I remember an issue with the first cfw where it couldnt save the game. Does this still exist, am thinking of updating sysnand to 9.2 for auto boot but not much point in rx if it cant save on those games?

Yes it can.
is that defo as the downgrade mod isnt conveniently places at the minute ive just terminated the wires and wrapped it up inside. idea is for the other ds to never bother needing to buy a gw.

I have a gw for my system but my gf has lost her r4 delux cards. i am contemplating updating it to 9.2 and to just use rxtools auto loader.

btw you know if rxtools for some reason fails to autoboot is it a pita the set it backup again if it is that pretty much renders that option useless as it will be her 3ds and more than likely wouldnt be able to do it. How reliable is the autoboot system? cheers for the info.

Sometimes autoboot will fail, albeit rarely.
Just shutdown and try again if it does.

Once on 9.2, you can go back to 4.5 in software with the Gateway launcher, no need for hardmod.
rxTools autoboot does need an unlinked EmuNAND though.

yea its already unlinked atm. am contemplating it to be honest its probably not worth it have read a few people bricking trying to install the auto boot stuff. i can unbrick but am not in the mood for opening it again unwrapping the wires and resoldering to the sdreader (will have to sort a connector out at some point). hmm will have to have a think about it the autoboot does sound bloody convenient though and she could have the internet completely disabled on synand, the way its currently setup the browser needs to be used to launch rx.

The wireless switch applies to sysnand and emunand.
You could use MSET, but if she played DS games it would need to be reinstalled.

indeed but you can delete the internet setting on sysnand so it doesnt have internet access where as you can keep the settings on enand so it works on enand, thats my thinking.

With themehax autoboot, the only time you'll ever end up in SysNAND is if you hold a button or your SD card is removed.
is it pretty brick safe setting it up have read a couple of people bricking whilst setting it up.

and ye that does sound good.

Can't imagine it being any more dangerous than other rxTools entry points.
You'd have to screw up really badly.
ok, is there anything on 4.5 that cant be done on 9.2 also is 9.0 or 9.2 the best version for themehax or doesn't it matter?

im on o3ds XL

Not that I know of, 9.2 is the only version that can be updated to with a game AFAIK.
Make sure you use sysupdater in rxTools devmode and NOT rxMode or you will brick your system.

Note that Dev Mode has been renamed Pasta Mode and it's under Advanced Options in the rxTools menu. I updated a 3DS with sysupdater and rxTools Pasta Mode yesterday and all went well. However, it turns out the pack labeled 9.2.0-20U on *that ISO site* was actually for 9.0.0-20U. For the purposes of autoboot CFW, it doesn't matter since themehax works just fine on 9.0 too, but it could have just as easily been 9.3 which would have been bad.

And I don't think there's a difference between card1 and card2 in CIA games, if that's even an option. All CIA games save to the SD card in the same way. IIRC the reason Pokemon had issues saving on Palantine/PBT-CFW was because it was using 6.x save encryption and that somehow broke things.

I was running a nightly from September, currently trying to update to the latest nightly and the thing isn't working. Might have to revert to the old 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

  • 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

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    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
