so my friend turned off her old 3DS while updating. Now it won't boot. I think it's still on A9LH and it's region changed as well. I have an NTRboot flash card. What to do? Is it possible to install B9S on that then do a CTRtransfer? :o

Do any lights turn on when trying to turn it on? Was she doing a system update or Luma update?

Can I play online with CFW without risking BAN ?
to add something:
Yes you can but when you are playing games that hasn´t been released yet you have a chance of your account getting banned
also using cias is a chance of banning too but thats not so high

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

also if you hacking online(like Mario Kart7 and ACNL) you can get banned
don´t know the %

Ok. It might not be booting just because the Luma version doesn't support the new system update. To solve it update Luma to 7.0.5 or just update to boot9strap following https://3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s.
wait , so it does not brick the system if you close the device while the system is updating? :o anyway I'll try to upate Luma :)

True except that using cias doesn't have a risk of banning (Homebrew cias do, but it's low or maybe even impossible if the precautionary steps in the guide were followed)

I'm trying to salvage and old Monster Hunter Generations extdata. I have the SD backup and movable.sed from an old formatted 3ds. It's my understanding that this should be enough
3ds save tool is complaining about CMAC issues when using extdata, but regular save files are backed up fine.
I tried using fuse 3ds to mount and copy, but they seem to be in a different file format than what the save managers exist, 4 files from fuse vs 2 files w/ different names from the save managers (checkpoint and JKs)

Any thoughts?

People can report you, though if you're a 'fun' hacker (I.e. Doesn't cheat, just flies around spamming bombs and makes sure to give themselves last place) people probably won't. If your a FTW hacker, so you use your hacks to always win, that's when people will report you.

There's one specific cheat in that plugin that causes you to always get last place. On the upside, it prevents you getting kicked for not driving/driving the wrong way(yes you will get kicked from the lobby). Also, unlike Mario Kart Wii, MK7 can only handle 2 blue shell at a time, so if you spam them, wherever the last one was, it will despawn.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
