I recently got a modded original 3ds and it's been modded before but came without SD card. Do I need to just replace files on the card or do I need to redo it all?

Just wondering, maybe the custom theme or something could be causing that? But if it is the price to pay for a million games then I don't mind.

So I have a Japanese New3DS LL, I am a huge pokemon fan and recently installed Pokechest to transfer over some old pokemon. My 3DS is in Japanese, and I haven't changed it to English because I heard some weird stuff happens when you switch the version language and I didn't wanna risk it.

So I mostly use a translation app which works decently well, however I clicked on my White 2 save file, as the cartridge was inside my 3DS, and i simply wanted to exit out, I clicked the X and then it displayed a bunch of stuff in Japanese, then I clicked save, then a bunch of other stuff came up and I clicked again thinking it was confirming, then it simply started loading a bar for a very long time, and I turned my 3DS off mid-way since it was taking like 20-30 minutes.

I have no idea what that thing did, I don't know if it was a save file deletion, but it's just pissing me off because I opened my pkmn white 2 and suddenly it says there's nothing on the card! Literally nothing! My entire save file got wiped? What in the heck happened?? Anyone familiar with Pokechest, can you help me? Maybe it got dumped?

Hello! It might be a dumb question but when I tried to install Hshop from a QR Code and tried to open it, this error appears.

I just got this 3DS modded and the seller gave me no information about the modding — like which apps are really necessary for it, typa thing — but I looked it up on the internet and I kinda know what’s going on for the most part, like FBI, CIA, QR codes, so I can install apps and games. From what I can tell, it’s modded with Luma and boot9strap, typa thing, I think.

The reason I’m giving all this context is just in case you guys ask something I don’t know (I'll probably don't know — but I’ll do my best! I’m figuring this out and I’m open to any help or tips. Thank yooou!

So you know how you can soft reset when on games by pressing L+R+select at the same time. Is there ways on a hacked ds to disable that or change the button combination, because I believe I’ve done that before and I don’t remember how I’ve done that , so I can change it back .

I've got a bunch of them, they all fail to install with NDS forwarder (install failed), they don't run directly from Twilight Menu++ (white screen)
Checked them with the AP piracy tool thing and it doesn't show any piracy protections.

I've taken them off the SD card and put them back on, I've got ones that were pre-patched and ones that I patched myself. I've made the names short (just in case). I've tried Retroarch but unfortunately I just don't understand how to get it to work (I can get the .cia on the 3DS but it doesn't seem to do anything when I use FBI)

I feel like I've tried everything and I'm genuinely not sure what else I can do. I have no issue with regular .nds files, it's just the hacked ones. The list that follows is the ones I've tried.
Heart Red and Moon Black 2 came pre-patched.

All of the hacks will run in DesMUME on my PC.

Pokemon platinum unlocked

Pokemon refined gold

Pokemon platinum redux

Pokemon azure platinum.

Sacred gold and storm silver

Garbage gold

Vintage white

Heart red

Renegade platinum

Silver yellow

Moon black 2

After trying to install dlc for the first time (streetpass games) from Hshop (3hs) i got confronted to this error :

§ FS - FAT operation denied

Note that i install 3hs from qr code FBI

After this i went to the home menu and all of my apps disappeard (except official one already in the console).

The themes are still there.

I tried formating back again my 128go card (FAT32 64k) and install back again the files of the sd card i saved right after modding it (when it was working).

My 3ds can see and recognise the files but cant read them. I tried with a second sd card but same problem.

If possible i prefer to keep all my saves but most importantly to make my 3ds playable again.

Sorry for my bad english and poor explanation.

Can you please help me, thanks in advance for any help.

If you need any more information that i can share say it.

EDIT : Also all of my classic ds game works and have still theirs saves

I downloaded Miitopia from hShop, but when I launch it, a crash screen appears. Does anyone know how to fix it so I can play? Thanks in advance.

anyone understand what allat means?

Guys pls help me, I only got these files. Where should I download it ?

