So I got this 3DS -

it is a Jap 3ds with a broken camera cable (blackscreens when the camera app is started)

anyway, this isn't my first cfw job,

Did the usual b9s (via ntrboot), region change via ctrnand to U and tiny format for highmem games

I got smash to work so I know high mem games will work (that's my test game ensuring that all is well)

I resell 3ds units to locals here, so I sold it already.

A day later I was asked why "some games" aren't working --
Omega Ruby was working, vc nes (gunsmoke) is working, except for Mario Kart and a few other games.

Mario Kart and Dementium sticks to black screen after the first screen, kart games (mh3 crashes on the loading)


I was informed about this by the buyer so he returned it to me (I give this 7 day personal wty to stuff that I sell so I honored it), he then reported to me that he asked someone else to do a "re-mod" of the 3ds -

I ctrnanded back to 9.2J (lol) just to be faced by a blackscreen,

Gladly gm9 still works, so i edited the secureinfo file to 0 region (for Jap) -

Now the 3ds just black screens on some of the games such as tekken and a few others -

I haven't tested smash again, but I know gunsmoke is still working


I don't have a nandmin backup so I can't go Mint with a nand restore -
I'm unsure if the files in gm9 and other backups are still clean (since he said it was remodded)

so my question is this.

Can i rebuild the nand to virgin state with what I have?
the 3DS seem like a 'chop suey' now -
gm9 has the essentials.exefs - and is the only backup asked when gm9 is first ran.

what do you suggest I do?

I keep getting luma crashes on games
svc break
svc panic
prefetch core 0 something
I'll try to send screens later, (currently installing
the logs are here, I just don't know what to do with them.


so please let me know your thoughts, how I can fix this ass lol -
I'm starting to think this is related to the camera flex but just not quite -- maybe i'll try swapping to a different case with a known working unit just to test.

Thanks

Lol for deleted post -

anyway - just an Update - I think I've somehow fixed it - the files seems to be fine and not shot -

The cam flex is indeed not working so it was causing blackscreens on games (usually the 3ds will not boot at all, perhaps depends on which pins/lines are shot)

anyway, so I unplugged the whole cable and the games are playing properly now.

    in that case, there is no such thing as homebrew launcher for aroma

    you have to launch your homebrews directly from the wii u menu

    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar

    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
