I just went ahead with the 9.2 to 2.1 method. I almost bricked because I forgot to do the nimSM step the first time, and it failed, but booted in to 9.2..... but I didn't trust it, so I did the 9.2 downgrade again, the right way, and it went smooth as butter.
It's a Galaxy N3DS XL for my girlfriend. Mine is a black N3DS XL.

You need a bittorrent client like qBitTorrent installed to handle magnet links.

I have a question: I have a N3DSXL on 11.2 and a NNID with a bunch of games I've bought on it. Let's say they release the exploit for 11.2. Will the NNID still be working on my console after the process? I don't want to lose games I've paid for.
Thank you
Thank you

So after the process all my details will still be on it? It isn't going to delete my NNID or say it's linked to a different 3DS is it?
İ deleted soundhax and fast hax and then Jüst reinstaled them and it Just worked again.
cause i still ha
Nope cause i have my NNID after all of that..just follow the guide and you'll get through

Thanks a bunch man. Still gotta wait for it to work with 11.2 though, what firmware were you on?
11.0..i just never decided to upgrade because i had a feeling something like this would happen..i just used waithax but most likely fasthax will be better
So I used Waithax instead of SVChax after downgrading my NFIRM from 11.2. I keep getting "[!] PM INIT Failed!" when I run Safehax. I downloaded the newest waithax. Was using Waithax instead of svchax wrong?

Why? You have to ctrtransfer to 2.1.0 anyway, you're literally just cutting out the step of having to be on 9.2.0 in the first place.
Waithax doesn't work on 11.2.0, and it won't work on an NFIRM downgraded to 10.4 (2.50-11) either, I believe. SVChax should work if you've downgraded your NFIRM, but you shouldn't've downgraded your NFIRM and just waited until fasthax is released.

Downgrading to 9.2 serves no useful purpose. You'll be on 2.1 for like 5 minutes tops and then you'll restore to the version you were on before by restoring your NAND backup.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
You should use svchax as these ARM11 kernel exploits exploit the NFIRM and you are on the same NFIRM as 10.4-10.7.

Unless theyve fixed the OTPless method then you would need to downgrade unless I missread something in this thread where you use another method to get A9HL working. OTPlesss is prone to bricking (bricked one already with it).
OTPless is not fixed. The whole point is that you can now do a ctrtransfer to 2.1.0 straight from 11.x. No 9.2 downgrade needed.

@
TwoSpikedHands:
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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -
