This thread is about installing homebrew on your 3ds.
Some 36-hours ago two new exploits have been released that allow any version of the 3ds(new/old/2ds/xl) on any firmware (yes, including 11.0), to run homebrew. This means you can for example start dumping your save files, edit them with PkHex to inject new pokemon and then reinject the savefile in your cartridge. This post explains how to do this.
>If you are on a firmware below 11.0, consider installing a9lh instead. It is a permanent solution that allows you to run homebrew and even install games you downloaded (and didn't pay for) and play online.
>You can also install a9lh on a 11.0 system if you know someone irl that already runs a9lh and helps you.
Guide:
Prerequisites:
-A 3ds/2ds/new3ds
-A sd-cardreader (not needed on new3ds)
-A wifi connection
Download:
-The homebrew starter pack: https://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/starter.zip
-Menuhax 3.0: https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_homemenuhax/releases/download/v3.0/menuhax_v3.0.zip
Installation:
1. Download the above files
2. Take out your sd-card and put it in your cardreader
3. Copy the CONTENTS of the starter FOLDER (in the starter.zip) on your sd-card
4. Copy, merge and overwrite the CONTENTS of the menuhax_v3.0.zip ZIP FILE to your sd-card (This step may no longer be needed since it might be included in the new version of the starter.zip)
>Your sd-card root should have a /3ds/ folder (with several folder inside) and a boot.3dsx on root level
5. Put your sd-card back in your 3ds
6. Start up your 3ds
7. Press the icon top left, change your theme at least once and select the theme you want to keep afterwards (you will be stuck on this theme unless you uninstall menuhax, you can change the theme, but you will have to reinstall menuhax afterwards)
8. Hold L+R to start camera mode, press the QR button and scan this QR code: https://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax.php and let it open the browser to visit the website
9. Weird colors will flash on your ds monitor, that is normal. Wait a few seconds and it should start the homebrewlauncher (if this takes longer than 1 minute, restart your ds and start again from the beginning or check the faq)
10. Select menuhax installer, press A to install and B when it asks to skip ropbin, press a when it is complete, turn off your 3ds
From now on you can hold the L button during startup of your 3ds to start the homebrew launcher.
FAQ:
>I have a new 3ds and can't access my sd card:
Use the microsd-management tool to move files between your ds and your pc
http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14218/~/how-to-use-microsd-management-to-move-files-between-a-new-nintendo-3ds-xl-and-a
>I can't open the camera because I don't have a right bumper:
Alternative, if you can't use your camera open your browser and type in "http://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax_auto.php"
>Menuhax says my system is not supported:
You are using the old menuhax(v 2.2) that came with the (old?) starter kit, use the new menuhax (v3.0) from the link above and make sure to overwrite the existing files
>Menuhax shows error 0XFFFFFFFE:
On your sd card, find the folder "Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/extdata/00000000/
(ID0 and ID1 are gibberish names, just check them all if you have several)
In this folder, delete/rename the folder 00000082(on jp systems), 0000008f(on us systems) or 00000098(on eu systems)
(Make backups beforehand)
>Browserhax gets stuck on a red screen:
Check your folder structure, the boot.3dsx needs to be on root level
>I'm stuck in my theme:
uninstall Menuhax from the homebrew launcher, change theme, reinstall menuhax
>How do I hack my savegame with this?
Install a savegame manager (https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-jks-savemanager-homebrew-cia-save-manager.413143/ dl the attached jksm_3dsx.zip) and merge its 3ds folder with the one on your sd card, then you can dump your savegame file through the homebrew launcher onto your sd card, edit it on your pc and reinject it throug the homebrew launcher.
>Moving the sd card is tiresome:
Consider installing a ftp homebrew app to access your sd card over wifi(even on old3ds): https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ftp-gmx-customize-your-ftbrony.410506/
Some people are saying that browser- and menuhaxs are gonna be patched after this weekend and you should find another entrypoint. Are there any for 11.0.0-33?

For God's sake, OP. Use your damn brain for once. Compare the number of people you know that have a 3DS or 2DS to the number of people you know that have a smartphone.

Gee, I wonder why?

Is the event already going? I need one of these fuckers to fill my dex.
This happened to me today:
>Hi there, I'm looking to get some Steam Siege Pokemon cards do you have any?
Yes.
>Okay.. Well I wanted to get one of the theme packs
No.
>Oh.. okay well. That's fine I guess can you show me what you have?
No I can't show you.
>Okay.. Thanks for your time.
Best part is I was legitimately told by fucking store clerks to come in at the exact time I did. Apparently it's not out yet. Fucking autistic fucks I swear to god.
>>27412497
I blame the money as all people care about rather than the fucking job they're doing, but this is a fucking game shop and they can't care? Maybe they're Pokémon hating shitheads
>Pokemon designed to be a Special Attacker
>Has a way better Physical movepool
why is this allowed?
>pokemon has an incredible attack stat
>low defenses and speed
>Pokemon meant to be a defensive wall
>horrible typing
>shit movepool
>Ice type
>defensive and slow as shit
Why is this allowed and why do they keep doing it
heh... you ready to battle /vp/?
I still hate you for taking those quints
Hard mode is going to come back, right?
Who cares? We have ROM hacks. The guy who made Star Sapphire has already said that he will be making one for Sun and Moon right away.

Why aren't starter Pokemon catchable in the wild ?
In game, they are supposed to be "highly rare" pokemon. Real reason is to add weight to your starters decision and make it your special Pokemon.
This shouldn't have been hard to figure out OP
Couldn't you catch the starters in FRLG? I might be misremembering things.
Same reason starters, eevee, lucario and other "special" pokemon have a 7-to-1 gender ratio. They are supposed to be rare.
I've been working as a translator for the Pokemon Sun & Moon. I've seen some cool stuff even if Pokemon is not my thing. Anyway, here's a pic I took from Melemele.
Post moar
we've all been to the jp site op

That Litten is looking really stiff.

About to do a play through of White 2 for the first time and I'm wondering if I should ditch my starter at the start of the game, I don't really like any of the Gen 5 starters and don't want to be tied to it for the entire game.
Anyone ditched their starters? Is it worth it to ditch them/does it make the game more challenging/interesting?
>>27412189
>Anyone ditched their starters? Is it worth it to ditch them/does it make the game more challenging/interesting?
yeah, plenty of times on replays. It doesnt make the game any more challenging as such, but it opens up a slot on your team at least. If you dont care for any of the starters then go for it.
they are literally pokemon just like any other, you have absolutely nothing to lose. just box it if you think you'll regret it and don't want to permanently release it
In my first playthrough of White I ditched my Tepig because I thought all of the starters were trash. I still got to defeat the Elite 4 and nothing was really that hard.
Why is HG/SS the hardest game toemulate?
I know I won't get any sympathy from y'all but I'd still like to express my frustration. Got a supposedly working patch from online and used a randomizer on therom. All the text disappeared and it shit its pants before Falkner.
I just want to play my favorite game with different mon..
>not playing hgss just to use the pokewalker
Dont even bother playing it.
>>27412191
The pokewalker was retarded and useless.
Which emulator are you using, anon?
