Managed to snag a bnib n3ds in a store locally. Unfortuately it came with 11.1. Also unfortuately the 2 2ds i have here are 11.1 and 11.2. So how far are we from a dowm grade or cfw that doesnt require a spair 2ds/3ds on cfw. Not looking to hard mod either. I can wait it out no problem just would like a general idea.

Also any chances of the 11.2 dg coming out at same time? This way I can upgrade and get at least one game from the eshop while the wait continues.

Thanks for the info guys.

You're good. We've got easy entrypoint, a k11, and just today, an arm9 sploit on the latest firmware. Just wait for it to be cleaned up and released.

If we knew when, then we'd know what it was, and we'd have it already.
Not likely to have a non-dsiware solution anytime soon. Nothing in the 3c33 presentation suggested this could be overcome. Just buy a 2DS, mod it, downgrade one of the consoles, and resell it. You could easily make a profit since the 2DS will be hacked.

I believe this is to do with the safe firm not having 11.x title checks and the exploit to get access to safe-firm is k11. And once in the safe-firm you have arm9 access to the system or at least can downgrade titles as the downgrade block isn't there.

In short:
Safehax.3dsx by TiniVi: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1OGj4xwAe9_SXlBc3BZQzNOWDA/view?usp=sharing
(source code: https://github.com/TiniVi/safehax/commit/cad5ebf03e8a765142ea3a01c8a265b7de480102, update ctrulib if you get build error due to a missing "svcGetHandleInfo")

Download Decrypt9WIP, get the .bin version and rename it arm9.bin, put it in the root of the SD
Run safehax.3dsx* and wait the usual hour for slowhax
Follow the guide starting at https://3ds.guide/2.1.0-ctrtransfer, don't skip the backup when prompted!

At your own risk, of course :)
* You know how to add a 3dsx to the homebrew launcher, if you don't and can't find it out no offense but you should wait for a proper guide

@zoogie @Justinde75 if you guys are taking about fasthax that's only arm11 and would require owning one of the four primary DSiWare exploit games?

OMG why is this not exploding all over the forum? Or maybe I need to check my glasses! Cool stuff!!!
It actually is lol. Check the Homebrew section

Not exactly.

Firmlaunchhax is the arm9 exploit people use in 9.2, but you need K11 access to patch some K11 function calls (I believe this is for the hooks)
https://yifan.lu/2015/01/17/reversing-gateway-ultra-stage-3-owning-arm9-kernel/

(Incase people didn't know)
There is another version of the firmware called SAFE_MODE_FIRM that is used by the system updater where firmlaunchhax has not been patched. We also need K11 access to boot into this mode (I assume). So the idea is too boot into this firmware run Firmlaunchhax then downgrade using the K9 access we now have to 2.1 and install A9LH.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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

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

    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
