Just asking for curious. i need to know if luna is available to get on 11.3
If you mean can you set it up on a stock console that's already on 11.3, then no.

But luma does work with 11.3 only if the system was already hacked

I ask this here because it says freeshop still functions in 1.3.0!

So, I installed everything for a guy I know and everything worked fine. He said he's gone to use Freeshop and it updated itself and now he's getting 'Failed to install content' issues... Followed by the console bringing up a message that says' And error has occured. Hold down the power button to turn off the power, then turn it on and try again'

Before I handed it back to him I downloaded the EncTitleKeys.bin and put it all in the right place, tested the games downloaded and they worked just fine.

Freeshop is currently trying to update again he says.

It's confusing the hell out of me. I don't have the 3DS here but it's on Luma Firmware (Which still works, holding select when turning on the console) A9LH works too, but the freeshop has decided to just stop working for some reason :/

What could be the cause of this 'Failed to install content'? No URL's are blocked preventing downloads so I'm lost hahaha

Oh, and it's a 64GB SD Card formatted to FAT (32k allocation) and worked perfectly through the whole install, so I can't see it being the SD Card... Surely? hahaha

sounds like it failed to update properly delete freeshop and download the latest freeshop https://freeshop.pw/ and install then go to the site with the title keys (cant link it here) and add it via qr code

Thanks for the fast response. That's why I love this place!

Okay, FBI has an option to uninstall a CIA right? Or can you just delete it through Data Management? Want to be safe since it's not my Console aha

Got the EncTitleKeys.bin site already so no problemo, cheers!

If I'm running A9LH, is there anything I need to do to play games that require 11.3+? I'd rather not update unless it's the only option

If the system is on 11.3 and does NOT have a9lh on it, a ctrtransfer (how downgrading is usually done) is completely impossible. only a nand restore with hardmod from a backup made from that system's NAND can be done. maybe dsiwarehax can work too.

So I just updated to 11.3 and now the Homebrew launcher won't load
it gets to "the homemenu ropbin is ready"
Then it crashes and says an error has occurred please save your data in any software currently in use and then restart the system

Manually replace it.

correct. once you have a9lh and luma , you can update sysnand to 11.3 and log in fine and go online and use eshop (though eshop wipes illegitimate DLC)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I actually have a question of my own.

If the needed arm11 an arm9 exploits are found in 11.3, is ctrtransfer to 2.1 possible again to fetch the otp hash for a9lh (because arm9 is exploited and we have direct access to flash) or is it still stopped?

So is Luma3ds safe for 11.3 with soundhax?
Also currently most CFWs are just starting to fix support for 11.3. Luma3DS is the only one that worked out of the box.
Currently Corbenik and ReiNAND both are having patch issues with 11.3. SaltFW had a recently dev build pushed out for it and CakesFW just released a nightly for it.
Still saying most should be fine isn't completely correct just yet.[/QUOTE

current stable (6.6) and nightly of Luma3ds are 100% 11.3 compatible

but you MUST inatall a9lh and luma BEFORE 11.3 update.

    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.
