Does thi CIA work on N3DS?
I remember I installed it on my OG3DS right into the sysNAND before I had GW emuNAND running.
I just went into GW mode without formatting the NAND, opened up BBM and installed it, but I want to know if the same can be done for a N3DS.

I never used blue card before, what files should be on blue card micro SD after I install the .cia to play DS games? The 'Blue Card (R4i)' folder, or nothing at all?

This is awesome. I can finally sell my fat DS (yeah I know I'm a bit late to the party).

Anyone want to buy a grey fat DS in good condition?

-Nevermind - Found my answer-

From what I've read as long as you make a backup of your sysnand with gateway you can. You just use the gateway downgrade function with your sysnand backup to get it back to normal.

Lol I replied too late, smyers was asking if you can get your sysnand back to normal after installing this cia.

I have some blue card questions.

1. Should I avoid putting the 3ds to sleep whilst the game is running (like the red card)?
2. Does the .SAV file get written only after you close the game (like the red card)?

So i'm a bit confused as to which versions of the DS Cart Whitelist and TWL_FIRM I should be downloading with 3DSNUS. Are the versions below correct?

DS Cart Whitelist = 0004800F484E4841 - v0 spoofed to v11265
TWL_FIRM = 0004013800000102 - v1489 spoofed to v8818 <[EDIT-Dont spoof version, delete current TWL_FIRM before installing]

Also, would installing these CIA's cause any issues when using the DS profile exploit for Gateway?

Lastly, can both CIA's be installed on all 3DS systems? (3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, n3DS, n3DS XL) If not is there any way to install them on a n3DS?

I'm also curious about this. I'd imagine that region is a factor, but I'm not sure about console-to-console.

dont do anything with TWL_FIRM unless you can properly downgrade it, if you try spoofing you will brick NDS mode

I thought I could delete TWL_FIRM and the reinstall the older version as per Technicmaster0's post?:

This will not work with the New 3DS or New 3DS XL!

A quick update on how to enhance the compatibility widely (so far unknown bricking risk) including DSi mode on CycloDS iEvolution:
1. install the CIA from this thread, stay without EmuNAND
2. Download the TWL_FIRM CIA with 3DNUS and put it on the 3DS' SD card (I tested it with 0004013800000102 v1489 for Europe)
3. Delete the old TWL_FIRM from the NAND
4. Install the new TWL_FIRM CIA

Or do you mean just dont spoof the version number?

  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • 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

    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    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
