I should begin by saying I have been completely ignorant of the 3DS hacking scene until now and I’ve been reading/watching so much that it’s making my head spin. I finally decided to take the plunge. My experiment is with an Old 3DS that was running 10.5 and I am using ninjhax as my entry point.
I began by following this guide, starting from Part 1 moving forward:
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki
I made it all the way to Part 3, Step 20. When I went to load EmuNAND, it would only load me back into SysNAND. I kept playing around with it, but never could get it to load EmuNAND; just reload SysNAND. If I tried to load CakesCFW via Homebrew Launcher I would just get a black screen.
I gave up on that guide and gave this one a try (NOTE: I formatted the SD card before beginning):
I followed this one exactly as shown. Same issue as the previous guide, when I hit the 17:00 mark, where I should be booting into rxTools EmuNAND, I get a black screen. I thought for sure it had something to do with menuhax, so I even tried doing it without it and the same problem.
So now I moved onto a third guide (NOTE: I formatted the SD card before beginning):
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...luding-emunand-coldboot-cia-installer.405589/
Again, I was very careful to follow the steps. I made it as far as (Setting up EmuNAND section) trying to load PastaCFW from the Homebrew Launcher, but again I got a black screen.
So clearly this little O3DS does not want to play with any CFW. There is a very high likely hood I am doing something wrong, but encountering similar problems while following all three guides makes me believe it’s something else.
Here is my question, while my 3DS shows 9.2.0-20, is it possible that the downgrade (from 10.5 to 9.2 following the github.com guide) didn’t go correctly and is causing this? Any recommendations on how to go about troubleshooting this?
Regards,
GC
