Gambia, The
quick question: if I were to downgrade to 9.2 would I be able to re-downlaod these games from the e-shop ? I installed a few .cia's using this method and I read somewhere way back in this thread that once you have em, the console is tricked into thinking you bought them so that would mean you could re-download them at any time.

You all might as well downgrade now. I downgraded 5 times now and have not got a soft or hard brick. It really does work if you follow the instructions carefully and double check everything.

After getting rxTools CFW, i installed all my Cias in one go. With no messing around with this broken FBI.

I have a 10.3 N3DS and the few times when i have the long message with the "Done" on the end, i can't do anything. :/
I only can see the menu when I push A when I see "Cleaning up" but the installation failing anytime.

Something is wrong or I just must keep trying (i have try more of 30 times)

You have to keep trying.

It has to say "Done" and then you push "A" and it'll work then. But if it crashes or you get in before that, it wont work.

I can't boot Kirby Triple Deluxe (EUR) through hans, it gives me a yellow screen and freezes, forcing me to hard reboot. Is there someone else experiencing the same problem? The other out of region cias works fine through hans...

Hey I know you had problems with FBI but how did you get sysupdater to work so well? They both need memchunkhax2 which works better on some systems than others (no idea why) so theoretically problems with FBI should also be present in sysupdater? I had a buggy FBI and sysupdater also isnt stable for me (cant exit, nothing happens when Y is pressed, no loading screen)

I'm working on a little update for Big Red Menu just to fix a bug i discovered in lpp-3ds. I currently have a little test app that installs correctly CIAs with memchunkhax. Do someone with fw > 9.3 wants to try the same version with memchunkhax2?
