Of course I have, Anon.

>>29114435
I can't download the sun moon demo if it's hacked

>>29114487
Yes you can?

play a good genre for difficulty like roguelikes

>>29114487
What makes you think that? Online works fine, eshop works fine, everything works fine.

>>29114487
Of course you can, why wouldn't you be able to?

I'd hack it but I have no idea how to.
And I'm pretty sure I fucked myself over updating past 9.0 or whatever it was when PKHex stopped working.

>>29114679
What firmware are you on right now?

>>29114713
One system is 10.7.0 and I can't find the other to check it, but it's at least 11.0

>>29114759
>One system is 10.7.0
Still hackable. And by doing so you can hack the other one too.

>>29114846
Oh shit, nice. I'll have to look into it tomorrow then.

>>29114435
How does hacked system transfer work? I have a friend who's o3ds I've hacked, and he has a n3ds he wants done.

I'd like to, and I thought I could now that I have a powersave around but unfortunately thats not the case, I'm too afraid to break anything to even think about going under the hood

I would hack it but i have no idea how to do it and i updated my ds to the most recent one

>>29114435
>difficulty adjustments
Aka quality of life improvements got removed, items got their prices jacked way up, and every trainer has a full team pulled off smogon

>>29114916
You buy (not pirate!) a specific DSi game and inject a exploit save file.
Then you do a system transfer, run the game on the new system and downgrade.

>>29114435
Got CFW on my O3DS and Homebrew on my N3DS

Best Pokemon X/Y OR/AS hack?

>>29114983
You just showed you never played actual difficulty hacks.
Rising Ruby and Sinking Sapphire, for example, actually dramatically cut down the price of balls, and no features are actually removed, it simply strongly recommends you don't use the EXP Share

>not playing the vanilla game first so you can see exactly how easy it is and how much the hack improves it

C'mon senpai, you always do a vanilla playthrough before adding mods.

>>29115015
Interesting. Does installing the dsi game with a ticket count as buying?

>>29114983
or, y'know. just apply the battle factory AI to every battle, so they don't just use random moves.

>>29115061
For X/Y its Eternal X and Wilting Y, no contest.
For ORAS its a bit more complicated. Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire make it extremely difficult, if going a bit far (Flannery has a Volcanion, for example), but no other changes. Rising Ruby and Sinking Sapphire make it harder, but not as hard as Rutile/Star, on the other hand, it changes a lot of stats (see pic related for an example) and makes every pokemon available, though most legends are on the soar locations.

Hell yeah, non-XL N3DS with A9Loader, all my carts dumped to CIA.

>>29114435
Both of them

>>29115086
I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

>>29115032
Shit, I'm sorry. I forgot. Trainers gain levels so fast that you need to grind whenever you reach a new route.

>>29115064
Nigger, I know that, I didn't say ALL items, and it's real funny you say that when RR/SS are "balanced to the EXP Share". Maybe you're the one who didn't play it?

>>29115086
No. You have to actually buy it so it passes the transfer

>>29115119
Which one does that?

>>29115160
>>29115172
Alright I'll look more into this

>>29115192
You can safely update to the very latest version on a9lh with absolutely no problem whatsoever.

>>29115192
CFW can be updated hour 1 freely, it gets into a part of the system that can't be undone with an update without the risk of bricking half the systems, which just isn't worth it on multiple levels.
As for Homebrew, it still works on 11.1, you just can't use the easy Menuhax.

>>29115228
>>29115219
>>29115221
i just have default homebrew. mostly for pkhex jk save manager. Is it really safe too?

>>29115161
Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire are balanced to the EXP Share, while Rising Ruby and Sinking Sapphire are not.

>>29115257
>>29115263
same anon, I only ave the menuhax entry installed. am I fucked?

>>29115263
No.
Which firmware are you on?
You need a9lh

>>29115263
Define 'default'. Follow Plailect's guide? Should be fine.

>>29115263
Not for base homebrew. You'd have to go through the steps to install a9lh and custom firmware which are pretty safe if you know how to read.

>>29115285
What firmware?

>>29115285
Go to system settings. What firmware?

>>29115301
>>29115300
>>29115294
>>29115287
I did browserhacks to get into homebrew, then instaled menuhacks through smealums site. im on 11.0.0-33u

>>29115315
rip

>>29115315
11? nope you're stuck unless you have access to an already hacked system.

