What's tubehax DNS?

I want to stop Ninty's updates.
I set that DNS normally on the emunand System Settings?

What else does that affect?

WII MINIS HELLRIDE

Guys pls help

>now quit and this time run browserhax to install menuhax 2.1

What am I supposed to do here? I'm trying to make the emunand autoboot and its a step 5 from the pastebin guide.

How do I run browserhax and install menuhax?

CAN I JUST DEAD RESET MY SHIT BY TAKING THE SD CARD OUT, FORMATTING IT AND THEN BOOTING MY DS WITHOUT THE CARD THEN UPDATING IT USING THE ACTUAL OFFICIAL UPDATE FUNCTION? WILL THIS LEAVE ME IN A STATE BEFORE ANY GUIDES READY TO GO AGAIN?

1. Why doesn't my R4 work after installing the old DS whitelist?
2. Is it normal that Retroarch's gpsp doesn't load or save?

I'm trying to downgrade an O3DS.
I keep getting the "An error has occurred. Please save your data yadda yadda yadda restart system" While trying to run browserhax.
Every time it happens, I format my sd and paste all the files again, it happens randomly, am I doing something wrong?

>>127800554
Come on man, use google.

Do I need to update the emunand to run MHX?

Guys please help

Does anyone have a list of good 3ds games?

>>127800961
Sure :

FOr people who have successfully down graded their N3DS:

Which sysUpdater file did you use?

How long was the downgrade process, in minutes, when you successfully downgraded?

>>127798173
>>127792807
>>127793004

I updated. I tried browserhax and still get the red screen. I'm rechecking everything to make sure I have the proper payloads for 10.3 now. I still have the original Ironfall which I'm trying to get installed now, but the lack of tubehax really set me back. It isn't a huge issue as I have an o3ds that has both ironhax and menuhax already working. I just would like a redundant backup console to my main hacked console.

tl;dr Still get a red screen. Thoughts?

>>127800961
Monster Hunter series
Fire emblem series

>>127801061
I used tux's, but that was before julians was out.

downgrade proccess took hours of #5, #7, #8 (and even #4 one time)

After getting past that bullshit part, like 5 minutes.

How long is it supposed to take to install CIAs?
cause it's taking a really long time for me

>>127801061
the Tux one, it worked on my first try and it took less than 5 minutes to downgrade

So I'm on a n3ds and everything worked ok, I went to update the emunand using system update and now whenever I load rxTools it just goes to a black screen. I'm assuming that something happened and the emunand got fucked up. (I just saw that n3ds can't go to 10.3 so I'm a retard)

How do I fix this/install 9.5?

>>127800450

>>127800907
Ignore the other folders and do as the guide says:
Copy
>3DS\EmuNAND9
to the SD root (where you should have a 3ds folder already).

For more info, check the readme that came with emunand.

Is menuhax as easy as pressing on the app in browserhax?

Got a problem.
After downgrading to 9.2 with SysUpdater, my Old3ds rebooted without problems, I can play cartridge games too, but whenever I try to run Ironfall or even System Settings my system gets stuck at "Nintendo 3DS" logo screen. Removing the SD card did not help. Anybody had problems like this? What can I do?

Can I install games from any region on cakes? I think I remember some dude here saying he broke his emunand installing a EU game but I can't remember. If nothing else, is it safe to install if it's euro but region free, because I'm seeing a ton of that shit on 3dsiso.

So I can just pirate RBY and use a cryptofixed version when it comes out, right?

It is as slow as it is to download and install with eshop.

My guide tells me something about "firmware.bin with the MD5 B99ADF0ADB279712367C06EB83BA9AE6"

How can I get this "firmware.bin"?

I GOOGLED and found something named Cakes.zip with 2 files: firmware9.2 and 9.5
It also says I have to rename them to some shit.
The problem here is, are my files the correct ones and which one should I use?

>>127799579
tubehax itself is dead, yes. but the DNS server is still alive and blocks system updates

>>127801417
I get the same shit yet i'm installing 9.5.
Anyway, you did backup your emunand right? otherwise you are going to have to go back to making it from scratch since it's bricked.

javascript:quote('127800523');

It's just that the pastebin says :

EmuNAND9
https://github.com/d0k3/EmuNAND9/releases
(put the 3DS folder on the root of the SD card)

But the Emunand zip has others folders, like startergen, EmuNAND9 and the pastebin doesn't say if they should be in the sd card too

HEY
I DONT WANT TO BRICK MY SHIT AFTER ALREADY HAVING DONE THIS ONCE

Asking again, is there any way to avoid the looping of HBL when you have coldboot? I tried renaming the bootHbl.3dsx to like cats.3dsx and editing the two Hbl files to make it into its new name, but it'd just autoboot to hbl instead of bringing up the menu that lets me choose between rxtools and hbl? Was I not supposed to replace/rename the boot.3dsx in the file to the new name I gave hbl's boot?

