3DS is even further BTFO, WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?

I love you op o just got a fire emblem fates special edition 3ds on 11.4 means I can sacrifice my hacked 3ds to the cause and then ditch it.

>>377513414
What improves?

>>377515180
you'll need B9S for future CFW updates

>>377513414
Not sure if this is a troll thread or not but have a bump since I intend to hack my 3ds in sooner or later

What's the point if you already have a hacked 3ds?

>>377515252
>CFW updates
And whats the benefits of that?

>>377515690
This is what I want to know.

>>377516690
Me too

any reason to bother if you already have a9lh?

When is Nintendo going to make a new portable system?

Can you get someone competent from /hbg/ to elaborate OP?

New CFW replacement for a9lh that runs off the systems internal memory, not the SD card. Gains control over the system even earlier in it's boot cycle, so marginally faster boot. Also means it can be the basis for more interesting CFW fuckery in the future.

>>377513414
The average user doesn't benefit much from this right now. If you need to update Luma3DS(and other applications later on), then you'll have to install B9S, but outside of that, most of what you'll be doing is the same.

>tfw only ugraded from RxTools to Luma recently
>never did any of the A9LH tutorials

Can I jump straight into B9S?
The concept of further downgrading to grab files always scares the hell out of me.

>>377513414

I just use my hacked 3DS to demo new games and for Custom themes, why bother upgrade from A9LH?

>>377516898
It's even less than 5 seconds difference. And there will be made no good use of the "extra features"

>>377515180

Nothing, it's DRM for updates.

I'm still using emuNAND and luma.

I dont see the reason to upgrade or do anything else desu. I'm fine holding down L when I turn on my 3DS for hax.

>>377516898
>faster boot time

who the fuck turns off their 3ds anyways? any normal person will just close their 3ds and have it stay in sleep mode.
the only time your 3ds is ever off is if you forget to charge it.

>>377517529
Did you update to 11.4 fine?
I am still in 11.2

>>377517529
lol

>>377517672
yeah I did for playing FE Echoes.

just update luma first, then go into system settings and update the system. I've had no issues.

>>377517529
This desu, I have al9h 2DS and a Menuhax + Luma O3DS XL. The XL is my primary use one and I see no reason to bother fucking with it. It just werks.

>>377517268

So don't install it until there's something you need from it?

It's just the new standard from a9lh with better features for CFW developers, so you need to swap to it to use newer versions of CFW like luma. This was bound to happen eventually.

>>377517593
Mine gets turned off a lot because children don't understand battery power yet somehow they can memorize a chart of what is and isn't effective in Pokemon.

>>377513414
i can already install shit directly to the 3ds with a9lh so what?

>>377513414
Can you play free games on it?

>tfw still using cakes and emunand

>trying to research what the benefits are

>"potential" for cooler things (which a9lh promised but nothing substantial like DS emulator ever came)

There's no reason to upgrade if you already have a9lh and aren't into the hyper autism of personalizing every little screen. If you're just hacking it for the free games, this doesn't affect you.

>>377518117
no

>>377513414
I already have A9LH with luma3ds installed.Should I wait a few months for this to be tested or is it safe? There's no point in updating to the latest luma version if you don't go online,right?

>>377518167
as long as whatever games youre playing still work, theres really no reason to update anything.

>>377518359

I don't play any games, I wish I never bought my 3DS. Tempted to try Animal Crossing as I heard there was an update ages ago but I'd probably spend more time updating my 3DS than playing it

>>377518117
that's what it's for

My homebrew launcher still crashes so whats the point, i just want to use my custom themes.

>>377517139
Yes you can, all it takes is to run an app in the homebrew launcher to permanently hack your 3DS. No more fucking downgrading bullshit.

It's so simply the Luna dev dropped support for anything not b9hax.

>>377513414
Can you emulate DS games using your SD card only now or what?

