I am trying to downgrade my emunand from latest firmware to 2.1 to dump OTP on my OLD 3ds xl but I get FATAL Error during NFIRM downgrade asking to shutdown power and reboot.
I have tried several times and get same error every time.

I have not changed my region and using correct updates pack.
I am using Luma 5.2 (for some reason I get black screen when using newer versions.)

Any suggestions on what can be causing the Plaisysupdater to fail every time?

You need a 4.X or 6.X game cartridge. Use 3dsdb.com to find one.

And no, there's not, otherwise it would be in the guide.

Ok, so if I have to get a game to do the update, what firmware should I aim to get? Is it better to find a game with 9.2 directly or doesn't it matter if it's 9, 4 or 6?

I followed Plailect's guide and installed Arm9loaderhax, everything is running perfectly!

Now my question, is there any risk of being banned using games online that i installed through CIA?
Also, the games being region free have a impact in some way, or can i just play them as usual, go online and everything like a normal game?

Cia install games should not get you banned, Just don't cheat or be obvious about it on anything releveant to nintendo (Example, posting pictures of homebrew on miiverse Or cheating in games), Also if you do use homebrew cia, maybe advised to hide game activity in the friends list options.

As for region, free, yes if you followed the guide for installing the arm9loaderhax (A9LH) Then you should have region free, any out of region cia should be on the home menu, but i don't think they support multiplayer functions. (online or local) You can try if you want to. :)

Ah its ok then, i never used miiverse, and i dont plan to cheat, just want to play the games normally.

I had a similiar problem, on fact almost the same problem. What I did was use luma 5.2 and launch it a few times, then Updated luma and did the 2.1 downgrade. After that later on in the guide when you restore your sysnand from emunand i had to downgrade luma back to 5.2 as i got a black screen again and i updated back to 5.5 once i finished the guide.

With NTR CFW :
I can't use the Screen Capture feature on my WiFi because my Router blocks the connection and my N3DS won't connect to my PC..
I've tried it with my mobile and it just works fine.
Can anyone help me with my router or know why it blocks the connection?

Ok, ive found Lego Lord of the Rings pretty cheap, this should have version 4.1 according to 3dsdb.

Would this work fine to upgrade my 2.1 system? After which I can use rxtools to go to 9.2?

Yes. That'll work fine.

I am currently on step 18 of the 9.20 update: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/9.2.0-Update-(rxTools-2.5.2)

I don't get it, how do I backup Backup EmuNAND to emuNAND.bin??? What does that even mean? I go to emunand options and click backup/restore and all I get is some Nand Backup option with the name "NAND_emu.bin"
Use the dpad up and down and left and right.

Use Up/Down on the D-Pad to change the name to emuNAND.bin.
thanks! What do I do if my sd card doesn't have enough space? It's 4 gigs, a bit weird.

What do I do if I don't have enough space for a sysnand backup on my SD card? I'm on the 9.20 update part still.

Move emuNAND.bin to your PC then do a sysNAND backup. Or delete unnecessary files.

Hey guys, I installed the Skylanders Spyro Adventure CIA, but i dont have any skylander.

I did a little research here and the user DarkCrudus posted some save files that have the skylanders already loaded.

But the file is .sav How can i inject this save into my cia? I tried to use save manager but it didnt work.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?

    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
