I am using OoThax to get to homebrew launcher...

i see so that means you are merely relying on your OOTHax to get to Homebrew Launcher then.. in answer to your question, yes it is possible to install Luma.. pls follow the guide on the link i just gave to you.. you would need CFW which the guide will tell you what to do and the things you need to be able to install Homebrew Launcher as a .cia and FBI, etc..etc..

Thanks, 'preciate the help. Unfortunately, that link you provided me with keeps mentioning that I need to DOWNGRADE my n3ds XL firmware to 9.2 in order to get CFW running.

I have yet to perform a system downgrade. Is there ANY WAY POSSIBLE on firmware 11.2.0-35U to open/install .cia files through OoThax?? This is ultimately my goal without the desire to downgrade firmwares at the moment... I apologize if I am being redundant...

You need to install CFW in order to use Cias, and the best way to boot CFW can only be installed on 2.1 (hence the need of a downgrade)

sorry i cant be more clear, you need to downgrade initially to be able to run CFW, FBI, and install .cia .. when all is done then you could go back to 11.2 without losing cfw and homebrew.. i am currently running Luma+a9lh sys11.2 with all my games and homebrew intact..by the way, regarding PSOne games, i dont think the 3DS is the best console for it but certainly it could run PSOne games tho not buttery smooth..

if you only care for PSOne games then a PSP Go or PSP2000/3000 is perfect for the job..and it is a lot cheaper than a Vita plus easier to hack..

I'm on a 9.2.0 o3DS with Luma and AL9h (downgraded from 10.7.32u), alongside with backups and FreakyHax Deluxe. To my knowledge it is safe to upgrade to 11.2, but should I?

I want to play 3DS games, but many of them require a higher system firmware as 9.2.0 is old as dirt. I've tried Googling how to simply specifically update to a certain firmware with a fully shacked 3DS, but to no avail.

So is it worth the upgrade? Will it break any existing homebrew (i.e FBI, or my GBI cia's, etc)? My Google-fu is only bringing up threads that say it is safe to update, but no information as to what it might break other than a few entrypoints (which, since I'm on AL9h+Luma, I should be fine without).

You're safe to update. Nothing will break unless you use NTR at all. BootNTR Selector works on the latest firmware. Also make sure Luma is up to date.

    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
