Hi.
I downgraded my O3ds from 10.5 to 9.2 yesterday. Everything went as expected and I successed in downgrading. I thought that downgrading to 9.2 would mean that you could install any working cia on the condition that it was from the right region (EUR, since I live in Europe). Was I wrong, or am I missing something? When I tried to install HWL and Kid Icarus through NASA they really didn't install, though it would look like they did.
I'm quite unsure what I have done wrong. Are the cias at fault or what?

Help would be much appriciated. Thanks in advance.

Great question. Frankly I don't know. Because I don't even know the difference between the two...
SysNAND then. Follow this guide to part 3 if you want EmuNAND to install CIAs on (slower boot time, around 90% boot rate), or if you want to go the extra mile, follow the guide fully if you want a9lh, giving you a faster boot time and 100% boot rate. A9LH does have a slight chance of bricking, but that's usually if you don't follow the guide to the letter.

So the only way I'll be able to install any game, except those few legit games - which I already have - is to do what you mentioned with EmuNAND?

I made a mistake and edited my post accordingly.
Saw it. :)

Quick question. In the guide you mentioned, on part 3, EmuNAND isn't really mentioned. So this still does what you mentioned with installing cias from EmuNAND? Sorry for being so questioning.
EDIT: seems like you were right.

Once again I'm here to bug you. So after completing step 3 I WILL be able to install any cia through NASA and it will happen through EmuNAND and will actually work?

This is sort of right and wrong.

If you want to go for a MenuHax+EmuNAND//RedNAND setup, then don't stop at part 3. Stop on Part 4, Section I, Step 26. This is so you have proper NAND backups of both your EmuNAND and SysNAND, as well as have injected FBI into your EmuNAND.

Then once that's done, change your menuhax configuration to something that suits you, like type 2 autoboot, or however you want to trigger your menuhax that fits your needs.

Then look into improving your menuhax bootrate by looking at this link:

No, do what I told you and stop on Part 4, Section I, Step 26. Forget about NASA, NASA only does legit CIAs. FBI let's you install all those dirty CIAs.

However, if you want to go the extra mile, like Snowdori said, then finish the whole guide, to have A9LH+CFW+Updated SysNAND, and not have to deal with menuhax or having to use an EmuNAND//RedNAND, unless and only if you choose and decide to have an EmuNAND//RedNAND in your setup with A9LH.

Jeez, this is getting A LOT more complex than I would have hoped. Anyhow I have mixed feelings about everything atm. I'll have to think about it all. Thanks for all the info you guys have given me. Pehaps I'll be back later today telling you how it went.

If you are already on 9.2. Then just setting up MenuHax+RedNAND//EmuNAND is the simplest way to go.

It's also pretty simple to setup A9LH if you just follow the guide as it is written and don't skip anything.

It is just time consuming, and requires you to read. But anywho, good luck OP, with whatever you decide to do. ^_^

So I am on the last instruction of part 3 (26). It says that I'm supposed to update RedNAND. Through the system update I assume. Well it fails after attempting to update. It has filled up the bar to a third once.
Halp meh.
EDIT: it finally worked

I have now entered part 4. My question now is; how do I make RedNAND default?
EDIT: saw how to.

  • 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
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol

    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
