the 3ds.guide and got to the "Finalizing setup" part and tried launching FBI, but it just sits there and loads forever.... Is there something I'm missing?

I have had the 3ds for a few days now. Came to me on 11.4 and haven't even played a game on it, so I'm pretty new to all of this stuff. The hardmodding was the easy part for me :(

Which step are you on specifically?

https://3ds.guide/finalizing-setup section iii - launching FBI part 10, where it's supposed to launch homebrew launcher. it just has that loading screen that runs continuously.

Try with the 3DSX version or try injecting FBI again with Hourglass9.
Also, what's your 3ds ver? New or old? Version?

So I'm pretty new to all of this... by that do you mean what I did? I put the FBI.3dsx into the /3ds/ folder that I created on my SD Card.

That part about injecting FBI with Hourglass9 completely lost me. I'll look into it, though. Thanks.

Edited to add, New 3DS XL

Maybe you didn't follow that? You're in 11.3X, right?

Ohh, I'll give that a go, too. I just had it in /3ds/

I didn't, because I'm new to all of this. Is that a part of GodMode? I held start while booting and got to this menu... but still don't know what to do from there.

Alright, injecting FBI with Hourglass9 worked! FBI is now running. For those of you in the future who are new AF like me...
I downloaded Hourglass9 and put the .bin into the luma/payloads folder.
Booted up by holding START during power on and selected Hourglass9... then followed these directions

You can find Universal Inject Generator in Plailect's guide.
Link: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-4-(2.1.0-Downgrade)

If it's Hourglass9, then follow these instructions.
  1. Open Hourglass9, then go to "SysNAND Backup/Restore", then select the "Health & Safety Dump" option to dump Health & Safety to hs.app (you can use Up and Down / Left and Right to change the name)
  2. Press Select to eject your SD card, then put it in your computer
  3. Extract Universal Inject Generator, then copy both hs.app from your SD card and FBI.cia from the FBI zip to the input folder
  4. Double click go.bat (or execute go.sh with Terminal on Linux / Mac)
  5. Copy FBI_inject_with_banner.app to the root of your SD card and reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
  6. Press B on Hourglass9, then go to "SysNAND Backup/Restore" and select the "Health & Safety Inject" option
  7. Press down once to select FBI_inject_with_banner.app, then press A and confirm to inject
  8. Go to the main menu, then press Start to reboot

At some point during that process, I had to hit certain buttons to verify what I was doing... but it worked perfectly. Now off to finish the guide.

Thanks, Braixen! I'm hoping to get this all squared away soon as I'll be taking a loooooong flight to Japan soon and need something to keep me occupied.

Cool! You will go to japan!?!! Heck yeah!
Also nice to see now FBI is working. Now install FreeShop,and welcome to paradise! also, and at the least keep 2 NAND.sha.bin,NAND.BIN and NANDMIN.BIN in your pc if something bricked your console.

Yeah, I uploaded them to a bunch of cloud storage accounts.

Am I correct in my understanding that a system version less than 11.4.0.37-U will be able to run CFW by just using software/soundhax?

Yes. And with ntrboothax coming at some point soon probably, you will be able to run CFW on any 3DS on any firmware with just a flashcart and magnet.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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.
