Homebrew [Tutorial] How to Install OoT3DHax

[Xiphiidae]

Yeah I've cleared all of my saves already. Ill install menuhax and see if that alleviates the issue. Is there a certain reason why menuhax is better than browserhax for this? Just curious.

Browserhax is just generally finicky and unreliable, and is generally just used a primary entrypoint to install better methods for accessing homebrew for long-term use.

That being said, if it still doesn't work after installing menuhax, then I'm afraid you're better off just getting a Powersaves device (or other save dongle) to intsall oot3dhax.

For installing menuhax, I'm getting an error whenever I select "Install". same goes for when i configure menuhax. Ideas?

install failed: 0x00000002.

What error? What shows on the screen? Try multiple times as well. In addition, try changing your theme to any other theme, then to default, then try the HBL again.

If nothing works, then I don't know what to tell you. Sounds like something is just preventing homebrew apps from working properly. Honestly, oot3dhax installations from the homebrew installer are very finicky and unreliable anyway; maybe getting a Powersaves is the way to go.

Heres whats on screen, do i need menu ropbin installed manually from the homepage?

Also changing my theme, and changing it back to default then attempting to install didn't work unfortunately.

Delete your home menu extdata and try several times to install menuhax.

Also, this has gotten quite off-topic, so all I can say is: just get a save dongle. It'll be less headache in the long run.

The entire folder? or just the00000008f part? Or possibly the 000002 part cause thats whats causing the error?

The entire folder? or just 00000008f/00000002 part?

The 0000008f　 folder (move it to your computer to back it up).

 

[OmegaGamerZer0]

The 0000008f　 folder (move it to your computer to back it up).

the manager won't even open without it now, "failed to open home menu ext data 0000008f" ugh

Try setting a theme and then setting it back to default. If that doesn't work then copy it back then I suppose. Are you sure you haven't set your SD card to be read-only or something?

Honestly, at this point you should just get a save dongle.

Unfortunately that didn't work. One last thing - should i go to the website and try to get a ropbin pertaining to my fw and such and put it on the root? I've looked this up a bit and this is what I've found. Sorry after this ill get out of your hair.

No harm in trying. I have never had to do this, however (to be honest I've never had any of the problems you're facing).

Sorry I can't be of more help, your 3DS seems to be set against homebrew functioning correctly for whatever reason.

Oothax does not need a payload file on the root of the SD card.

I was referring to menuhax previously, which would then be used to attempt to install oot3dhax.

Its cool, thx for taking your time with me. Im having trouble getting this to work but i think ill take your advice and purchase a save dongle. always have been worried about wasting money if they don't work but it seems like this is my only option. Thx again!

Good news!! I got oot3dhax to work! I also got it to work with the correct payload for it to work on 11.2! What i did was use a different larger sd card and an older ropbin for my 9.5 3ds, and got menuhax to work. Then, with menuhax working, it actually managed to load up the oot3dhax installer! After that, it was simply installing it as an 11.2 3ds on the 9.5 one, and it worked flawlessly when i switched cartridges!!

Again thx! I wouldn't have gotten this far without you!

Glad to hear that everything worked out. Makes sense that it was an SD issue; from now on I'll always be sure to suggest using a different/formatted/error-checked SD to my self and others.

I need some help... New 3DS XL; I am using firmware version 11.3.0-36U, *hax payload version 2.9 Alpha, only available entry point is soundhax, and I've done the needed preparations for installation, such as wiping my save data. Upon trying to install oot3dhax using the sploitlauncher, it gets stuck on a green screen on the bottom screen... indefinitely. Please help! This is driving me mental... I've done everything correct, to my assumptions! And it still is not working!

Is the sploit_installer compatible with 11.5? I'm trying to write the save in a cartridge and always leads me to error 00002 (The title this sploit_installer is running under is not supported)
Luma is updated to the latest version

The new homebrew launcher followed by the new luma doesn't work. You need to downgrade Luma3DS back to 7.1, download the legacy Homebrew Launcher from smealums github and install it like that