>>377518180

It'll save you time doing it now vs down the line when there's more shit to change to get new features/stability fixes, or when nintendo updates the firmware. Since a9lh isn't supported for new luma versions anymore you'll get roadblocked eventually by something.

/v/, you're chronic procrastinators.

>>377518180
Wow, so it's fucking nothing. What worries me is that they dropped support for A9LH, which Nintendo could patch in future updates.

to anyone who says "rx tools works fine" you keep saying that until your shit randomly stops working from an update

your payloads are most likely out of date and if your shit bricks, you have nothing to fall back on; a9lh gives you pre-boot options in case of situations like this, which is its biggest benefit

>>377518520
But isn't that illagel?

>>377518673
No, that won't happen anytime soon since the only person who was working on it dropped off the face of earth.

>>377518684
Not an argument.

>>377518758

who fucking cares when unpatchable B9S exists

Literally nothing wrong with a9lh+luma. And especially not if you have FBI and homebrew menu installed. Sitting on 11.4 playing all my pirated shit online.

>can play online fine without updating to 11.4
>can access freeshop fine without updating to 11.4
>no more major game releases, almost certainly no more major firmware updates, at most an 11.5 that just closes whatever exploit eventually emerges for 11.4

Not really seeing a reason to bother.

>>377519360

>>377516898
How will that work if when you use a9lh you technically already bricked the main system?

>>377519581

>>377519405

>>377519463
luma isn't getting a9lh support anymore

I moved from Rxtools to Luma, do I have to follow the "Updating to b9s" guide, or do I have to do the Homebrew part? Both of them seem very simple, just not sure which one is for me, since the first one refers to having a9lh, while the second implies you don't have Luma at all.

This.

I got a 2ds running cakes and a limited edition "new" 3ds running a9lh + luma,and I play the 2ds more, and use the "new" 3ds for new releases.

The fuck is wrong with me?

>>377519748

Use the Updating to b9s guide.

How hard would it be for me to install this b9s shit and copy my emunand over?

>>377519681
That bridge will be crossed when there's an actual update out and my games stop working. Everyones going into full panic mode over something that doesn't even have any real rammifications yet.

If my 3DS got nuked by Pokemon Sun/Moon banwave, can I do something about it yet?

>>377520143
I pretty much update when there is a huge quality of life update (from playing more games, to plating updates/dlc/patches/to booting to Emunand without internet connection).

>>377520224
Yeah those bans should have been lifted.
Then again it's not like it matters, you can still get stuff off of 3ds.titlekeys.com

If you're talking online, however, I swear I read a tutorial on github about replacing or "fixing" the ban status that's linked to your NNID

>>377513414

>>377520224
There's a way to partially unban your 3ds which gives you access to online play and the eshop, but unlinks your NNID and you can't link it again.
Or that was the situation last time I looked up.

>>377520224

You can use decrypt9 or hourglass9 or whatever to change your localfriendcodeseed_b and SecureinfoA. These are copied from systems that perform a system transfer, while a new one is made on the system being transferred from, so you can generate new copies of these keys which are apparently what nintendo base bans on.

>>377519895
You sure? /vg/ gave me mixed answers, what if I follow the Homebrew steps instead?

>>377520426
Only if yoy have a system on 11.4

>>377520491

Then I assume you'll load into the homebrew menu. Which is probably irrelevent to what you want to do, since if you're on luma you can just use a CIA for that.

If you got any kind of CFW already you can softmod upgrade to B9S.

If you got a ds thats 11.3 or below you can go through the soundhax method and upgrade to CFW.

Only 11.4 people are forced to sod. Crossing my fingers that Nintendo will fuck up with the 2DSXL and release that shit 11.3.

Apparently the ability to run BS9 type shit has been a vulnerability forever, and they just didn't find it until they started using sighax to mess with the responsible registers.

