@motezazer I don't know if the quote failed. Here.
@capito27 @nop90 And one more important thing. There isn't any LICENSE that protects the software. I suggest to pick one from [TLDR].
Then it could be discussed on github. I think this CFW is provided AS-IS. So let users themselves take the legal duty.
@AlbertoSONIC Sorry i forgot you.. and you, @Psi-hate, and @felipejfc (doge?).

This is really funny.

I don't care licenses. Nintendo user agreement should be enough for people caring legal matters.

Someone earlier in the thread talked about Download Play not working. It happens for EVERY game I get that's a non-legit CIA. When you go to initiate Download Play distribution aka open a room for Download Play only, it just doesn't even work. It says there's a communication error. You can play local or online just fine, but if you want to start Download Play it fails.
Why do you think this is? Someone I don't think gave enough information on the matter, so I wanted to ask again. I also wanted to ask if anyone else had any luck with non-legit CIAs and Download Play.

So following the instructions to install pasta, following the process. But I never got the software management data is corrupted message and it just gives me the 'there is no accessible software data'.

Still went forward and got pasta installed, but can't do .cias. Any advice on what to do? I'm trying to remove the anti save game restore function on a few games, but am using an older 3DS that's not my main to run the the CFW. Would that be the issue as why replacing the title and import isn't doing anything?

I get the following.


Install failed!
Could not install app.
Raw Error: 0xc8a0802b
Module: AM (0x20)
Level: Status (0x19)
Summary: Invalid state (0x5)
Description: Database does not exist (0x2b)

Ninjhax installed with no problems, and I didn't get any errors opening Pasta and going back into Ninjhax. So the only thing left is to look at any anomalies that occurred. Unless I got a crap version of Savedatafiler AND BBM. But I tried 3 different ones, all the same error.

Is there a way to check to make sure the same that pasta properly installed? Or is there something else I need to download for it to work? My version is 9.2.0.20u.

Have not done anything retaining to Emuand. Only initiated NinjHax and Pasta CFW.
From the opening post of this thread:
Question : I get a database error when installing CIAs!
Answer : If you get an error when installing a CIA with FBI, remember to make a title.db file in your "Nintendo 3DS/id1/id2/dbs" folder, and go to software management to fix the issue, you will then be able to install CIAs with FBI.

That's nice and all, but if actually took the time to read all my posts instead of the last one to make a stock response, you'll see I mentioned doing that but I never got the' software management data is corrupted' message that you're normally supposed to get and it just gives me the 'there is no accessible software data'.

Did you accidentally create a folder "id0" in the "Nintendo 3DS" folder instead of using the hex garble the 3DS should create when you boot to the home menu for the first time?

Example: (underlined parts vary)
SD:Nintendo 3DS/fcd650ca0daf5bd2e43029e801c00e42/c62c00ac4760aeca534430320002544d/dbs/title.db

Negative. I went into Nintendo 3DS, and then the first garbled folder, which lead to a second garbled folder which lead to dbs, extdata, Nintendo DSiWare and title. I replaced the necessary files in dbs.

There are also 2 other garbled folders but they both only contain a second garbled folder and then extdata. I assume they are from my 2 system transfers.

Well, it's gotta be one of the other two if it complains about a missing db. Try creating a folder with an empty title.db file in each of the other two and see if FBI/am:net feels like cooperating after that.

Well hot taco, that actually worked.

Granted when I access savedatafiler It only gives me 002FF and FF40A and says they're both broken.


Edit: I'm guessing this is a side effect of that whole 'data is corrupt' part of the process. How do I put my old data back on the SD card without everything getting wrecked. And is there a way to identify what the Mii Maker and Mii Plaza data is? I tried using this for reference looking through my folders, but no luck

I'm trying to run Pasta CFW on a 7.2.0-17E 2DS and it keeps crashing.
I can run Ninjhax fine but when I try to run Pasta CFW it just freezes there.
Is it normal?

Does online multiplayer with legit cia work in Pasta or in other words, is it safe to try turning wi fi on in game and playing online without the 3DS trying to download a system update?

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
