Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Uumas]

Hi,
I just hacked a friend's n3dsxl using bs9. She's not a hardcore gamer and will use it lightly. So I just wanted to ask is it ok to update it to the latest firmware? If so what is the tradeoff? Thanks

You can safely update. Everything works on 11.4

Is there any special procedure for installing foreign regions cias?

No, just install them. Luma takes care of region-free.

Hi everyone.
I have but one question.
Is there any way for me to hide folders/ icons/ app/ title id (more specifically, luma updater, FBI, Homebrew menu, etc) inside my 3DS Home menu?
Is this even achievable?

My current 3DS info:
- Followed https://3ds.guide/ from stock to boot9strap. Currently having Godmode9, Luma, FBI, Themely, etc by following the guide.
- Now at Emunand sys 11.4, with the original stock version at v 11.3 and below (I guess you guys call it SysNAND?)
- Installed an official theme via Themely, with BGM in my 3DS

Thanks in advance to all pros out there helping newbies out. ^ ^
Really appreciate the help you guys provide =)

Guess this isn't a newbie question, since my post was ignored ＿|￣|○
I'll try to create a thread to ask for help. Thanks guys.( ^ω^ )

Can we boot the 3ds (with Luma on it) without the sd card?

I'm pretty sure we could boot without any problem. I tried it last time and it worked flawlessly. ^^

I'm on gateway looking to switch to Luma so I can play online. Will my CIA saves transfer to Luma without having to convert them? Note they aren't .3ds saves but .cia saves. Here's an image of the files on the root of my SD

Not worth it. Custom firmware can do basically everything a flashcart can. Except if you want to play old ds games, then you'll need a ds flashcard but they are cheap like below 10$

Yes, if you use Gateway or Sky3DS and play online without using a private header.

Your saves from CIA installs are stored on your SD card and encrypted. You won't lose them by changing your CFW or entrypoints. If you're worried, you can always back them up with JKSM before making changes to your setup. The only time you'll lose those saves is by formatting your SD card or uninstalling the game.

Saves from Gateway .3DS roms are encrypted differently than CIA saves and cannot be used interchangeably without a conversion to the correct format.

Actually, you'll have to find another method for updating, since the current version of Luma does not allow you to update from system settings

It's not necessary to update, it just allows you to go online without running anything else. You should finish the guide (or google SysUpdater, which means you'll have to get the update manually with 3DNUS)

You should though. It's a pain that you have to update manually but you can still update fine
