Nope, only Ninjhax. I did have Ironhax before the data loss.
That's strange. You could try booting into the recovery menu and updating from there. You would need to downgrade again, but it should at least make your 3DS bootable again. The recovery menu can be accessed by holding A + R + L + Up on the d-pad while booting.

Yes. You can delete them manually from sysNAND afterwards and emuNAND should be unaffected. However, next time you make a change on emuNAND's system settings, they will be copied to sysNAND again.


You uninstalled and reinstalled this cia? Or you uninstalled it and the icon is still there? If the latter, it's causing an error do to it trying to boot a nonexistent title. If the former, I'm not sure why you're getting an error. Either way, try uninstalling the game through system settings. Boot into the NAND that you installed the cia on in CFW. After that, go to sytem settings > data management > 3DS > software and uninstall the game from there. Try reinstalling it after that and see if it works.


For O3DS use this tutorial. For N3DS use this tutorial.


Could be a couple things.

First, have you done this step?


Second, when launching FBI from the HBL, you need to boot into CFW first. Boot CFW then boot into the HBL then launch FBI from there.

If neither of these solve the issue, I'm not sure what the issue is.


Could you give more details? What were the last things you did before this started happening?

Ive done the DB/title reset twice, just to make sure.

Butthe HBL fbi installer gives the following error when trying to install the fbi.cia

Install failed!
FBI.CIA
Source: SOURCE_am_START_CIA_INSTALL (0X13)
Module: MODULE_NN_OS (0X6)
Level: LEVEL_PERMANENT (0X1B)
Summary: SUMMARY_WRONG_ARGUMENT (0X8)
Description: DESCRIPTION_INVALID_COMMAND (0X2f)
Press start to continu

This HBL is ofc started after i booted up cake cfw.

Is the HBL FBI able to install cias other than FBI or is it a problem with all cias?

EDIT
as far as the game not showing up i moved a new game into bare knuckle 2 old slot and now after rebooting into rxtools that game is gone??? is that square messed up or what im really lost lol and also still cant play any gba games on emunand is there a gba bios file or something else i need all i have is the basic rxtools 3.0 install.

bump

still having these issues i found a guide for gba said to patch the agba_firm ut the numbers in 3DNUS1.9 always say error wrong number 0004013800000202' title 'v3665' these are the right numbers but same error anyway 3d bare knuckle still disappears ive used FBI and BBM PLEASE HELP

all, beside fbi.cia i have triedto install the bigbluemenu.cia, same problem sadly.
I'm going to assume you've rebuilt the database files for both sysNAND and emuNAND? I'm not sure what could be causing the issue if that's the case. You might want to try asking in the FBI thread, somebody who knows more about it may be able to help.

So I'm back with using this guide to make GBA games work without emulation. https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-agb_firm-signature-patcher-gba-rom-converter.390313/ I installed the patched AGB_FIRM on emuNAND but it still didn't work, and internet research said the patched cia had to be installed on both sysNAND and emuNAND. idk how to do that, H&S on sysnand doesn't open into FBI. If my nands are unlinked and emunand is on 10.3/sysnand is 9.2 am I screwed on trying to play GBA games?

Reinstalling fixed the game. Apparently it was because i left a savedata inside the folder. deleting that solved my problem. Another question though, is it possible to use my backed up cartridge saves using power saves with installed cia games? I want to continue my cartridge save

You need to install FBI over the Health & Safety app for sysNAND via the rxTools menu. After that, you need to boot CFW in sysNAND to use FBI.

I need ninjahax to install cfw? I have menuhax and rxtools currently and i justed backed up my nand file i'm not sure what i'm suppose to do.
Nope, you don't need Ninjhax. RxTools is CFW. If you've installed rxTools and emuNAND then you should be good to go.

You should be able to export your carts' saves with SaveDataFiler. After you've exported them, you can import them to your SD card and use them with your cias.

I tried extracting and it gave me a bunch of .dat files. Do I have to convert them or something? Games on the SD card use .sav files

I think i have done something wrong unless you need to activate via internet bowser each time. I backed up my nand without emu9nand do i need both?
You will need to launch the exploit from the browser until/unless you install another launch method (like HomeMenuHax). After you've copied your NAND backup somewhere safe, you can remove the backup from your SD card.

On SaveDataFiler, go to the far right tab, highlight the save and press the button that corresponds to "import to SD."

I'm not sure if i did or not. I didn't set up any emuNAND but i did back up my NAND.
You'll need to set up emuNAND as well, otherwise you won't be able to update without actually udpating the system. EmuNAND9 can set up emuNAND. Before setting up emuNAND make a backup of all of the files on your SD card. EmuNAND9 will wipe your SD card when setting up emuNAND. After it's finished setting up emuNAND you can copy the files back to your SD card.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
