Of course that makes sense.
But different devices (or better said: different operating systems/processing architectures) handle reading/writing processes different, one option can have an advantage over another option.
It's just fat32, which isn't the most advanced file system anymore ...
Just - is there a preference of the 3DS system, or the FW/CFW running on it ?
Anyways, thank you for your answers annson24.

I'm tending to use the 64k cluster size, it just doesn't hurt to be curious ...

Sorry if I'm been repetitive with a really noob question, but every time i take the courage to install a9hl I got descorage by the tutorial :(
I have Sysnand 9.2 with RXTools installed. Of course my Emunand is my daily driver.

How can I install A9hl and make my Emunand my new Sysnand? Have menuhax installed and homebrew Channel running.

Again, sorry for being soo noob here....

Hello guys, i'm stuck at the moment and even tho i searched around i couldnt find a solution to my problem.
I followed the guide but i'm stuck here
  1. Press (B), then select the “Health&Safety Inject” option
  2. Select the FBI injectable .app for your region
  3. Press (A) and confirm to inject
i'm unable to let hourglass see the FBI injectable. Also i couldnt find the fbi injectable 2.4.2 because there were no seeds so i downloaded the 2.4.7 injectable, but i dont think that's the problem

Edit

I guess i had to update the system

Hi I am having an error message when performing ctrnand transfer. Error says the file may be corrupt or modified. I have tried redownloading the file from different sources and still get the same message. is this due to the step of removing folder 0000098 being taken out of the guide or some other reason. Please help as I currently am unable to get to 2.1.

Sorry if I'm being a bit dense here, but (at least with New 3DS consoles) is it necessary to downgrade to 2.1.0? I've installed arm9haxloader on a bunch of consoles running 9.2.0.

It is nessesary, because there has been more bricks for the OTP-less method than the 2.1.0...

But if we're going to be completely honest, none of them are stable....

2xrsa causes a memory-heap overflow. OTPless? no.

The most brick-proof method is to grab OTP on 2.1, go back to 11.2, and install A9LH on 11.2 through the homebrew launcher...

OK, one more thing though. If I backup my NAND with Decrypt using the homebrew launcher on 11.2 with Soundhax, would I still need to get my OTP? Also, this is based on me not worrying about backing up any sort of game info that was on the 3DS beforehand.

Yeah.

Backup NAND, go to 9.2, do the 2xrsa, install A9LH (not a fan of this idea, but hey, at least its faster than ever before), restore backup, inject FBI, install FBI, inject H&S.

There is a translation fail in french here https://3ds.guide/fr_FR/get-started
It says "pour vous assurez". Correct french is "pour vous assurer".

edit
There are others here https://3ds.guide/fr_FR/homebrew-launcher-(soundhax)
It says "SoundHax est compatible sur les versions comprises entre les firmware 9.0.0 et 11.2.0".
First, correct french is "compatible avec", not "compatible sur". Second, "firmware" lacks an "s" at the end.

edit
And step 7 isn't fully translated. It still says
« Go to /SDCARD, then play “<3 nedwill 2016” » and « This may take many tries ».

Hi,
I hacked my n3ds-xl with this tutorial, it was running on V11.2.0.35E and hack is seems to be working, but nintendo just released new software update(V11.3.0.36), should I update my n3ds? and what would happen if I update to that version?
thanks

Since you installed custom firmware, the only thing you'll lose is Homebrew access for now. I'm not updating until a Homebrew solution is found on 11.3.

  • 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

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
