Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Hi!

I've got a 3DS on 4.1.0. I want to update it to 4.5.0 but the only friend I know that has a game with 4.5.0 lives far away. What are you thoughts about updating from a ROM such as Luigis.Mansion.2.EUR.3DS-CONTRAST?

When can we expect the Update for Online Support for 7.2 any got News yet?

For Gateway3DS, all i have to do is drag and drop the roms? I saw earlier videos requiring you to use a program to write 1 rom to an individual Sd card.

As of 2.2, all you need to do is drag-and-drop. Have fun!

Hey Guys,

get my 3DS XL with Hardware Mod soon, I know how to Dump the NAND. But mostly no Guide explain how to copy the NAND Backup back... so how do?

To dump:

Just plug the empty SD Card to 3DS and read the NAND via Win32DiskTool. But how do I flash the Nand Back for example?

Where could I find someone to pay to fix my bricked 3DS?

I have a R4 RTS 3DS card and with Wood from http://r4idsn.com/download.asp. The stuff starts up perfectly and Im presented with a screen full of the stuff I've put on it. When I try to open something it just stays on loading forever and never loads. Help please?

Some smart question, want to use Street Pass while waiting for my Gateway Card. Is it save, or can Street Pass also enable Software Update? (Since it has Internet connection)


PS: Seems I understood it. The SD Card is bascialy a Bridge between 3DS + PC. So bascialy, while the 3DS is plugged in with the SD Card to the PC I can Read/write the Nand directly?

Ignore the technicalities with the sd card.

If you afraid of receiving the fw update, remove your network from system settings.
(This step also applicable if doing homepass )

if unable to enter system settings (example on emunand + FW 7.2),
change your network password for your router, so your 3ds cannot connect.

Streetpass just requires the wireless switch to be on, not an actual internet connection.

And yes, that's how to restore nand to a 3ds in a nutshell.

Yeah it's not my native language, so sorry.

actually I waiting for my Gateway Card to arrive, so I want to play around with MII-Lobby, which requires StreetPass. So I setup my Homepass, like guide said. Just scared, since Homepass has Internet Pass Trough, I may get a update forced. That is what I asked for.

And about the Hardware Mod: Thanks for clarification.

Yes, using homepass can cause the 3ds to download an update
Are you using emunand? There's a backup and restore tool (that read/writes directly to you sd without need for hardware mod) for emunand.

[ehnoah]

Yeah the reason why I wanted the HW Mod is because I can update to Retail 7.2, which allow me to update all the Games.
After that, I can downgrade back to 4.4 and swap the Emu Nand to the Retail 7.2 with all the downloaded updates. (Which enable for most games again Online Support)

It is more a workaround til GateWay Team Updated 7.2 E-Shop and more.

Hi I'm new here and can't read all the posts of this topic so please bear with me.
I just got the flash card and got it working but I have a few questions.

1) I've seen from old tutorials that you need to do something special for saving in a game, is that no longer the case?, Can I simply save normally in the game?

2) Is there also a "savestate" save?

3) Finally, where are these saves files, can I simply move them to my computer once I'm done with a game to use for later?

4) My current EmuNand is 4.2, should I update to 7.2? Do I have to update to play latest games, like say A Link Between Worlds?

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. SD card and Yes, except CARD2 games.
4. Don't. You'll break eShop and Settings. And no.

why?
do you mean a standard R4i NDS card, if so yeah you can put the gatewayinstaller.nds on the NDS card to install the exploit, but really there is very very few benefits of having anything other than just using the bluecard

 

[PhoenixWrightX]

If i switch to a different gateway 3DS, can i still use the save games from my original gateway device as long as its the same roms? Or are saves device locked for roms?
