Hello.

I think I've bricked my Old3DS. I have 4.3.0 and I've used https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/ to install a CFW.

I've got everything going on well till section 7. When I tried to go to go.gateway-3ds.com, the system was constantly giving me an error and exiting to home menu. Then I've decided to start from scratch: I've formated my SD, formated my o3DS, used all the files... and got stuck on section 3, 'cause I was still getting error while trying to open go.gateway-3ds.com. So... Now I'm stuck. What shall I do?
I've tried:
- Formatting my 3DS;
- Formatting SD card and deleting emuNAND partition, of course;
- Running different versions of rxTools (2.5.2, 2.6, 3.0) using reboot.ms/3ds, but I get stuck after initial installation on SD card (when it says 'press A to reboot', I press A and system freezes with black screen).

ok heres a few questions for you
what is the full fw number? the last number is important ex: 4.3.0-4
and do you have a (working in your 3ds) ds flashcard? ex: r4i gold/gateway bluecard/ect

Hello!

I have been looking for a way to play out of region games on my n3DS (fw 9.2) using a SKY3DS+ with Cubic Ninja, and thus ninjhax, on it. So far, I have had no success.
I tried loading the Region Free Launcher from the Homebrew Launcher: obviously, it only found Cubic Ninja as a target; however, using the SKY3DS+ buttons I switched to an out of region game, took off the SKY3DS+ and put it back in. The game was detected correctly, but the loading froze once I tried to start it.

Is there a way to do it with what I have right now? Or do I need to get a custom firmware? I apologize for the noob questions, I'm new to all of this.

Some games will not work. Can you be a little more specific?

The game may need a higher fw than 9.2. Set up an emunand and use a cfw, aureinand has region free built into it

not for the loader but for the game itself ex yokai watch needs 9.8 in order to run
?????????

The region free loader will load on the most recent firmware (10.7) without a CFW. That is the point behind using cubic ninja. Use cubic ninja to load the homebrew launcher, choose the region free loader, play out of region game.

There are just a few games that are not compatible. I do it all the time.

Some n00b worthy things i've wondered lately:

Why doesn't Nintendo update firmware versions quicker? It seems 10.7 has been around a while now.. Any idea?
Is there a way to "unwrap all" on the home screen? Or is it one by one?

Why don't you read before commenting. he is not on 10.7 he is on 9.2 without an emunand. That is why I mentioned the fw. The GAME may need a higher fw not the region free loader.

the region free loader will not allow you to play games that require a higher firmware than what is on your console
so yeah you can use the loader on any firmware . . . but you cant play any game on any firmware . . . some games (not loaders) require a higher firmware so if you are on 9.2 you cant play games like yokai watch and Fire Emblem: Fates

My bad... when I see sky3ds I just assume updated firmware.
