hey I had my old 3ds with Cfw not fully sure what I had on it I know I have rxtools but not sure what else. My buddy did the update when he went to play and now it goes to boot up shows the writing stuff, coloured screens then the rxtools screen flashes then all goes black. Is there any hope?

if you still have a 9.2 sysnand then drop RXTools (which you should have ages ago) and install a9lh

Why do you still have RXTools? I think you're shit out of luck. Sorry

Switch to Luma3DS. The best way is by following this guide: http://3ds.guide/
You can also just download the latest Luma3DS hourly from here: https://astronautlevel2.github.io/Luma3DS/
Extract boot.3dsx (from the menuhax folder), Luma3DS.dat (from the mset-spider folder) and arm9loaderhax.bin to your SD card. Upon reboot the Luma3DS config should show up, enable "Show current NAND in System Settings" and press start.

His sysNAND isn't updated, he just needs to switch to Luma.

Because I don't use it often and haven't played it for months

I'll take a look at these links and hopefully figure it out thank you

Edit: so do the first link to install? Then second links and what you have there is when I want to update luma down the road?

The first sentence/link is what you should do to install A9LH.
The second part is a quick fix to use Luma with your current menuhax setup.

I'd recommend following the guide as A9LH offers numerous advantages over menuhax.

I'm having difficulty getting into sysnand to do the install. I know the emunand was loaded up when it got updated but when I go to get into sysnand some writing comes up and then the screen flashes green and then yellow (sometimes it freezes here) then if it gets past it will freeze on a red screen and then that's that... any ideas

Sounds like a boot loop to me. You need to uninstall menuhacks first by changing your theme, then you need to either use Soundhax or another free entrypoint to access homebrew and continue.

  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