>>127800450
Come on guys. Help me

I'm stuck.
I updated emunand to 9.5, but nothing will work now.
since after the update i got various blackscreens i popped the SD card out, renamed the folder inside nintendo 3ds shit, popped it back, let it do it's shit and then moved all the files from the previous version in the new version. (with the emunand tools i made a backup of my nand, but when i try to inject it back it says "wrong file size" so i had to try at least that)

after that i see i'm on 9.5, but whenever i try to install menuhax i get an error message and when i try to boot pastaCFW i get a blackscreen.

do i have to start everything again back from scratch? i might use a new sd card if that's the case.

Okay not sure what to do. Here's my setup:
>New 3DS
>Japanese firmware 9.1
>Running rxTools
>Followed this guide: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-install-a-cfw-on-a-9-0-9-2-n3ds-without-cn-oot.398394/
>Auto boots to run rxTools on emunand 9.1

Every game i've installed so far works except for Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (USA)

Somebody told me to install and run the NTR cfw, so I installed the NTR .cia and run it. The game still isn't working. I tried using the language plug in with it.

What do I need to get Xenoblade Chronicles running on my system?
Again, Japanese N3DS booting into rxTools / emuNAND ver 9.1

guys I accidentally farted on my 3ds and theres a red screen what do I do??

>>127801632

>>127801897

>>127802118
need to make a folder with the game's code as its name in the plugin folder

I gave you an actual game you fuckwit.

>>127801786
Yeh, just held the power button and booted it back up. There's no chance of bricking at that part, only the actual downgrading part.

>>127802182
HANS or NTR

>>127802320
iirc Hans is used from the Homebrew menu, and I boot the game from there, yeah?

>>127802257
Do I set it as primary and leave secondary just in 0's?

Im going to hotglue my 3DS in your name /hbg/

>>127802269
Before that did you only use menuhax to get into homebrew channel or did you also use ironhax?

>>127801963
Think you can start with start emuNAND setup (since that creates the emuNAND partition, you already did the previous steps) but if you aren't sure you can start from the beginning of the CFW section.

guys I accidentally farted on my 3ds and theres a red screen what do I do??

Are there CIAs for DS games?
Is that even a thing that can work?

Also, just double confirming.
10.4 is going to block the homebrew channel, right?
If that's the case I'm just gonna shut off my wifi and enjoy playing snes games on my 3ds. Kinda too lazy to get emunand and sysnand running, but from what I understand, if you have emunand on 9.2 and sysnand on 10.3, it's no issue...

take a wire brush and toothpaste (any flavour) to the battery.

>>127802927

>>127802260
I did that but sadly it didn't help at all.

How do I know NTR is running?
I placed ntr.bin in the root of my SD card, then installed BootNTR.cia. I ran the NTR app on my home menu (in emunand while rxTools is running). The NTR app runs without a problem and says "NTR cfw loaded, press the home button" but the system settings still says RX-E 9.1 indicating rxTools is still running.

Is there an NTR installation guide somewhere for N3DS?

>>127802086
>same way you ran browserhax on sysnand. it's literally step one of every fucking guide

What do you mean? go.gateway-3DS.com?

I have no idea what browserhax is. It wasn't mentioned in the guide I used

>>127803110
exactly, you'll be fine since you clearly speak the language already

Thank you for awnsering dumb questions. I wanted to understand what it was I was doing to my 3DS, and now I understand the process.

This may be a stupid question but I'm at 9.5 U and I use ninjhax with a Sky3DS for homebrew, is this ok to downgrade? I tried setting up browserhax but it always gives me an error (an error has occurred, please save your data in any software...)

>>127803278
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ntr-cfw-3-2-with-experimental-real-time-save-feature.385142/

Underneath a spoiler on this post, it says using the language emulation plugin fixes Majora's Mask EUR version running on JP system, maybe this will solve your Xeno issue as well.

