I have been told that might work.... But this thing will probably just go back into the closet where it belongs. I would say the trash, but my little sister uses it.

:ohnoes: Please don't throw away a (physically) perfectly fine n3DSXL.

It just needs some love and attention in fixing its software boo-boos. :)

Try the sysUpdater and/or CTRTransfer methods before calling quits.

Well back to updating part, you can try the sysupdater, then there is the option of CTR Transfer. Would be really suck if you CTR Transfer and then you still can't update.

ima backup and try it and see how it goes

Those *.cia files in the firmware package are put in the updates folder placed in the SD root. Avoid using FBI to install those system title CIAs.

Other than that, I recommend turning off your WiFi and using the CIA version of sysUpdater. Not sure how the *.3dsx one interacts with Homebrew Launcher injected in one the System Titles when updating.

If your firmware update goes through, use FBI to Delete Title And Ticket for sysUpdater and then Cthulhu to cache clear everything.

tbh, its probably banned because I never deleted the tickets for all of the custom homebrew that I had install previously.... sigh...

in case you have the files working and you still get that error try ctrnand transfer
you have a n3ds frimware right?
also if posible would you be able to tell us everything you installed on that 3ds related to cfw like exploit you used to install everything, if you used gateway and the cfw you are using,etc

My question got ignored although that's probably due to the fact that I forgot to say that if you used the old "home/sleep menu" guide you can't update until you have restored the original home menu.

Strange as when this happens to me, it's usually because of the home menu being modified. Have you tried installing the update cia manually?

I was told using fbi to install them would be a bad idea.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
