Homebrew Old3ds 9.7.0-0E Anyway to Softmod?

[Deadly_The_Gnome]

I've got an old 3DS on firmware 9.7.0-0E and want to softmod it, I've got another 3DS on 11.3 that's softmodded and was thinking of doing the 11.4 3DS to 3DS method but would like to check if there is ANY other method out there?

I can't do the browserhax or soundhax as its a stock 3DS

Any brainstorming would be greatly appreciated.
**
Edit - Just pointing out, I've read the 3DS guide and softmodded 2 other 3DS's Just not done a stock firmware one - No browser and no soundhax available.

Have you checked the guide that gets mentioned EVERY TIME someone asks this EXACT question?

Go to 3ds.guide, it will help you get cfw.

look at
https://3ds.guide/
take it Very slow and READ slow and carefully
and you should be able to get homebew

Yup, tried 3DSGuide. The only option I can see is the OOT method or the 11.4 3DS to 3DS method.

I just wanted to see if there was something I was missing before I try to get a copy of OOT or risk the 11.4 method.

Umm you've clearly not read it properly, if you're NOT on 11.4 why the hell are you looking at it?

What you need is

I can't do soundhax or browserhax because its a stock 3DS on 9.7.0-0E there's no browser installed and the soundplayer has never been updated to play M4A files
The reason I was looking at the 11.4 method was because I already have a softmodded 3DS so I could do the system transfer option, its just that it looks like its a complete ballache to do that way around, so I was just doubling down and checking if I've missed something before I bite the 11.4 bullet.

you clearly did not read the first post

I've got an old 3DS on firmware 9.7.0-0E

that means you cant offer soundhax as his initial homebrew entrypoint

Dude Soundhax works on all versions of the 3ds firmware that have the Soundplayer

no thats not true it will only work on the latest version of 3ds sound (its updated alongside the browser . . . no browser means old 3ds sound app = no soundhax)

Except the factory stock firmwares ending in .0-0E (and anything under 7.0?) And there's no option to download a payload for firmwares ending in -0 (I think to deter people from trying further with the stock firmware)

Upgrade to sub 11.4 with a cart update game?

Upgrade to sub 11.4 with a cart update game?

then the problem will remain

 

[fowler002]

Then just chuck it in the bin then, save yourself and everyone time

That makes perfect sense, heaven forbid someone try to ask a like minded community to help brainstorm some ideas to solve a problem.

I'd suggest updating to 11.4 and using a hardmod/DSiWareHax.

 

[Hayleia]

If you can get your hands on a secondary entrypoint game cartridge, that would be less annoying than the "11.4 3DS to 3DS method". You could borrow it from a friend, backup the save, hack your 9.7, and restore the save.
Otherwise, well yeah, the "11.4 3DS to 3DS" method should work if your other 3DS that is already hacked is an Old one too, not a New one.

 

[Deleted member 381889]

Since you're in the UK, I could do DSiWareHax for you if you don't have a hacked 3ds?

 

[Deadly_The_Gnome]

I've got another 3DS on 11.2 that's running CFW. For the DSiWareHax what firmware does the 3DS have to be on? Will I need to update it to 11.4 to get into the eStore to buy the DSiWare?

What game cartridges have the entry point I'd need for the 9.7.0 3DS or would I still need to update?

Thank you for the offer to help.

You'll have to update your modded one to 11.4 to do the system transfer from what I've read, if the modded one is on b9s 1.2 then you really have no reason not to be on 11.4 anyway.