If you have money you can buy a 2ds, hack it, perform hacked transfer and return it

>>29115315
You fucked up. Should have followed Plailect's guide when you had the chance and installed a9lh.

Is there a new downgrade method that works on modern firmware if you have a second, already-hacked 3DS? Mine is hacked, but my sis upgraded so I never got a chance to do hers, and I'm not hardmodding.

>>29115346
Yes.

Shit mate, you know you'll miss out on the early SM .cia when it leaks possibly weeks before release?

>>29114515
nuzlocke pokemon is a form of roguelike.
add in a randomizer and it's even closer. the only thing left is randomly generating terrain/city contents and story, and maybe some insanity that lets you do more than just recolor a pokemon's sprite to match its new typing, and I'm waiting for those to hit soon enough.

In fact, I'd be working on making them myself if I had any coding knowledge at all, the first guy to make that will be an absolute legend.

Goddammit dray.

>>29115192
Did you even read Smealum's guide? use ctr-httpwn, it's prepackaged with every homebrew starter kit. then just "exit (no reboot)" and be on your way.

yeah I am

I still use "cakes" or whatever it is called. I know it must be about a year outdated by now instead of the most current one. I only care about the ability to inject and edit my save files, such as Pokemon, as well as being able to play online.

>>29115436
>Cosmetic hack to turn May into a titty monster


Oh god. Think about the amount of Chicken hat mods we'll get?

>>29115341
hi, I'm a different anon. I've been running Ironhax. 10.3.0-28U.

I'm still safe, all I have to do is just use ctr-httpwn 1.0.1 and never ever update, yes?

>>29115570
Cakes is outdated, but as long as you aren't using RXTools I think you're fine, even if there are better alternatives.

>>29115631
You could yes. But why not just bite the bullet and hack your system? You are on a good firmware.

>>29115631
Install a9lh now.

>>29115668
Okay, great, because today I had a problem with redeeming the Volcanion code and I've been trying to figure out what the heck that was all about.

>literally had 5 months to hack your 3ds early this year
>people still didn't get CFW
>people still use powersaves
>they won't get to play sun/moon early

>>29115631
install a9lh

>>29115707
People act like 3ds hacking is some mystical art that'll break their shit if they try. But its really just as easy as reading and following directions. I've hacked the consoles of just about everyone I know and two of my own and have never failed once

>>29115803
It's especially easy on N3DS now. Even without the easy route it's mostly waiting for backups to be made.

>>29115602
Not many. ORAS had no customization. They'd either need to rework every piece of applicable clothing, or restrict it to a specific one.

>>29115803
Give me a good guide please. And no I can't navigate the homebrew general's pastebin. A good video guide would be nice.

>>29115880
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

Hacked my 3ds awhile back, i get all the free games i want now but i can't inject pokemon with PkHex anymore. Its a fair trade off

I have hacked it but I also don't care about difficulty

>>29115846
When I bought my galaxy 3ds and did the hacked transfer to get it off of 11.0 the rest of it was stupidly easy. Most of what I did was wait for my ~64 GB of shit to move to and from my SD cards.

>>29115880
What he said >>29115895

>>29115911
Why can't you inject anymore? It's still 100% possible

>>29115846
What's this new method?
I was considering transfering my CFW from my O3DS to my N3DS, but I was worried about losing my NNID on my N3DS, and I was also worried about the potential hard bricks from going to 2.1 on it.

>>29115803
>tfw your 3DS softbricked twice and you had to buy OoT3D to downgrade

It was because I had DSiWare and didn't format, the guide didn't mention it being a hazard at the time.

>>29115688
>>29115707
isn't that a whole emunand situation?

I'm not looking to play .cias or anything. Otherwise I would have made a switch to a more-hacked state ages ago. I've been on even lower firmwares before, the only reason I went this far was I wanted themes and Smealum said he had a solution, it was safe.

All I want it for is playing older emulators and injecting for the most part. Zero Mission, Pokemon Card GB2, Randomized HG, Apollo Justice, Etrian Odyssey 1, PMD 1. Mostly it's stuff I'd buy on the eshop as virtual console but they won't put it on there.

>>29115856
You only really want it for your rival, right? So I'd say just the basic outfit.

>>29115668
>You are on a good firmware.
I actually own OoT3D, I could downgrade even further if I wanted. Would it be worth?

