Okay so here's what I have done so far.

Bought a N3DS XL yesterday that was running 9.6 20U.

Installed Brower hacks and menuhax and the sys updater.

Went to the "site" and downloaded the 9.2 U files and placed them on SD card and also downloaded Safesys and ran a check of my files which all turned out Good.

After many attempts to DG through sysupdater (not safes sys btw) it finally started. It then installed a few files (could be more) and then got the error screen please reboot n3ds.
Okay so I reboot the system and it comes on to my suprise. I then go the Settings just out of curiosity and it says my FW version is now 9.2 (but pretty sure I'm half assed there). Anyways I insert SD and try to acess HBL through Brower hax and it works!

So I then download downgrade check 2.0 and run the app. Well here's what pops up

So 24 total mismatched version files.

Now I heard that I have options I take it?
-Redowngrade using sysupdater
-Try to install CFW
-Upgrade then try to Redowngrade
-mini pasta?

Any help with steps would be immensely helpful. I'm totally new to the 3ds scene. Thanks!

You're still on a 9.6 nativefirm, so the 9.2 is just the CVER title being installed.
Best bet is just retry the downgrade again. Or just use safesysupdater. Did one of these a couple days ago, just look through my post history. CFW/Pasta won't work since your native firm is 9.6

Ok so I basically just need to go to safesys and redowngrade correct? Not the regular sysupdater but the Safe one

- Redowngrade seems to be the best option.
- You could try installing a CFW, but I don't know if it would fully work because of the partial downgrade, so when you had a problem, you will not be able to know if it is related to this.
- When you say update, you mean to 10.6? If that, you cannot downgrade once you're on 10.6 unless you had your 3ds hardmoded.
- Minipasta would let you install unsigned cias on sysnand, but it is not usually recomended to mess up the sysnand. Also, you could have problems because of the partial downgrade just as in the second option

I should try to redowngrade again... at this point I think the brick chance is smaller than at the beginning, but it is up to you.
You can wait to see if any other users have other options or advices

Either will work as long as it has memchunkhax2.

He has to redowngrade. Native firm is 20262 which is 9.6.0-24 - Pasta/CFW wouldn't work.

So I should just keep that iso download of 9.2 in the updates folder and not touch them(should be good anyways I just checked them using safe and im good to go) or should I delete that "updates" folder and redownload the 9.2 zip and just replace them back so its fresh basically?
thanks fellas! also a note to add I had exactly 104 cia files in that zip. is that correct?

Update i did what Scarletdreamz said and im Currently at the Downgrade Completed Trying to Reboot in 10 secs part. Everything is Green and Done. I been on this screen for about 5 mins. Should i wait or power the device down myself? Heard it can be caused by menuhacks

Following the
EASILY Setup ReiNand CFW, EmuNAND & FBI for NEW 3DS 9.2! guide
and im at the Emunad part were its Creating a Nand.bin file! so far its flawless! did notice my reinnand didnt open one time so i had to reboot but other than that this is awesome!


Made the Bin. Im all setup right after the Cloning part which is at 27 atm. So let me get this write. My emunand(sysnand cannont be updated thats a no no lol) can be updated to what a certain version right? For instance I own pokemon AS and after this im going to go ahead and play it but to play online i think it will trigger a update. So i need to make sure im in The Emunand mode which i can tell by looking at my firmware Should say REi9.2. If i am i can update correct?

  • 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)
