I have rxTools working... what now?

I believe it's said to merely brick your emunand sd card, requiring a reinstall of everything.

I mean you could unlink your nands and update emunand to 10.3 or 9.5 on N3ds for better support with newer games.
You could also setup bootntr.cia to bypass region lock issues on N3ds, and to access it's language plugin for more stubborn games.

If you're on an o3ds though, you should be good to bring your emunand to 10.3 if you unlink your nands. That will allow eshop access and installing of the latest games without fwspoof cia.

 

I mean I'm assuming you already squared away cia installs through either injecting FBI, or forcing a cia manager install to emunand somehow?
Because now that I reread your first post I don't see you mentioning that.

 

You only have problems if you boot direct to sysNand, and enter Data Management.
If your sysNAND and emuNAND are linked, your non-legit CIAs will be wiped from sysNand.

BTW, never enter RxMode in SysNAND. There's nothing to do there in this mode.
If you set CTRBootManager to boot direct to emunand, it's fine. Nothing bad can happens.

Also note that everytime you enter System Settings and exit, you device is rebooted. So, without autoboot to emunand, you will end up in sysNAND!!
Beware just with this.

I would recommend that you start posting things about CFW in it's own forum.
This is homebrew forum.

Cool cool, sounds like you are good and where you need to be, assuming that FBI manages to successful install cia files to emunand without error.

Might want to grab BBM.cia (BigBlueMenu) as a test, another cia manager which has better dlc support than FBI, and is useful to have around as a backup.

 

That's the recommended setup.
You will only need to visit sysnand when you adventure installing GBA or DSiWare games, that require to be installed both sysnand and emunand as you have unlinked nands.
In this case, use the Advanced menu in rxTools and enter sysnand in DevMode.

 

I've also heard this is the safe and preferred method for dsiware and gba installs, though I'm not entirely sure why.

 

DevMode is a less 'patched' mode of rxtools.
It is almost the same a entering sysnand directly, but it patches out only the cia signature check, so you can install and launch non-legit CIAS, at the same time you are not spoofing the firmware.

Yep! You can remove FBI or any other CIA you did install from Data Management in emunand!!
Just remember you will be rebooted when exiting System Settings.