>>377520475
still the same situation, NNID shit like poke bank / badge arcade won't work again ever I think, literally doesn't matter tho..well maybe for transferring Pokemon to Switch games

>>377516868
new 2da xl is coming out july 28th, though if you already have a 3ds theres not really a point since its just a 3ds with no 3d

>>377513414
What are the chances of the 2DSXL being hackable on release? I really want one and my 3DS broke.

>>377521083
We could have had sighax in 2012 if only someone knew about the key combination thing

>>377513414
Meh I think I'll just stick with emunand. I mean what's the point? I can already play everything.

>>377521554
you gotta install gba games to sysnand/emunand and takes up double space ayy lmao

>>377521483
Id assume pretty slim. They probably come with 11.4 installed at least, since they're not even out yet.

>>377521642
I've had EZflash 4 for years. Not much point in emulating GBA games when you can just play them from the source.

What's the point of this if I already have a9lh and never go online?
This hard pushing of bootstrap is very suspicious.

>>377521554
There is the potential of an update wrecking emunands, especially outdated ones. Luma for example will now only update through bs9, so any build before this point may end up insufficient. On the other hand, the 3ds will have support for a couple years most, so it could last till that point

i already have a9lh and blah blah blah. my shits hacked. so what does this shit do?

>>377521825
This. It's not even a huge difference like menuhax to A9LH was.

>>377521825
>>377521840
future proofing.
Although its very sus how everyone is rushing to this new shit without even taking 24 hours to bug test.
If you just want to play games it's not mandatory, you'll still be fine a month from now if you don't upgrade.

>>377521810
GBA games on 3DS are running native, it has the same hardware as GBA

3DS is literally a three in one 3DS/DS/GBA

>>377521829
I think I'll stick with emunand until the day comes when it can't be used.

I don't know if I should I update my reinand to this. Reinand is still working fine so I think it's not worth it.

>>377521840
It's true custom firmware You're not just merely patching the firmware on the fly.

I'm going to wait and see a little while how this pans out. Chances are the hackers will keep on top of shit and any new updates Nintendo release will never bother people who've installed true CFW, but at most might make it a nuisance to go online briefly.

>>377522098
Are there enough homebrew devs left that would care to make or install a totally custom firmware?

Can you hack your 3ds now even if it's on 11.4?

>>377522046
Really? Seems like a weird thing to include when you don't have a gba port. Well regardless it's completely unimportant if tiny sized gba games take up double the space. Especially when I've been done with the GBA library for ages.

>>377521825

They hard push this shit because they have multiple developers working on different aspects of CFW shit, and it's important to update wall the scene and go 'no, use the newest methodology' so you don't wind up with a bunch of projects all forking off and requiring the old and outdated implementations, restricting new developments from being in general use because of the people sitting on the same old firmware until it breaks. See Cakes and ReiNand and all that shit.

>>377522048
Fair enough. I changed from RXtools like the last September, so I get the feeling of not fixing what ain't broken.
Just be aware and do not do system updates nilly willy

>>377522208
Yes, just reading up on it now, apparently Luma3DS going forward will not support a9lh releases, they will all be sighax firm installations or something?

Can't wait to see a good plain synopsis of all this development.

>>377521825
>>377522000
>This hard pushing of bootstrap is very suspicious.
Some people feel superior if they update on the first day, similar to early adopters of consoles. It was s9imilar when a9lh was first released

>>377522242
11.4 needs hardmod.
Previous versions do not

>>377522349
Luma up to this point has always just been a patch to the existing firmware, though.

If I want to keep playing online, do I have to move onto this new b9s or can I stick with a9lh?

>>377522252
>Seems like a weird thing to include when you don't have a gba port.
The 3DS has a DS chip, DS could play GBA games from slot-2, same hardware.

GBA games run on ARM7
DS games run on ARM9
3DS games run on ARM11 while ARM9 takes care of online/background stuff

>>377522242
Not without a hardmod. Stop updating. Every single nintendo update breaks homebrew/CFW. Stop updating and wait for an exploit. And then you'll be fine forever.

