How to install HomemenuHax on O3DS and N3DS

Notes: This method cannot currently run all homebrew. You need to already have a way of entry into homebrew for this.THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH CUSTOM THEMES.

I didn't make this app.

If you want the inverse of this (like auto booting to HBM), look here. (The inverse is by Steveice.)

This is my first tutorial

Okay, so to start off, we need to download the boot.3dsx file; this is the file used for the homebrew menu. You may choose to use the default boot file, found here, or a modified boot file like the homebrew launcher with the grid layout. Put this on the root of your SD card. (This should already be there if you have used homebrew before.)

Next, we want to download this homebrew app. This is what will trigger the exploit upon startup if certain conditions are made. In this case, it is if the L button is pressed at startup. Put that folder after extraction into the 3DS folder.

Now run the App from the 3DS homebrew exploit of your choice and then follow the on screen instructions from there.


Now when you boot up your 3DS, press and hold L and the system should run the exploit!

I followed the instructions to a T. I'm running a New 3DS on 9.9.0-26 E, and I always seem to get this error when I attempt to install HomeMenuHax. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/xjHNk6M.jpg

Try switching to an actual DLC theme on the home menu, then switching to no theme (Standard) then try again.

Im having that issue except now that the new updates have come out, I can't download themes because it prompts me with a message telling me to update my system. What do I do?

On second thought I might not be having the same error my screen says (the part that I can read)

Reading SaveData.dat...
Generating a ThemeManage.bin + writing it to extdata...
Error 0xc8804470 was returned while attempting to open the file for writing, attempting file-creation...
Reading body-data...
Writing body-data...

and then it says

Generating a ThemeManage.bin + writing it to extdata...
Error 0xc8804470 was returned while attempting to open the file for writing, attempting file-creation...

a couple more times

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
