To create empty title.db and import.db files in Windows, open Notepad. Click on "File" and select "Save As." Choose your desired save location. Name the file "title.db" and select "All Files" for "Save as type." Repeat these steps for import.db, but name the file "import.db".

I did have a dbs file in one of the id folders which i then deleted and put empty files in, and it didn't like it so i used tiny format which gave me new folders to put a dbs folder in. thanks for your help its now working great!!

Hi I have a n3ds with 9.9.0 23u searching around and dont see much info on 9.9 anyone point me in the right direction to start cfw. I have done wii psp xbox and ps3 mods before. New to 3ds. Thanks! Lots of new info to take in.

I got emunand stuff working i need to update and install a cfw still. Someone told me to follow this not sure it it works. http://imgur.com/tH9FMpc

...Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. Is there, by any chance, any other instance that I need to be aware of, or is this the only trigger?

edit: and guys, if i format the system (without the SD Card), I wouldn't have to go through all the (cfw) installation processes again, would I? I plan to switch my NNID.

well, the same would apply when closing a dsi or vc injected gba game. though technically, those actually go back to sysnand the moment you start them. not really aware of any other instances though.

personally, i just made sure that my sysnand has a very different structure than my emunand by moving everything that wasn't system settings or health and safety into a folder and also giving it a different colored homemenudesign through the homemenumanager homebrew

as for the other thing no idea

That guide is pretty outdated now. Just follow the rxTools guide; rxTools is CFW.

10.4 is not our right I can update my 3ds to 10.3?

 

[skypirate123]

So originally I had my O3DS on CFW 10.3 emunand. However, I've now downgraded my N3DS to 9.2 emunand and just about to update to 9.5 emunand using sysupdater.

What I am wondering is... What are the go to programs/cia for N3DS at the moment? So I can play all cias, copy game saves over and so on.

A nice list of all the things I need to get by with a 9.5 N3DS basically.


Oh also after getting to 9.5 CFW. How do I get my Mii Plaza back up and running? Or is that a no go until N3DS gets 10.3?

finally managed to get gba games working. i suppose its normal, but just to be sure, is it normal that these games seem to be displayed a bit... stuttery? like, the gameplay itself seems to be perfect, but on the screen, there's ghosting everything looks kinda blurry when you run through a stage and stuff?

thats as normal as it gets the 3ds does not have the hardware required to emulate gba properly so it simulates the hardware and the result is what you see (probably the reason they did not sell gba in the eshop)

Okay, so I've looked all over gbatemp and other websites looking to find if I could get an answer for this questions but I can't find it anywhere.

I'm trying to be able to play gba roms on my o3ds, I currently run gateway with 10.3 emuNAND. Can I install rxtools on the same emuNAND to be able to run GBA VC cia's?

yes they both use the same emunand and yes if you install rxtools you can install a gba.cia to sysnand and play it (you may need to patch agb-firm)[Tutorial] Installing rxTools Custom Firmware - (3DS and 2DS)

Wow, thank you for the quick reply! Which version of rxtools would you recommend to install? 2.6 or 3.0 nightly build from december?

any nightly should do (i personally use an older nightly 9/28 . . . so any one after that should work well)

thats a bug you get because you are using a n3ds (you are correct btw rxtools does not fully support the n3ds)
close and open the system lid when it happens

 

[LongLiveTheKing]

I'm following this tutorial. https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/ I have a few issues. I have theme hax or menu hax installed so when i hold L it doesn't go to the RXtools. Pasta CFW loader keeps freezing.

emulation by nature is simulating hardware, i just wonder where that blur comes from. it doesnt seem to be skipping frames or anything and the display usually doesnt blur like that, or at least i never noticed it. it feels like this could have been fixable

 

[lisaby]

Thx very much' work

 

[wormdood]

emulation by nature is simulating hardware

not exactly i dont remember my sega or super nintendo systems having frame-skip or save-states like an cosponsoring emulator on a pc would be able to have look it up if you want to its the reason there is no sleep mode for gba.cia or saves like there are in other vc (gb/nes) titels . . .because the 3ds does not contain the hardware for proper gba emulation just simulation

emulation and simulation are different things