I only updated from RXtools a few months ago when 11.something broke emuNAND. I probably won't update to bs9 until something breaks either.
On the bright side, updating to a9lh/bs9 is easy if you're on emunand already provided your sysnand is 9.something.

GBA games work on 11.4.

>>377522610
The comparison is hardly the same. The 3DS doesn't have additional programs running at the same time that pile on top of each other, run in the background and hog memory. A fresh reboot is useful where it serves little to no purpose on the 3ds.

>>377522803
Because Nintendo's eShop servers are retarded.

>>377522714
If you want do it now, you need to solder shit or wait a bit and buy a NDS flashcard.
>>377522803
they can't even tell that you're using a 3ds to download it, so they certainly can't ban your 3ds for it.

>>377513414
Besides Deep SJ what games are even coming to the 3DS? This is seems like a complete waste of time.

>>377523026
i already have a NDS flashcard. what are you talking about soldering shit? my 3ds is ALREADY hacked.

>>377522803
Because of Nintendo's weird system NNID shit, they set up e-shop in a way that makes you install tickets to your system, then you download the content that way.
Because of that, it was super fucking easy to exploit their servers.
>>377522856
Well shit, I'll think about it.

>>377523198
if you're already hacked you can just straight up install it without issues.

>>377523125
The 3ds actually has a good library.
And if you don't care about that, you can emulate stuff on it if you want.
I'm balls deep in final fantasy tactics advance right now.
There's a lot of good strategy rpgs and jrpgs for the 3ds, which kind of caught me off guard.

Same here. If there was a reliable way that didn't involve me into installing every single game again for hours, I'd may upgrade.

>>377524298
you can move your emunand to your sysnand

What the fuck do I have to do to switch to this latest new thing?
My shit's ancient and pretty fucked
I'm running RxTools with luma3ds and did the NAND unlinking wrong or something cuz I had to later edit a registry so the system would think my NNID was logged in for it to let me play online
I don't want to lose all my games and saves that are already on my emuNAND but I don't know how to keep them intact while switching to a newer exploit
My sys is the usual required for that time, 9.2 i think, and emu around 10.4

Please help

>>377524298
>>377524394
You can literally just take a backup of your emunand, install b9s, and restore your old emunand onto your sysnand

Seems unnecessary for this point in the 3DS lifespan. I doubt Nintendo is going to even be pushing out many more future updates for the thing anyways

>>377524479
I will go look how to backup my emunand then since I don't remember shit

Do I have to install b9s on the sysnand or does it not matter where from?

>>377524681
I agree but I'm going to upgrade just to be safe.
hacking it on a system level seems like the final nail in the coffin.
As other anon's have said it's like future proofing and the guide for upgrading from A9LH is very simple.

That being said I'm probably going to wait a week to make sure it's stable and not fucked up somehow, you guys can be the guinea pigs.

>>377524681
There's still the New 2DS XL on the way too, maybe this reveal could've waited until that system released.

JKSM can keep your game saves if your so worried.

>>377525601
Until Nintendo stops supporting 3ds, they will be releasing FW updates.
Whether any of them will actually mess up any CFW configurations that do not use a9lh or BS9, who knows.

>>377513414
Why the fuck should anyone care? The 3DS has a small amount of good games as it is and none of them require you to have a specific version of whatever hax that these people decides to put on it.

The homebrew scene is in bad shape aswell, fuck, the NDS had a better (and longer living) homebrew scene than the 3DS has ever had/have. And the thing is fucking useless when it comes to emulation aswell thanks to it having a CPU that is almost as weak as a PSP, a console that has been around longer than the 3DS and that is STILL getting more substantial patches and support from the homebrew scene than the 3DS has managed to get from it's entire hacked lifetime.

So please, for the love of god, stop shilling this shit here and tell those brown nosing assholes to start focusing on more promising hardware instead.

