I have yet another noob questions. But before i begin, lemme just apologise if this question has been asked (cuz theres just too many threads and questions everywhere, wew).

So here goes, ive successfully installed rxtools (thanks to many strangers from the community here =D) and have also made it so that rxtools boots from start up, but nw i cant access homebrew launcher. i have installed oot3dhax to start up the homebrew launcher but nw when i press A at the load game screen it actually loads me into the game.

The reason y i wanna access the homebrew launcher is to get access to CHMM2 to apply a custom theme ive downloaded. i've tried putting the .cia file of CHMM2 into the root of my sd card and installing it, but when i start up the app, i cant load any theme (or even see any themes that i have downloaded n placed in the Themes folder in my sd card).

Basically the priority here is to gain access to CHMM2 to apply these themes =D, any kind of help is very much appreciated and, thanks in advance.

do you use themehax or browserhax? Themehax seem to be most useful for us new CFW user.

You might have the wrong 3DS firmware version set up on your OoT 3D save. Did you remember to setup OoT3DHax using the installer for the version your EmuNAND is on? You could try some other way of accessing homebrew, such as browserhax. See what other ways you can access the Homebrew Launcher (or boot.3dsx) here.

ah, i didnt do dat. but according to the guide for launching rxtools immediately when i start up my 3ds, i had to rename the boot.3dsx and add 2 more files into the root of my sd card. does doing dat prevent homebrew launcher from launching properly. n thx too for the quick reply =D

I'm using a European n3DS on 10.3.0-28E.
I'm trying to install FE: Awakening as a legit .cia.
I've previously been playing on an American retail copy of the game.

Can I transfer my save data from the American retail copy to the .cia?

Shouldn't be a problem. What guide did you use that?
That why browserhax is good, since it check what firmware you are to use.

I've never actually updated my Gateway before, I'm still sitting on 3.4.1, is it as simple as replacing the launcher.dat and playing?

Thanks,
Ace

Yes that should be all you have to do.

I have a question I can't seem to find a definite answer to... can you use a save for a cia from one Emunand with another Emunand on a different 3ds? Does SVDT let you do this?

Considering you can use a save from a game cart to Emunand, and any save file on the internet to game cart (haven't tested internet save to cia yet), I assume you can. Well region was the same for both of my incidents, so not sure if you can cross region though.

Not sure about the ASR part of using SVDT though (first time using SVDT on something that had ASR)

Well the issue is that with CIAs, I believe the saves are encrypted with your consoles unique ID so I'm not sure if it will be as easy. I'll have to toy around with it some more.

What you are thinking is the ASR (Anti Save game restore), as the save has both the file and security value. There the Security value on both the Game CIA and Console. As it is actually 2 files, yes, you can transfer save.
SVDT does have Anti-Anti Save game restore to deal with that issue.

Sorry, I can't help with the SVDT regarding the AASR.

Hey guys, I'm wondering how to go about playing GBA games.

I use Gateway, which I realize doesn't support GBA, but I know that RxTools does. Is there a way to use RxTools on the same emunand that my Gateway uses, allowing me to play GBA games without needing to either switch SD cards (as a N3DS user, that would be an incredible annoyance) or "scrap" my current emunand?

Thanks,
Ace

I have the Zelda MM LE New Nintendo 3DSXL & also have a OG 3DS.

My NN3DSXL is on Ver. 10.3.0-28U & my 3DS is on Ver. 9.5.0-23U. I haven't updated anything. I'm new to all this hacking stuff, carts, etc. All I know is that carts allow you to download paid 3DS games to play.

What do I need to buy to be able to download games? And what is a legit online store? I'm in the States.

I appreciate the help...

well I did some more digging and apparently I can import saves to other Emunands with savedatafiler if I delete the secure value first? Do I delete it BEFORE I export the save or do I delete it from the save I am exporting TO? Sorry for all the questions!