>>127803471
Formatting allows you to reset the code. It also removes everything else, so back your shit up.

>>127803609
Menuhax more convenient since you can boot directly into it if you press L on boot.

>tfw you can't get Decrypt9 to open

Trying to play the mother 3 VC.
I installed the CIA just fine to emuNAND but whenever I try to open it it just crashes and i get "An error has occurred please turn off your system"

I already downgraded and installed rxtools on my o3ds and I'm considering doing the same on my n3ds, but I'm not sure if I want to since it's my main one with eShop purchases. To those of you who installed CFW on your main 3ds, what issues do you have with your purchases and your NNID? Also, would I be able to still make purchases after installing CFW, like DLC and games? What about updates, should I get all updates from somewhere other than the eShop, or would I be okay getting the updates for purchases and physical carts from the eShop?

No Monster Hunter, Pokemon, or Fire Emblem.

My brethren, got an old version of theme hax on my n3ds, if I wanted to use menuhax 2.1 to get a custom theme on my emuNand would all I have to do be running menuhax installer from the hbl I run with themehax?

I had already set everything up and even installed a game, but while I was deleting the .cia, I think I erased something else and now I get the softbrick screen when loading emunand. I can still load 9.2, so it's not a brick. Here's my SD root, can anyone see what files am I missing?

>>127803908
depending on your version of rxtools, holding L or R on boot will boot you into emunand straight away

if you're on sysnand, go into system settings and hold whatever trigger worked before closing system settings and it'll boot you into emunand too

>>127803908
use CtrBootManager to make your 3ds boot into rxtools

>>127801138
I bought the console and I would buy the games if they'd just localize them. Most games I wanted to play I already bought/will buy when they come out, except for Virtue's Last Reward which I couldn't find anywhere in my fucking country at a reasonable price, I'd love to get that shit physical. I also downloaded Pokemon Y and AS, but once I get every exclusive legendary I'll delete them (I bought the counterparts, I deserve to have access to every fucking pokemon)

Now that I've formatted my SD via emuNAND9 there is a EmuNAND9 folder.
Do I overwrite it with the one from my saved files? Does it not matter?

Just curious, thanks.

SMT IV

in the process of downgrading, i got a monhun n3dsxl with the original sd card inside, on 10.x.x

is using the same sd card that came with it safe to use, just so long as there is enough space? (there is just over 1 gb of space left over) will the downgrade process erase any saves or other data?

Thanks, Should I rename/edit both payloads though? I've got two, guessing one of them is from 9.2's HBL and the other 10.3? Not sure if I should just edit the 10.3 HBL since that'd be the one I'd load I'm guessing, or the 9.2?

So I have a 8.1.0-9U 3DSXL. I fucked with it the last time people were hacking their 3DS to play .cias.

Do I need to upgrade to 9.2 or what? Or do I just start on a guide that installs CFW?

>>127804137
Downgrading won't wipe your saves or data.
The emunand partition requires 2gb of free space however, so you won't be able to do that part making the downgrade useless.

>>127804105
Some people take over 100 tries for it to not crash.
Reboot. Try again. Pray for no brick.

>>127801138
I especially don't feel guilty for doing it to Nintendo. Maybe if those kikes lowered their prices every once in a while like every single other publisher I'd be more inclined to purchase games.

No, fuck Nintendo.
They are the only console manufacturer in 2016 that still enforces region locking and never lower the price on games released years ago.

Ocarina of Time 3DS is still $39.99 on the eshop and even fucking Mario Kart DS that came out which came out a decade ago is still $35 in many retail stores.

>>127804709
When using sysupdater, are you using 9.5 New 3ds update files, or 9.5 Old 3ds update files?

>>127804217
Yes. Every time, the weird static lines appear as usual, then error screen. Again, I can boot 9.2, so if all is lost at least I can just set CFW again, but if there's just a few files I'm missing, then I should try that.

>>127804239

digital games get removed obviously since they are stored on the sd card that you format. Just back up your entire sd card before formating, later you can copy it back into the sd card allowing you to play it again.

emunand is on a hidden partition, maybe you could use emunand tool to backup that partition and inject it into your new sd card but idunno. (also, latest version of emunandtool can't inject so you have to use 1.0.3 to backup and 1.0.1 to inject)

can someone link AGB_FIRM for o3ds?
also is installing a cia to both sysnand and emunand as simple as running FBI in emunand and installing the cia twice, once to NAND and once to SD card?

