Hacking Question about the state of my 3ds

[anthony001]

Here is my spec

Well.. does it still work? You need to install CFW if you want to play VC games including NES/SNES, and TWilightmenu++ homebrew software to run DS games. Here's the guide.

thanks
its working fine for now. i checked and it has luma3ds 6.6 installed.
was wondering if these options/config are ok in Luma3DS

Default emuNAND 1
Screen Brightness 4
Splash Off
PIN Lock off
New 3DS CPU off
Dev features Off

Autoboot SysNAND (x)
Use SysNAND Firm if booting with R (x)
Enable loading external FIRMs and modules ()
Use custom path ()
enable region language emu ()
show NAND or user string in System settings (x)
Show GBA boot screen in patched AGB_FIRM ()
Patch SVC/service/archive/ARM9 access ()

also the n3ds has the luma3ds updater (I think). it looks like a blue green 3d mario star with eyes. can i use this to update my luma3ds to the latest or shoud i just use the guide provided above (not sure on the version of the lumaupdater)

for luma under 7.0.5. you will want to go with https://3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s to update to the most recent stuff

@anthony001 It's most likely you're still on A9lh, and you need to convert to boot9strap (use the guide on the link above to do it) in order to upgrade Luma3DS to the latest version.

I'd still continue to do that.

There's Ftpd homebrew app that you can use to transfer files from your phone/PC to your 3DS. It's useful for small files, anything above 1GB will take some time. The Speed is about 300Kbps~1Mbit.

Just uninstall them the normal way. The ticket will still be on the system though.

ya dont cheat online, and ya dont pull and chargebacks on credits cards. Dont do those, and you will be fine.

on the most bare minimum what should i backup on my 3ds sd card so that in case of failure i can just slot in a new sd card. i dont really care about installed cia games or apps.

New 3DS XLs have an official 'microSD management' function in system settings: https://en-americas-support.nintend...ove-files-between-a-new-nintendo-3ds-xl-and-a. You can copy files (e.g. CIAs to install with FBI) onto the SD card over the network rather than ejecting the card.

 

[godreborn]

if using windows 10, you have to enable smb 1.0 to use micro sd card management. it's in windows features in add/remove programs. it's disabled by default, because smb 1.0 has security risks.

Backup your saves with Checkpoint for 3DS/VC games (if you have any) , DS saves are on the saves folder if you use TWilightmenu, Luma/GodMode9 & other homebrew software (fbi, Homebrew Channel..) files should be on the sd card you can either backup or re-DL'em from the internet.