>>29114435
>You HAVE hacked your 3DS right?
Nah

>>29115924
It basically lets you skip downgrading to 2.1.0. However, you don't get the otp.bin file. I don't think you would need it for much besides installing A9LH on 2.1.0, though

>>29115944
No emunand needed.
We have native cfw.
You can run on the latest firmware and keep all your shit. Plus you can use the VC emulators

>>29115880
video guides would get outdated quickly, use Plailect's Guide

>>29115911
>but i can't inject pokemon with PkHex anymore
you can, jk save manger can dump your save, you need to lurk the scene more dude

>>29115944
>Smealum
don't listen to him, he doesn't do anything anymore, install a9lh so you can use homebrew forever, you can still buy games from the eshop or the the carts

>>29115985
So I'd be able to install A9LH, and as such Luma, at the 9.2 stage?

>>29116017
yes, if you have a 9.2 new3ds you can install a9lh in like 10 minutes

>>29115926
The guide really has come a long way since it first started. Back then there actually was a little risk.

>>29115944
A combination of VC .cias and a DS flashcart is what you would aim for then. There's no good reason to not go for a9lh if you're capable, it offers so much. I've played a lot of good games I wouldn't have tried otherwise thanks to CFW

>>29115923
I get this error when i scan the QR
http://imgur.com/frHqbuM

>>29116038
Fantastic.
Now I'm glad I decided to only get a 32 GB Card instead of blowing all my spare cash on a 64 GB.
Thanks for the clear up, I assume if I just transfer DSiware titles It'll leave my ID untouched.

>>29116017
Yes, Plailect's guide shows that

>>29115392
>>29115425
More importantly, he's going to miss out on hacking right away.

>>29116065
Yeah, nah listen to this man >>29116015

We don't QR scan anymore we export the entire save, edit what we need and reimport. There's also PCHex++ for making quick edits without exporting anything.

>>29116079
Last time I checked it did not, I guess it updated since. Sorry about that.

>>29116105
Nice i'll look those up

>>29116075
Honestly I couldn't live with a 32 myself, 64 is good for me. It all depends on how you use it I suppose. I like to install a ton of shit I don't play. Supposedly Sun/Moon will be 3.2 GB each so I'm glad I have the extra room to install both

I'm pm 11.1.0-34U

Can I downgrade easily? I have access to any game considering I have a Sky3DS+ Would love to install CIA and freeshop though

>>29116213
Unless you already have a hacked 3ds then no.

>>29116213
No, you can't. You would at minimum need an already hacked 3ds at this point.

>>29116212
I agree it might fill up fast, but its still a major upgrade to the 8 GB one I have in my O3DS. and money is tight right now so the 64 GB model would have used up all the cash I had to spare, which means I wouldn't have been able to get the DSiware title if I wanted to.

>>29116212
At least when I was shopping for a card, the price difference between a 32 and 64GB card was small enough that I might as well go for twice the capacity.

>>29116213
no you need another hacked 3ds
>sky3ds
kek, you're basically in the same place as anyone else on vanilla 11.1, why didn't you downgrade before May, sky3ds is pretty useless.

>>29116049
I'm currently filling all of my needs with a dsR4 (NDS roms, lolSNES, Lameboy, NESds), and stuff from the homebrew starter kit (mGBA, GameYob, blargSNES)

If you could offer me a way to play NDS roms on my N3DS without buying a new R4, that would interest me, in that it would let me compact the two devices into one (albeit the bulkier of the two. it's nice to just carry around my dinky nds unless I have a gba or 3ds game I specifically want to play. also, much longer battery life. 3DS has smartphone battery life. NDS has brick nokia battery life)

If it can't do that, then I've got pretty much no reason to upgrade unless I wanted to replay XY or ORAS in some capacity ever, even with mods (heck no), or pirate games (only if I can't acquire them in a way that supports the creator, or if I explicitly don't want to support the creator, in which case why am I playing something that bad?).

>>29116315
You can force boot the R4 with certain forwarder apps.

>>29116315
alternately, if there's a way to play GBA roms on a NDS without buying new hardware, then I am like... SUPER down. I don't think I'd ever touch Ironhax again if that were the case, the R4 just everything so much better.
I guess there's still technically injection, but I've yet to actually use that feature. the only time I even considered it was when my friends were thinking of starting a local pokemon league on campus, complete with handing out 3d printed badges, beginning with a big tournament among the 12 of us to determine who would be E4 and what was the gym order.

