Yep. Now that I think about, though, I'm not sure the official SD Formatter tool will allow you to choose Fat32 for 64 GB cards. You might have to use a different tool.

Ive always used the disk utility on my mac for this stuff but with the 3DS, I stuck to using nintendo's recommended thing which is sd formatter. I guess ive always done 32 and below before. I used this 64 in my switch. Copying the data to 64 to see if it works now. Ill post once it is done again.
Edit: yea it was the formatting. thanks Gaardus. Sorted now.
So I was going to give Metroid a try in citra. When I try and dump it with godmode9 it fails instantly. I can dump every other game I have tried but metriod wont go. Its driving me mad lol anyone have anything I can try to get it to go? It loads fine on the 3ds and I have the out folder dunno what else to do.

This is gonna sound sill but do you have enough free space ?
I just had a look on the dark side and the game has been dumped so it's dumpable at least.
Maybe try one of the other cart dumpers ?
I finally got it. fk me that was a pain. So no matter what I did it would not go. So what I did was convert it to a .cia then decrypt it and then move the .cia to my pc and convert the .cia to .3ds so it will now work with citra! Then I got the switch pro controller working with it so now I can enjoy 4k Metriod on my tv

How's the framerate? Is not having split screen a major loss?

I followed the guide up to the point where it said to insert my SD card into my computer.
I have a mid-2009 macbook pro. How do I put my SD card into it?

Assuming it has USB ports, you could try a USB-compatible SD card reader.

Can these be bought at a local electronics store? By that, I mean are they easy to be found? How much do they cost, usually?

Does it not have an SD card slot?
Ah, so that's what that port is.
I would still need an adapter though. I don't have the big thingy as seen in the picture; only the small SD card that's in my 3DS.
LOL, this is hilarious. Anyway, yeah adaptors are super cheap and often come with the micro SD card. If you have a New 3DS, you could just use the built-in fileserver thingy in System Settings > Data Management rather than removing the SD card all the time, though from experience, that doesn't work on macOS.

It is windows only unfortunately.
Fps has been stable only seen a few dips. I do have a 7700k and 1080 thou. I am also using a hacky version of citra I found on youtube so I can unlock the rez. I play with big screen little screen so I get split screen.

Quick question: I have a 2ds with homebrew, luma and godmode9, but I don't know if it has boot9strap or not, and I would like to check before updating the 2ds. How can I check this?

Havent touched my 3DS in awhile. Saw the B9 stuff and the bans.
Is the ban console specific or account specific? I dont really need CFW, its just nice to have, but I play my Switch and will probably dust the ol 3DS off when Pokémon releases.

Console specific so far. We still have no idea what causes it (it was fairly random, like even in a poll to determine the cause only ~50% were affected, which is much less than you'd expect since polls like that tend to get disproportionate attention from people who were affected) and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it (unless some of the reportees were lying), the major theory was proven wrong because that information isn't sent online. Some people thought there'd be a second wave but there wasn't, no one has been banned for inexplicable reasons since. So in summary ???.
panthapanda
Member
Haha, thanks. Was worried if it would be account specific. Not so worried about console since its basically a Pokémon machine at this point.
Just installed G9. Was fairly easy. I assume its basicaly future proof at this point?

Open your SD and check it you have a file named "arm9loaderhax.bin" - if so, you have A9LH installed, proceed to installing boot9strap.
If you have a file named "boot.firm" (or both), you most likely already installed boot9strap and you probably want to update it's installation.
On any case, by booting SafeB9SInstaller the program will automatically check which exploit and you have installed and will overwrite the old version.
Eeeeh... It's OK-ish. It's missing the SUPER NINTENDO logo, the four-color buttons and the dark grey Home button
I got this N3DS for 55, between trade-ins and store credit, so I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I can't use it until next Tuesday, though, due to the stupid system transfer limit of 7 days imposed by Nintendo. Kindly fuck off, Nintendo <.<

