Hey Guys,

today I bought The Legend of Zelda - Majoras Mask for 3DS and wanted to start it in MT-Card Classic Mode EmuNAND 9.5.
But the Game stucks on Loading Screen and the 3DS freezes.

I don't own any Flashcards (like Gateway, MT-Card or Sky3DS).
Someone knows how I can fix this?

This might be an extreme measure but when I saw your signature I thought of this scenario:
Backup SysNAND
Update your SysNAND to 9.5
Try to launch the game
Restore your backup if needed

If you are still getting problems while in 9.5 SysNAND I suspect that you might need a greater SD card

I bought the game as physical cartidge^^
I've updated my SysNAND to 7.1 with the cartridge => Game works.
Now I've created a savegame.
I'll downgrade my 3DS to 4.5 again and try to start the Game with EmuNAND 9.5 again.
I hope it works :/
And yea... I've a 32GB SD Card^^

Interesting... I'm playing it right now (cartridge) on emunand 9.5 and it works just fine

did you buy it retail or eshop? if eshop, go to data management, delete it and redownload it cos I once had an issue with a game off the eshop that kept crashing upon launching it and that fixed it

lemme know how it goes

NO NO NO NO NO!!! Do not update sysnand to 9.5 unless you have a hard mod and a NAND backup! You will be completely screwed.

Chris, what you did is fine but that save will not run on 4.x, you will need to create a new one.

Edit: never mind you have a hard mod, carry on.

I know that the Game wouldn`t work on 4.x^^ But I thought the EmuNAND 9.5 is not 4.x? o.o

Even if I update the SysNAND to 9.5, I've hardmodded my 3ds ;)

If I were you I will

- update sysnand to 7.1 and test with game cart to make sure its work
- making emunand from 7.1 and stay at this version for now and test emunand 7.1 with game cart too.
- now downgrade sysnand to 4.x and boot to emunand 7.1 and test game again
- lastly if all went well update emunand 7.1 to 9.5 and test game again.

with this you can find which one is your problem. cheers

Dude relax, check his signature.

Also:
I really don't know what the problem is but you could make a small device running on a 3.3V teensy or something to (a) backup NAND to a MicroSD to either on the beginning of it or at an offset (so that you have 2 NAND dumps stored) and (b) restore one of the 2 NAND dumps from MicroSD.

While this is an ugly solution it gives you the ability to swap NAND snapshots on the go.

I saw that after I hit post. Sorry. :)

Okay, I did this right now:
- Upgrade SysNAND 4.5 to 7.1
- Started Majoras Mask (works). Created Savegame
- Downgraded SysNAND from 7.1 to 4.5
- tried to start the Game on MT_EmuNAND 9.5
- Started Majoras Mask (DON'T Work! Stucks on start).

Will try it with a Gateway EmuNAND 7.1 after I created a new SD Card for it.

Luckily i still have a sd card with 9.4 emunand, so I can play the game :D

Ae you tried it? In 9.4 Gateway Classic mode (without Gateway Flashcard)?

EDIT: tried it with Gateway EmuNAND 7.1 => Don't work. Stucks on 3DS Boot Screen .
Will test a Dump of 9.2 for EmuNAND.


EDIT2: Tried to boot EmuNAND 9.2 in Classic Mode with Gateway Launcher => Black Screen. EmuNAND does not boot...

What can I do? want to play this Game x_x

I don't have the game yet , but I will get it in ~30 Minutes.
Also if you don't have a gateway, you can't Boot into gateway emunand, I also use mt card emunand

UPDATE: It works with MT_EmuNAND 7.1!

Tested:
EmuNAND 9.2 - Gateway Launcher Don't work - 3DS Black Screen while Loading EmuNAND
EmuNAND 7.1 - Gateway Launcher Don't work - Stucks at 3DS Boot Logo
EmuNAND 9.5 - MT Launcher Don't work - Stucks after 3DS Boot Logo in Game
EmuNAND 7.1 - MT Launcher WORKS! (had to remove corrupted savegame, but now it works)

I really don't know what the problem is but you could make a small device running on a 3.3V teensy or something to (a) backup NAND to a MicroSD to either on the beginning of it or at an offset (so that you have 2 NAND dumps stored) and (b) restore one of the 2 NAND dumps from MicroSD.

Is there a Tutorial for it?
