Is there a way to install FBI as a channel rather than an injection to Health and Safety?

 

[YyAoMmIi]

You did that on which version? emuNAND is in 10.3 here.

I have N3DS, I updated NAND to 9.5 (since N3DS can't go higher), then did that.
Should be same proccess as you stated for O3DS.

You can configure menuhax to install itself with the black theme.


I have a question about my unlinked NANDs.
Basically, after unlinking them, I lost access to NNID services (error 022-2634) in emuNAND.
I can't link sysNAND to NNID unless I update (can't really, it's 9.2).
What should I do to get access back? Backup emuNAND, format it, update, relink?

Note that if you have the firmware spoof installed and you format it, your emunand might brick.

Hey there!
I wanted to ask a few questions. I've been reading A LOT of threads and stuff about the Sky3DS+ and Gateway but some things are unclear to me.

I currently have a N3DS with 10.3.0-28E firmware. I was planning on buying a Sky3DS+, as I have a 3DS firmware version not compatible with Gateway, but I also want regular DS games (like Dragon Quest) so it was recommended for me to wait for Gateway to update their compatibility to 10.3.X. So now that they've announced it (I know it will be quite some time for it to release all the same) I started to read up the Gateway and got some questions about it's compatibility: (Keep in mind, this is all for when the update comes out)
1. Can I use the Gateway cards (Blue and Red) to play 3DS roms and DS roms on my N3DS?
2. What is necessary for me to be able to install Homebrew and be able to launch Gateway on my N3DS? (For example, I read about Cubic Ninja and the OOT and the browser exploit.. What is the current way to install the Gateway launcher on my N3DS?
3. I will be getting an O3DS for my sister this week, but I don't know what firmware it will be. With what firmware could I use it to make my N3DS ready for Gateway?
4. Is it possible to load up the Gateway launcher while being offline? I plan on taking my N3DS on holiday a lot and I'm sure I won't have internet everywhere. I read internet connection is required to boot it up? Is that still correct?
5. How can you switch from playing 3DS games to NDS games and the other way around? Do I need to carry the Blue and Red cartridges with me everywhere?

I can't think of any more questions on the top of my head, but if you could help me with these first of all, that would be fantastic. I've been lurking this forum for a month or so and I understand that you're sick of people asking the same questions, but hey, that's what this thread is for, right?

I have absolutely no idea why you would want a Sky3DS+Gateway combo, but I'll answer your questions anyways (since I have the combo when it was necessary).

1. Yes.
2. Your browser. To install Gateway you just throw Launcher.dat they provide in the download package.
3. I don't get what you're saying here. You're saying you want to use your O3DS to make your N3DS Gateway ready?
4. Yes
5. Yes

If you want me to tell you why, just let me know.

You can use both

Is it possible to automatically boot right to emuNAND? It's kind of inconvenient to have to launch the internet browser every time I power on my 3DS and launch rxtools.

Have you heard of Menuhax?

 

[Aeth-r]

Have you heard of Menuhax?

Yes, but I was under the impression that was only for booting into HBL?

 

[thedude28]

Yes, but I was under the impression that was only for booting into HBL?

You can use Menuhax with CTRbooter to boot straight into emunand.

 

[Plochan]

You can configure menuhax to install itself with the black theme.

I have tried. I selected black but it did not change my home menu color.

I didn't mean that I wanted both Sky3ds and Gateway, I meant that I was looking into sky3ds first because of my firmware version but the sky3ds can only play .3ds file and I also want to play .nds files, so that's where Gateway comes in. If I buy the Sky3ds I'd need to buy a second regular r4 card which was too much of a hassle. And since the announcement of possible support for 10.3, I want to go with Gateway. Do you understand what I mean?

1 & 4: Thank you!
2. I've read somewhere that the browser trick didn't work on the N3DS but if it does that would be good!
3. Yeah that was the 'old' way to do it right? Have an O3DS with firmware between 4.X-9.2 and transfer data between them to be able to set up emunand and gateway for the N3DS?
5. Can you elaborate a bit more on how the changing works? If I insert the blue card to play DS games, how do I get back to play 3DS games?