>>377525392
you're overlooking something

>>377525110
I can't seem to enter the homebrew launcher in any way
Every time I try to launch it I just end up on my emunand home screen

Is the new fe on freeshop in english or what ?
if not what else can you tempt me with ?

Download the undub .cia

>>377526863

have sysnand at 9.0.0
emunand at 11.0.0 with old version of luma3ds

read the 3ds.guide but i still have no idea if a seperate emunand and sysnand is still common
or if its possible to update to b9s with keeping all my games and saves

As I understand, as long as you backup your emunand and then inject it into your sysnand after it's upgraded to b9s, all your shit will be there

>>377526862
replace the cfw's boot.3dsx on your sd card with the homebrew launcher's .3dsx

>future proof
Isn't this what they said about a9lh?

>>377527532
>i still have no idea if a seperate emunand and sysnand is still common

Bored people keep that set-up, but you were encouraged the last few months to do the a9lh+luma set-up (booting cfw on sysnand before the device can do any checks).
>if its possible to update to b9s with keeping all my games and saves
You can do a complete backup of whatever nand and restore everything later on.

Moving from your set-up to a9lh or bs9 includes that process, explained in the guide

https://3ds.guide/

>>377527774
Yes. It's not like a9lh failed or anything, they just have further access now.

>>377517593

Ever since installing CFW, mine will usually crash if it's closed. Sometimes it doesn't. It's really random. Also happens when playing games too though sometimes. Apparently it's just me because no one else ever talks about it.

>>377527772
Took a while but I did it
How do I get rid of my emunand partition now though?
After that I just proceed with installing b9s on my sysnand, and then dumping the emunand on it, right?

>>377529765
>open freeshop
>Loading game list...
>system crashes

>>377529819
You got a backup of your emunand using decrypt9, right?
If you want to get rid of your emunand entirely you have to reformat the card. I'd wait until after b9s is installed to do this.
Afterwards yeah, you just install b9s as normal, then restore your emnunand onto your sysnand.

>>377529963
A reminder that the site where you download the titlekeys has changed.
And that there is a new fork of freeshop(download on sleep mode works)

>>377530115

It's a hardware limitation silly

I see no reason to update from a9lh. The 3ds doesn't have much life left anyways, I doubt anything released will require it.

>>377530192
Horseshit, Wii can be successfully hacked to load pirated GC games and that's a totally different shell like DS mode is for the 3DS.

What's your excuse?

do you still have to downgrade and delete all your data and shit to hack it

>>377530325

Nope, on the Wii you can pwn the I/O processor and silently redirect all disc reads to USB or SD.
DS games run on bare metal, there's nothing in between to intercept those calls and redirect them. This is the same reason why you can't load PS1 games from a USB stick on the PS2, for example.

>>377530058
No, I used EmuNAND9
It's the thing I used to setup it all in the first place
Does it have to be done with decrypt9 for no issues?
Also the formatting, it was just a hidden partition on the SD card I think, that means I can just copy paste everything before and after the formatting or am I wrong?

>>377513414
any guide to hack the wii like the guide in op? I have one already modded to run games from an external optical disc drive, but for some reason I cannot run legit gamecube copies from the og drive or whatever, and my model is retrocompatible

>>377513414
>have to mess with my 3ds again
REALLY? Faggots, really? Fuck off. I already have a9lh why the fuck are you guys fucking up with this shit more.

>>377531012

Your tranny overlord dictates that you switch to b9s or you won't get any more updates.

>>377529192
>Why should I get a n3DS? It provides no benefit to me, and my o3DS works perfectly fine.

So you can hack it to run every game at full CPU speed, boosting framerate in every game and play SNES games using Nintendo's internal emulator?

It's like asking a PCfat why he should upgrade his video card.

>>377531369
I have a n3ds with a9lh, can confirm this guy is a memester. Ignore his shit, the difference is pretty lackluster.

