Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[PhantomDiclonius]

If you already have a flashed ntrboot flashcart then just install it with ntrboot (https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(ntrboot)) then backup your tickets, do a system transfer, and restore the tickets (or run tikShop).
If you don't have a cart already, then do the DSiWare hax method. https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(dsiware-game-injection). Afterwards restore the pre-transfer NAND backup and extract the tickets, and inject them on the target console (or run tikShop) to make the games show up again.

Thank you for the response, by the time I read your post, I already hacked my N2DSXL with my flashed ntrboot flashcart and started messing with Freeshop and ran into some problems however.

After installing Freeshop and updating it, I tried to re-download all of my games from my O3DS to my N2DSXL and had 24 downloads going at once. However, whenever I try to exit the Freeshop app, the app crashes giving me this screen: https://i.imgur.com/qdTv3al.jpg

Even when I try to reset my N2DSXL and enter Freeshop again, I am greeted with the same crash and on home menu, I have a few game downloads paused at 0% but I don't understand how to delete them. Is this happening because I tried to download too much at once? I would upload my crash file, but gbatemp won't let me upload the .dmp extension. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Is it too late to try the system transfer Quantumcat mentioned? And what exactly are tickets? I have all my files from my hacked O3DS backed up on my PC if that helps. Thank you for your time.

If you format it to FAT32, you can use a 64GB SD Card or larger

Not able to format a 64gb to FAT32 only exFAT which I tried. Hence my question lol.

You can still system transfer if you have your original system and its data. It will mean you'll keep your user data like Mii Plaza etc and will take less time than downloading if you have a lot of games. Your save data will be transferred so you won't have to use JKSM or Checkpoint. To backup and restore tickets see this thread (you'll be following a small part of the CTR transfer guide) https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-do-i-backup-tickets-to-restore-on-different-console.485232/

To fix freeShop try deleting the 3ds/data/freeShop folder and set it up again with the URL for the titlekeys.

Anyone know if there is a .nds to run .gba? I have the .nds for .nes but I was hoping for the other.

Not a .nds but a plugin yes.

According to the Youtube video in the linked forum thread:

"WARNING WARNING WARNING THIS METHOD ONLY APPLICABLE BETWEEN THE SAME SYSTEM
I.E N3DSXL to N3DSXL, N3DSXL to N2DSXL (New to New) BUT IT WONT WORK BETWEEN OLD to NEW or NEW to OLD"

I'm trying to take what I have on my Old 3DS CFW and copy it to my New 2DSXL CFW. So would the video in the link not work for me? Would I be able to use this guide in the linked forum thread instead? https://3ds.hacks.guide/ctrtransfer

Also, I tried deleting the 3ds/data/freeShop folder and reinstalled it with the QR code here through FBI: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-community-freeshop-fork-open-source-eshop-alternative.483159/
I was also able to remove the 24 pending downloads, despite this, I still get the same error screen when exiting the program with the start button.

That error when you exit freeshop is a known issue and will always happen if you exit that way. You would need to put the 3ds into sleepmode with the power button, then hit homescreen from that screen to bypass the error

Oh ok, thank goodness, I thought that I did something wrong in the CFW process. Thank you so much for letting me know, this was worrying me sick.

if you can find the boss_bgm1 and boss_bgm2 from a working console with freeshop and place them in the 3ds\freeShop\music\eshop folder it will stop the errors when exiting via start

Don't use the video. That guide won't do anything for you except a subset of the instructions for backing up and restoring the tickets. Do this:

• Back up the tickets using the steps mentioned in the thread (which is a subset of the CTR transfer guide instructions)
• Back up the SD card data from the source console onto your computer just in case
• Make a NAND backup of the source console and keep it on your computer
• Do a normal system transfer from System Settings, following the instructions given to you by the consoles
• Restore the tickets using the instructions in the thread (which will be a subset of the CTR transfer guide instructions)

Your target console will have exactly the same data and games as the source console now.

• If you want the source console to go back to how it was, restore the NAND backup you made and put the original SD card contents back.

How would one go about changing the NNID on a hacked O3ds?
I should mention it has luma and all that on it.

 

[Youser]

I currently have a hacked Old 3DS and just recently upgraded to a "New" 2DS XL model. I want to carry over all of my hacks from my Old 3DS to my New 2DS XL. Before I start hacking my new model though, I wanted to double check with people on this forum, will following the 'Flashing ntrboot (multi 3DS System)' process seen here allow me to transfer all of my old hacks to my New 2DS XL: https://3ds.hacks.guide/flashing-ntrboot-(3ds-multi-system)

Or am I better off following one of the other guides on that website that only deal with a single 3DS system and a flashcart, and then manually installing all of my old hacks? Thank you for your time.

What hacks do you have? Just curious...

Use guiformat

Do a system format. You'll be able to log in again later if you wish. If you don't want to format the system, then you can do it with GodMode9 - see https://3ds.guide/godmode9-usage. Or if you never want to log in again you can delete it through System Settings.

Ok I'll try to do that, thank you.

Sorry I'm a little confused, so I was reading through the thread and key1340 is saying to follow part 15 of section 2 of this guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/ctrtransfer
I assume that I should start the ctrtransfer guide from the beginning and make a backup on my PC of my O3DS and N2DSXL SD cards though in case I make a mistake somewhere? After I do that, I should have a backup of the tickets right? What exactly is a NAND backup? Is that a backup of all the contents in the SD card?

What hacks do you have? Just curious...

On my O3DS, I just have FreeShop, a few games download from Freeshop, PKSM, the TWL and JKSM save Tools, some GBA games, and the apps from the 3ds.hacks.guide setup tutorial.

Why do you want to hardmod it?

I am trying to get custom firmware by downgrading from 11.6 to 10.5

 

[MrJason005]

I am trying to get custom firmware by downgrading from 11.6 to 10.5

1. Hardmodding does not allow you to downgrade. It only allows you to install boot9strap
2. Why 10.5 specifically? What's special about that firmware version?
3. You do know there is a way to install CFW on 11.6 with just a DSiWare game, right? No system transfer required. Or for that matter there is also NTRBoot.

How do I do that? I did some research, and all I could find were exploits for freakyhax and ninjhax. I also know there is an easy way to do it with an R4i Flash Cartridge.

Have you ever visited The Guide?

 

[Benimations]

Have you ever visited The Guide?

Yes, that is where I got the guide on how to install boot9strap via a hardmod. But I'm just concerned about my pc not detecting the 3ds as a device. I've looked up solutions for troubleshooting on google, but I couldn't find one.

Does your SD card reader show up in device manager? Have you tested the SD card reader with a normal SD card?
