hi im new to 3ds modding and stuff and wondering if anyone could help me with few things, ive just had my n3ds hardmoded back to 9.2.0-20e, the person that did the hardmod has installed al9h and put me luma cfw and fbi, ive then installed freeshop onto 3ds myself no problem but when i try download a game it says i need to update my fw.

first question is how do i update my 3ds so i can download games from freeshop and play them online. i have tried googling but can not find an answer, do i just do a system update via settings or do i need to do something diffrent

secound question is when i sent the 3ds to be hardmoded i forgot to put my 32gb sd card in and i was wondering if there is anything i need to do to the new sd card or can i just copy files over

1.I don't think freeshop asks to update FW before downloading.Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you mean the official Eshop(this asks you to update when you open it so you can download anything)
If you have a9lh+luma as you say you can update from the settings of your system.I did it myself and everyone else here and no problems occured.

2.I guess drag and drop the files. if you want your saves back you should have made a backup using JKSM. download JKSM and make backups of your games now so you won't lose anything again in the future

Yes you can update through system settings the normal way.

Format the SD cart to fat32 then copy EVERY folder and file from the old SD card to your 32 GB one.
Also, it's a good idea to back up your otp.bin file to a safe location.

Then if it is freeshop it should be fixed when you update.Oh and make sure you download the latest stable Luma Build.download the zip and replace your arm9loaderhax.bin file from the root of your sd card with the downloaded one

1.Move your files from your old sd card to the new one
2.Update Luma to latest stable (you are new here as you said so don't bother with the nightly/hourly builds)
3.Update system from system setting and check freeshop.

You might wanna update freeshop too to the latest build from here
If freeshop still doesn't work then ask in the freeshop page here in gbatemp.

  • 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:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
