How can I boot to MenuHax? Whenever I turn on 3DS I hold "L" and leads me straight to Homebrew Channel. I want to boot to Menuhax for downgrade.

Menuhax is the "method" to boot to Homebrew Launcher. The end goal is boot into Homebrew Launcher.

In your case Menuhax happened when you hold L.

Mean no offense, but are you sure you know what you're doing? At the moment, there is huge risk of not be able to downgrade any more. so ask questions to make sure you don't have any questions left before you proceed with the downgrade process.

Menuhax is an entry point to Homebrew launcher, so you are doing the right thing. -ninja'd

Allright and is the "SafeSysUpdater.3dsx" the only file I have to put in '3ds' folder? or Is there more? (I already put the CIA downgrade files.)

Also is it normal that it keeps giving me blacks screens pink pixel in the corner with countless attempts of downgrading?

Honestly kind of confused. I'm following this video:
in 2:18 he has the "MenuHax loader" screen and I never got to that even though I've installed Menuhax.
Also which files 'SafeSysUpdater' file do I put? There's 2 that they're providing in this site, one ends with .CIA.

You don't want the CIA version, that's for use with CFW. Grab the 3dsx version and put the SafeSysUpdater.3dsx file in a folder called "SafeSysUpdater" (no quotes), and place that folder in your SD Card's "3ds" folder. The path should be "sd:/3ds/SafeSysUpdater/SafeSysUpdater.3dsx". Make sure you have the updates CIAs for your system in the "updates" folder in the SD Card root. Then, run SafeSysUpdater. I recommend running the MD5 check first, then actually downgrading. Then, it's just a matter of praying to your gods of choice (God, Zeus, Smealum, etc) that they don't give you a fancy new paperweight.

Well, congrats on not getting bricked! To install games, you need to find a CIA for the game you want (that iso site will likely have it), set up a CFW (Cakes, rxTools, Pasta etc) and use a CIA installer like FBI or BigBlueMenu to install it.

Yes, you have to update the payload in order for menuhax to work on 9.2.

Will it be the same homebrew files + menu hax files? Or different for 9.2?

Just uninstall it by changing your theme to a colored one (red/black etc) then change it back to default theme again. Then install it again using HBL. You have other ways to enter homebrew launcher except for menuhax?

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
