Hello. I have a N3DS in 10.7U
I don't wanna downgrade ATM, so i've been using the HBL to launch other EUR region Legit CIAS.
These don't appear in my USA Home Menu for obvious reasons, but i've noticed that some slots are apparently being used but they really don't have anything (Making anything that i put in that slots disappear after a reboot). After uninstalling that EUR Legit Cias, that problem disappeared. Is there anyway to remove this "Ghost Icons" without having to uninstall the cias?
Thanks for now. (Sorry for my bad english, it is not my default language.)

You can't. You will need to downgrade and follow this guide https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki
(Why don't you want to downgrade?)

I don't want to downgrade because i think that i will screw up the entire process. (Resuming: I don't want to have an bricked 3ds)
That guide is very safe. As long as you do what it says you will be ok.
Downgrading way safer now then when i did it almost a year ago (the program was very unstable, it was easier to hardbrick, and it didn't have safety checks)
For you the worst that can happen is a softbrick and you will have to update to 11.1 but it is still better then hardbrick.

It is probably less safe installing legit CIAs like you are. What if one is corrupted? You'll have a brick and no way to recover it. A hardmod would not even help you since you can't make backups. With a9lh you can just restore a NAND backup.

Ok, i think that i will downgrade. In the guide it says to format before. I have a ton of legitimate PAID games on my nnid. Will i lose it? If i don't lose it, can i link it normally after the downgrade?

backup the saves and you will just have to redownload them and inject the saves again

It is recommended to format before downgrading to reduce brick chance substantially. You will have to buy a copy of OoT (they are like $20, try to buy it used and return it later)

Formatting deceases the likeliness of softbricking. If you soft brick you will have to update to 11.1. You don't have to but you should.

Thanks for all who helped. I will borrow my friend's physical oot3d to be able to format then.

Make sure you backup your saves with a save manger. You will lose them if you format and don't backup them.
As for your games you will have to download .cia files of them after you get a9lh as their is no way to get them back.

Can't i link my nnid on the emunand and recover them?
The new guide won't install emunand. It will install a very safe cfw on your sysnand that can be updated to the latest firmware without losing your hacks. You are following this guide right? https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

NNID is lost after formatting. Backup your save and once cfw is install find cias of them on that iso site or download with freeshop.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
