Several months ago I posted about having a 3ds with frankenware that will not boot into any apps from the main menu or boot any cartridge without giving the error message. Here's a video showing the 3ds:



Well today I decided to try again with the 3ds to install boot9strap and was finally successful after an hour or so. Now I have no idea what to do but I am able to boot into Godmode9, Decrypt9WIP, and Hourglass9. I have the 2.1.0 file to downgrade the system but could not find a tutorial to help anywhere. Please keep in mind I will not be able to use the 3ds menu for anything because apps will not open.

So you have b9s installed now and able to boot into godmode9 and decrypt9wip? Are you able to boot into Luma by chance? And I know you said you're on frankenware but what firmware does your 3ds show? Do you have any backups from before you did the frankenware?

How do I boot into Luma? I can't open the system settings to find out which firmware I'm on. The only backup I have is with the Frankenware. I was in the middle of installing Luma3DS and succesfully downgraded to 2.1.0. The website suddenly changed while I was in the middle of downgrading, and I thought that the website was offline because I couldn't get the exploit to load. Instead of asking for help I had the bright idea of using a smash bros cartridge to update back from the low firmware which caused the frankenware.

    @SylverReZ, 1) except final fantasy 16. 2) why would I have a console's whole catalogue if most of the games are either shovelware or terrible games?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Kind of a waste, but the allure of all those games over 100,000
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some shovel ware with low ratings you might enjoy more than the ratings would sugest

    Cruisn on the Wii is one of my personal examples of that, it's considered one of the worst games of all time, I loved it and completed it several times.

    The trick for me was to go into the settings and crank up the Wiimote sensitivity to the max and it gets twitchy but you can win that way lol
