Before anyone comes in here to say "OMG this has been posted liek 73 times!!?Lurn 2 goggle", (No disrespect, though. I know you guys just want to keep the threads organized.) I have searched Google and visited multiple threads on Gbatemp and I haven't found anyone with the same problem as I.

Okay, last night I was on my Homebrew (W/ mashers HBL). I decided I would like to play some Pokemon AS, to see if I could take a screenshot in it to show my friends. I opened it and pressed the Home button. AS crashed, and it loaded my Home menu. "Hey, it looks like I found a way to get back to my Home menu!", I thought to myself.

But, the next time I try to load Homebrew (By holding L + R + D-pad-Down), I find that it doesn't load!
I have no idea what could have caused this. I know Homebrew is still on my system, because my custom themes are still shuffling and my Elf's World badge is still looking snazzy, but now I have no way to get back into Menuhax.

I'm running FW 11.0.0-33 U.
Any ideas for a fix? Thanks in advance. You guys are awesome.

Is there a way I can install Menuhax without going into the Homebrew menu? I currently have no way to get in on my 3ds.

Browserhax won't work, because I'm not on the latest FW (11.1.0-34). Unless, of course, I can remove the update nag on the Browser. But I haven't found something like that for 11.0.

I've seen people report that if you do a system format, don't set the internet up on the initial startup, and set your country/region to Albania, once things are up you can add your network settings and then use the browser on lower firmwares.

N3ds or o3ds?
Old 3DS.

Thanks. I'll try this now.
EDIT: Wait, I don't think I want to format my system. But thanks still.

Hmm... Do you have an sd card backup from sometime recently? You could just restore the theme data folder into your Nintendo 3ds folder if yes. That should restore the menuhax files. I dont know the folder id you need, but i know it is listed in plailects guide somewhere in the main 3 sections. Shouldnt be hard to find.

EDIT:
SD:/Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000/
  • EUR Region: copy 00000098
  • JPN Region: copy 00000082
  • USA Region: copy 0000008f
  • KOR Region: copy 000000A9

I do have a somewhat recent backup from upgrading my SD card. So I just have to find this file on my SD card and replace it with that old one, or am I missing something?

Nope, just like you said. Replace the current folder on your sd with the backup one. Should work as long as the backup was from the same system version, I think. To be fair I havent tested this, but Im pretty sure it will work. Backup the original folder if youre worried about it. It may break your theme settings, not sure on that part.

Could you please show me a picture of it, or specify a bit please? Sorry for being a noob.

Sorry, Im at work right now so I cant. Just follow the folders i listed to find it. The parts that say 32 character id are different for each system. Its just 32 random numbers and letters. Should only be one folder like that in the nintendo 3ds folder. If you have more than one let me know.

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
