Hey, guys!

So, me and @Shadowtrance worked to make a method of being able to inject bigger HB apps in to your system!

What you will need for the Nintendo Zone injection:
-Shadowtrance's Decrypt9 nzone version (https://mega.nz/#!mEozGC6B!8EVYungwn8zRgzpgocDqHscaBfm-Zz-JMHE6FqPS8Ww)
-All of the files you need for D9 anyways (slot keys, etc)
-My modded version of Universal-Inject-Generator (https://github.com/staticsn0w/Universal-NZ-Injector-Generator)
-CFW (AuReiNand, Cakes, RxTools, etc)
-Homebrew CIA you want to inject (<4mb in size or UIG will error out!)
-A PC

!!LEAVE ALL FEAR ABOUT YOUR CONSOLE AT THE DOOR. THIS IS OVERWRITING A CORE APPLICATION, AND IF YOU MESS UP, YOU MAY BRICK!!

Step 1: Go to Decrypt9 and go to SysNAND Options -> NintendoZone Dump
Step 2: Enter the code and name the file nz.app
Step 3: Once the dump is finished, press B, and then SELECT to unmount the SD
Step 4: Download my modded UIG and then extract it with your favorite extractor of choice
Step 5: Take out your SD and put it in your computer, drag the nz.app to the input folder of the UIG folder you Extracted
Step 6: Drag the CIA file you want to inject in to the input folder
Step 7(LINUX/MAC): CD to your UIG dir, then run ./go.sh
Step 7(WINDOWS): Run go.bat
Step 8: Drag the banner version of the app to the root of your SD, then rename it to nz.app
Step 9: Eject your SD from your computer
Step 10: Insert your SD in to your 3ds, then press B
Step 11: Go to SysNAND Options -> NintendoZone Inject
Step 12: Choose nz.app as the file to inject
Step 13: Reboot and enjoy!

NOTE: This was for fun and has no real purpose until someone patches the system to allow booting of Nintendo Zone from firmware above 9.9 (I think it's 9.9, but i'm not sure), nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed this small little tutorial :)

Gonna try it right now :D
Step 1: Go to Decrypt9UI and go to SysNAND Options -> NintendoZone Inject
Also shouldn't it be NintendoZone Dump?

EDIT:
Fixed, bad exctraction probably.
When I run go.bat, I get

Code:
'paused' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
and force closes

Nice, got to inject BBM.[Although it can't be booted] Good work guys:)

@staticsn0w first, the D9 with the nintendo zone option is just Decrypt9WIP (not D9UI). :P
You forgot to tag people in the first post. :P
And the max size will vary depending on region, yes they're different sizes for some reason. lol
There's also only currently 2 versions of the app too. v0 and v1034.

And the decrypted app sizes per region is as follows:
Only available in JPN, USA and EUR apparently. (no KOR, CHN or TWN)

JPN v0 - 4.93MB
JPN v1034 - 4.74MB

USA v0 - 4.93MB
USA v1034 - 5.53MB

EUR v0 - 4.93MB
EUR v1034 - 4.49MB

btw you can just downgrade the homemenu to like <9.9 to start nintendo zone
It would be more useful if AuReiNand or KeksFW patched it without needing to be on 9.9.

Oh sorry Shadowtrance :P

and as for it being just D9 and not D9UI it was an assumption by me lol. Since you made D9UI I thought you would have merged it in to D9UI in a separate branch. And as for the file sizes, should everyone just get the USA v1034 for the most space? Or would they have to use regionfree patch for that :/

Very useful! Thank you!

No problem :)
