Just run it as if it were another different homebrew app, following its instructions
Which file do I download to downgrade?
one is "SafeSysUpdater.3dsx-08.zip"
second is "SafeSysUpdater.cia-08.zip"
Which one do I put in my 3ds?
one is "SafeSysUpdater.3dsx-08.zip"
second is "SafeSysUpdater.cia-08.zip"
Which one do I put in my 3ds?
Used the app, perfect for downgrading 2 n3ds 10.3 to 9.2, at the first attempt and without any freeze.
Congratulations for the good work!
Congratulations for the good work!
There are 2 downloads.
one is "SafeSysUpdater.3dsx-08.zip"
second is "SafeSysUpdater.cia-08.zip"

I used the 3dsx version, first I ran browserhax, installed home menuhax and from that point execute the application
If you are above 9.2, you can't install unsigned .cia files, so you have to use an entrypoint to launch *hax and execute the .3dsx file.
Note that to downgrade, you will need the update files for 9.2(or whatever firmware you are going to flash). Those can't be posted or linked here on GBAtemp since that'd go against the rules(they're Nintendo's copyrighted content). You can find them on that iso site.

, Reason: Other files are needed, just making it clear.
You might get a lot of black screens, most of the time with pink dots on the bottom left corner. Just keep trying, eventually it will start.
Remember: you can't downgrade from 10.4, even though you can run *hax.
I did further research and it seems that it shows 9.1 in the System Settings screen yet it's actually 9.2 that is installed on my downgraded N3DS.Looks like SafeyUpdater Checks for 9.1 md5 sums for japan consoles i believe. You could just use the "normal" SysUpdater and update to 9.2.
But to be honest, you dont want to risk bricking your N3DS just for updating to 9.2 if youre already on 9.1.
Get emunand, reinand cfw and update the emunand to 10.4.
I also used the downgrade-check and it showed "9.2 NATIVE_FIRM: 2.46-0", which seems to confirm this theory.
It still kinda bugs me but I guess I can live with that.

Ok, anyone correct me if I'm wrong I'm kinda scared doing this but I got a checklist going on before I do it and I dont want to miss any steps, I'm on a U 10.3 o3ds
1. Download 9.2 o3ds U cia
2. Create a folder caled updates on the root of the SD card
3. Copy all .cia files into the updates folder on the SD card
4. Download safesysupdater.3dsx and put it in the 3ds folder in the sd card
5. Run ninjhax/ironhax/menuhax
6. Boot up safesysupdater
7. Press Y if it boots up correctly
8. Pray?
Am I good?

Seriously, please, please people, READ the thread first, then downgrade, you'll have a lot of answers if you read the information first, otherwise we'll end with 100's of pages with the same question over and over and over again, everyone benefits for reading, specially when downgrading, to avoid potential bricks by learning from other people's mistakes and then contributing with feedback. Let's make a better place to learn, not a better place to just ask

If memchunkhax2 isn't loaded correctly, SafeSysUpdater will crash after you hit Y and likely just display some pink dots on the bottom left corner of your top screen. Power off, power on, try again until it says "HAX SUCCESS!". By then, it should start checking the files and if everything goes smoothly, it'll start flashing them.
As for the updates folder, the .zip's in that iso site already come with the updates folder itself. Just extract it to the root of the SD card and you should be fine. It'll result in an /updates folder with a bunch of .cia files in it.
Since it might take some time for memchunkhax2 to be loaded correctly, I suggest replacing your homebrew launcher's boot.3dsx(the one on the root of the SD card) with SafeSysUpdater. Just rename boot.3dsx to something else and rename SafeSysUpdater.3dsx to boot.3dsx.
Ahh it worked on the first try, it said good when checking all the cia files and now its installing!
My heart is still pumping as I watch everything getting installed tho
Thanks for your guidance!

I'm glad it worked. Let's hope everything goes fine. Don't worry too much if at the end it fails to reboot itself, it happened on all three of my 3DSes and manually turning it off and on again was all it took to see glorious 9.2 in System Settings.
I just sort of repeated what was in the OP, though, it's not like my guidance made any change.
I make checklists too, by the way. They're awesome, aren't they?
I got "An error has occured" while it was installing the cia files, and now when I start my ds I cant open the browser or the system settings. I was on 9.9 n3ds before I tried downgrading. Anybody know what I have to do now?
If you can still run *hax and the system works fine except for what you mentioned about the browser, try to downgrade again. Don't update, just sun SafeSysUpdater/sysUpdater again and try flashing the files.