>>29116300
I feel you, gotta stay within your means. 32 is perfectly fine anyway. Thats 10-20 games depending on size plus a ton of VC titles.

>>29116315
Interesting setup you have there, I've been using my phone to play DS titles myself (Mostly ace attorney)

>>29116302
That's pretty much what swayed me too. I had enough that I might as well go with the 64

>>29116349
does it need to be a 3ds R4, or will the old, old DS one work? because that's what I've got.
Got it from a friend who thought he broke it, and said if I could fix it I could have it. He just never installed an OS on it, it was a super easy fix.

But a clunker it remains. Even DSi's won't take this thing. I was under the impression that like, 3DSs wouldn't read this thing just as a matter of principle, no amount of tampering would get it to read right.

>>29116429
yeah, I'd absolutely use my phone for the DS stuff too (one less device to carry), except my phone has battery trouble just making it to lunch. If I can't so much as use it to browse 4chan while I wait 30min for my shift to start, expecting it to survive any length of time running emulators sounds out of the question.

>>29116529
baller.

So >>29116429 homeboy here is saying I could run my GBC games as VC. Does that play well with battery saves? Or would I have to either find a way to convert those, or if not possible, start over?
While I'm asking, if I had a rom of Blue I was currently going though, could I transfer those mon just like the VC Blue on the eshop?

>>29116547
or you could just say what you linked to and not be a dick.

>>29114435
No, because I tried before using the Freaky Forms Deluxe hack and couldn't get it working, and I'm too lazy to really get it working. Although I might try again. I do have a 10.7.0-32U so that should be old enough?

>>29116621
Yes it works perfectly fine. I actually exported my GS1 save to my PC in order to transfer my save to TLA with VBALink, exported the battery file then imported that TLA battery file to VC. Because fuck those 6 page long passwords.

It just requires you to load the game you wish to do, then open decrypt9 immediately afterwards then you can import of export gbavc saves.


GBAtemp probably explains the process better than I just did though

God I can't wait for the NX to come out so all these hacking fags can finally die.

Is there a retard-proof guide on how to patch AGB_FIRM as safely as possible? I have Luma, no al9h (I don't want to risk bricking and being forced to update, though I regret not doing it early on when there was that safe period).

>>29117161
Didn't mean to quote, sorry.

>>29117161
a9lh has a rather low brick risk, don't be a pussy man. If you already have luma then it should be simple, especially on N3DS

>>29117192
It's an O3DS.

>>29117161
http://pastebin.com/rSvR4bHd
you need to patch AGB_FIRM on sysNAND

emuNAND has luma so it does it for you

>>29117223
but you should get a9lh

>>29117221
Its still a pretty simple procedure. I've done 5 O3DS and 2 N3DS and never had a problem that wasn't caused by failing to read instructions properly. If you take it step by step and read carefully you'll be fine, I assure you.

>>29117289
I think the reason I'm so cautious is just because I had >>29115926 happen to me.

I think I'll try it after I play SM, since that's the only upcoming 3DS release I care about and I'll have time to find a replacement 3DS in the event some rare catastrophic event happens to brick me.

>>29117338
It's not even possible to softbrick.
It's safer than normal downgrading, even.

>>29117382
Has the technique improved enough to give zero risk like that? I remember there was still low risk of shit fucking up and bricking due to shit like hardware malfunction when I last checked

>>29117431
it really has. there used to be like 5 steps involving making emunands and all kinds of shit but not anymore.

https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-1-(ARM9)

just give it a read

I beat Eternal X (insanity) and Rutile Ruby. For a moment I almost enjoyed myself but the base games are just too fucking bad. Bad music, shit characters, boring locales, terrible designs and writing that would be insulting to a 3-year old.

If you want a hard Pokémon game, it's PMD or nothing.

On the latest firmware is it possible to hack, I have both OoT3D and powersave

>>29114435
Has anyone made a hack that's pure double battles?

Because I have to buy a game to hack it.

>>29117431
It's literally as safe as restoring a NAND backup: ie perfectly safe

>>29117610
For one gen, I would love it if they went to Chunsoft and did a joint project, with Chunsoft writing the story and handling the difficulty curve and Gamefreak doing the mechanics, designs, etc.

>>29117841
Gamefreak purchase of Chunsoft when?

bolbol

>>29117858
No way, Chunsoft are industry legends. The CEO invented Dragon Quest, AKA the foundation for literally every RPG ever, including Pokémon. Gamefreak are probably honored to see them making Pokémon games.