>>377531624
>the difference is pretty lackluster.

absolutely not, full CPU makes Dragon Quest 7 playable, it removes all the menu lag from the game and everything is more responsive. I was completely floored how such a sluggish piece of shit did a complete 180 once I hacked my system that it actually renewed my interest in playing again.

That's just one example.

>>377531369
It's not even worth using official SNES VC releases on N3DS any more. Snes9x for Old 3DS ended up being so well optimised it's a good way to play special chip games on the New 3DS.
Even stuff like Super Mario RPG, Kirby's Dreamland 3, Starfox, Yoshi's Island.

Great, I was looking for something pointless to do today

If you actually look to update this and installed a9hl before with the soundhax thing, then follow this

technically neither a9lh nor b9s are, if Nintendo is slick enough they could change the function signatues that update FIRM and therefore unhack the console if you update before the CFW is updated.

But, they're too dumb to do such a thing.

>>377533014
>signatures
B9S starts before that even goes through however.

does luma3ds updater actually update the ctrnand installation or only the SD one

>>377525392
dont forget to generate proper soundhax bin for your new version

>>377533191

wrong kind of signature.
Your CFW (Luma, typically) patches the original Nintendo firmware to remove the bits that overwrite a9lh/b9s. If Nintendo were talented enough they could spoof it so that the real functions that perform this remain unpatched.

It'd be discovered quickly and Luma would release a quick update to patch the new functions, but it's possible.

>>377537963

It just grants access much sooner along in the process, allowing a much better implementation of the current hacks (and presumably, allowing for future ones)

It's not like luma 7.0 will stop working, but you won't be able to use future versions because support has ended

Some people still use emunand for fuck's sake, there's no requirement to update. It's just a lot better. You like better things, don't you?

>>377513414
sorry anon,but unfortunaly i have morals so i will not hack my 3ds

>>377538412

If you have an DS flashcart, it is possible that a hacked firmware could be developed for it.
If you hold start+select+x with such a flashcard inserted while the console boots in sleep mode, then the 3DS will enter a factory backdoor (think PSP's pandora battery) and enable you to install CFW
The magnet is used to trick the console into entering sleep mode while it's still open.

Which retard decided this?

So is there a simple guide to going from a9lh to b9s?

what's retarded about this?
>>377539091

yes at 3ds.guide

>>377526469

Not updating anything now though, I don't feel like taking the back of the 3DS off again.

>>377539164

Completely and utterly retarded. This new guide sucks ass compared to the old one.

>>377513414
Nah, I'll stick to A9LH.

>>377538406
I'm using MenuHax to boot from a 9.2 SysNAND. Much simpler IMO.

Though it does fail to load up 25% of the time.

>>377539431

your own fault for updating to 11.4 I guess. Wait for magnethax.

>>377539605
I didn't update. I would have the option of still using soundhax if the guide hadn't been gutted.

>any normal person will just close their 3ds and have it stay in sleep mode.

I just got a used 3dsxl and it's 11.4. I don't know how this 3DS hacking works at all but from what I just read I can't really do shit unless I hardmod it which involves soldering some stuff on the motherboard?

>>377519171
Just get a microsd card with an adapter to fit into your 3ds. I hacked my 3ds completely from my phone, and its what I use to download and transfer cias.

>>377533002
hacking the wii has never been easier.
use one of the common exploits to install the homebrew channel then get pimp my wii and run that. it will update all ios versions and then install the right cios for you.
done.
be sure to also install a boot manager like priiloader or bootmii so you can make nand backups in case something goes wrong in the future but the base process is as safe as its ever going to be. the only thing you can do to fuck up a wii is install a cios manually in a wrong ios slot.

>>377522803
Because they're idiots. The way the system works is that it allows systems without a NNID to still download stuff and have pre-installed applications on the machine which carries over to your NNID if you link one. How it works is that it installs a legit ticket to your machine (Effectively telling their server you own the game) that was decrypted from the eShop by someone who paid for it because the games use some sort of global key for the game to allow you to download from their servers. When you log into the eShop and go through the online check all it is doing is seeing if the tickets you have are legitimate, it's not checking if an account paid for them in order to have them or anything because it assumes because you have a legitimate ticket on your machine you bought it so you can download from their servers.

