompt you to update.

The only risk of updating sysNAND is if you don't verify that you're in emuNAND before you update; which is the same risk as using a 3DS flashcart.

It's very simple to install cias once you're finished. Just place the cia on the root of your SD card and use one of the cia managers to install it.

 

[BothyBhoy]

when your formatting system nand REMOVE sd card from 3ds and to install cia files i use bigbluemenu which gives more information i.e. blocks left and space left on sd card
