So I did the steps i needed to do with my flashcard and then got to the part where i need to force it into sleep mode. Thing is that when i turn it on holding down X start select and power nothing really happens till i move the magnet away (it turns on like normal). What am i doing wrong? I'm following this vid.

First off don't use vid guides as they get out dated quickly use 3ds.guide. Second, You sure you have every thing in the right folders and stuff?

If the system doesn't turn on at all, it isn't registering the button presses. If it does turn on (blue light) but has black screens, it turned on normally and is in sleep mode. In the first case, make sure that your buttons all work and you are holding them as you press the power button (and hold them for a few seconds). In the second case, make sure your cart is flashed with ntrboot and is inserted properly.

This might help... A checklist to make sure you're doing everything from 3ds.guide right:
  • 1) Remove ntrboot cartridge and reinsert
  • 2) Ensure magnet position is correct and is putting the console to sleep (on old 2DS: ensure sleep switch is enabled)
  • 3) Ensure you are using the correct button combo: (X) + (Start) + (Select) + (Power)
  • 4) Ensure that you are holding down the button combo long enough
  • 5) Ensure "SafeB9SInstaller.firm" is on the root of your 2DS/3DS own SD/microSD card and renamed to "boot.firm"
  • 6) Ensure "boot9strap.firm" and "boot9strap.firm.sha" are in the /boot9strap/ folder of your 2DS/3DS own SD/microSD card
  • 7) Ensure the contents of "starter.zip" (Homebrew Starter Kit) have been copied to the root of your 2DS/3DS own SD/microSD card
(When I first used my ntrboot card for the first time, I had not renamed "SafeB9SInstaller.firm" to "boot.firm"... Before I fixed my mistake, it would look like my New 2DS XL system was just powering itself off each time I used the button combo... If this is happening to you, double check everything again!)

And yes, like others have suggested, ditch the video. Just use 3ds.guide instead.

    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.

  • 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)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