>>29117858
I'm pretty sure part of why Chunsoft makes such good PMD games is because they're allowed to do their own thing without Game Freak breathing down their necks. PSMD has some difficulty spikes that even surprised me as an adult, Game Freak would probably force them to tone it down a ton. Also what the other anon said about Chunsoft being legends, though I've admittedly never played one of their games outside the PMD series.

I did not need these tripple dubs, Dubs Man.

>>29118794
But you can. I played some people with Star Sapphire and even won twice.

Hilariously enough I was the only one with a legit team because everyone else had legendaries and hackmons.

>>29118882
You can? Does it only limit you to other romhack players?

>>29118838
>TFW It's N

>>29115183
Any of the difficulty hacks. I know EXWY does it for sure, and I definitely noticed an AI improvement during my run of Star Sapphire.

>>29118886
No.

What, you think the 3DS has VAT or something? It doesn't even have bans for longer than two weeks, ever.

>>29115120
And Meme Sapphire combines the difficulty of Star/Rutile with the changes of Rising/Sinking. As a result of having more Pokemon available to you though (and the trainer teams not being modified to take advantage of Pokemon changes), I'd peg the order of difficulty for ORAS hacks to be Star/Rutile > Meme > Sinking/Rising from hardest to easiest.

>>29118998
Yeah Rutile had some real ballbusters, like the first Ace Trainer you fight.

Forget Baton Pass, that Sylveon with Hyper Voice oneshots everything unboosted.

>>29118800
Dray (the bloke who made SHSS and BBVW2) made the Rising Ruby/Sinking Sapphire hacks though.

>>29115961
Yes, follow Plailect's Guide to downgrade and install a9lh, then you can always be on the latest firmware and never have to worry.

People act like installing a9lh means you HAVE to pirate CIAs but if you're really against all that you can just use a9lh to always have access to homebrew and still be on the latest system update with no fuss.

>>29116946
NX will likely take a lot longer to be hacked. The 3DS took fucking ages and that was with Nintendo not even knowing CFW would be a threat and just focusing on flashcarts. Hell, Wii U still doesn't have IOSU so piracy on it is limited.

>>29118886
It depends on the romhack. That anon was using Star Sapphire which, along with Rutile Ruby, doesn't actually change any of the Pokemon locations or movesets/stats/abilities/etc. It makes national dex Pokemon available from the start but they're in their normal locations and so as a result, all the Pokemon you catch in the game will be completely legal.

Other romhacks like EXWY or Rising/Sinking actually modify Pokemon to make them more viable as well as changing where you can find them in the game, that means they won't pass the legality check for online play.

The other issue is that the update patch CIAs tend to break some of the features of the romhacks when you have them installed but IIRC recently there's been a way around that so a lot of the romhack authors have been able to include compatibility with the update CIAs in their hacks.

>>29119079
The worst Ace Trainer for me was the guy with the Mega Sableye right before that treetop village area. My team was battered by the time I made it to him and he consistently pushed my shit in and I could literally see the edge of the town on my screen from where I was standing. Took ages to get by him.
Hands down the hardest fight though was that final one with Zinnia before catching fug and deoxys. I finally beat her then Deoxys stalled till he almost struggled to death, I almost lost my shit.

Who here has the difficulty hack and the busty May mod in one.

>>29119304
My worst fight was still in Eternal X, the fire E4. I was like 15 levels under her and she just annihilated my entire team with no effort, due to that annoying Ninetails using sunlight to completely gimp my water attacks.

>>29119407
Haha, I'm currently playing through Eternal X, just got through Victory Road with my team at around the late 70s. Glad to know I have something difficult to look forward to. Honestly I find with all these difficulty hacks that once you have a proper team with their proper moves it becomes substantially easier to win most of the fights unless they happen to have something that you have no check or counter to.

>>29119407
I also reckon the hardest fight in EXWY, for me personally at least, was that Grass gym with the fucking Sky Forme Shaymin. I had to rely on getting lucky with a Quick Claw to outspeed it and land an Ice Punch. I don't think it was scarfed but it outsped my entire team and wrecked me repeatedly.

>>29118800
There won't be because no one is bothering to learn 3ds scripting. Maybe in a few years.

I don't know how to hack my console.
I'm on 11.1 and only have one 3ds xl. I think I'm fucked.

