Has they're been any updates on downgrading of CFW? I don't wanna have to buy anything physical to open anything up. It's asking me to update now so I figured i'd ask here and see if there's an easier solution to getting cfw working for backups.

Yes, you can downgrade to 9.2 and then either stop there and just use cfw via menuhax and emunand or go further and install a9lh which requires several more steps (downgrading to 2.1, dumping otp.bin, then restoring 9.2). In either case just follow this guide. If you don't want a9lh then stop after Part 3 (rednand).

Note that you will need to buy either Cubic Ninja, Ocarina of Time + Powersaves, or a Sky3DS but you won't have to open anything up.

I will look into getting power saves for the 3DS. Thank you.

But seriously, do you have a friend with a 3DS at 10.5 or lower? Someone who hasn't used theirs in a couple of months perhaps?

You don't even need to really hack it. You just need to install HBL and use the browser, and you're in business for OoTHax.

I assume you already have a physical copy of Ocarina of Time then? If not, then the US/Canada version can be had for about $30 CAD as they recently did a rerelease and didn't bother to patch oo3dhax. Just go here and click "buy physical"

I'm planning on buying a power saves pro today.



Is this guide good to use? I have difficulty following written instructions so I figured a video may be better.


btw is this just to downgrade or to have the ability to add backups/ds games/emulators ect,

I went and got my powersaves but i'm still confused. When the guy in the video loads the files he selects "browserhax" does it matter which one I choose? and is this just for the downgrading process?

P.S: Can I play online with this?

    I feel like at that point might as well go emulation lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One of those RG things
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Some people just like using original hardware for the hobby point of it
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can easily buy replacement buttons but it's a good fall back
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    on screen keys would be cool but the gba screen is pretty tiny though :(
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd rather use emulation but it's cool regardless again the main point of the Touchscreen isn't just for buttons but for menu options
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    would be way better for menu options
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    although I have huge doubts anyone would be able to make homebrew that would give support for the touch screen
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    then again theres still people who develop games on systems as old as the nes for fun

    (
    micromages is amazing btw)

    I doubted 360 emulation would be possible
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    yet here we are seeing ps4 and even some (very experimental
    ) ps5 emulation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps5 emulation? Why
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I always thought Saturn emulation would straight up be impossible
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just the atchiture is insanely complex
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's why it annoys me when people rant about things being impossible when it comes to software some things should just be focused on more than others
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    because they want to flex their insane developer skills ofc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    We have ps5 exploits where's an article talking about ps5 emulation?

    if i wanted to play gb games on a touch screen device i would just use my phone
