Hacking Problem installing DevMenu

[mrfires]

So I downgraded today and got the CFW working and everything, but I found out I need to already have a demo or game already installed for the DevMenu to be installed. Am I screwed? I can't connect to the store to download anything.

That part isn't requires anymore as far as I know.

The run.bat works just fine, but DevMenu never shows up on the home screen.

 

[StriderVM]

Reboot, go back to CFW and reinstall devmenu again.

 

[mrfires]

Now it seems to be unable to boot into CFW... shoot.

 

[mrfires]

Got into CFW but now the run.bat is saying it cannot connect

oh darn diddly.

one word of advice dont give up..

Yeah, it's just so hard to install DevMenu, after that it's smooth sailing after that.

I've already installed the CFW to 3 Classic 3DS units (Two Japanese and one US unit). It's always the DevMenu part.

is devmenu only for cfw? i remember seeing it launcher in the n3ds video, how would i go about doing this on the 2DS?

Lucky For you
after installing it. I felt so happy. LOL I think there are certain conditions to be met, and even one condition will be missed.. you will get the failed to connect error.

no.. gateway user can also DevMenu. its an application to install .cia files and File organizer for the 3ds. I dont know if 2ds is supported with CFW though

same method when installing to a normal 3ds

Is devmenu related to launching homebrew or just the stuff you mentioned?

DevMenu is needed if you want to install "your legally owned bought" 3ds games on the SD card

 

[StriderVM]

A 2DS cannot install the CFW as the CFW only works in a 4.5 FW. In which the 2DS cannot downgrade to.

 

[StriderVM]

Certain homebrew also have CIA files. It's really up to the homebrew maker to have a CIA version though.

Alright so I finally got everything working! But I've been thinking. Is there any real advantage to the CFW over Gateway? As I play around with the CFW some more, I'm finding more problems with it. For example, playing recent games can be a huge pain. I know there's ways to get emunand updated or whatever to the latest firmware on the CFW, but it's a huge hassle. That said, is it just easier to get a Gateway at this point?

You don't need the cfw if you have a Gateway (except if you want to extract your non 6.X retail cartdrige saves). The gateway is already compatible with devmenu/BigBlueMenu.

yup.. I dont see what's the reason of people doing a tutorial "Installing CFW with Gateway" and people actually CFW their 3ds , I mean... what the hell will you do on CFW if you have a gateway??
