I've had my 2DS for a while with CFW and never got around to creating a NNID. I wanted to make one since some stuff on the eShop requires a NNID, when I tried to make one it freezes on the screen after the Nintendo Network ID settings button is pressed and then kicks me out back to the home screen saying an error has occurred. Does anyone know a possible solution?

I have a 2DS running Luma on the latest update

Yes it is possible to create an NNID on a CFW 3DS/2DS. Unfortunately it doesn't solve your problem... When did you hax your 2DS? Are you using emuNAND or sysNAND with A9LHAX?
Are you on 11.1 and latest Luma files.

I have a feeling that maybe some system files could be from a previous version and when eShop sees that it boots you out.

I got my 2DS in around June, I finished installing cfw/luma/a9lh prob around in june/july. I believe its sysNAND im using with a9lhax, i followed Plailect's guide.

Ye im on 11.1 with latest Luma files

I wonder if re-installing the 11.1 cias would fix the issue. You could also try maybe backing up you NAND and do a system format. With the new system try to create a NNID then flash back you old NAND and sign in with your NNID. If not you may have to downgrade to something like 9.2, update back to 11.1 and see if that works. I have a feeling something is botched in your system titles probably something like a franken firmware but its just a hunch.

Make sure you do your research and have multiple clean backups of 11.1 NAND, 9.2 NAND and OTP.

I was thinking about the format thing but wasn't 100% the process of system format. If i backup using hourglass9, do a system format would I lose the cfw/boot option into hourglass9 or would everything still be there?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • 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.

    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)
