So my friend accidentally updated my n3ds from 9.2.0 t0 10.7 and I've lost access to homebrew. I had reiNAND cfw set up and a few games installed. I plan to get a physical copy of Zelda oot3d, but first I want to know this. After I use homebrew to downgrade, will my emuNAND data still be there? (all games, saves, and fc's)

Yes, of course it will.

Did he intentionally update to 10.7? I'd imagine, at least with Menuhax/A9LH activated, it'd be hard to get to sysNAND and update anyways.

The downgrading happens on the SysNAND, not EmuNAND. As long as you don't re-setup the EmuNAND, it should be fine.

Lol no, he just didn't hold L on boot, and it well downhill from there. I also don't have A9LH, I was always scared to go through with it.

Gambia, The
You are using a N3DS. There should be the possibility to use SmashHax to get access to Homebrew. You can use the Demo from the eshop.

What Sonic_Cee_Dee said. Better yet, set it to something that will be difficult to trigger by accident. When I hacked one of my cousin's 3DS (he's still a kid) I set menuhax to boot unless L+R+A+B+X+Y are held. That way there's no way he can get into sysNAND and update it (except, AuReiNAND boots into sysNAND if L or R are held so that kind of ruins that... I didn't put firmware90.bin on SD so at least the L button won't let him boot into sysNAND)

Download a distribution of Linux (say, Kali because it comes with aircrack-ng), create a bootable flash drive using Rufus 2.7 and a simple USB flash drive. Set boot mode to legacy and you can choose to boot from "usb mass storage device", at least, that's what I do, you may require different/additional steps. Once you've booted Linux, follow the set up for Smashbroshax as per usual.

Can I set it up as a dualboot sorta thing?
Click to expand...
Yes, I used to have it set up that way, though I'm not sure if it's possible if you're running windows 10. (havent tried yet)
Edit: If you're just using it for smash hax, create a bootable usb, and install it on a usb. Then you can just boot into it when the usb is plugged in

You can. I triple boot Windows 10, Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and Kali on a Dell Inspiron.

Lol I wasn't asking in terms of time, though I suppose that lacked context

  • 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.
  • 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)

    run h2testw on it