To take this one step further the Wii U uses the same absolutely retarded system and it's why you have no purchase history at all on Nintendo's site for 3DS and Wii U. When you call up Nintendo to give you access to games when your system breaks or get replaced all they're doing is transferring over ticket permissions to your 3DS that get added when you log on which they check by looking at your previous purchases on your account.

>>377516868
Are you stupid?

3.02 is the latest version of pimp my wii.
it will basically go through all your ios versions. and download a fresh copy of the newest one from nintendos servers and install those. it will basically factory reset all software on your wii to the newest version. you keep your settings and savegames and installed channels though. afterwards it will download the newest cios and install it for you. it couldnt be easier.

I hacked mine before menuhax came out, and couldn't even bother to upgrade.
Also, I noticed that my failed boot rate went up ever since I used luma. I had almost 90% success boot rate when I was still using rxtools, but now after changing to luma it's only 60-70%.

>>377540934
i've had my 3ds since 2012, rarely turn it off, always leave it in sleep mode and plugged in and the battery still lasts plenty of time, especially if i'm not on maximum brightness and have power saving mode on.
>>377541087
good to know, that explains why i haven't noticed any reduction in battery life.

>>377541232
what is luma even used for? I haven't booted it since i hacked my 3ds for the first time.

>>377541071
also. use usbloadergx after your done with pimp my wii and installing the cios that it installs for you.
youll be able to play gamecube and wii games from the same hard drive or usb stick without needing to format it to wbfs and make multiple partitions. its all folder now so you only need to format the drive into fat32 and just make the right folders for gamecube and wii isos. theres tools that do that for you easily enough so its a breeze.

>>377541071
thanks a lot

>>377541337
>I haven't booted it since i hacked my 3ds for the first time.

You are booting Luma every time you turn your system on if you are using A9LH.

>>377541343
Don't you need Nintendon't to play gamecube isos?

>>377541337
luma is the cfw you are running everytime you turn on your 3ds.

>>377541457

that's just an app that sits on the SD card.

Thanks for beta testing for me, retards!

Just bought a 3DS on 11.4. Will it be hackable one day?

>having to much fun with my Switch that I haven't played my 3DS or Vita in months

Eh.. I have emunand and cakes and they work for what my purpose is when I do play it.

>>377541457
its included in the latest versions of usbloadergx.
nintendont isnt needed anymore though. in the configuraiton you can choose what to use.
you only need to use nintendont if you want to be able to return to the wii menu from within a gamecube game without needing to reset your wii. you can pick and choose whichever way you want in the usbloader gx config.

>>377541605

>you only need to use nintendont if you want to be able to return to the wii menu from within a gamecube game without needing to reset your wii.
or if you want to use a custom controller, or if you want to use memory card emulation, or if you want audio streaming to work etc. etc.

you need to hardmod or do a dsiware downgrade with another 3ds through system transfering.
sofware downgrades are not possible with11.4 anymore due to some firm updates an fuckery that brick the system if you attempt to change the firm partition while the device is running in arm11 mode.

new features. like alot actually.
especially the 7.0+ releases have added a lot of neat stuff.
a new bootloader menu so you dont have to remember keybinds for payloads, actually filesystem injections like hans or ntr are built in now. code.bin loading has been improved massively and can now inject code into running services and a lot of other things like not needing to be on the latest firmware to actually go online.

There's an optional section towards the end where it tells you to move your emunand.

Ignore rxTools completely, pretend you have an unhacked console. Complete the guide, doing that emunand-moving section when the guide tells you.

>>377542226
if your 3ds is hacked it does.
look up bootntr its homebrew made for loading really really old flashcards like the og r4 cards.
newer cards work out of the box.
>>377542275
yes. just did it earlier today.
didnt even take 10 minutes.

