Hacking How to install *ahem* from latest GW 2.6(Quick Tut)

[Searinox]

Rename the Devmenu.csu from SDK-2.3.4 to Devmenu.3ds, and via the Devmenu, install your beloved .cia files...
No rocket science man.

Gateway 2.6 fw with 9.2.0 EU console. Put DevMenu, both the CFW and SDK releases on the microSD, renamed from .csu to .3ds. When I press Select the CFW release has a blank icon but the SDK one looks okay. Neither will load. When I press A, the menu closes and the console acts as if no ROM has been loaded. Tried with 2 different microSDs.

No need for CFW, please make sure you have the 2.6 launcher.dat from GW in root of your SD, and the devmenu.3ds in your microsd, then launch it normally like how you will launch a 3ds game.

Hmm... I wonder if the 3ds GBA games converted to cia files will make them be able to run...

I think I understand what happened. Gateway STUPIDLY has links up like this:

Firmware GW 2.6 *OMEGA*
Firmware GW 2.5 *OMEGA*
Firmware GW 2.5 *OMEGA* Mirror 2
Firmware GW 2.5 *OMEGA* Mirror 3

Normally I pick the Anonfiles link, because it's no-bullshit ads or captcha. Did NOT spend time to notice that only the 1st link is to 2.6....... *grumbles*

The NSMB2 release comes with 2 files:

- bbb-m-abep.cia (794kb) - I assume this is the DLC?
- bbb-p-abep.cia (342MB) - This is the NSMB2 full game?

I installed both with the DevMenu from EmuNAND. NSMB2 was added to the 3DS menu and it works, but where is the DLC in the game?

Im assuming if you install both,
you'll experience the dlc in game,
While the glc files are chucked away somewhere in your sd card

But where in the game is the DLC supposed to be? I cannot find any menu leading to DLC.

The DLC are for Coin rush,
so go to coin rush!

Just realized that coin rush mode has to be unlocked.

After rebooting my 3DS both NSMB2 and the DLC are gone. They aren't in the data management either. Anyone else experienced this?

1. Don't go and check data management
2. You rebooted and launched emunand, right? (just clarifying).

My devmenu still persists,
and I'm still dling NSMB2><

 

[Lordjontan]

This is amazing. Just put the .3ds Devmenu in my american 3DS and I could install Super Mario Deluxe (europe) without problems

 

[Doran754]

Anyone?? Anyone at all? When I rename devmenu.csu to .3ds (320kb file right?) and place it on the GW MicroSD. It shows as DevMenu in multirom but when I launch it's a super mario bros.3 rom can anyone help?? It's from the 2.3.4 folder

Yes, I did excatly that. So checking the data management removes the installed .cia stuff?

If you do this on real Nand, yes

Try to cut everything from your MicroSD, put in ONLY the devmenu, and report on the results.

I see. Didn't know that.

Also I can confirm that installing DevMenu_2x.cia to emuNAND from DevMenu.3ds works.

I don't know why but that did the trick, thanks for the reply! Appreciate it. I assume it will stay like this now if i move the others back. Thanks again.

 

[I pwned U!]

I would like to set up DevMenu, but I have some questions and concerns (mainly relating to possible future system transfers):

1. If I do a system transfer to my >4.5 3DS, will the titles installed with DevMenu be transferred too?

2. If there is a way to disable signature checks and install full kernel mode CFW (without Gateway's restrictions, unless this update got rid of those), then do a system transfer without the >4.5 receiving 3DS getting bricked?

3. Does DevMenu also allow us to back up system titles from the NAND in .cia files?

4. If the answers to questions 1., 2., and 3. are all yes, then can CFW be a possibility for the receiving >4.5 3DS? Could I make a .cia file of my 4.1 System Settings and install it on the receiving >4.5 3DS (without overwriting the 9.x System Settings)
to make it compatible with Gateway?

5. If the answer to question 1. is yes, then will transferring titles from a different region result in a brick for the receiving >4.5 3DS?

If anyone with a >4.5 3DS with a NAND hardmod, a Gateway card, and a <4.5 3DS with a new emuNAND backup created for testing will test these out and share the results, that will be immensely appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

I have got the devmenu up and running but how do you launch your .cia files, where do you put them to get them on the devenu? do you just put the .cia files on your M-SD card and boot them from there?

Phat SD Card - On the side of 3DS.. you could put them on root
or even make a cia folder.. then launch devmenu go to folder press a enter folder
then install desired cia
