I have a noob question. I have never had cfw before. When I try and boot boot9strap (hold start at boot up) I just go to the regular 3ds menu. Help me please.

Hello, I was wondering if any of you could help me with my question. I am just going to start hacking my new 2ds xl (I am waiting for my flashcart to arrive) and was looking to download a bunch of games that I used to own but lost, games like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Link Between worlds. I know I can download them through freeshop and stuff but the thing I haven't found yet how to do is if I somehow can download save files so that I can just go straight to play master mode, is there a site or database for save files or would I be better off using cheats? (And if so, how would I proceed on doing it)

Okay, I'm following 3ds.guide to get boot9strap but it says for verson 11.6.0 (old 2ds) I need a 3ds with boot9strap already on it. Is there any other methods I can use? Or should I just buy a 3ds with everything on it?

If I wanted to homebrew a new 2dsxl using soundhax would I select the new 3ds | new 3dsxl option?

Hi,

if I'm lucky I'll get a 2DS (I'll make sure to get one that has a firmware not higher than 11.3, with serial code analysis) tomorrow for hacking purposes. But with this recent Github chaos (which I don't fully understand) I'm worried that the required files to make Soundhax and LumaCFW work on a 2DS, are now broken (I plan to get a 2DS with firmware 9.0 - 11.3). Can anyone pls confirm that these required file aren't affected by this "Github problem" ? (And maybe explain me why they are not ?).

PS: I've downloaded the required files yesterday 22.02.18 at +- 22:00. The only thing I need to download is otherapp payload, as I don't know what version I''ll get, but this can't be downloaded on a github site.

Thx for your help :)

Don't worry about it. It's just that some Homebrew apps will be unable to download from GitHub but it doesn't affect installation in any way and even after that you probably won't notice it except maybe if you try to use titledb or Luma Updater. Those two are the most common things that might be broken.

Ok thanks! So will I still be able to get PKHex & Freeshop? Those are the only Homebrew apps I care about

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.

    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
