Hacking [HELP] How to "Jailbreak" a 3DS

[zecarlos123]

Hello everyone.
recently bought a 3DS and want to know what is necessary to play several games , if you know me

I've had a normal DS with acekard 2i , but stopped using a long time and now I bought this 3DS and noticed that no longer just put the card ( acekard2i ) . it takes much more right?

The 3DS version has 6.1.0-12E .

I 'm " new " in this " world " so sincerely grateful for the help of anyone and would be very grateful !

and excuse my bad English

Best regards,
ZeCarlos

first you must install cfw, a normal system update is like updating a jailbroken ios, every possibilty of hack will be destroyed.

Wish people knew how to use the search feature or look at the tutorial section, but since you must be spoon-fed here you go

Did you read the guide? It says everything. But since you once again must be spoon-fed no you do not need one.

The CFW is one of the methods to install unsigned CIA files (the games you wanna play) that doesn't require flashcards. You also may choose to use a flashcard. Read more about Gateway and Sky3DS. However, those two card will have cost for you while installing a CFW you are free of charges. You just need to figure out a way (find a tutorial) to get the system version from 6.1.0-12E to between 9.0 - 9.2. Above that you might lose the ability to use CFW. And then follow another tutorial to install CFW (with Emunand and etc).

PS: Before start doing, make sure to have a big SD Card. I would recommend at least 16GB.

PS2: Some steps and files are different for New 3DS and Old3DS. Therefore, make sure to follow the guide which matches with your device.

but then in your opinion, should I use flashcard?
I think it is safer because it has no risk to brick the console. but with the card I can not use the CIA (who I think is to play games with new, right software?)

PS: how can i see if my DS is new ou old??

The new 3ds (n3ds) has a little rubber c-stick on the right hand side above the buttons. You probably have an old 3ds (o3ds). You also must be on system version 9.2 or under to have the ability to use cfw.

CIA games are e-shops games. Until now with CIA games you can go online with any unsigned CIA because CIA games don't have header. If you use a flashcard you gotta find .3dz or .3ds games, dumps from cartridge. Those are the only files compatibles with flashcards.

I have a SKY3DS. It's really easier and "safer". However, you can't go online unless you inject private headers to your roms, which is more work. I personally don't know how to do it.

After installed a CFW I feel much better now. You have more options to play and you can customize you 3DS. You can inject games into official emulators and play any game as virtual console, such as GBA, NES, GENs and GB.

If you get some knowledge before installing CFW you will run out of riskys to brick your console. Just make sure to know what you're doing and grab the necessary files to your console model and region. The more complicated part will be getting to the right firmware to use CFW. I don't know how you procced since you are in 6.1 firmware. Belive me, once you get a compatible firmware, installing the cfw is very safe. Just takes time.
So, I strongly encourage you go through CFW. To be able to use custom firmware I had one single shot to make a downgrade in my device (which is more dangerous). Therefore, takes advantage of your current situation. Do not update your system and get ready to read some guides.

The NEW3DS has extra button. C-Stick, ZR and ZL buttons. Just google it and you will see differences.

Ty dude.
One more question. my 3DS have a 4Gb memory card, if i buy a bigger (16Gb) in the future can i move all the things to this new card and make that work perfectly ?

Yes. Also I recommend taking backups of the SD-card in case something goes wrong.

As @Seiji Tanaka has said, yes! There's a guide explaining how to do it.
But keep in your mind 4GB is really small to cfw. Emunand takes around 1GB of your SD. You will barely have space to install games.

If you have a game which contains the 9.2 update you can use that to get straight to the latest FW thas exploitable.

I set up CFW on 4gb and i installed a few games. Its really just a matter of if you want large games like monster hunter or lots of VC or smaller eshop games like mario kart

I recommend you follow this guide to setup rxTools emuNAND. When you're done, you can follow the instructions in the guide to update sysNAND to 9.2 and use menuhax to coolboot into rxTools emuNAND when you turn on your 3DS.
