Hacking Steelminer (JPN free cfw , US/EU/JP free homebrew)

[Hexe921]

Homebrew apps can be unreliable, but JKSM tends to work without any problems for me. Are you using the version from ...? Do you have jksm.xml in the same folder as jksm.3dsx?

I don't think Checkpoint works from the homebrew menu at all. Also note that the 3dsx version of JKSM is quite incapable of backing up Mii Plaza saves.

I found a *super* generic save manager on reddit /r/3dshacks/comments/3j273o/save_manager/ that seems to export saves, but I do not trust it. It throws everything in the same folder and crashes often. I tried JKSM from github. But that didn't work out, so I'll give that version a try. Thanks! I'm not worried about Mii Plaza.

Using fuse-3ds, you can do all the decrypting and extracting with a Windows PC, if you're so inclined.

You can also use fuse-3ds to extract data from a NAND backup made using godmode9, including Mii Plaza save data. (But, again, you won't be able to re-import it using JKSM.)

And fuse-3ds only needs movable.sed? I was a little confused when looking over it yesterday, since it mentioned seedDB. I don't want to put CFW or anything more than homebrew menu on my main N3DS. I have a lot of money put into my eShop account there (which is shared with my Wii U & Switch), so I'm not willing to risk anything.

I think that one's extremely old, yes.

Different functions will require different files, but if you're just decrypting a "Nintendo 3DS" folder from an SD card, you do not need seeddb.

I think you might need boot9.bin, but that's the same for every console and you should be able to find it up for download somewhere. (It can be dumped with godmode9, but only when booting with b9s.)

I downloaded that version of jksm, but it crashed on red. But then I added the xml from the the github, and it presented me with an interface similiar to the save manager that I downloaded earlier. After I selected animal crossing, some loading happened, but animal crossing isn't visible under titles.

I thought I'd stick with save manager, but that now also just crashed on red ... I guess homebrew apps just aren't gonna happen for me, huh?

I got svdt working! Importing didn't seem to work with save manager, but svdt imported without trouble! Now I just need to learn how to use it a little more...

I downloaded that version of jksm, but it crashed on red.

It just so happens JKSM was just resurrected from a lengthy absence, and the version currently available apparently isn't quite compatible with *hax yet.

I'm not sure if it would be all right to upload the previous 3DSX version again. It will probably be ready to go soon enough.

Thanks work perfect on my new 3ds JP.
Let me ask, is it possible to change just the language (not the region) of the system? Exist some patch or some topic talking about it? Thank you.

after i run the steel diver i get an error message.

From the instructions at http://steelminer.jisagi.net/ :

* The game crashed with an error message

Check if you have the /steelhax/ folder and the correct payload.bin

OMG. Thank You It works

Is there a way to install .cia files with Steelminer? I'm trying to get an old flashcard working for my New 2DS, so I was wondering if it was possible.

You install .cia files by installing boot9strap and Luma so you can run FBI. Otherwise, no, you cannot install .cia files.

Is it possible to have both Steelminer and Luma or boot9strap installed?

To be clear: steelminer is a way of installing steelhax, steelhax can be used to access the Homebrew Launcher, and the Homebrew Launcher is used to install boot9strap and Luma (via frogtool or a dsiware hax), among other things.

Once you install boot9strap and Luma, steelhax cannot be used to access the Homebrew Launcher anymore, but this is irrelevant because Luma provides an alternative means of running the Homebrew Launcher.

Alright, I got it to work. Thanks a lot, mate
