I don't think it's possible to install devmenu or bbb on 9.5 emunand, I tried and had that exact same problem.
I'm on 4.3, coolfuze.
Make sure your firewall isn't blocking it, I had success on 4.5 when I changed my ip settings on my 3DS to static.
Can I change settings (ie change network, disconnect, reconnect on another network) while the CFW is booted? Dont wanna shutdown hehe
Yeah you can No need to reboot
Coolfuze: Could it be a port blocked on the router?
Once you change the static ip and exit the settings it will go back into non cfw mode, you would need to run the ds profile exploit again.
Only way I can think of is when I'm in sysnand I change my icons so its one row, when I'm in cfw I change it to be 4 rows or more, that way when the 3ds boots it starts with one row, that way I know not to update or do anything, when I run the ds profile exploit to boot into cfw it automatically changes to 4 rows, then I know I'm in cfw.
You said you can't connect. When the CFW starts directly open your webbrowser and load a website. Then use run.bat.
If I do this will I have problems if I ever decide to get a Gateway?
Will this work on my 9.2 3DS? I was saving it for Gateway, but if there's a free way to get CFW I'm all for it.
Tried that but without success.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, how familiar are you with vmware?
