This may seem like a silly question but I want to keep using my sd card for my N3ds *the same 1 I had in my O3ds that was already formatted for GateWay* Is there a way I can I can add a SYSNAND to the pre inserted N3DS sd card without formatting it so, I can transfer the system NAND for the N3DS to my laptop to injest in the already pre formatted sd card. I don't want to mess with another sd card & half it just to get system NAND. Is there an easier way?

Another option is to have it hardmodded and downgraded. @hundshamer can do that for you. It should cost less than the price of a Sky3DS and you'll be able to do a LOT more with your system (Sky is very restricted).

Thanks for the reply! Didn't even know this was an option. Haven't heard it mentioned anywhere else.

One problem though: as mentioned, I live in the UK. Can hundshamer service UK too or does he know someone who can?

Oops I got the people mixed up. @gamesquest1 is the UK guy and hundshamer is the USA guy. In any case both of them have been tagged now so whichever one is the UK guy might message you :)

idk. Context? There might be a better solution.

I installed a .cia with a few custom themes and now each time I go to the theme menu it displays other themes completely random so I wanted to completely uninstall it and try again with Big Blue Menu.

1. You can't use another system's SD and expect to have the same stuff on the new system.
2. If you just insert the SD, then your N3ds will just create a new folder in 'Nintendo 3ds'. And you can create an emuNAND on it too.
3. Your O3ds will be able to read whatever its stuff were, and your N3ds will read its. But downside is, it will take double the space :/

Thanks but I guess I'll have to just use the pre installed sd card, format it & then insert the new NAND on the 16gig I was using on my O3DS. Thought there would be a way around it, but guess not.

depends. Firmware 10.4 and up requires a hardmod, something most 3ds users dont attempt. It requires soldering wires in the 3ds to dump the nand to a pc. If your 3ds came with 10.3 through 9.3, you can look up a downgrade tutorial, and use the internet browser as an entrypoint. Once it's downgrade or if it came like that, look up how to install an emunand using the browser as an entrypoint again. Also with alot of effort you CAN change your emunand region. Difficult and buggy though. And i didnt read the full comment. No, emunand cannot be transfered from 1 3ds to another, but region changes are possible.
not anymore :)

Welp, I bricked my 3DS on 7.1.0-12U. Trying to open anything that uses the main tiles to open results in an error message and a reset. Strangely, the top menu icons and the camera through R+L still work. I don't suppose there's any hope of a 3DS cartridge with a firmware update (such as SSB) helping?

Just update to a later downgrade-able version through a game cart, and then attempt to downgrade again :)

If you're emuNAND is not on latest FW, then use browserhax and install a CIA installer to your emuNAND. OR Inject FBI/any CIA installer into your Health&Safety app :)

Soft-Bricked an O3ds (Not by SVCHAX) and I decided to try and use the recovery mode as SVCHax Seems to be working on 10.6 so why not try and downgrade back and fix the brick, but I am able to access the System Safe-Mode and the update looks good but it hangs at a specific place each time, I've tried rebooting making sure there is no DNS and everything else that is said to cause it to fail, I've even moved between 3 Internet connections and it still hangs at the same place, Any Ideas?

Fun mistake: I restored a 10.6 emuNAND over my A9LH'd sysNAND. It's done. Kaput. The console in question is now sold off.

The question is, would it be a good idea to install A9LH on emuNAND as well? Just in case this sort of thing happens?

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
