Looking for old version of homebrew launcher (with RegionFree launcher)

Hello all,

Recently I updated my EUR New 3DS XL to 11.9.0 (as I wanted to play online together with my girlfriend).
Big mistake, as it turns out now, as I used to play the JAP Airport Hero series very often, and now I cannot do that anymore as the RegionFree launcher has been removed from the newer version of Homebrew Launcher (which I needed to reinstall after the update).

I know that CFW allows me to play regionfree games, but that would require me (on this FW version 11.9.0) to either solder or buy an additional DS flashcard; both I am not very excited on doing just to bring back the RF launcher.

I wonder if it is not simply possible to replace the files on my microSD card with files from an older Homebrew starters kit? Would that bring back the RF launcher? If so, where would I be able to find an archive of older starter kits? Any other solutions maybe? I have been searching like crazy but have not been able to find anything.

Thanks so much for your help

 

Thanks so much for your effort!

Well, in principle I don't mind installing CFW, as long as it doesn't involve me soldering or purchasing another piratesque game card (I already have a Sky3DS, which will become useless after installing CFW, if I understand correctly).

I just think I misread the compatibility table on the guide website; thanks for pointing me in the right direction

 

Ok, so I would like to follow the "seedminer + steelhax + frogtool" method.

I don't know anything yet about B9S or Luma3DS, but I will soon enough. Thanks for mentioning these terms.

 

Allright, all good, followed the guide, works fantastic!

The only thing left to do is to transfer the .sav files to use them with the .cia's. I have found a topic that mentions using Nintendo's saver transfer tool, but that tool doesn't work with my Sky3DS+. I've also read about a method that uses renaming files and two tools, but it seems tedious (and outdates, judging by the post dates).

What's the standard way to use .sav files with .cia games nowadays?

 

Yeah, I think the 3DS doesn't 'see' the difference between a genuine cart and the Sky3DS. I see that checkpoint was actually already on my 3DS main menu after installing CFW using the guide website, sorry about that. Going to read on that application now.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if I can work with Checkpoint and try fuse-3ds if I can't for whatever reason

 

Checkpoint works like a charm! (No wonder it was included with the FCW toolkit ). Thanks so much for the help!
