Hacking Can't remember how I soft modded my 2DS XL. Help!

[RetroJay]

About two years ago I soft modded my 2DS XL AND today I want to add more games but can't remember the procedure I used so not sure how to add more games. Can I look somewhere on the 2DS to figure out the method I used?

It says Luma 3DS v9.0.

It says Luma 3DS v9.0.

Ok then update to Luma3DS v10.1.3 before updating 3ds

Put the 10.1.3 boot.firm on the root of your SD card, replacing the one already there.

Ok, will do that when I get back from vacation. Now when I'm getting ROMs again what do I get? I remember there were different versions like CIA.

Do you have a link to the guide I might have used or should use now?

Yeah, download in CIA format, place on SD Card, open FBI, find it, click on it, and install it.

Alternatively, you could Google "NAMEOFGAME CIA QR Code" and scan it with FBI/Remote Install/Scan QR Code. (Some people have said this is slower.)