Hey guys, quick question. So I got everything set up, quick booting into CTR Boot Manager and then booting emunand from rxTools.

My problem is, I want to switch my theme. Browserhax and the Homebrew Launcher app just seem to boot into CTR though, and choosing Boot Manager from that may be fucking with my emunand. I've set the theme multiple times through that process, and I swear it only changes the sysnand.

My question is, is there a way to ensure that browserhax or the Homebrew Launcher app will actually load HBL? And in a way that won't mess up say... Me quick booting into CTR.

And actually, is there just a THHM .CIA somewhere? That'd make the process a lot easier

I'd really appreciate the help, thank you guys! You guys rock, and I thought I'd never get my hands on the Best Plus.

It will create a .cia file with your theme(s) in it that you can then install via FBI/BBM etc. They will then show up in the theme select in settings.

Format. Go through usual startup shit, then enter the theme menu so Menuhax has clear way.

Then you can run Browserhax and install Menuhax to autoboot glorious Emunand.

If you're using an emulator, just keep roms like normal.
Pro to using CIA injects of VC games is that it allows GBA games to run better on o3ds.

Thanks for the help man, hope your day goes well. Time to get some furry tits on my 3ds theme.

I followed the imgur flowchart in the OP all the way down to using rxTools 2.6 to inject FBI.

Is there also a way to get into it without the browser?

>>127806037
I mean, after hitting the Theme menu again, I insert the SD back and everything will be normal, right?

>>127806037
Oh, forgot, you put the SD card in after setting up so it can create sysnand.

SliderHax is shit, but it's all you have. Keep trying senpai.

Is it safe to install FBI to sysNAND?

>>127807229
Once you install the .cia's you can delete them off your sd card.
If you have devmenu you can delete them through that, otherwise you gotta take out your sd card and remove them manually.

>>127807236
Sometimes it will work if you click on the far left. Besides that, it really is all about hitting the end of the slider.

To unlink the nands is it safe to turn on the 3ds as normal, go into settings, and then format memory? Would that do anything to rxTools?

>>127806473
Yes, because your SD card isn't in the system when you format.

>>127806472
Don't worry dude, I don't want to play DSiWare that much, I'm happy with just 3ds games which is why I bought one in first place.

What the fuck, tapping the left side actually worked

Thanks anons

Guys, i have CFW and i have a small question:

I have a retail cartridge game (Resident Evil Revelations). If i'm on the emuNAND, can i play it without any serious issue?

I don't want to download the game (3GB )

Has anybody gotten CFW working on a japanese new 3ds?

So is it normal for this to 100% be a fucking crapshoot that randomly freezes when you try to do anything

KTM release when? I need a downgrader that is not shit.

How do I connect online in MHX? I installed 1.1 patch

Is it possible to install menuhax without browserhax ? With SSB3DS for example

>>127807917
yeah

I'm seeing a lot of people having trouble updating to 9.5 emunand.
Is there a way to properly go about this? I just want to make sure everything is up-to-date

Been trying to downgrade by sysUpdater for a while. Last time, has been 15 minutes.

I was told that it may seem like the screen froze for some seconds/minutes, and that I should be patient.

Is this normal? I have also been told to try menuhax, would it be useful?

So I used the "for retards" guide to downloading and put everything where it said to. When I run it, it says "failed to get CIA file info". Anyone care to tell me what happened? Any way to fix this issue?

>tfw the SNES emulator works like a charm

Im stuck if anyone can help:

Im stuck installing the coldboot process. I installed rxTools and i dowloaded the 4.X-mset stuff. But dont I have to be on 4.x first? If so, should it be sysnand?

And, Im also lost on how to install .cias. I have the health and information thing replaced by the .cia installer, but it says database not found when i attempt to install any.

So my nand's are definitely unlinked if I have a bunch of DSiWare on my emuNand and none of that stuff on my sysNand right?

The sysNand is also only 1 row of icons while the emuNand is 3.

Am I safe to do a system update in emuNand now? Is there something else I should check before?

i shat myself since it took longer than expected but i'm on 9.2

now if i want to play monster hunter X... can i follow this guide? (on new3ds)
http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji

or is there a safer/better way?

Is it true that if you install a CIA from your region you can update it from the eshop like you really own it?

>>127804127
You can delete it. It's just an archive full of KICKASS bloat for idiots that didn't backup their shit.

