I am about to get a copy of cubic ninja and install the a9lh hack by following the 3ds.guide website, it listed ninjhax as one of the exploits that will work, but when I go to the ninjhax website, I came upon this question in the FAQ:

Does this let me run roms ?

No. ninjhax is a user mode exploit, meaning that we do not have full control over the console, and therefore cannot run pirated software. That being said, we have the same amount of access as regular apps and games to the console's hardware, and so we can make some kickass homebrew!

So foes thay mean I cant run 3ds backup games? I thought the 3ds.guide website stated that it will work and a9lh cfw lets you play 3ds backups?

ninjhax will only install homebrew, you need cfw to play backups

But doesn't ninjhax lead to cfw if I follow the guide on 3ds.guide website?
Yes the 3ds.guide is for installing a9lh+luma3ds[cfw].

Ninjahax is a primary exploit into HomeBrew Launcher - so everytime the guide says to enter HBL you can use ninjahax.

Ninjahax itself doesn't = cfw

Basically I'm asking which sys version you have because you might have to downgrade(highly probable) and cubic ninja isnt enough in itself to downgrade to 9.xx

I have version 10.7.0-32U, it will work with ninjhax right? So all I need is ninjax and no hard mod is required to install a9lh?

You don't even need cubic ninja don't buy it, use browserhax its free to access homebrew, then install steelhax. I can guide you with browser hax even if you get updatenag

and yes you will be able to downgrade after that following the guide.

No your fine. On 10.7 the hbl entry point [ninjahax] is all you should need.

@theedge unless they gave the update nag and can't get around it. And I think you meant menuhax? otherwise you'd need to get steel-diver from the eshop, right?

Well the thing about browserhax for me is that I dont have access to the router, I was following the guide and it tells me to block nintendo site but I dont have access to the router.

no prob tell me if you need any help

Hello mate, so I followed the guide on using fiddler to block nintendo, it worked great and my 3ds browser never asked me to update, and I scan in the qr code on 3ds.guide website to initiate browserhax, it directed me to http://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax_auto.php

I can tell it's working because the top screen of my 3ds has 9 cyan square and the bottom screen is yellow then orange, sometimes it turns grey, but after about 10 seconds, it goes back to the home menu and tells me an error has occurred, I've tried at least 10 times already, same error, I know I followed the fiddler guide and 3ds.guide correctly, so I don't know what is going on, any advice? Thanks

Yes you need to download the ropbin file for your 3ds from here http://smealum.github.io/3ds/

You then put it on the root of your SD and rename the file you just downloaded to : browserhax_hblauncher_ropbin_payload.bin

Make sure you dont rename it browserhax_hblauncher_ropbin_payload.bin.bin lol

After that the hax should work and you will boot in homebrew menu

Thanks, I did downloaded a ropbin file and renamed it correctly, I have a new 3ds and I accidentally selected old 3ds version instead of new, I think that was the problem, I'll try it again later, thanks again.

Hope it does the trick!

Yes, it worked great, thanks for your help, without you I would've bought a game lol

I have one last question though, in the last steps of the guide it says to reinstall tickets, I dont know what tickets are, but I just did it to complete the guide, so I did that install and delete all tickets option, then it asked me if I want to installing tickets from CDN, I just accepted it without second thought, and while it is installing the tickets, I read the guide again and it says I need to decline the tickets from CDN, so I immediately cancel the operation and try to install and delete all tickets while declining CDN but now there is no option to install and delete all tickets, did I messed it up? Are there any negative effects? Any ways I can go back and install and delete all tickets again while declining CDN? Thanks!

    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)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