 

[Screvvy]

Okay, thanks to everyone who helped. I got it working.
My only concern now is the fact that, at least when I'm in EmuNAND, my 3D isn't working correctly. It's just splitting the images rather than actually displaying in 3D. Any ideas?

Gateway can play both .3ds and .nds (red card can play .3ds and blue card can play .nds)

So for 5. Blue card is like your standard R4, so you just need to change between the two cards (and boot into emunand to use the red card).
2. browserhax works for N3ds.
3. I personally don't know this method, but from what it looks like, I think you'd need an O3DS between firmware 9.0 and 9.2

Close your N3DS and open it again.

Once you get into emunand, close the DS and reopen it, that will fix your 3D!

Never heard about firmware spoof.
Is there a way to backup/restore emuNAND easily on GNU/Linux?

I have a question about my unlinked NANDs.
Basically, after unlinking them, I lost access to NNID services (error 022-2634) in emuNAND.
I can't link sysNAND to NNID unless I update (can't really, it's 9.2).
What should I do to get access back? Backup emuNAND, format it, update, relink?

I guess I'm in exactly the same boat too....
Unlinked nands by booting sysnand, then formating with removed sd card.
emunand wont log in to nnid (login screen still apprears, but then i get error message) and I can't go into nnid settings, since that seems to automatically kick me back to sysnand, where an update is required.

while technically, I could get back what I bought on the eshop, I'd prefer to get it back 'normally'

according to a random google find, the only chance to get things back on track would be formating emunand. but i have no idea how to go about doing that, since I'd suppose, if you backup emunand files, even after format, when you put the files back, you'd be right where you started off?

 

[YyAoMmIi]

Note that if you have the firmware spoof installed and you format it, your emunand might brick.

that answers all my question...
I been testing something to see why my games went away after the EmuNAND split (see above), and I been having problem going 9.2--> 9.5, where it bricks
I'm willing to bet it because I had firmware spoof installed before trying to update. I guess it the simple fact of being a firmware spoof and you are changing firmware.

System format didn't cause any trouble with the emuNAND though.

Never heard about firmware spoof.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-free-multi-patcher.391945/
To back up emuNAND, use emuNAND tool (i think it would work on Linux. there a homebrew app called emuNAND9 that also back ups emuNAND into the SD card

Pretty much the same, every idea I got ends up on some problem.

Follow this guide to get NNID Access

Once you get this error: 022-2634, follow this guide:

My bad, I misread your post a bit. The two folders in the "Nintendo 3DS" folder apply to each NAND. One for sysNAND and one for emuNAND. Once you unlink the NANDs by formatting sysNAND, emuNAND has full control over the old folder, while sysNAND has full control over the newly created one.

Why you have two folders inside the 776B folder I'm not sure. I've never actually seen that before. It's not because of a second emuNAND though. If it were a second emuNAND, it would either have it's own folder in the "Nintendo 3DS" folder, or it would be sharing a folder with one of the other NANDs. What is inside the 982b00 and 145600 folders?

And Confirmed, my theory was correct. It was a 2nd emuNAND, as I didn't restore my emuNAND after the making my emuNAND the first time around. This created a new EmuNAND.
So as a note how you have to document the proccess you make EmuNAND.


Now that I'm trying to get my Original EmuNAND to eshop, i'm trying to upgrade from 9.2 to 9.5. however, i'm having emuNAND Brick problems.
My process:
1) Use FBI to install Sysupdater. Only FBI and SYSupdater have been installed.
2) go to sysupdater, press update.
3) Wait for complete update and reset
4) See bottom screen saying "setting up Home Menu" for about a second, before going black and brick. (screen is on though)
5) Occasional when i power off, it says sleep mode, However, that all it says.

Any ideas why it brick? the 9.5 CIA files I use work, since I used the first time successfully.
Or is i'm not waiting long enough on step 4 after it goes black.
