Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Quantumcat]

So, I finally got around to buying a New 3DS XL.

What's the cheapest/easiest way to play DS ROMs on it? I'm not so bothered about 3DS games just now. I've got a huge library of DS games and I've got an Acekard 2i that I used on my old DS. I suppose I'm just spoiled these days and only want to carry one cart around with me.

If you install CFW on it, you can use your Acekard.

Thanks for the reply. I just have to wait until it arrives to check the FW that's on it.

If it's brand new it should be hackable.

Is it possible to revive this card for use on n3ds xl (latest luma/b9/11.4 etc etc) ? IF so how?

I have a 64 gb sd card but it is full. I want to keep what is on it. I have a spare 32 gb card. I can copy over the card till its full and then uninstall the games off it but is there and easier way to transfer files over?

Make sure you are not trying to install a non-CIA file, maybe on your PC you hide extensions and this can accidentally screw up things when you rename a file

Nope, they're CIA files, and my PC doesn't hide extensions

You can safely update. There are basically no disadvantages. You can't play online without updating.

Mmm then try to reinstall FBI, if you are using the .CIA version

If you go directly to gm9 just skip that step

Yes

Is there a way to passcode lock my 3DS? I currently have B9S + Luma v8, and while I found 3DSafe it's for a9lh and unsupported now, so are there any other alternatives I could install?
