Hi everyone, I have one question because I cant find solution for this.
I want downgrade my 3DS from 10.6, but its patched and menuhax doesn't work. So I wanted downgrade via hardmod, and now Im read that after patch my dumped nand, the menuhax still dont work and I must have ocarina/cubic ninja. The question is:
Is that true? I cant use menuhax when downgrading via hardmod?

Sorry for my bad english and thanks for help.

You can downgrade native firm to 10.3 and have menuhax work. Or you can get oot/cubic ninja.

My tutorial states:
If you are on 10.6.0 (not 10.4.0 or 10.5.0), you must have an alternate entry point such as ninjhax or OOThax since browserhax was patched.

That makes me afraid. So after this instruction below, I can use browserhax normally?

  1. Extract the autofirm pack to a folder of your choice
  2. Place a copy of your NAND file (named nand.bin) in the autofirm folder
  3. Download the appropriate decrypted 10.4.0/10.5.0/10.6.0 NATIVE-FIRM and the decrypted 10.2.0 NATIVE-FIRM as CIA files
  4. Rename the 10.4 NATIVE_FIRM file to firmoriginal.cia then put it in the autofirm folder
  5. Rename the 10.2 NATIVE_FIRM file to firmnuevo.cia then put it in the autofirm folder
  6. Place the msvcr120d.dll file in the autofirm folder
  7. Run "start.bat"
  8. If everything worked, then you will have a modified nand.bin containing the 10.2.0 NATIVE_FIRM on version 10.4.0, 10.5.0, or 10.6.0
  9. Flash this nand.bin
Your version number will not have changed in the settings, but the exploit has worked.

You'll need a hardmod but yeah

Cheaper to purchase? No. Hardmodding materials cost about $30 assuming you have nothing to start with. Cheaper when you inevitably brick your 3ds and have to buy a new one? Yes.
I made that suggestion based on OP's statement that he can't get his NAND flasher to work.

Fortunately I done hardmod, but after flash back my dump with native firm the browserhax doesnt works. I got "this browser version is not recognized 3ds"

Soldering irons are that cheap?

OoT + power saves would cost 40 total, I would have thought that buying everything required for a hard mod (soldering iron, compatible sd card reader, wires, etc) would cost more

i bought a $12 iron on amazon, and it came with solder, solder wick, and a solder sucker thingy. hardmodded my 2ds with it, and used it for several jobs that i really should have had a better iron for. sd reader i got was $8. wire i salvaged from a ide cable, and bought micro jst connectors off ebay for less than $5. so minus labor and electricity, looks like it would cost like $25 to start from scratch, assuming you have spare ide ribbons. which you can get easily.

downgrading native firm won't downgrade your browser , so you will still need oot/cubic to start hbl for now
either find someone with a cubic/ocarina card to borrow or a sky3ds

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that 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.

    never had that i don't think
