Homebrew Can you do OOThax without Action Replay Powersaves?

[Peterman789]

I've never hacked a 3DS before and I just joined GBAtemp, someone please answer me, thx.

3DS ver: 11.6.0-39U

Also, is there any possible way to get homebrew for free on my version? Thanks!

Without using PowerSaves you can use a 3DS on a lower version to install OoThax on a cartridge. No way for free. Cheapest way is ntrboot, see https://3ds.guide/ntrboot

 

[Peterman789]

Thank you for the advice, I doubt there's any way I can get my hand on a custom firmware cartridge though, so I might as well buy Powersaves. Thx!

@Peterman789 You can buy a non modified cartage and install the hack yourself, if your profile is correct you are in the US.
They're many places you can buy them. If you want to buy them from GBATemp's Sponsor http://www.nds-card.com/ they are reasonably cheap.
You could always look at this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/free-3ds-hax-installation-b9s-a9lh-ntrboot-flashing.483186/ to see if anyone is close to you is willing to mod the system for you.

@SirECK Do places like Fry's or Best Buy sell those types of cartridges??

 

[Natsuru]

o hell no. I'll try and find a card and a supplier in the US you deal can deal with. What state are you in, if i may ask?

I doubt it, but why would you want to buy from there? You'd end up paying more. Just get out from nds-card.com. You can pay by PayPal so only need a bank account, don't need a credit card.

@SirECK I live smack right in the middle of Houston, Texas

@Quantumcat I also cannot buy from websites because well, i'm 13, and can't use paypal, credit, BTC, etc...

 

[Natsuru]

You would need to buy it from a online store for these kinds of cards. I was going to find a local one for you but if you can't use an online store it's pointless.
You wouldn't be-able to get a parent to buy one for you?
How about contacting @mrjc1238 (based in Texas) to see if they're local and can help.

 

[Peterman789]

@SirECK My parents only buy things online for large purchases "$100+" and I always have to go to a store to get things for myself, that's why.

I might try contacting @mrjc1238 for help, but idk if i'd be able to like meet up or anything y'know

. . . i am sorry i dont see a correlation here . . . any store that sells pre paid credit cards in your area ? i can assure you no supermarket (or store period) will stop you from buying a pre paid card

lies lies lies you can do it using the save data transfer tool you need a hacked oot install either on software and transfer to your cart or from the cart too the system

if you can mine btc you may be able to get one in a while

 

[Peterman789]

@wormdood I doubt i'll be able to even get a pre-paid, my parents don't even WANT me to buy items online anyways. I only shop with cash and in the stores around my area. The only time i've bought something online to get SHIPPED to my house was when I just bought a Wii Remote and like 3 games on amazon with my dad.

@tunip3 My laptop is a bit too outdated to mine BTC.

 

[Natsuru]

Well then @Peterman789 looks like you are out of options if you can't buy anything online.
I hope you can find someone local to do it for you.

 

[Peterman789]

@SirECK I have Ocarina Of Time 3D already, I might go on Black Friday and buy a Powersaves Pro. Thanks for the help dude.

visa prepaid card to buy online?

 

[Natsuru]

I'm not sure if OotHax can be used to hack a system, boot homebrew sure, hack, not sure.

it cant

 

[Peterman789]

Wait OOThax can't actually hack the system, and can only BOOT homebrew?

 

[Natsuru]

From what I understand about the hacking process yes. If you where on a lower firmware you could use OotHax to load another 2nd stage hack to mod the system.
