Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[lone_wolf323]

I have a question.. my 3ds have the latest luma version and are updated to the latest firmware by nintendo.. so thats all ok.. In earlier days when i used freeshop i could download the updates for the games also on freeshop.. Now freeshop does not excist anymore i don't know if it is safe to click on the update button when i start a game.. I just start them without updating, so my question is, can i just use the update button so it doesn't show anymore or just let it be and play them as i do now?

you can try. usually the most that will happen is simply you will get a error saying you cannot download the update.

thank you it worked just fine

Just a general question, but is it safe to update to the latest firmware (11.14)?

Safe to update, but update your boot.firm first.

I'm not sure if this question belongs here. If not I apologize.
I hacked my 3ds years ago using a ace3dsx flashcart. I'm currently using firmware version 11.6.0-39u.
If I update now (22-12-2020) will I lose hack?

Update Luma3DS (boot.firm) and everything will be fine on latest firmware.

Don't forget to update the copy on CTRNAND as well.

Good luck and have fun!

Is it just a matter of replacing the old boot.firm with the new one?

 

[godreborn]

yes, as long as you're using b9s. you also need boot.3dsx (the homebrew launcher).

Hi, I recently bought an old 3ds with firmware 11.6.0-39u, it doesn't have any hack. I want to hack it but I don't know where to start nor what to do first. Can someone give me a hand? Thank you.

Thank you, it doesn't matter the firmware that my 3ds have?

If you will, better, try with this new method:
https://safecerthax.rocks/

Edit: You also must follow this instructions, that are not specified on the method, but it's necessary:

• Download the boot9strap normal release (not devkit or ntr versions). Create on the root of the SD a folder named "boot9strap" and extract the boot9strap.firm and boot9strap.firm.sha files inside this folder.
• Download the Luma latest release and extract the boot.firm and the boot.3dsx files on the root of the SD card.

When you finalize it, then do this tutorial:

if you can still access luma, I think the last a9lh version is 7.5 (could be wrong); after that, it's all boot.firm (b9s), which is needed for later firmware.

 

[fmkid]

I think the last a9lh version is 7.5

7.0.5, indeed.

But which person do you write this post to?

 

[godreborn]

7.0.5, indeed.

But which person do you write this post to?

the person who was on 11.6.

 

[fmkid]

the person who was on 11.6.

But he said that his console isn't hacked

 

[godreborn]

Oh, I didn't see that

I was gifted a 3DS with firmware 11.13 (if I recall correctly). Is there a DS flash cart that works for this?

Basically, any flashcard model from 2014 to this date is compatible.

What's the difference between the new r4 3ds and the gateway?
