I have an O3DS with Luma installed, Also have a Gateway card. My kid uses the 3DS most of the time and last time she used it she must of updated it, Its on 11.0

She comes to me today claiming the Gateway wont work and after some reading around a bit i discover that Gateway doesnt work on 11.x upwards.

My question is, Is there any way to downgrade my 3DS back to 10.7 so that the Gateway card works again?

Please, follow this - https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691/

it will help with your needs, if using menuhax set up - change boot config to GW instead of Luma?

it depends on if you had a9lh setup and/or if they accidentally updated sysnand, if that is the case your screwed without a hard mod or a second already hacked 3ds

basically we will need more info for us to know exactly what your current setup is

You can dump the ticket.db and then take the sd out when formatting and after that injecting the ticket.db back with Decrypt9 and put the sd back in

So can i make a nand backup before formatting and then restore it afterwards without affecting my a9lh installation?
If you make a NAND backup then restore it after formatting, that does absolutely nothing. It just relinks the NANDs. Also, formatting won't mess with a9lh installation, however, you may have to reinject FBI.

Google search Plailect's guide (3ds.guide), find the Installing arm9loaderhax page, scroll down till you see the Injecting FBI section.


Right for the life of me i cannot get the injection to work!!! It all runs fine but when i launch h&s, its not fbi....

Scroll up on the same page and you will see an injectable FBI. Download and move that file to files9 folder. After that you can inject FBI to the hs.app.

That did not work, i had to use the universal inject app and create my own injected fbi on my pc and use that with decrypt9. Worked first try.

  • 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
    +1
  • 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
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
