Hacking Where to start?

[wormdood]

Well I went shopping! Walmart!

I know I paid more but I have everything I need now.

i actually prefer it that way there is a dramatically smaller chance of the sd cards being fake knockoffs that way . . . you overpaid on the 64 gigs by like 2 usd each and 5 on the sd reader but otherwise everything is fairly close to the average prices . . .

the 64 gig sds and the 128 will need to be formatted to fat32 use either guiformat (here is a video Format Any USB/SD/MICRO SD Above 64GB+ To FAT32! - YouTube )or easeus partition manager (text instructions with images as provided by easeus How to Convert exFAT to FAT32/NTFS in Windows 10/8/7- EaseUS )to do the job (or you can install cfw on 1 system using a smaller card then use godmode9 to format the other sd cards (while gm9 is loaded press the button combo to eject the sd card you want to format and follow the sd format options found here GodMode9 Usage - 3DS Hacks Guide)) . . . if you want my opinion i personally used easeus to do the job

I plan on just concentrating on "one" unit right now. I only have two of the units "in hand". One-2dsxl and one-n3ds. (waiting on the others one-n3dsxl on order, one-2dsxl being repaired).

Is there anything I can do to save time (in terms of duplicated effort) considering I'll be doing multiple? No problem if not. If not, I'm going to leave the other cards in the package in case I decide to ABORT. hehe

thats fine . . . and i would not recommend downloading files for the future, its not like it happens daily but they do update guides and i would hate for an issue to arise due to a version update of some sort . . . its better to get it done it one sitting (per console)

Getting ready to start. Regarding Fredminer, you said this

it uses a few of terms that the average end lv user wont understand

Anything you can give me a heads up on?

you overpaid ... 5 on the sd reader

What the heck?? hehe I was gonna pay $10 for the Anker one!

just id0 and id1 . . . but like i said the guide does a good job explaining

• Navigate back to the "Nintendo 3DS" folder on your SD card. You should now only have one long named folder.
• The 32 character name of this long named folder is referred to as your 'id0'. Inside your id0 folder is your id1 folder. Your id1 is not relevant at this time.

i just mean sd readers are really cheap . . . all your cards are microsd and Micro SD(TF) card reader/writer--nds-card.com im just saying you did not need to go so big on that one

haha. I was thinking you provided me those links. I'm giving you credit for EVERYTHING! It's ok because I can use the one with more card options. :-)

These are my boys combing though that list (i printed out) of most popular games. hehe

FAT32 + 32 kb Cluster size?

 

[wormdood]

FAT32 + 32 kb Cluster size?

depends . . . 32 for an sd card 64gb or less . . . 64 for 128 or larger

 

[BigTex-Dallas]

K. Done. It's the 64GB. I used the EaseUS. Sure easier using this forum on my PC.

 

[wormdood]

so if you are ready you can begin the fredminer guide zoogie provided

 

[BigTex-Dallas]

Yep. Starting to look at it. This thread will be a guide in itself by the time we are done. Will you be around if I have a question? I'm slow so this will take me a while I'm sure.

1. If all was successful, you should have booted to JPN Flipnote. Follow these slides in order to boot into b9stool. Here's a video if you prefer that.

On the tenth slide it shows I should have a face icon or something. I do not.

Your save file for that game is likely not in the right place.
Make sure to extract (i.e. decompress) that file and place the /private folder in your sd card's root (beside boot.nds).

Edit: I've attached a zip of the two files that might give you trouble (because you have to install a Windows program to extract them).
You can open the SD_files.zip and put the files inside on the sd root.
