Olá, rato.

Should I just go with the old 2DS then? It kinda looks like shit but it's not like I'd play with it outside

Always the spanish

As a matter of fact I have a DS lite. Tried following the NDS guide but I'm getting the black screen with that as well. Using a R4i gold rts and the standard flasher for the NDSL. Am I doomed?

Hey lads,
not a big gamer, but would like to start playing some online gaming at least with my brother.
I have a modded Wii with a bunch of games..
Would like to put a headset on and BS while playing..

1. Is it possible to play older games on the old wii online? (say FIFA or Mario Kart)

2. Could I get my brother to download Roms on his CPU and connect a controller to it? (can he online game with me without a system)

Any other info I should know, equipment I should get?

Have you even installed the kernel files required to run the flashcard on your R4's micro SD?

OP is a faggot and should leak the CIA instead of teasing the /v/irgins.

Anyone know if there are any decent bullet hell games i can get on my vita whether it's a dump, psp or emulated looking for something similar to touhoiu

>Anemone3DS is a new theme manager and recommended after what happened to the last two
>what happened to the last two

What hapend?

If you don't mind weaker performance on N3DS compatible games, and a lack of good emulators, sure, I guess. But a compatible flashcard 20 bucks at most and even gives you access to the entire DS library, so I have no idea why you wanna be so stingy when it comes to money.

-drama
-more drama
3ds scene is filled with divas. you would guess that the majority of people that contribute are literal women by the way they go after each other.

They are girls (male)

I want to install a custom splash screen on my 3ds, but the file I downloaded is .xcf. how do I do it?

But beside faggotry and gossip the other 2 apps still work without problems right?

the dev praised a recent closed source malware and made his own software closed source. he's probably stealing your data if you use it

Wii online has been shutdown for a while, but you can still play online with altwfc, and yeah a real Wii and Dolphin should be able to play together.

Former threw a hissy fit due to people not using ad "do you want a free ipad" .fly by giving him money.

Latter is an immature piece of shit who needs to fuck off out of the scene (and any sort of programming job) forever.

CHMM2 is outdated beyond saving, and Themely is closed source, so you have no idea what the fuck the dev could be doing with your 3DS' data.

yeah, probably. I haven't updated my themely in a very long time. shit just works, so I'm not touching it.

awesome.

altwfc is a program id download on my wii?

and Dolphin, my brother can download on his cpu and connect a controller?

>so you have no idea what the fuck the dev could be doing with your 3DS' data.

Does that includes access to shit like my credit card number?

no, that shit isnt on the 3ds. more like fake being your 3DS (not account) on miiverse and putting gay furry porn on it and get hellbanned.

Not to that extent because that's stored serverside by Nintendo, but he could suddenly decide to make an update including a way to steal your 3DS' seed, or swap it for a banned one, or what the fuck ever.

Oh and how do head sets come into play, does it depend on the game?

themely is hosted on github. I can't imagine them allowing any sort of intrusive software.

then again, I could be wrong, but i've never had any issues with github software in the past.

I love you.

Oh in that case I dont care then
tnx

Luma3DS is stuck on 7.0.3 and has been for months on my end. I say stuck because it refuses to update to 8.1.1. Keeps saying DOWNLOAD FAILED and absolutely nothing else of value. Why can't it update?

The 3DS is on 11.4.

Because the tranny went full retard.

Just fucking google altwfc

The only way to have voice chat through the Wii is the Wii Speak, but that's really a terrible solution. You'll just have to have a separate computer on your end to talk to him through Skype or whatever.

read the guide. you'll need to do a few things before you can update.

Github cannot know whether it's intrusive or not because Themely's source code isn't open any longer.

lolol nigga I know, im just more so asking for personal experience or if its worth it/works well

appreciate it though

Fuck, they're multiplying.

I don't have a /gm9/scripts directory on my SD card. Should I just make that and hope for the best?

do what the guide says, or you'll find yourself with a black screen and fading blue light syndrome.

and don't overwrite shit without making a copy of it first. just in case you fuck up the update to luma, you should hold on to the boot file, and anything else you'll replace, just until you have finished.

You're probably on old b9s or a9lh still

I did, and nothing got overwritten. Thing is, it didn't SafeB9SInstaller. It launched Hourglass9 instead. Granted, the /luma/payloads/ directory wasn't empty but I thought I'd be able to choose.

Metoroido never ever

So I removed start_Hourglass9.bin from the payload subfolder. Nothing. Holding the start button upon booting up didn't take me to the Luma3DS chainloader menu as it should.

Github doesn't audit the source code they host. Also, themely isn't open source anymore.

I don't think it has happened, but a homebrew keylogger could potentially be possible. That'd be kinda cool actually.

Give it 5 hours.

Metoroido maybe closer to the actual fucking release date, autismo

it NEEDS at least ONE firm in there to load.

There was. I should've mentioned that I moved start_Hourglass9.bin elsewhere but left SafeB9SInstaller.firm in the payloads subfolder. It's the only thing in that subfolder. I booted up, held start, but no chainloader. I put start_Hourglas9.bin back in the subfolder, held start, and then the chainloader pops up giving me the option to start Hourglass9 or continue booting to the 3DS proper.

It won't take SafeB9SInstaller.firm for some reason and the directions aren't helping. I'm stuck on Section II, is what I'm saying.

your luma can't read .firm files. You need to get the SafeB9Installer.bin.

if it's only responding when the .bin payload is in that folder then you're still on Luma 7.0.whatever

7.1, 8.0, 8.1 all only respond to .firm payloads

You are still using a9lh, are you even fucking reading the guide you're following? Luma up to 7.0.5 uses .bin files for its chainloader.

