Since yesterday I am despairing. Ich tried with NtrBoothax to install my N3DsXL Custom Firmwares but what does not work. Already at the magnet I do not go further when I release the buttons Start Select X and Power off my N3Ds just turns off. I've already formatted the SD card from N3DS and reinstalled everything but it always comes the same result. I've done everything as in this video here:

I would actually recommend using the latest videos from this channel. This channel keeps itself up to date. But this is an irregular case. Also no new stuff in the progress of this method of B9S installation
Even if the channel keeps itself up to date, the guide linked above updates constantly. It's better to follow 3ds.guide than a video guide because a video guide will ALWAYS be outdated. On this particular forum, please never suggest that anyone follow video guides again. No one cares how up-to-date the channel is.

Yeah of course the guide is superior.. but c'mon, as a former (complete) newbie (not that I'm that better now lmao) I know how annoying it is to follow a text guide. I always preferred video guides.
Also idk if the shit will actually be outdated, at least in the installation itself. The only way I can see this video getting outdated is a new free method to hack 11.4-11.5 consoles, but the process itself will never change. If you want to use Ntrboothax in particular.. I can't see why would things actually change
I respect your advise but this is a newbie from my understanding and since I've experienced being in this state of knowledge not long ago, I know how hard it is
Sorry for my poor English lul

I understand where you're coming from. And in my past experiences as a noob, I once followed an outdated YouTube video guide to install arm9loaderhax on a dud system that I didn't particularly care for anymore before I re-discovered GBAtemp and 3ds.guide back when it was a 5-page wiki, albeit nothing when wrong with the install. But, as we know now, OP at least knows of 3ds.guide's existence as they attempted to follow it.

thats because you need to start with the power off and then power on while holding the buttons not the other way around

start with the power off
place the magnet
then hold the buttons and add start do not release any buttons until you notice a change in the power light or screens

Can you explain it again? Maybe it is really the wrong button combination
ok with the power on test the magnet placement once you find it remove the magnet and power off (. . . if you need help with placement remember that sleep mode is normally triggered by the magnet located in your right speaker so try to place your magnet where the speaker would line up when you close the console)
once the system fully powers down replace the magnet
(Start) + (Select) + (X) then add to it (power) button . . . do not release any button until the system power lights turn on or the screen back-lights come on (whichever happens first)

Unfortunately does not work
then you likely have the magnet in the incorrect place ... play around with it until you can make the 3ds sleep 100% of the time (. . . if you need help with placement remember that sleep mode is normally triggered by the magnet located in your right speaker so try to place your magnet where the speaker would line up when you close the console)

  • 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

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

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