Where can i dl themes or do i jsut put in random png's

>>127808086
>>127808097
It's all normal. Try and try again.

>>127808185
I'm also wondering about that. On o3DS you just run the normal system update utility?

>>127808196
Original, with BlargSNES

>>127808064
Just tried it, it says wifi must be enabled for it to format.

>>127808341

Anons I think I fucked something up my n3DS screen is blue with some letters and numbers pic related can anyone help me please? I used the guides from op and downloaded stuff to card HELP PLEASE!!!!!

>>127808220
Yeah, I'm on o3DS and followed everything in that guide to a T. Worked perfectly.

The Cake launcher doesn't work 100% for everyone else right?

Also anywhere better than 3dsiso

>>127808341
Oh cool, what games have you played so far?
I've only heard mediocre things about snes emulation.

>>127808397
?

I managed to get my homebrew working again. Now I need to find a larger SD card. Is there a specific rating or speed I should be looking for? Or would it be wasteful to spend money on the ones that transfer data faster than a certain speed? I only ask because now that homebrew is working I'm going to start working on the full aspects of using the console.

>>127808434
HAHAHAHAHA NICE PAPERWEIGHT FAGGOT!

Why are all the guides so fucking shit.

>>127808454
Your local private tracker should have a wide selection of 3DS games.

>>127807624
How do you go to configurations? Is it in menuhax manager? I think I have menuhax installed because when I press L it loads the hbl.

>>127807868
Because it has to be a 3ds file. Simply rename it and start over.

>>127808487
F-ZERO and Mario World, so far. Both have run well. This is on custom firmware, so that might explain it.

>>127808434
Bait?
Have a (you)

https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-3ds-simple-cia-converter.384559/

Does the Simple 3DS to CIA Converter convert .3ds files in one click? Or does it require extra work?

>>127808165
It does, it's fucking amazing.
Unfortunately there's some games that don't work.

So far I found that

>Kirby superstar
>Brandish
>Super Castlevania 4
>Star Fox
>Super mario RPG: Legend of the 7 stars
>Super mario world 2: Yoshi's island

All don't work.

But at this point I can play shit like super metroid, demon's crest, megaman x, lufia 2, terranigma and secret of mana just fine.

Can anyone confirm if menuhax is gonna be blocked with the 10.4 update?

So, nothing to do but keep trying.

Welp, thank you, anon. I'll keep doing the thing.

>>127807448
FUCKING SHIT FUCK

NOW I CAN'T BOOT INTO CTRBOOT TO GO TO RXTOOLS TO GO TO EMUNAND

WHY DID I LISTEN TO YOU

>>127808606
You launch the menuhax manager and like the third or fourth option is the Type config

So emunandtool is what people recommend for backup but the guy says it's not necessary if you only want to back up emunand. What do?

>>127807969
No they are currently unhackeable sorry

Thanks lad

>>127808504
What is going to be low is the menu load since you're booting the emuNAND from the SD.

Aside from that, other things like the games and software works with no unreasonable lag.

>>127808348
Oh whoops, my bad
Yeah just enable it and format. As long as your sd card isn't in, it will be fine/

I'm using the gametemp guide to set up cfw on n3dsxl and I'm stuck at this step: The rxTools folder should consist of four folders now, called \firm, \lang, \sys, \theme, with \firm containing your renamed firmware file.
All I have is \firm and \theme, do I have the wrong rxtools?

>Set up coldbooting into cakes
>Menuhax now freezes at white screen 9 times out of 10
>randomly works

This shit is fucking bonkers yo.

>>127808454
I think what it is, is that Cakes sometimes fucks up and doesn't display anything even though it's running, especially when launched though HBL. But if you have it set to autoboot that doesn't matter.

Anyway, running it with autoboot through ctrbiitmanager it works 100% for me.

>>127808487
>>127808682
It can't play any games that require a special chip, such as Yoshi's Island and Starfox

>>127808871
make a better hax you self-entitled cunt

How big are .cia files usually? I just bought a 32GB SDHC card and am wondering how many games I can fit on it.
Also where do you guys get the .3ds files anyways?

>>127808614
i did that but i keep getting the same error

>>127808850
I think I'm just going to go with TinyFormat instead. Thanks for the help though.

>>127800124
I installed Mario & Luigi Paper Jam but when I select it nothing appears on the top screen and opening it just crashes the system. My other games work fine, is this a known problem with the game or is something probably just wrong with the file I downloaded?