Emunandfag here

I'll switch once someone there's a guide for peasants like me

I didn't upgrade to A9LH because fuck downgrading, which apparently isn't needed anymore

>>377542443

the guide at 3ds.guide that everyone is using has extra steps for rxTools fags to migrate

>>377542443
there has been a guide for more than one year.
you can literrally just backup your emunand and inject it into your sysnand or create a new emunand. a9lh or b9s dont stop you from that.

My 3ds is hacked with luma and updated on the latest firmware as of a few days ago, which is the last time i played, there was no update to do at the time. How long does it take to update from my current point?

Side note; I'm out of town for a while so I don't have a backup of my 3ds.

>>377542443
you downgrade in order to upgrade, dum dum

" my model is retrocompatible"

are you retarded just put in the disc and select the game then.

or just burn new copies

or just use USB loader.

i have a black wii with no-retroshit so i cant help, i hacked it to use NINTENDONT so i can play GC games off SD card and USB, and I have a wiiu and pc "GC to USB" adapter.

dumbass

>>377541885
How about you learn to fucking read? That section of the guide is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT compared to what it used to be. Jesus Christ.

>>377542857

yes, it's much shorter and much easier

So does that mean support for GW is coming soon?

>>377542857
What's the problem if it's shorter and leads to the same result?

I hacked my 3DS a while ago, but I'm still on 11.2 firmware and I've been ignoring the system update messages for a while now. Should I update to B9S, or just update luma? Does updating B9S and then going to the latest firmware break any homebrew features (like I heard homebrew and GBA injects were broken for a while)?

I don't see the point, I will never play anything on 3DS other than MH and I already have them all pirated. Let vanilla A9LH be outdated for all I care.

>>377542883
>>377542989

It's not shorter.

>>377543005

Luma's dropping support for a9lh, so you want to update to B9s and then grab the new Luma.

>>377543058

absolutely is, the entire 2.1 downgrade malarkey is gone.

>>377542820
when I put the disc the system freezes, thats why

>>377543058
It is. No more downgrades or other retarded shit. Maybe try and actually read the guide.

It even uses pictures now so complete retards like you can use it

>>377515180
No SD card required to turn on the console.
So if for some (probably stupid) reason your 3DS at least would play cart games.

>>377527957
ZSNES had very obvious emulation issues. What are the obvious and significant problems of not updating Luma?

what does updating luma do feature wise? still on 11.2 and have no plans for any future games or online at the moment due to backlogs

>>377543497
new features. like alot actually.
especially the 7.0+ releases have added a lot of neat stuff.
a new bootloader menu so you dont have to remember keybinds for payloads, actually filesystem injections like hans or ntr are built in now. code.bin loading has been improved massively and can now inject code into running services and a lot of other things like not needing to be on the latest firmware to actually go online.

Prove it's wrong by posting the old one then.

You won't, because you know I'm right and you (I know you're a goddamn cock sucking samefag) are just shitposting.

How do I get (You)-senpai to notice me?

Hacking consoles is always more fun than the games

That's the main reason you want to upgrade. It's the ultimate game

>>377544932

I won't be happy until I've ported an old abandoned a9lh fork to b9s

Is there any easy way to go from A9HL to this? Does one need to do all the steps over again?

I have an al9h 3DS XL that I haven't updated since first installing it (almost a full year now).

Wanted to start playing it again, but is there anything I should do or watch out for on Nintendo's end? Wanted to try some new games, or even play some actual official cartridges, and I know that means updating firmware.

What don't you understand m8?

So which games should I play on this thing?

>>377545190
Thanks famalam. Was worried that I need to do some hardmod or some shit to get it to work!

After i'm done with the game, do i need anything else for free games, or do i need to install anything else like freeshop? Can't i just download roms off the internet and drag onto the sd?

>>377545281
monster hunter

>>377545454
Already have it. What else?
