Hi, I am using 3DS.hacks.guide to homebrew my 3ds, it is very old (version 11.6) but I can't link the page because my account is new :( I am using the ssloth-browser tutorial.

When I get to section III (Launching SafeB9SInstaller) I followed all the steps scanned the QR code ect ect but it freezes on a green screen when I try and launch SafeB9SInstaller. How can I fix this? is it because my files are in the wrong place or something? Also is it safe to just power it off/take out the SD while it is frozen on the green screen?

Pretty sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but the guide states that the green screen is caused by a missing or wrongly placed/missing boot.nds file.
Where is the boot.nds file? The tutorial only mentions a boot.3dsx file. I didnt think you would need an nds file with a 3ds.

Quoted straight from the troubleshooting guide:

Browser based exploits (such as this one) are often unstable and crash frequently, but they can sometimes be fixed by doing the following steps.


  1. Launch the browser, then launch the browser settings
  2. Scroll to the bottom and select “Reset Save Data” (it may also be called “Initialize Save Data” or “Clear All Save Data”)
  3. Try the exploit again
Also, that guy who said it was due to a missing boot.nds was thinking about DSiWareHax, NOT SSloth-browser.

I tried again and it worked?? Weird how it didn't work the first time, thanks for the help though!

I never suggested that the reply I made was the solution for the OP. That page just lists some issues that could arise wth SafeB9sInstaller in general and specifically to it's use in certain exploits.

I wouldn't recommend looking for the problem in other parts, and if there's a problem not listed, use the closest bet, don't just use Ctrl+F

    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
