This exploit is patched on latest firmware version. Are you trying to follow an outdated click-bait video guide instead of https://3ds.hacks.guide/ ?

A browser exploit or MSET9 will still work. Please use 3ds.hacks.guide only and avoid YouTubers ripping off the guide to make quick advertising money.

Good luck and have fun!

The browser exploit won’t work and mset9 also seems to not work for me. I thin my console might be patched, I’ve tried the other ones before. Not even ntrboot wants to work. I even sometimes use 3ds hacks guide as well.

"Does not work" isn't a good description for what actually happens.
Browser exploits are sometimes tricky and unreliable.

I've to add a disclaimer: I'm not actively following the changes on 3ds.hacks.guide anymore and didn't use newer exploits very much opposed to previous methods.

As long as the hardware is okay, ntrboot will work. Sometimes it is tricky to pull it off and failure can have many(!) reasons all with the same outcome → makes troubleshooting hard.

Spoiler: Examples

• File system corruption
• Missing or damaged boot.firm
• Wrongly named boot.firm.firm (thanks, MS Windows)
• Bad SD
• Bad SD reader
• Ntrboot cart not flashed correctly
• Ntrboot cart not making good contact to cart reader
• Bad cart reader
• Magnet to weak or wrongly placed
• Magnet slipping a little while pressing the buttons
• Holding buttons not the correct amount of time

Some of these are easy to rule out, some not.

Bannerbomb3 was patched in latest firmware which means you should not even try if the console is on latest version.
=====

For the rare case of a development/Panda unit you'll need to flash a different ntrboothax.

My flashcard is not listed in ntrboot flasher and I think it’s ace3ds x (even tho it has no 3ds or ds mode) and just crashes the flasher when choosing the “(something) family” option and I think I might have an unmoddable 3ds.

Now that I think about the magnets bit in the spoiler, I actually Have some strong magnets somewhere.

Use MSET9 to mod your 3DS rather than follow outdated video guides, the guide that Kleines has linked is very straight forward and is more up-to-date. I'm sure you can do it on your own.

I tried the main one the 3ds hacks guide has for the new 3ds/new 3ds xl on latest firmware (super-skaterhax) but it won’t work for me

I wonder, what is the easiest method to homebrew a New 3DS?

You clearly didn't read my memo. A more modern exploit like NTRBoot or MSET9 is a lot more stable compared to a browser exploit that from my testing has never been really successful on my end. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you step-by-step since they're straight forward to follow. And if you screw up, then you weren't paying any attention.

Use the recommended exploits as shown by the 3DS Hacks Guide and then it's done.

I HAVE AND IT WONT WORK

Did you follow the steps that I had advised you to do? There are SO MANY better ways as to how you can install custom firmware on your 3DS. Browser exploits are not worth it in my books, not because you end up with a small percentage of it actually working, but most of the time it will fail, they have not been used since Gateway. Hence why I have suggested to you two options; NTRBoot using a compatible flashcart, or, MSET9 by using the Mii Maker app.

I'll spare you the rest of the details by posting links to those guides below. If you need help, there are troubleshooting sections to read through.

NTRBoot using a compatible flashcart, or, MSET9 by using the Mii Maker app.

I have LITERALLY TRIED BOTH of those and they won’t work. Extra data with mset9 just freezes with the trigger thingy injected and ntrboot just seemingly doesn’t want to work for me.

What system firmware are you on? And have you updated?

What system firmware are you on? And have you updated?

11.17.0-50E

11.17.0-50E

And if you mean have I ever updated my 3ds, I don’t think I have, or if you mean have I ever updated from the current version, no.

Tested both of those out on my 3DS and they all seem to work fine w/o issues.

As I had predicted, you have more than likely missed out critical steps, as stated in the guide highlighted that you must follow every instruction without missing any, since these are very important.

I didnt miss any instructions though

Check if the SD card wasn't corrupted with h2testw, or find another card that does work with your console. It must be formatted to FAT32 32kb cluster and not something else like exFAT. If not, then I don't have much else to say.

I use the card my console came with (i think it came with one atleast) and its fat32 (idk the cluster thingy tho, I’m on iPad rn)

Should've used a computer, and not an iPad for formatting your SD card. Must be at least around 8GB or higher for custom firmware.

Formatting the SD card you need a good quality reader/writer that isn't a cheap piece of junk, since the Chinese readers tend to corrupt them a lot once you insert them. Then, down below you will find links to download some tools, use either SD Card Formatter or FAT32format GUI depending on which works best.

ALSO its not corrupted

In the last year, I've homebrewed a New 2DS XL, a Japanese New 3DS, and a Japanese New 3DS LL, all with 11.17 firmware. Each one of them got a new Samsung 128GB SD card, formatted with SDFormatter and then guiformat. Every single one of them, I followed the current guide on 3ds.hacks.guide, carefully following each step in order.
