    Hacking 3ds Boots up with a Black screen, restoring NAND didnt work

    This is a common issue, it happens with my old R4i Gold card too which I have permanently inserted, and sometimes after cleaning the 3ds it gets shifted a little and the contacts aren't good anymore, usually a removal and firm reinsertion fixes the problem, but completely removing the card is...

    Homebrew [Release] Linux for the 3DS

    Nice, but 1. Keyboard doesn't allow ' or " characters to be typed on my O3DS XL, (other characters appear instead (a comma and an angled bracket)) 2. weston gui doesn't respond to screen taps, so unusable 3. make password an empty string 4. protip: standard hexdump -Cv command produces...

    Hacking 3DS 11.5 system update incoming

    If you are still on A9LH you can't have an up to date Luma since after v7.0 it stopped support for A9LH. But, in any case, yes you can update, I have A9LH + Luma 7.0 and update to 11.5 without any issues. I do want to update to B9S, but have read too many post about random crashes compared to...

    Homebrew Is the banwave over?

    Be careful peeps. Nintendo can't ban EVERYONE, IN ONE GO, meeting a simplistic criteria like "has custom firmware or hombrew activity in a log" - they will have at least, say (for argument's sake) 1% "bad calls" - young siblings whose older brother/sister experimented incompetently with their...

    Hacking Been a while since I've last been on, now I want to know a few things...

    gateway and all other hacks were killed by a9lh - everyone just learn this, install a9lh. But, I have to say the effort to create and install game cia's (even if you're just doing it for testing purposes and fully intend to buy the cartridge if impressed) is not well explained , and requires a...

    Hacking is it possible to speed up CIA installation?

    Try reformatting your card with sd formatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ Benchmark it with HD Tune http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/hd_tune.html , and make sure you get at least 10MB/s across the whole 32GB (a few small drops is not a concern, but major drops in speed...

    Hacking The fastest way to pirate Sun/Moon?

    I suppose, if we're just having a bit of fun, the fastest way is to wait at your local store on day of release until some poor kid buys it then rob them outside the shop

    Hacking "SD Card has been removed" error on sysnand 11.1.0-34E but not on 9.2

    What do you mean "it is the sd card reader" - it works fine in earlier firmware (9.2)

    Hacking What to do before sending a9lh 2ds with broken screen to nintendo for repair?

    Just send it in, it's not illegal to install arm9loaderhax, and even if it was you could just say that must have happened when you lent it to a mate. Worst scenario, you get it back fixed with latest firmware. You could just sell it on ebay as a mint condition 3DS.

    Hacking "SD Card has been removed" error on sysnand 11.1.0-34E but not on 9.2

    I don't need a hardmod, since I have arm9loaderhax and a 9.2 nand.bin backup. In fact i wonder if by experimenting switching back and forth between sysnands via decrypt9's backup/restore feature caused an issue. Maybe I should have just updated once over the internet to 11.1.0.34 and left it at...

    Hacking "SD Card has been removed" error on sysnand 11.1.0-34E but not on 9.2

    I ordered a new SD card but it was a dud, probably shouldn't go for the cheapest on ebay! Not sure if it's the sd card though since have have never once seen the error on 9.2 sysnand, maybe I did something weird between installing teh games on 9.2 and then upgrading. It doesn't seem to be a...

    Hacking "SD Card has been removed" error on sysnand 11.1.0-34E but not on 9.2

    I have arm9loaderhax and Luma3ds CFW, and I have transferred all my cartridges to CIAs installed on the home menu on a 32gb SD card. I have no problems playing them in 9.2.0-20E firmware, but when I upgrade to the latest 11.1.0-34E I keep getting "SD Card has been removed" errors randomly during...

    Hacking Is it worth doing NAND dumps on an a9lh enabled 3DS above 9.2?

    OF COURSE! More seriously, are people sayin' that, for 100% confidence, a full backup of sysNAND + SDCARD is required after every update?

    Hacking Is it worth doing NAND dumps on an a9lh enabled 3DS above 9.2?

    Ok cheers, I've got a good 9.2 backup, and the latest 11.1-0.34. I can switch between them fine using decrypt9 sysnand restore, although somethings like youtube won't work when I restore the earlier 9.2 sysnand (Luckily I also kept a backup of my FULL working SD card on 9.2, so I can always go...
