I have a few quick questions:

I have a spare n3DSXL with a9lh on 11.0.0-33U with an o3DS on 11.0.0-33U.

1) Is it safe to do a system transfer from the o3DS to the a9lh n3DSXL?
2) If not, is there anything special I have to do in order to make it work?

Ocarina of time has been recently updated to work on 11.0.0-33, I used it myself for testing. It works, but as you said, need power saves or homebrew with save manager to use. If oot has been updated, i think cubic ninja is or will be soon.:)
Great! :D Now what to implement into my OoT with my powersave I also own...

Yes, it is safe, to transfer to the new with a9lh on the system, Just to be clear, you want to copy from the old one with no a9lh to the new one with a9lh?

It has been updated to work on 11.0, but you still need a way to add the payload to the cartridge. Hence another console with homebrew or a PowerSaves :-)

How do you put the payload into the powersave?
I don't know, but I know the information is in a link on Smealum's homebrew page. Search google for homebrew launcher and click on Smealum's page, scroll down to Ocarina of Time and click on it, then there's a link to yellows8 page which I believe has instructions.

How to use it is in the readme file that should be in the zip file, if it not there, check the main page
https://github.com/yellows8/oot3dhax
Scroll down to see how to install the oothax on powersaves.

Hi, i have a problem

I downgraded my o3DS to the firmware 4.XX and installed RX tools. Then i got a new console n3ds and i wanted to transfer the data of my console ( my NNID essentially) using the emunand, when i finished transfer the data, the console was formatted ani i configured it again, i tried to get in the RX tools (using the ds profile name shortcut) and nothing happens.

The question is,what i can do to recover the RXtools (or somethine like that)?:

1) can i update the console to 11.xx Firmware and do the downgrade again? (to get a friendcode and all those things)

2) Reinstall the sysnand again, format the console and downgrade/install RXtools again?

Can someone tell me please? Thanks T_T

\Whatever you do, DO NOT upgrade to the latest version 11.0.0-33 you won't get any more downgrades with that. I wanted to type this quickly as possible to make sure you didn't do it yet.

You will be stuck on there until you can get a hard modder to downgrade it or a possible downgrade exploit is found.

Second, i dunno what rxtools is but i think is outdated, so maybe someone else can help with you in a moment?

I'm not entirely sure but the rxtools shouldn't be effected by the system transfer, it should still function, but then again, i never tried to system transfer from emunand to sysnand on another console. only sysnand to sysnand.

Haha sorry I only read the first half. I should be more observant.
Mind if i clean your glasses for you kitty? B-)

And now my Powersave won't let me rename the file back to it's original name I named it
Sorry, someone else has to help you cause i never used powersaves, so i only was able to provide read me files.

But can you provide a simplistic version of all this?

The recommended way to install oot3dhax is with either sploit_installer(https://github.com/smealum/sploit_installer), which is included with the homebrew starter-kit(https://smealum.github.io/3ds/), or by writing save-images with a gamecard save dongle for example.

The release-archive saveimages don't include KOR and CHNTWN because newer save crypto is used with those regions' gamecard. Hence, you have to use sploit_installer to install oot3dhax for those regions(but currently there's no hosted *hax payloads available for those regions, as of June 30, 2016).

Raw save-images which can be written to the gamecard savedata flash are contained in the oot3dhax release-archive. The "saveimages" directory is for raw 0x20000-byte saveimages, while "saveimages_powersaves" is for Datel Powersaves. Those directories contain two sub-directories, each for a different cardid set. If you don't know what the cardids for your gamecard are(these are included with what are commonly called "gamecard-unique headers"), just try either directory until one of them works without the game triggering a savedata-corruption error at boot. These directories then contain sub-directories for each game region. The saveimage files under those region directories have the same filename as the payload contained in the savedata, you can use the filename from this to determine which saveimage filename to use: https://smealum.github.io/3ds/#otherapp

Before using the "saveimages" directory, you should verify that your savedata backup filesize matches the filesize from the files from that directory.

Instructions for using with Datel Powersaves:

  • 1) Backup your gamecard savedata with Powersaves, even if you don't want to keep that savedata.
  • 2) In Windows Explorer, goto "C:\Users\YourUsername\Powersaves3DS".
  • 3) Copy the saveimage you selected from the saveimages_powersaves directory in the release-archive as described above, to this Powersaves3DS directory.
  • 4) Rename your backup save to a different filename.
  • 5) Rename the oot3dhax saveimage to the filename which the backup save had originally.
  • 6) Use Powersaves to restore the save.

Do you need power saves or can you use a save file manager homebrew?