Ive seen people post some hex codes as "gateway codes" for a game. Is this like save editing? How do you implement it into a game you own?
It's like Gameshark or Game Genie codes. The Gateway codes themselves can only be used with the Gateway flash cart, but with some finagling, they can be converted into NTR plugins to be used with games. I think you can use NTR cheat plugins with Luma now too.
I would assume that's a code for Gateway, a flashcart that barely anyone uses these days.
Having an issue playing games. When I boot them up I get this message:

Thanks. Ill wait for someone to convert to NTR then I guess. I used NTR before.

Try rolling back to an earlier stable Luma version ?
Are the 3DS XL shells on Aliexpress matte or glossy?

There's a photo of one on this page

Secondary or Primary ? ORAS has had Basehaxx for ages IIRC (don't think it ever got hacked) , but that's a secondary exploit.
ETA - Primary. Interesting but it hasn't been implemented, doesn't seem like there's anyone interested and competent yet either but that will probably change.
gingerbeardman
Member
I guess I'm not most people
Yeah, cheers, but I can't know for sure whether or not they are fingerprint magnets like the official shells from that.
Which one would you recommend? I think it's on 8.1.1
Elaugaufein
Member
Hmmmm. That should be stable. Is it a cart or eshop game or both causing problems ? And what Luma settings are you using ?
My 3ds was still on rxtools because I hadn't used it in so long. Switching to luma was remarkably easy compared to the first time haha. It's so much better too. It's funny how much of a psychological barrier that longer boot sequence was. I pick it up and play it so much more now with the quick boot.
Eshop game. It's my friend's 3DS and he says there's more than one game getting the same error, this one in particular is Ace Attorney Trilogy.
Only luma setting being used is "show NAND or user string in system settings"
Elaugaufein
Member
Isn't forcing the N3DS Clock / L2 ? (I don't think it should matter since Ace Attorney isn't the kind of game to have issues with that usually).
And not using NTR.
The games are correct region / region (since Luma region / language isn't on) ?
If all that's true I'd put the SD in a computer and make sure it isn't corrupt / has corrupt files. That can lead to seemingly random crashes when booting eshop games.

Eh, the best part about the Super Fami/SNES 3DS is actually the inside. I have a SNES one and the Super Fami plates to change between them, but on another colour it looks like Faceplates, not the fully integrated design.pretty sure the super nintendo logo is on it.
they just photoshop it out of it
the 4 color buttons are easy to order also !
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Voor...lgo_pvid=263ff35c-da26-470b-a002-3ff240b8760a
Is it easy to change the top plate?

Yeah, that means your SD Card is almost certainly corrupt. It's a reasonably common issue unfortunately. The good news is that it tends to be specific makes / models of SD card and that if a SD card doesn't have the problem within about a week of regular use it's probably fine.
Holy shit, that fucking 7-day system transfer limit is bullshit.
I sold my orange and black New 3DS XL last Tuesday around 2 PM. I performed the system transfer to my regular N3DS, knowing that I would be forced to wait a full week before doing it again. But even though 7 days have already passed, it still tells me that I need to wait a full day before doing it. I've been sitting on my SNES New 3DS XL since Friday*. It's already hacked and updated to the latest firmware, just waiting to be used :/

Figuratively speaking, of course.
So I should get a new SD card?
Also it looks like it's some game files that are corrupt, which would explain why AA isn't working. Is there any way to recover the saves?
Elaugaufein

Yes.
If your 3DS is already hacked you may be able to use this to backup your saves: https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint/releases/tag/v2.0.0 but there's a decent chance many of your saves are already corrupted , but at least you'll be able to try.

holy shit, you don't need to put anything in the 3DS SD card, all the necessary files are injected into the NTRboot cart.
the limit for the files is 4mb.
after that, it's done, you don't need to unscrew your N3DS screws ever for hacks.
