you can use devmenu on gw mode i dont trust fbi on gw cause i bricked my o3ds
but today i am hardmodding my o3ds

@sacredshinobi well, ditch that TWL file because it doesn't work for you, you are trying to acomplish something different here that has nothing to do with TWL_FIRM

Get bluecardfix.cia, boot some CFW into sysnand, boot FBI, select destination to NAND, bluecardfix.cia should work in your sysnand.

@Cenk Akbaba Are you sure you did it this way?^^^ Because I think you were trying to install stuff into sysnand but you were actually in emunand.

you can boot fbi even in emunand and install to sysnand from there

 

[Purple_Heart]

i am sure for real xD

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

but i have coldboot anyway so the patched twl is perfect for me (my n3ds wont boot in sysnand)

only if i exit sd card management on n3ds settingsapp

 

[Tony_93]

I only say that because what you said earlier

you can boot fbi even in emunand and install to sysnand from there

Makes me think you were actually in emunand the whole time =/

So you're telling me that if twl_firm did successfully install I still WOULDN'T be able to play my blue card on Emunand?

 

[Purple_Heart]

sry i am cofused today i cant think propably

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

no if it was installed you can play on emunand only (and only cfw not gw mode)

in GW Mode you get a blackscreen

Yes

TWL_FIRM is for DSiWARE games, not DS Mode...

By the way, you can only use the blue card in sysnand if you use *Gateway Mode*, it doesn't work in emunand (Gateway team never bothered adding DS/DSi/GBA support to emunand).

If you use a CFW in the other hand, you can use DS Mode in emunand (your blue card).

 

[Ruby Gloom]

Install it with DevMenu. You're welcome.

 

[sacredshinobi]

Yes

TWL_FIRM is for DSi mode, not DS Mode...

By the way, you can only use the blue card in sysnand if you use *Gateway Mode*, it doesn't work in emunand (Gateway team never bothered adding DS/DSi/GBA support to emunand).

If you use a CFW in the other hand, you can use DS Mode in emunand (your blue card).

I appreciate your help, just a few questions though

1. I've read multiple people saying that their flashcards are working after getting twl_firm installed

2. What is gateway mode again? Gateway takes you into the emunand doesn't it?

3. So you're saying I CAN use the blue card in Emunand if i'm using a CFW (i'm using Rei)? And I do this by installing bluecardfix.cia? If so do I install it onto emunand?

1) Take a look at this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/twl-slot-1-launcher-first-custom-dsiware-app.414501/ But simply installing TWL_FIRM won't work, you can go ahead and do it if you want, but what you need is actually called bluecardfix.cia

2)Yes, Gateway mode is when you go to emunand from a Gateway red card, DS Games, DS flashcarts, GBA and DSiWARE games won't work here.

3)Yes, install bluecardfix.cia to both sysnand and emunand and it will work in emunand.

Why would I need to install it to sysnand too? Just curious.

Also, HOW do I install it to Sysnand?

1) The same reason you need to install the patched AGB firm to both sysnand and emunand for GBA games to run in emunand (o3DS)... Whe you run a DS game the system reboots into DS Mode, is not emulation, it is native backwards compatibility, when the system reboots it will look for the DS Mode in sysnand, if bluecardfix is not there it will blackscreen since it will be a higher version where bluecard it is actually blocked.

2)
* Boot some CFW into sysnand (PastaCFW/rxTools Pasta Mode/Minipasta, etc...)

*Boot FBI (homebrew launcher version is fine).

*Select destination to NAND.

*Install it.

Can I do it by loading homebrew launcher through browserhax and installing it from fbi on there?

 

[Tony_93]

Yes, you can boot browserhax > boot PastaCFW > boot browserhax > boot FBI.3dsx > Install to NAND.

 

[urherenow]

Delete TWL with FBI first (the title ID can be found in the title list at 3dbrew). Then install the .cia.

@Tony_93 TWL_NAND is used for ANYTHING DS related. DSIware or carts. The patched one will allow the blue card to work. The patched TWL will allow cards to work that the bluecardfix/flashcardtimewarp won't even fix.

By the way, you need sigchecks patched to install a modified file (patched TWL_NAND) so you need to boot a CFW into sysnand, THEN boot HBL via browserhax or whatever and use FBI to install it. (use FBI.3dsx to install FBI.CIA into sysnand while you're at it).

EDIT: Maybe... without the bluecardfix or flashcardtimewarp, the blue card won't show up, but with the patched TWL_NAND installed, you can make it work with @Apache Thunder's TWL launcher. You may just want to install both things instead. Or just flashcardtimewarp. That's all you really need for your blue card. The patched TWL allows for using hacked DS roms on your flash card and hacked DSiware and such though...

 

[Purple_Heart]

sigh...... i got a n3ds fw 9.9. dgraded it to 9.2 than created emunand and upgrded to 10.6.
bluecard didnt work on emu and sys. i installed patched twl_NAND and now my bluecard works on emu (only cfw not gw mode)

Okay are you talking about twl_firm or twl_nand? I installed twl_firm (and this is what apache thunder was talking about)

So is twl_nand something else? How do I patch sigchecks?

 

[Purple_Heart]

with cfw (minipasta or rxtools [RXMode in sysnand or pasta mode])

on that site type mset there is a bckup thread there are rfu packs of cfws