The archive that holds its .firm file also has the .bin. Why didn't the directions specify that too? Here goes.

Luma3DS is still on 7.0.3 on my end but the updater refuses to bring it up to speed. Hence why I'm doing this at all.

Because wherever you're reading your directions from, you either misread and you're following the guide to UPDATE an old B9S install to the newest, or you missed a step and/or are reading an older, outdated guide. I'm going to peg this one on user issue, however. Specifically since you stated that the archive you're using has a .bin in it.

Fuckwad.

so i finally got a chinese sd2vita "v3.0" in the mail
i had already bought a v2 or whatever from plebbit/ebay before that

what should i buy next to make me want to use my vita

amazon shipped my copy of metroid early for some reason. Will be getting it on the 13th and dumping it if no one else has.

you're doing the lord's work user

3ds-guide.b4k.co/updating-b9s

That says nothing about renaming.

Also, following step 5 of section II might've somehow fucked things up. I'm getting blinking blue light syndrome. As in, it won't boot. At all. Help.

3ds-guide.b4k.co/a9lh-to-b9s
THIS is what you need you dumb fuck.

>Prime free 2-day
>Shipped on 11th
>Arriving on 13th
Cannot into math, user?

told you this would happen. godspeed to you, user.

Sorry, thought release day was tuesday

>muh updaters
If you stopped using retarded ass fucked GUI garbage for everything, you'd figure out you can update Luma faster on your own. Copy the latest arm9loaderhax.bin over the old one. But wait? The latest luma has no arm9loaderhax.bin? What could it mean? Now you know why your updater failed. So you either suck tranny cock and use the "Switch to b9s" part of the guide, or go download 7.0.5 from luma's github and update it manually.

>you either misread and you're following the guide to UPDATE an old B9S install to the newest
congratulations, retard

good fucking job, user
you "updated" b9s when you didn't even have it installed (assuming you're )

only ntrboothax or hardmod can save you now

Jesus fuck

i really don't know how can a person be so clueless about what he's doing
unless this user got somehow an already hacked 3ds and doesn't know a single thing about cfw

wow dude, just wow

so, for a maidump, I just download mai, and open up the folder in that?

>3ds scene is up to the point where anyone and their dog can hack a 3DS, with the absolute most they need to do is purchase a flashcard for 9 dollars
>hacked 3DS's are popping up all over the place with multiple entrypoints
>we can't dump the first metroid game in 7 years early

what good is all this shit you lazy plebes

So it's broken forever unless I shell out God knows how much money to crack open my 3DS, assuming that's what a hardmod is? The guide I was using was found through the pastebin. I've been out of the loop for months and first hacked the 3DS in late 2016 or so, I may have forgotten a few key things and assumed I was on b9s. Not that I know how to check things like that.

But seriously, how do I go about fixing this? Even if buying another 3DS was convenient (which it isn't because apparently I need TWO to hack CFW into one now), there's my save files to consider.

why assume laziness, when you can just assume people are being cunts?

ds scene is up to the point where anyone and their dog can hack a 3DS
Yeah, except for some idiots like who can't into basic reading.

What are you talking about user, it's been 10 years since we had the last Metroid game.

You don't. Buy a new one and don't hack it, you're obviously too retarded.

i just bought a vita, i want to hack it, but i have a few questions
will i be able to still remote play from the ps4?
how the fuck can i use 2 accounts on one vita?
i've seen some microsd adapter, do they work fine?
thanks my niggas

user...............................we have to talk

nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=149

Get this and use ntrboothax. Your save files are gone probably.

>will i be able to still remote play from the ps4?
I'm not sure actually, if it's a new vita
>how the fuck can i use 2 accounts on one vita?
You don't without debug firmware, but since you can't activate it's kind of useless anyway
>i've seen some microsd adapter, do they work fine?
yes, they're good

I haven't updated my luma since like 5 months ago because all I want to use my 3ds for is playing games is there any reason I should update and go through the trouble of updating b9s and all that to update luma?

No we don't. There hasn't been a Metroid game since Prime 3, it's a fact.

>will i be able to still remote play from the ps4?
no
>how the fuck can i use 2 accounts on one vita?
with henkaku
>i've seen some microsd adapter, do they work fine?
yes

PLAY DA GAME!

Or wait maybe they aren't. I'm not familiar with recovering from bricks using it.

you can update if and when you find a game that doesn't boot on your current version but until then you're good
But on the other hand updating is not that difficult or time consuming so it's really up to you man

I forgot I was still on a9lh nor did I know how to check what I was on. I just wanted to pirate some games to see if they were worth my time and money. Now I can't play Pokemon anymore and my virtual console games are lost forever.

>those mircoSD prices
Motherfucker. Actually, I was using JK's SaveManager so if I drop cash to restore my 3DS, maybe I won't lose those. Maybe.

afaik, there's a "single 3ds" method to prep an R4i Gold 3DS RTS for ntrboothax
if you can get your hands on an R4i Gold 3DS RTS and a working 3DS on any firmware equal to or lower than 11.5 you can restore your bricked 3DS along with all its save data
you just need to buy an R4i Gold 3DS RTS
do not buy a flashcard that is not R4i Gold 3DS RTS

R4i Gold 3DS RTS

Having fucked my 2DS when the old >5 hours method was still new, and saved it 2 weeks ago now, no, your files aren't fucked.
