I have a 3DS with a Gateway using EmuNAND (I don't even know what OFW I'm running, it's low). I have a 16GB SD-card inside the 3DS, and another 16GB microSD in the Gateway. What I really want is to just keep the EmuNAND and using the internal SD-card for .cia-files instead of using the microSD in the Gateway. What's the best way to make this happen? What kind of size SD-card is recommended? Can I keep my EmuNAND partition if I switch to a bigger SD-card?

I have a 16GB SD-card inside the 3DS, and another 16GB microSD in the Gateway. 16GB is alright, 32GB is better. (Reportedly, bigger sizes up to 128GB will work if you format them to fat32.) For CIA files, and if you're not going to use the Gateway anymore, you'd probably be best off upgrading sysNAND to 9.2 and emuNAND to 10.7, though you'd want to use something else to boot that emuNAND, since Gateway's launcher only works up to 9.2. (That said, you'd be able to still use the Gateway with the sysNAND by holding B while selecting the "Launch Gateway Mode" setting in the launcher.) Also yes, it's possible to transfer an emuNAND from one SD card to another.

Fat32, cluster size 64kb but that really doesn't matter and just shaves a bit of time off (read: like a second or two at most) of boot apparently.

Xinlum posted:Well it took all day but I finished with no hiccups! I want to test everything out and got a .3ds file. How do I use it? You don't, customfirmware and a9lh CFW don't use .3ds files, they use .cia files instead. To use it you put it somewhere on your SD card (I have my .cia files in a folder rather uncreatively titled CIA), and then install with your title manager of choice. The main title managers people use are FBI and BigBlueMenu/DevMenu. FBI can be injected into the health and safety app with decrypt9, or installed on its own as its own app. The plailect guide details the health and safety injection process. FBI is apparently slightly inconsistent with installing games and poo poo so while I have FBI installed I also have BigBlueMenu as well, which I use predominately. I'm not actually sure what, if any, differences there are between devmenu and bigbluemenu. .3dses are used by gateway/sky3ds cards, and they're much less convenient than cias since they can't be used online. If you want to use a .3ds file online then you need to build a private header for it, since using a public header is one of the only ways to actually have your account (temporarily) banned by nintendo. As far as I'm aware the only other way I've heard of someone getting their account banned is by trying to change their eshop region without changing the region of the rest of their system, and nobody really knew what they were doing at the time and the NAND got all hosed up. cia games, by contrast, can be played online with no problems. There's really no reason to use .3ds roms anymore.

I can vouch for DevMenu, it can be installed as its own CIA and it's pretty solid. Edit: Though you'll need to use an injected FBI to install it in the first place.

It feels nice to finally be done. Took about 5 hours starting from 10.7 to getting everything done. So besides ripping my carts to SD and emulated games, any other nifty things to check out with my freshly hacked DS? I remember getting my Wii to do pretty nice things like play DVDs, stream media, hack Brawl like crazy, ect. Also do I need to keep all of those emuNAND and sysNAND backups I made throughout the guide or do I just need 1 or two of them?

At the very least, keep your pre and post-A9LH sysnand backups. 2.1.0 in case you lose your OTP bin files. Emunand doesn't matter if you're only using sysnand.

It might depend on the flashcart though. My old CycloDS doesn't even recognize as anything when I put it in the slot, but it still works perfectly fine in my DS Lite.

I totally forgot Cyclo had to make the CycloDSi Evolution because the DS Evolution was totally incompatible with DSi and the 3DS acts like a DSi when in DS mode. I'd expect the DSi Evolution to work however. But yeah, after a having a semi-current R4 or the DSTWO, not really a problem.

My understanding is TWL patching only makes it so that any flashcart that has ever run on 3DS can run again. For older cards that never worked, apache thunder's TWL Slot-1 Loader along with the TWL patch should work.

This is going to sound kinda dumb but how can you tell if the NTR clock speed stuff is actually working? I have the version of NTR with it built in and sometimes I'm not noticing any extra speed on say Pokemon X during battle scenes. The menu always shows 268MHz as selected but I'm not sure if it's not being set or if that's just how the menu was written.

It still wouldn't work as the 3DS when in DS mode works as a DSi which the CycloDS Evolution never worked on. The list of known working cards in Slot-1 Loader were DSi Flashcarts if I recall correctly.

Depends on what FW you're on currently. Anything on 10.6 and up needs either Cubic Ninja or OoT3D with power saves (or access to a homebrewed 3DS to load the hacked save file). Lower firmwares have options. Ninja edit: Smashax sort of works, but the setup is dumb and stupid and I hate it so much and did it 3 times.

It depends which firmware version you're on. Below 10.6 and you can use browserhax, which is entirely free. Above 10.6 and you need Zelda OOT with a hacked save (i.e. you need a datel powersave card or someone with a hacked 3ds to hack your save for you) or cubic ninja. https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-1-(Homebrew)
