Ah. The problem now is that the games on it were almost all actual eShop games that I don't have cia's for, and it looks like I can't redownload them from the eShop anymore after formatting. I tried using Shameless to get back one of them (smash), but it redownloaded the whole thing, and my save file is gone.
Edit: And even after installing some tickets that way, the eShop shows nothing in the "redownloadable software" list and nothing in the "installed software" either, even though Smash is installed.

Oddly enough, after the format, Zelda: Four Swords instantly appeared without me installing or downloading anything, and the save file for that still works.
You need the CIA's no other way around it and "install" them.

Did you at least backup your saves with JKSV? Also is your 022-2634 problem fixed?
Yeah, formatting fixed the error, and no, I don't have JKSV backups. I do have a backup of everything that was on my SD card though, so if I copy back that + restore NAND I think I should be back to where I was before formatting.

Thanks for all the help! One more (and probably the last) question: I installed Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker, but the 3DS keeps telling me there's an update for the game. If I download it directly through eShop, it appears to download something, then says "update was installed", but it still asks to update. If I manually install the update cia, it finishes instantly (implying it actually is already installed). If I click the "confirm update details in eShop" option, it gives an error code that apparently means the update doesn't exist, or something.

This a known problem with some games, nothing to worry about.

This happens when someone converts a 3DS version of a game incorrectly. I would download a different CIA to remove the error.

Wait, really? I used Shameless to download that game. I would have thought it would generate "proper" installations.

Try deleting the game, removing the ticket entry with FBIV2, then install that game but made with FunKeyCIA using the titlekeys site.

Same result.
Edit: Never mind. Official update feature still doesn't work, but installing the update through a QR scan with FBI worked!

OK, I've got as far as to install A9LH from the instructions here (https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax)). I've completed steps 1 through 3. Do I need to convert the games currently on the Gateway card to .cia, or can I continue to use the Gateway card to run them? If so, how?
I'm wanting to move to an Updated SysNAND install, preferably on 11.0 to have online access. The EmuNAND I've currently got is a Gateway build, with some legitimate (purchased through eShop) titles on it. I'd like to have all my gamesaves from the Gateway card (apart from one I'd like to convert from the original cartridge), along with all the purchased eShop content. I have some DSiWare titles purchased, but not installed, as they wouldn't work from the EmuNAND (due to not also being installed on the SysNAND; there was nothing installed on that of importance).
EDIT: I believe the current boot order is something along these lines: A9LH -> SysNAND -> MenuHax -> CTRBootManager -> Gateway .3dsx -> EmuNAND. I'd like to drop the last four steps of this.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • 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