>>29119917
yes

>>29119422
That's the E4 for you. There's one Triple Battle that's nearly as bad, with an extremely annoying Rain Dance Ludicolo taking super effective potshots at you.

Sadly the champ is a complete pushover. I think it's an inside joke or something.

>>29119445
Hmm, I don't even remember that one. There was a Togekiss in RR with Serene Grace though, god that was a horrifying fight.

I'm thinking about replaying EX with a team consisiting of ChespinAzurillFletchlingScizorDratiniHonedge, I'll see if I remember it this time

>a9hl
What is this?
I installed ReiNand months ago and then completely stopped caring about hacking my 3ds. Am I missing out on something? Is my cfw outdated?

>>29115084
Where exactly did OP imply you skip playing the vanilla game first

>>29114435
Having to do half the work for Gamefreak's lazy ass, well done anon.

I have a 2ds idk how hack

>>29120207
It's outdated as shit, we have cfw on sysnand now (So no need for emunand)
I'd recommend updating to a9lh and use Luma3ds instead (Follow the plailect guide from the beginning, it gives you steps to transfer your games/saves from reinand in the process)
>>29120239
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki
i hope your version doesn't start with 11

How many gen 6 hacks don't fuck with Pokemon typings, move powers/types, etc? I've never liked that about some hacks.

>tfw I have two consoles when the first a9lh install wave but with the emunand because it was safer
>one of the consoles works just fine, but the other has a chink SD card and can't install huge game like Pokémon

Even /hbg/ can't help me. ;_;

>>29120333
...buy a new sd card for 5$?

>>29114435
of course I have. I also updated it ;-;

>>29120330
Legal Version of Eternal X/Wilting Y doesn't affect any 'mons majorly, and Rutile Ruby/Star Sapphire doesn't touch them at all

>>29120475
Majorly?

>>29120520
It gives them their hidden abilities as their second ability, changes some TMs, and gives them some egg moves on level up, but nothing like base stat changes, abilities they don't normally have, or type changes.

>>29120533
That doesn't sound too bad. I'll look into them.

Thanks.

>>29114435
I havn't
because i'm too much of a retard to into any of that hacking shit

I'm neet and got a9lh.

3DS needs to be on the right firmware then you just follow the guide.

>>29120775
i'm too retarded about any of this shit to understand any guides i look at
and I don't trust myself to do it without fucking up and don't want a bricked 3ds

>>29120825
life sure is hard if you can't follow a step by step guide

>>29120825
Can you follow a numbered list? Do you know how to put files on a SD card? Do you know how to hit buttons in sequence?
If yes, you can do it. If no, you probably shouldn't be allowed near computers.

>>29120825
>>29120859
>>29120878
>yfw to stupid to hack ds

>>29114435
Intended too, then worried about bricking it and lost interest.

>>29120919
it's pretty much brick safe nowadays... unless you fuck up and dl the wrong files (JP for NA etc)

>>29121044
Knowing me I'd accidentally overwrite the wrong byte and cause a stackoverflow or a halt-and-catch-fire.

>>29121136
you literally have to copy files and press buttons, how do you manage to not set your pc on fire if you can't do that? Are you at least on a good firmware?

>>29121184
By being a complete retard who can't even get his driver license.

>>29114435
>muh deefecolty
When will this retarded meme stop?

>>29121218
The worst part is when people update, realize later that they want it, ask you to do it and then get scared of the hack system transfer and it's all back to square one. That and people I know that go "no thanks I'm fine with supporting nintendo"

>>29121254
What is wrong with supporting things you like? I want them to keep making and translating games, not abandon them at all because they didn't sell and everyone pirates them

>>29121567
noone forces you to pirate on your unlocked 3ds

>>29121586
and there's barely any reason to unlock it if you're not going to, too much hassle for a save manager and screenshot plugin maybe

>>29114435
>implying I own a 3DS

>>29121567
You get more features on the hacked 3ds, you don't have to pirate anything if you don't want to and I don't understand why everyone acts like that's the only thing you can do. When you actually have a hacked one you see how much Nintendo was limiting you before. Save managers, custom themes, event assistant, easier screenshots, streaming, etc.

>>29121668
>too much hassle

literally 1.5h of your life, allowing you to play romhacks/translations of games you own, as well as streaming and qol stuff

>>29121688
>>29121724
not everyone needs them, i own two 3ds - one hacked, one not and the last time i used a hacked one was half a year ago to make sure shit game is shit and to have less trouble getting a livingdex. It's literal preference and nothing is wrong with that

>>29114435
Can someone help me by listing all of the things that a9lh can offer as a mod?
All I know is it can play SNES games, ROM hacks and download games straight from the shop.
What else can it do? What other consoles can it emulate?

