You can examine all the options again by holding SELECT as you power on your 3DS which will boot you into the Luma3DS Configuration screen. Setting the string in System Settings to show "Sys" is just the default configuration option in Luma3DS when you initially loaded it. Thus, you now have a region-unlocked system (you can run region-locked 3DS software on your console), you can run homebrew software, etc.

Luma3DS automatically patches out certain Nintendo restrictions, not deletes them. In effect, you should have a system capable of booting Luma3DS without the SD card. And after you boot your 3DS, it should copy itself to your CTRNAND partition root as well, replacing/backing up the original boot.firm that was there. If you follow the guide, you will have copied the Luma3DS boot.firm file to your SD card root.However, there are some flashcarts that have a switchable mode so they can do both, as you noted with yours. This has the unique side-effect of making the flashcart unable to load. firm payload can be used as long as it's named boot.firm. With the modified flashcart inserted and triggering the proper procedure, the system immediately boots the flashcart and looks for a boot.firm file on the flashcart's SD root and loads into it. Using such a modified flashcart exploits a hardware feature of all 3DS consoles, which was likely intended for booting Nintendo-made recovery cartridges. The "code on the cartridge" is boot9strap which is flashed to the NDS flashcart. In the end, DISKPART is always a good tool to learn on Windows.Īs for the other things, it sounds like you want to know a bit more about them, so here it goes: Your method of formatting your SD card was an excellent exercise in learning DISKPART but with tools like GUIFormat and Rufus, you could have saved yourself some of the trouble. Oh yeah - there's also Homebrew I've not tried yet - any recommendations? (I've seen some online browser too? I forget what it's called)Īm I missing any "Main uses", or bits about the jailbreak? (and a bunch of tec stuff like debugging?)Ĥ Rosalin : Enter game cheat codes, and switch to faster CPU mode on New 3DS's.ĥ: FBI : Installing / deleting CIA files. It's used for ripping games, and installing 3DS files. so we can copy GM9 files to the SD Card now. It turns the text "Ver" to "Sys" to show it's active.ģ GodMode9: After installing Luma3DS, the firmware files on the SD Card aren't needed as it's patched the firmware 3DS uses. When the side switch is in DS mode, the menu appears under "Spongebob Squarepants" in the home menuĢ Luma3DS : This copies the firmware into free firmware space, and patches the copy so that any location cartridges can run, and deletes the authentication code (cryptically signed ROM images?) used to check ROM's are real. (rather than whatever Nintendo file would be there) It also comes with the ability to play DS games on the SD card I slid in it.

The code I'm guessing jumps to the Luma3DS file on the SD Card. Sorry, just impressed myself with not cocking it up.Ĭould you tell me if I've missed out any important bits, or got something completely wrong for the following: ace3dsX cartridge for ntboot, Luma3DS, GodMode9,, FBI and Roslina?ġ Ace3dsX: It has some code on the cartridge that is run by triggering the 3DS's firmware flash function using the battery/keypress combination on power on. install jailbreak code, and then extend the partition to the full 64GB.

all entirely new! I found the SD Card needed to be <32GB, and I learned how to use DISKPART to format a 64GB to 32GB Fat32 (quick). that one) The first 3ds took about 3 hours of learning, reading, and trying out the 3DS menu and stuff. I didn't have a 3DS until last week, and bought one for the first time, and followed the great step by step guide to jailbreak it, and install several cia apps.
