Well...Speaking as someone who's just now getting into 3DS hacking (and I mean only just), the information is not very neatly assembled. Yes, there are stickies, but it requires one to have followed the progress of the scene for a while, given that there are few to no "Total N00b Instructions" threads. There is no new/base user education. One thing I will say in favor of the viewpoint of folks like @usernametaken and @kheldar is that there IS a 3DS hacking sticky dedicated to newbies to post questions.

That and you've got a situation where Smea (the one who basically more or less created Ninjhax, tubehax, and ironhax) said that Ninjhax 2.0 has all the same features and functionality as Ninjhax 1.1.

But you still need exploits to be able to do stuff even if you have an entrypoint. Most of the exploits were patched past 9.2 so if the firmware is above 9.2, it doesn't matter what you use, it simply won't work until new exploits are found.

Maybe there will sometime an exploit found to downgrade on 9.2 or lower i think. The other step will be that smealum set ninjhax 2.x open source so that other devs found another exploits to install cfws etc

I know, just was adding a bit more to the topic of why people would be so confused getting into the scene. I understand that what made the pre-9.3 stuff work was not just having an entrypoint (Ninjhax 1.1, OoT), but having the means and ability to daisychain bugs and exploits to give the soft/firmware increased/added permissions. It's just that when people like Smea says those kind of things, it makes noobs confused because people like Smea are looked on as experts within the community.

With Ninjhax 2.0 no.
If your 3DS is on 9.2 firmware or lower, you can with Ninjhax 1.1 though.

If his 3ds is on 9.2 or lower he does not even need to use Ninjhax at all to even do it he can just use his SD card that come with his 3ds just like i did.

And installing cia files....
:)

My understanding was that Ninjhax 2.0 was fully capable of installing cia files but doing so requires launching with an exploit with high enough access. The problem comes from the fact that any situation where 2.0 will launch and 1.1 wont involves an exploit that doesn't provide enough enough level access to install cia files.

If this is the case, making his work open source won't make that happen any faster, since what we need is a new exploit on 9.3+ to give access to those functions of the firmware.

Exactly. Being open source just means that it will be easier for the devs of the CFW to adapt their works to run with Ninjhax 2.0 or its variants. It does NOT mean that it will bring any change about ppl past 9.2 not being able to play roms or install CIAs. That will only change with a new exploit.

Thanks for the clarification. I keep getting "no"s and "maybe"s.

    @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

    It's always worth a shot
