Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[KunoichiZ]

Is it okay to swap the stock microSD card with a 64GB before the first boot? I assumed it was, but the stock card contains some info... do I need to copy them over the new one,I guess?

Yes, but make sure to format the 64GB card to FAT32 first.

For some reason hb launcher stopped working, when i try to launch it nothing happens and my 3ds launchs normally so i downloaded the starer kit again and replaced the existing files but it didnt work. Im now trying to reinstall homebrew but i cant access web browser because im on 11.0 and need to update to 11.34, is there a way to bypass the browser update message on 11.0 ?
ps: old 3ds, no cfw, was using menuhax

Loving this!

I am getting to know the freeshop and am manually updating other cia installs that were not found there. (followed the Plailect guide for A9LH+LUMA3DS). Couple of easy questions for you veterans out there:

1. Do I need to avoid the eshop at all or the eshop links in games for fear of it resetting updates or DLCs (that I have applied either manually or via the Freeshop)?
2. In line with that, I am a MASSIVE fan of undubs that the folks here make. Can DLC/Updates work with DLC (like shin megumi tensei IV undub)? I have read that they can (especially when the DLCs are simply a lock of existing content)
3. If number 2 is tru, then how the heck do you go about updating or adding DLC to an undub? Can you updarte it via freeshop or DLC cias? Examples welcome


Also, I have finally learned how to install the DLC/Updates for Japan region games. Surprised that I had to change regions in LUMA settings apply the updates and then change it back. Amazing that it's required when Luma can play the out of region titles without issues.

Edit: spelling. should be obvious i type with 2 fingers looking at a keyboard. f** it, I'm leaving the errors

Hi guys. Is there anyway to use the BrowserHax in 11.0? Lets say that i havent openned the browser, so i never got the message to update. What should i do? (Im a complete NOOB, so PLEASE dont explain like i know ANYTHING).

And in the case that i openned the browser, if i format my 3DS, it would work?

If i remember correctly, you need to set your system date to 01/01/2000 00:00 and set the tubehax DNS from the systems settings before using browser hax. and even then you only have until January 2 (about two days) before the nag appears... So you'd only be able to install browserhax to get another entrypoint like menuhax (which doesn't expire).


I have a question myself, for the system transfer do you need BOTH 3ds's to be in the same room? Can't you do it online? how do they sync to know which one will be receiving the system transfer?

Yes, but make sure to format the 64GB card to FAT32 first.

I think I've successfully formatted my microSD to FAT32 with a 32k cluster size.
However, when I insert it in the 3DS, a black screen occurs and the only way to fix it is to remove the SD card (and, I assume, hard shutdown).

Did I do something wrong with the formatting, or am I supposed to copy the "Nintendo 3DS" folder from the stock SD card to the new one?

You're supposed to copy everything from the old card to the new card.

Did you use Menuhax? If so, remove the Menuhax data from the Nintendo 3DS directory.

Browserhax is locked on FW above 10.7
For you to launch Homebrew, you have to use a CART entrypoint or Steelhax (you have to have a NNID to download from eshop, Steel Wars game).
Search gbatemp for Steelhax.
Homebrew on 11 (11.1) only allows you to run homebrew and emulators. NO Downgrade or CFW.

That solution is for FW below/equal to 10.7 and even so, on 10.7 it's not working well (a fresh console without ever opening browser may work)

For your question: it has to be Local (on the same router). Both communicate with Ninty servers but after beeing "authorized", and you choose "Send" and "Receive" they become connected "Local". (You can see it on the Top Screen, Top Left Corner. Instead of you seeing "Internet" or "Streetpass").

The solution is for 10.6 or lower. For 10.7-11.0, blocking the addresses is needed.

Ahhh, so they connect similarly to a DL client app.
That makes it so that you can only transfer on the same enviroment. Thanks cravas!
And yes, I remember menuhax got updated for 11.0 (v3) but couldn't remember what other entrypoints were, as well. Sad to see browserhax wasn't one of them.

Hi all, I have Homebrew from oothax using a Powersaves cartridge, and today I went to go make a backup of a save file and found that I could not longer access Homebrew. Initially things loaded fine, but then it froze at the status message "The homemenu robpin is ready", kicked me back to the 3DS home menu, with the error "An error has occured. Please save your data in any software currently in use, and then restart the system." I tried a fresh reinstall of the homebrew start kit files and it didn't change the situation. Anything I'm missing? If someone could give me a quick rundown on solution, that'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Are you using the right Powersave file for your console model, firmware, and region? Did you update your system and not replace the payload by any chance?

 

[Mystletaynn]

There was a system update about a month ago, right?

My bin file for the Powersaves backup is POST5_U_25600_usa_9221.bin, created 7/19/2016. It is likely outdated, then. Is this the correct website to get a new one from? https://smealum.github.io/3ds/

Yes, 11.1.0-34 was released about a month ago. No, you find out the name of the Powersaves file you need from that website by entering your system details. You get the actual oot3dhax Powersaves files from here. Download the latest release.

This worked, thank you! Sorry it's been a little while since I've done installation, haha. Glad it was a simple fix.
