Either 9.5.0-22 or 9.5.0-23 is fine, the last digit is just the update for the internet browser. Updating emuNAND should not affect any game saves or installs. When backing up emuNAND, nothing will be affected. When restoring, I believe anything that was installed after the the backup was made will be gone. As for saves, I believe they should still be fine as they are stored on the SD card.
Thanks. I'd think that not much would be messed up since people would want to upgrade their SD card, like I am.

Is there any truth to this post? https://gbatemp.net/threads/3dnus.376488/page-18#post-5502401
Is losing spider exploit a big deal? If it is I can just download the -22 version if they are basically the same.

So the process would go for upgrading an SD card

1) Backup 9.5 emunand
2) Format emunand on new SD card
3) Restore emunand on new SD card
4) Copy save files, etc that were on old SD card

My GF's N3DS is on 9.2U and I was going to upgrade her emunand to 9.5U, but she has some save games, themes, etc I didn't want to get messed up or become incompatible with the new emunand if they were created on older emunand. So I guess I'll just follow that thread. If it does mess anything up I guess I can backup the emunand first.

For step 4, you also want to copy the Nintendo 3DS folder to the new SD card as well. Other than that, yes that's correct. Always backup everything first. While nothing should go wrong, there's always a chance that something could.

Hi everyone !
I have a little problem, I downloaded an undub version of a game, in .cia format.
The issue is that the CIA is bigger than 4go and I can't copy/paste it on my sd card. Is there a way to split .cia game ? Won't be an issue with .3ds I guess but I can't find anything about.cia.
Thanks !

Back up the contents of your SD card and your emuNAND (with emuNAND tool), then format the SD card as exFAT. After that the SD should allow single files bigger than 4GB. Format emuNAND on the SD again then use emuNAND tool to inject your emuNAND backup to the SD, and move the backed up contents of your SD back to the SD card.

Don't worry, New 3DS are limited with hacks and require Cubic Ninja/Zelda Ocarina of Time initially.
So get a 3DS XL instead, anything with 9.2 or lower can be exploited. If your nephews are kids, DEFINTIELY don't get them a more expensive, harder to find New 3DS.

You can use Rxtools on the 3DS XL's, without having to buy Gateway. It's setup the same way and everything.
My nephews dont' have wifi (My sister won't allow them to use internet on anything rather than the PC with parental restrictions). I will also place restrictions on their 3DS regarding updating and internet access.

The problem is they want the N3DSXL like their friends. I want to get them the exploitable systems because I want to backup NAND, gamesaves... in case something might happen, that can be easily fixed (with third party software which requires exploit) than sending it to Nintendo and be charged a huge chunk of money.

Sending it to Nintendo will NEVER be an option for you, when you have an exploited 3DS. They will update your 3DS to the latest without asking you.
I'd predict that the 3DS will break, before it will ever brick. Especially if they're children who would take it to school and leave it there/drop it/have it stolen.

It's a good idea, but kids are not responsible with anything. Hacked 3DS are expensive and you should do it if you have good money and don't mind it.
I'm not saying this about your nephews, but kids in general. I just worry even though it's not my money or 3DS.

To even get a New 3DS on 9.0, you have to go buy a 3DS at the store and be lucky. Your other choice is to spend $300 on a New 3DS on Ebay. Trust me, getting ahold of a new 3DS on 9.0 is not so easy, and to give it to children would be mind blowing.
If I were you, I'd be like "Keep your new 3DS home, it's very rare and expensive" Let them know how special it really is.


Is it possible to have individual themes for real and emunand? Whenever I change in one, it affects the other. I know I'm in the emunand because of the system version.
You need to have emunand and sysnand separated, by formatting sysnand from settings while having the SD card removed. Then you can either use Cubic Ninja, or Pasta CFW to change the theme on sysnand.

I meant sending to Nintendo is the last option. And with exploitable N3DS, I don't have to send the systems Nintendo for easy-to-fix issues (something like restore Nand backup)

I was able to price-match a deal + cash back + coupon that bring the price down to around $160 a piece for N3DSXL. O3DSXL is around $130-$150, so I thought I would just pick N3DSXL at that time.

I have been exchanging like 4 times with no luck. Kinda tired. Praying Ninjhax 2.0 will be released soon.

Is it possible to make pokemon gamesave on sysnand <=4.5 to work on >6.x sysnand? Heard rxtools 3.0 beta has 9.2 sysnand works with mset exploit. My friend's interested in updating to get pokehex web-inject pokemon hack on 9.x sysnand.

If so, please guide me step by step.

So, I finally got my new 2DS and installed RxTools and installed Legend of Zelda- A Link Between Worlds as a .cia file. Is it possible to load cheats on to the game?
If not, would a flashcart be able to?
If so, which would be better? Gateway or Sky3DS?

Thanks :D

I'm currently on 4.2.0-9U, and I may or may not have the correct browser for this firmware. I have cubic ninja(and OOT), and am uninterested in piracy but am interested in hombrew and custom firmware (rxtools cfw is installed and is on latest supported version). Am I safe to update to 9.8?

What are you trying to update to 9.8? Emunand or sysnand?

I haven't tried yet, but I would like to sysnand so that I can use eshop and all that wonderful stuff. Probably want to update emunand as well, but won't really need to until after ninjax 2.0 gets patched(I think?).

So you have RXtools? Just update to 9.8 on emunand (supposedly you have O3DS because firmware 4.2). Before updating unlink your emunand and sysnand.

Just rumour that Smealum said it's safe to update to 9.8 for Ninjhax 2.0. But this is not confirmed so proceed on your own risk.

Can anyone explain to me what is this "region four"?
Region Four is a mod for the 3DS that allows out of region game carts to be launched on a 3DS. It requires a copy of Cubic Ninja that's the same region as your 3DS.

Does anyone know why I do not have the "Super-Stable 3D" option in the settings menu? This is in emunand (GW3D 9.5.0-23U). Is this a known thing with GW on N3DS?

I am trying to calibrate following this from nintendo's site. http://en-americas-support.nintendo...a_id/13792/~/how-to-calibrate-super-stable-3d
Did you downgrade your system settings before creating your emuNAND? If that's the case you won't have the option as you have the System Settings of a normal 3DS on your N3DS's emuNAND. Use 3DNUS to download the correct system settings:
US: Title ID: 0004001000021000 Version: 8203
EU: Title ID: 0004001000022000 Version: 8202
JPN: Title ID: 0004001000020000 Version: 9224

Install the generated .cia file in emuNAND and that should solve your problem.
