Hello guys, had dropped my New 3DS XL (9.2 Sys) for more than 1 year now, so not very up to date. I had (I think) arm9 / menuhax before, this flashing colored screens on booting before. Then I had to choose booting rxTools / Luma or into the HBL. The problem is... my Computer messed the MicroSD and all my emuNand and stuff is gone ! So I formatted my SD and the 3DS through Settings (Still on 9.2) and want to go with the "new" boot9strap method with Soundhax now. My question is, do I still need to make the part with the secret_sector.bin to reverse the arm9 hack I had before or is it all gone during the format and I can just follow the guide for a non modified device.

Thank you all ! :)

Just follow the guide. It covers everything.
But which one ? The A9LH to B9S or the normal one ? Is there still something changed in my System, or not ? (Because I formatted it) With the broken SD Card I dont have any access to the HBL, emuNand and other things anymore.

If you had A9LH, you didn't have Menuhax, and vice versa. From the sound of it, you only had Menuhax, so you just need to follow the regular guide. Follow it from the very beginning, and don't stop until you reach the end. Don't skip around either.

Thanks, just followed the normal guide and all worked great. It is so much easier today, than back in the days ! :D

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
