Just try again. sliderhax is kinda unstable. Did you try pressing the very right of the slider bar? It should be exactly where the slider bar ends. :)

Tried some times, but now it kinda loaded something, and I see some code for a bit, but after that the top screen goes black and the bottom just stays red. Nothing happened for a few minutes now. Do I turn it off or leave it, and what can I do?

Edit: I put the UnlockEverything folder in the SD Card root, was i supposed to take everything out and put it in root by itself?

Yes. You're not the first one who makes this mistake... But I really don't know how to improve the tutorial in order to avoid this... :/

Great guide!
I have a question:
What happens if I update my emuNAND? (I have a n3DS)
Can I access the eShop or even create a NNID?

Thanks

Hey, I need help yet another time please :/
I booted into the HBL successfully and used PastaCFWloader, but when I tried to install FBI.cia it just gave me an error
(I think it said description missing or something, but I'm not sure), and after I exited into the Homemenu through the launcher, I couldnt launch the HBL anymore (after like 10 tries) because I always get an error.
I put everything from the folder into root by itself, btw.

EDIT: Error says:
Install failed!
(cant read this since screen too small or sth).cia
Source: SOURCE_APP_WRITE_CIA (0x6)
Module: MODULE_NN_AM (0x20)
Level: LEVEL_STATUS (0x19)
Summary: SUMMARY_INVALID_STATE (0x5)
Description: DESCRIPTION_DATABASE_DOES_NOT_EXIST (0x2 and maybe sth else)
Press start to continue!

Thanks for helping so far :)

You won't be able to access your emuNAND at all if you attempt this! So, just don't.

You should be able to do both by launching the HBL, then selecting eShop. :)

Check 0.4 to 0.7 in the readme.txt on your (micro)SD. :)

Update | v0.9.9b

New functions:

- added support for FW versions from 2.0.0 to 8.1.0
- way too many things to mention here

Next things to do:
- add support for 9.3.0 to 10.3.0
- include EmuNAND9 as a better method for creating an EmuNAND
- someone needs to make a video of this guide

How to update:
- Download the new CFW Kit
- If you are using a new 3DS: Backup your boot.cfg
- Extract it to your (micro)SD and let it overwrite everythingeverything
- If you are using a new 3DS: Restore your boot.cfg backup

If you have already started doing the steps in the tutorial, just continue from where you have been before updating to the new version.

Doesn't work for me. Keeps crashing. I downgraded to 9.2.0.20E
It should really work, you should just need to keep trying until it works. :/ I suggest you ask for help in a sliderhax thread if the problem cannot be solved that way.

Is there any way to link my NNID on my emuNAND without (obviously) updating my FW?
It always asks me to updating before linking my NNID, and I don't know how to access HBL while i'm on emuNAND.

Edit: Do I start from scratch now using the updated guide?

why i can't extract the cubicninja files? i've tried it 3 times and it keeps saying error
If you still don't have CubicNinja, do the following:
- Download the new CFW Kit
- Extract it to your (micro)SD and let it overwrite everything
- Follow the new instructions in the OP

This is also valid to everyone else who wants to get their Homebrew and emuNAND stuff updated, but backup your boot.cfg beforehand if you use a new 3DS and restore it afterwards.

Use the HBL's eShop Launcher. :)

No, just continue where you have been before updating to the new version.

Using menuhax is a bit messy because you always have to press a button if you don't want it to trigger, but yes, do so. But please do it the way the guide tells you to do it to avoid problems. :)

Do you think i should try to install ironhax also ?
That would be better than menuhax for the moment. :)

Open the eShop again using the HBL. Just press L+R+Down+B to do so.
