Okay thanks. So ill probably go with the lower version 3ds. Additionally I will get a game which is on a list that states it will upgrade my 3ds to 4.4./9.2. For example Rayman Origins or Fantasy Petz for 4.4.

So first I get my Console's OTP, and after that I can either go to 4.4 or 9.2? Ill buy the according game ofc. So 9.2 would be the better choice right?

Thank you for the taking the time to answer my rather noobish questions, but that's just what i am in this field :>
But a gamecard will not update the browser. Better update to 4.5 and update to 9.2 with sysupdater.

you can't actually run the homebrew launcher on 4.4, not even with ninjhax 1.1b due to the browser being too old.

you would use something called rxTools pasta mode + sysUpdater as cia to go to 9.2.0-20.

My bad on that. you are absolutely right

I have an O3DS with 2.2.0-4e FW but browser OTP hack don't work. It makes glitchy screen.
This is the tutorial I tried: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/9.2.0-Update-(Browser-OTP)
How can I dump my OTP?

Can I dump it with a SKY3DS and a NinjaCube rom?
According to https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/9.2.0-Update
Browser OTP is for 2.1. I believe it only works on that firmware.
So you can either buy a copy of Cubic Ninja (expensive) or get a game with a 4.x or 6.x update on it (cheaper) and update the 3DS using that, but you will need a DS flashcart to install the mset exploit once on 4.x or 6.x.

SafeA9LHInstaller shows a glitched screen
This happens occasionally, but the reason is unknown. The buttons will still work, but the screen will be glitched looking.

  1. Follow instructions as normal
    1. Press select and arm9loaderhax will be installed
    2. The console will reboot

Yes, you can. In fact, you have to--Cubic Ninja is the only known method of getting the OTP on that (short of upgrading to 9.2 and then downgrading to 2.1). Use the Plailect guide.

Note that this is not Ninjhax; it's a special Cubic Ninja method that directly gets the OTP.

Also, THE ORIGINAL POSTER SHOULD KNOW THIS. If you have 2.2 and you want to get the OTP, you will need Cubic Ninja. He didn't say he has Cubic Ninja, and none of the people telling him to get the 2.2 because of the OTP bothered to mention that this won't do him any good unless he has Cubic Ninja. So he's probably going to end up buying it and find that he's nothing he can do (except upgrade to 9.2 and downgrade to 2.1, which is no easier than doing it with the other machine).

Hi, yesterday I bought a SKY3DS card for my 2.2.0-4E old 3ds.
I installed Cubic Ninja on it and tried the tutorials with many tries but OTP.bin file never created on the SD.
Is it because of running Cubic Ninja from SKY3DS? What do you think?

Yes, this is the tutorial I followed. I tried all qr codes, reformatted sd and 3ds. Only 2.2 qr restart my system, other codes are freezing. *my 3ds is EU version.

    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
