Hey,
So I recently bought a n2DS online for a pretty good price, but it was not disclosed that DS mode was broken. I've been trying to fix it since, because a return was not possible. I've mostly been following 3ds.hacks.guide, but no methods of loading Luma/b9s/gm9 worked for me, so I bought a flashcart.
So initially, an error code would pop up when trying to run DS titles, DS connections, or anything related (An error has occurred, please hold down the power button..). What repaired it was "Recover DS mode after an NVRAM "brick" (eg after using a DS Bricker)" by zacchi4k, on this site. It changed the error screen to a black one. After this, I tried TWLFix again (having already tried both versions in about a million different scenarios), both with a system update and by installing the cias with FBI.
What happened next was that the games would appear to load w/ a black screen, and then show a white screen; you can still access the home menu by pressing the button, where the black screen/error required that you shut the device off completely. This white screen also occurs when trying to load the flashcart from the homescreen. (it's an R4i Gold Plus 3DS/DS, and the switch inside is not set to ntr. The files from online are also on the SD card.)
I have tried a CTRtransfer, 11.5.0-38u (my version is 11.13.0) it was successful, but did nothing for my issue. 3DS games work, all DS titles I've tried do not.
I am pretty much pooped trying to figure this out. Before I got it, I was not even aware that you could hack a Nintendo console.
Any help at all is VERY appreciated. I have been in and out of reddit and discord servers, - no one has been able to help me with direct advice. I have no idea what's up, and I can't find anything on this specific issue, most people were able to fix their problem with something I have already tried.
When I got the device, someone had attempted to put homebrew onto it, but all the files were inside of the Nintendo 3ds folder on the SD card. I don't know if that's relevant at all.
Also, please let me know if I might have more success posting this in a different section?