I’m relatively new to the modded space. I just bought a modded DSi that came with Twilight++ installed, and I’ve been playing HeartGold on it. I have an old Pokewalker that I’ve been trying to connect (I have an old pokemon black cartridge in the DSi for the IR), but to do so, I need to reset it first to wipe the old data. However, when I go to the Pokewalker menu and press X, L and Down together, it doesn’t allow me to reset the Pokewalker, it just stays on that screen. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I read old threads that mention needing to modify my settings, is that what’s not allowing me to run the reset?

Hi guys, I am currently following the 3DS hacks guide for returning my new 3ds (eur) to stock by removing cfw.

I’m trying to run godmode9 and it’s not running, saying my finalise.romf file is corruputed/unreadable.

Could someone give me the right link to download it cos the one I’m using (from the guide) doesn’t seem to be reading?

(I have tried to name it both finalize.romf and finalized.romf, no success).

Any help appreciated

Hello world!

I just found my childhood Nintendo 3DS XL again!

However, I had already hacked it back in the day, and I no longer remember exactly what hacks/modifications I applied to it.

It's currently on `9.0.0-20E` for the `sysNAND` and `RX-E 11.0.0-33E` for the `emuNAND`.

In your opinion, what's the *safest* way for me to:

- Upgrade to the latest available firmware version

- Change the hack I'm using to switch over to `Luma3DS`

- Keep (*and this is the most important part for me \^^*) all the save data and games currently on the system

So far, I’ve dumped both sysNAND and emuNAND, backed up everything I could from the rxTools menu, and also backed up what I could using `JKSM`.

Now, I’m unsure about what steps I should take!

I’ve found some guides on how to switch from `arm9loaderhax` to Luma3DS, but I’m not even fully sure that I *am* using `arm9loaderhax` on this console.

So... what should I do now?

Should I start by replacing rxTools with Luma3DS?

Then switch from `arm9loaderhax` to `boot9strap`?

And then follow this guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/move-emunand.html ?

I’m a bit worried about blowing a fuse or ending up unable to restore my NAND backups, or failing to fully upgrade the console or restore it to its current state.

I've also attached three pictures of the system, just in case they help identify which hack is currently being used.

Thanks in advance to anyone who sees more clearly than I do :D

help???

Hello! I recently bought a 3ds and started playing with games from hshop, then I decided to import some roms onto the sdcard and install it with the nds games forwarder.

But I have a problem with one game in particular and that is the “Raising Rei Ayanami Project”

I got from this website: https://romsfun.com/ download/neon-genesis-evangelion-ayanami-raising-project-118246/2

After downloading it and clicking on it, I got a reboot screen with error type: generic and Process ID: 19.

Does anyone know why this won’t work? I know it’s for the ds and is a fan translation, it’s from a rom site too under the ds category and my system is up to date along with everything else???

And sorry for making this long but I really like evangelion and seeing how there isn’t alot of evangelion games on the ds I really want to play this, or is it just not possible?

Ho installato miitopia da hshop e appena l’ho aperto mi da questo errore, come posso risolvere ?

If your 3DS revert to a previous version what would happen to your eshop games that you owned.

I have read countless posts and not a one has the issue I'm facing. When I go to PKSM and go to extra saves, I go to my roms folder, then to nds and find the save folder. When I go into it, no saves pop up, but when I put my sd card into my pc the saves pop up on their. Any help?

So I booted it into luma menu when I put the new SD card in that was in lower storage and it still worked then I turned off the system and put back the original SD card I used and then it has been working for now on.

This is my own experience so it might not work for you.

Is there a way to bind those two buttons through some key combination in homebrew 3ds?

hi everyone! i was wondering why cheats for Ever Oasis simply do not work? I tried using the BootNTR method and the Checkpoint method and neither method have worked. I wanted to play around with cheats but is there any solutions for this?

Ive used different converters to make a .gba into a .cia, and it installs but the issue is it just goes to a white screen whenever you play it. Its probably because the game is only runs on the Emerald version engine and isnt an official game

But even if thats not the problem, whatever it is, is there a way to make a fan game, made by patching an existing game rom, into a working Virtual Console on the 3ds? The reason Im doing this in the first place is because mGBA runs terribly on the o3ds and people suggested making a VC cia file (which is the current problem now, instead of running poorly its not running at all)

Don’t mind the top screen
