I would use mset, but Im using that for gateway. and about keeping 4.3, its just my gateway is all set up and im not sure if i will lose all my games and saves on emunand and would have to got through installing it all over again
Why would updating sysnand make you lose saves on emunand? If you were playing them on emunand already there is nothing to worry about. The tricky part is actually updating sysnand to 9.2. You MUST use a CFW that does NOT firmlaunch. That means mini pasta, or older rxtools using pasta mode or devmode, or something like that.

OK gonna try this, but do you know if I can still boot GW emunand using ds profile exploit? or would i just use menuhax to boot into GW?

Yes, use sysupdater, but you still need to heed my warning. You must launch sysnand WITHOUT A FIRMLAUNCH. This means pasta, minipasta, devmode, etc. you will soft brick if you don't. There is also a GW.3dsx you can use to launch GW offline from HBC, or Gateway_cia.

Yes, you can. You can also use funkeyCIA or funkyCIA2 to grab updates with your computer.

Hi. I just downgraded from 10.7 to 9.2 using OoT3Dhax. I downloaded the latest Emunand9, starter kit, rxtools v2.6, and python 2.7.10.
But when I try to run cdn_firm.py, it opens for a second then closes. It does not generate the latest firmware.bin.

Run it from a command line so you can see the problem. You don't double-click .py files. Rxtools is kind of old and mostly dead, so most experienced users haven't used it in a long while. For all I know, the firm it is trying to download may have been removed from cdn since 11.0.0-33 has a new native_firm.

In that case, you'd better stick to Luma3ds or Cakes.

is there anyway to get the homebrew app to launch directly from my SysNand using RxTools 3.0b?
Are you using a9lh? If so, you can install hblauncher_loader (sorry, forgot the exact name)

Edit: you probably don't. iirc, I built my own, but don't think there was ever a public release of an a9lh rxtools that I can remember.

im trying to install a9lh but i need to get OTP first an it requires homebrew booting straight from SysNand.

Hello,


I recently installed the new version of rxTools 3.0 beta 2 on my o3DS v9.2.0.20E. After pressing a key (after installation) to boot rxMode. it freezes. Even after retrying to boot the rxmode (sys an emu) through browser hax it still freezes. I still can browse the rxTools menu.


Am I missing something?


Greetings Keima

I have the exact same issue, the console just freezes on the "Please stand by rxmode is booting" screen when trying to boot rXmode. O3DS on 9.2 here, using the good ol' .bin browser method.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
