So wouldn't that essentially make this useless in the long run? If you can't use the injected DsiWare (yet) for slowhax downgrading yet ALL of the exploitable titles have been pulled, only people who previously bought said titles and were lying in wait can benefit from this. Not that that is a bad thing of course, it's not as "hype" with no way for others to make use of it IMO. The injected DSiWare + System Transfer seems to be a more universal way. Why would Plailect add it to his guide before the majority of people could use it?

slowhax is an arm11 kernel exploit, so it can be used for more than just this. we could get legit cia's on newer nonhacked fw again. and apparently there was a TOCTOU vuln that could allow downgrading without dsiware. no one seems to have done anything for those yet though.

so as of now we have 3 downgrade methods for 11.0 and 11.1. hardmod, system transfer with lots of dsiware, and slowhax for those who planned ahead.

See, and now i feel like an idiot for forgetting you can't even inject a DSiWare title without a hackable DS anyway Lol.... Welp, good show then! I'm kind of upset now that I bought LOE on my A9LH system prior to the injection discovery when I could have saved $5. Oh well, it's an alright game haha

Don't link your NNID again. It's fine if you already did. Just flash the backup nand you made before you began the whole downgrading process. The one that's on 11.2 after the softbrick. Boot into hourglass9 by holding down start and pressing the power button with your device turned off. Go to sysnand backup/restore>>>>>> sysnand restore (keep a9lh)>>>>>> flash the backup nand.

Edit: and the backup nand goes in your flies9 folder.

Yes. The one you made just before you used TinyFormat.

Ok i just wanted to make sure it wouldnt make me lose a9lh since i did it before but im learning as i go so my nand was a sysnand (infrastructure) but emunand is what accesses the arm9 and homebrew (application)

new method to use this:
download the latest waithax .3dsx release on my repo here,
run it, and then run whatever you want when it's done running: 3ds_dsiwarehax_installer, etc...
you can download most of these apps from their original authors, no modifications/forks needed.
for fbi, you need to use my fork which removes the integrated khax exploit (probably, but just use it to be safe i guess and not have to do it again, i only got crashes on stuff with the releases): https://github.com/Mrrraou/FBI/releases/download/v2.4.2-nok11hax/FBI.3dsx
also, take note that rebooting will "remove" all the privilege escalation done, so don't reboot until you're done, else you will have to run waithax again.
Enjoy

this dsiwarehax_installer fork is not needed anymore, you can now use yellows8's original.

no. slowhax was patched in 11.2. veryslowpidhax should work on 11.2 i think, but not much code has been written for that due to th whole 2 week wait thing. ive seen some untested poc floating around, but no one wants to let their 3ds sit for a month to see if it works or not

Thing is, I've tried it 3 times, and every time, it just gives me that error message that requires recovery mode to bring me back to 11.2.

Thanks. Done with my last system (black N3ds). Works as advertised, but I'm not certain where the 20 minutes estimate came from on N3ds. It's definitely taking about 69 minutes.
The rest of the process was just as usual. Got the frankenfirm at the 9.2 point, but after doing that part a few times, I can easily fix them.
AL9H is next, but there's no need rush...:yay3ds:

Gambia, The
Is Germany the only place where you can't redownload pulled eshop games?
Since I am in the haxing game a little longer I own fieldrunner on 2 nnids, but I can only bring it back through a nand backup after a system tranfer.
How can I get it to a mint 2ds with 11.0 without beeing able to get it from the eshop for slowhax?

How do I run this? D:
I'm on version 11.1 and I don't have a homebrew entrypoint yet

    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!