>>29121866
All VC including GBA.
DS probably in december.

Forced to update my 3DS, still at 11.0.0.33, any ways to get Homebrew? Been using browserhax before

What is it with the influx of these threads lately? Just stay in homebrew general.

Only post this thread again when there's a way to hack 11.0 without soldering shit you faggot

I personally don't like the change, it's bullshit, just play with Pokemon how they are.

Finished Star Saphire Twice.
Currently finishing Wilting Y 6 bagde in(slightly easier compared to Star saphire)
If anybody wants to fight with their elite 4 team, let me know.

>>29120128
I was playing Insanity mode, that's the one where gym leaders get the legendaries. I'm pretty sure one of the later gyms in EX also has a Serene Grace Togekiss, maybe the fairy gym? I agree, it's a fucking nightmare. I've played through EX with Greninja, Farfetch'd, Gogoat, Umbreon, and Darmanitan, with Hawlucha as a HM Slave. Gogoat is a fucking boss, the speed boost he gets allows him to absolutely destroy.

>>29120207
Arm9Loaderhax (a9lh) is a payload that's installed directly to a partition of your NAND that's executed at early boot, allowing you to initiate custom code so early in the boot process that it even allows recovery from hard bricks. It's similar to BootMii for the Wii. A9LH is the best of the best as far as 3DS hacking goes - Ninty can never get rid of it or break it and it allows you to have CFW on the latest SysNAND no matter what. Even if they did manage to somehow brick you in an update for having it, the fact that the code is executed so early in the process would allow for easy recovery anyways. It's pretty darn easy to set up now, just takes some time waiting for backups to be created and transferred.

>>29120333
Just buy a shark card, they're extremely cheap and work well.

>>29122758
Download a prepatched CIA from the /hbg/ romhack guide which was linked somewhere in this thread or just use the romfs files from Rei's site as a LayeredFS plugin or a HANS redirect.

>>29114435

ill learn when installing CFW's onto 11.1 DSs can be done without a hard mod OP

>>29124784
so now? Maybe start by not updating every time nintendo asks you to

I don't want to brick my $200 device

Do you trust anything on the internet?

>>29125038
To be fair, not know what any of the terms mean and having 0 computer background other than shit posting online kinda deters you.

>>29125111
>thinking that any of the well-known devs in the scene would actually release malicious software
i bet you think ninty's stability updates are great too

>>29125440
you don't need to have any background provided you read the info in the guide, it's written assuming no prior knowledge.

>>29125511
I can't actually think of any really malicious software for the 3ds, has there actually been any made?

>>29125699
None that I can think of, GBATemp would be up in arms about it pretty quick if it ever did happen. The closest thing to 3DS malware we've had is Kernel Time Machine, lel.

I already tried before Fire Emblem Fates was coming out in the US. I got stuck at a yellow screen 300 times, so I gave up. They even said I put the files in all the right places, so I have to be the unluckiest guy in the world.

>>29125758
What did that do?

>>29125843
It was just some sperg's overhyped failed attempt at a system downgrader back when 10.3 downgrading was first discovered that had an even higher brick chance than the standard SysUpdater.

>>29125935
Ah, I see. I didn't really get into the scene until a bit after that.
Thankfully there's no malware like the Vita has, there'd be tons of kiddies wiping their device accidentally (means less now, but still).

>>29126079
The funniest thing about that time was that there didn't even need to be any malware because despite the frequent warnings from the devs that the downgrade process was completely unstable and had a high chance of bricking, there was still an unbelievable number of GBATemp kiddies who were just too hyped up over the potential for piracy to listen, and it was those same kids who would sob in the thread about bricking their precious 3DS's.

>>29126712
Kek. Yeah, shit was really unstable back then. At this point, the 3ds has mostly passed the stage where malware can have a big impact, I feel, since restoring your nand is simple as long as you have the backup.
It's actually kinda strange, really, the lack of malware for 3ds. Vita has some, the DS had some, I'm sure there's been some for other consoles, but not really anything for 3ds.

Since S&M have boss pokemon

I wonder if files can be arranged for any pokemon to be a giant boss version. Hacks should be interesting.
