Is there any point in downgrading to 4.5 FW? With all the 9.2 support I'm not seeing any reason to go back down.

Not anymore. The best firmware to be on now is 9.0-9.2 as you can still have access to MSET, plus you can also use Browserhax and Menuhax.

I think you quoted the wrong person, but yes, you can use OoT to get the Homebrew Launcher.

Thanks! Amazing how far things have come in just the last six months and how much you can now accomplish without ever touching a FlashCart.

What's the button combo to boot into the format screen? Holding L+R+UP+A as you turn on the system navigates you into the update screen, but how do you go to the format screen?

AFAIK There is no Format button combo. Only ones I can think of are L+R+UP+A for System Update, L+R+Y for Circle Pad Calibration and L+R+X for Touch Screen Calibration.

You can always format from Settings.

I've been searching for the combo for a while but Im starting to think there is no combo like you said.

I just ordered a 3dsxl with 4.5 Is there a way to upgrade to 9.2 or did i just waste my money lol

I ordered a 3ds that uses 4.5. But I'll also be interested in using whatever official method there is to buy some games, like the vc ones. How would I be able to do this without updating? I've had this sky 3ds (blue button) card for a long time, but never had my own 3ds to play it with. I don't know anything about the 3ds lol

Yes, there is a way to update to 9.2 via Pasta CFW/Mini Pasta or rxTools' Devmode/Pasta Mode and SysUpdater.

Ok, I checked launch.rxtools.net, it seems to be working fine. Is the 3DS loading other sites fine?

Alternatively, you can try dukesrg.github.io/?rxTools/sys/code.bin or bobdoleowndu.github.io/3ds/multiload/?rxTools/sys/code.bin to launch rxTools.

just asking before I do this just to be sure, where would I put this file?

Do DS games/carts work in emunand? Or would I have to remember to hit a button to stop menuhax from booting if I want to play a DS game?

You can still buy games if you have your emuNAND updated to the latest version.

EDIT:

I'm currently importing all my carts to CIA but can check for you in a few minutes.

Ah, I was confused on that myself. As it turns out you just load the website on your 3ds and it does its magic by itself.

Not sure which file you're talking about. The sites I linked to are just launchers for rxTools.

Depends on which CFW you're using. DS games do not work in rxTools, but they do work in ReiNAND. I'm not sure about Cakes.

I managed to successfully downgrade my 3DS but now I'm encountering a weird problem. I can't boot the device if I have my SD card in but if I take it out it boots fine. Also, whenever I put in the SD card when it's already booted it works fine and I can even boot and play games (other than Smash 4) but if I try to reboot or go to the home menu with it still in it freezes. Based on this I'm wondering if it is an exdata problem but I'm not really sure. Is there any way to fix this?

@LuckyExploit I'll look it up and see what information I can find about it.

Thanks

Turn off your 3ds
Remove your sd card
Turn your 3ds on
Put it in
Change the theme
Reinstall menuhax

If I want to play GBA VC games, what CFW should I use? SysNAND or emuNAND?

Inject the GBA VC game into sysnand and emunand with fbi located to NAND. Make sure you also have a patched firm for that.
