Going to another subject, is there a way to restore the license for the Ambassador Program games on the 3DS? I have them from way back when, but when I had to restore everything after something corrupted the system (been too long to remember), the gba ambassador program games no longer launch. The NES ones I got work just fine still, but the ten GBA games are not working anymore. I honestly don't care about keeping homebrew on the system anymore and rather just go back to stock, but want to fix the GBA games before I do that..

You may need to install an unpatched version of AGB_FIRM from 3DNUS or something. IIRC patched AGB_FIRM and TWL_FIRM do not work properly with luma3ds due to luma patching the firms on the fly.

The Team Executor code apparently has some stuff that could brick your switch if activated and it detected you were using a pirated version of their software (which is used to also play pirated games)

I mean wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. I think I remember clones of Gateway flashcarts could brick your 3ds. Maybe they just bricked the flashcart, not sure.

I am excited to finally hack my DSi XL. Does anybody have any experience with the cfw for it? How do I install the Four Swords.cia for example? I'm not asking how to do a piracy. It's a free game I transferred over to my 3ds and they won't let me transfer it back (I prefer to play it in its original resolution).

Also GBA games must look amazing on it due to the lower resolution and big screens. Does it use the DS internals that have gba hardware even though they got rid of the gba slot?

I just bought a New 2DS and want to basically take the micro SD from my homebrew’d New 3DS and have everything on the 2DS. What’s the process? Do I have to use a flashcard with NTRboot or whatever it’s called to manage this or is there just something I can throw onto the micro SD card to make it all work?

I'm under the impression it still works you just have to either do individual GC game injections or setup a forwarder for nintendont (which means booting games through nintendont off of a sd card I believe instead of booting games through wii vc and your usb loader using nintendont which lets you put the games on a usb hard-drive)

Some sort of GBATemp guide from November 2017

edit: yeah okay the guide talks about making a wii u gamepad compatible Wii VC homebrew channel forwarder but removed some of the files for :filez: reasons? If you're getting the black screen when launching GC game injections on your wii u this is probably the only way to fix it but I don't know how to set up a gamepad enabled Wii homebrew channel on the Wii U as an injected VC game. Hope someone else can help ya.

So I needed some space on my 11.7 DS and went into Freeshop to delete a 3.7gig game and while the game is no longer showing up in my system or in the games list in freeshop it never actually free'd up the space on the card because I cant install anything else because the system says there's not enough room?

What gives? Did I do something wrong? Also from looking at a glance, theres no possible way the games I have on this card can total up to 32 gigs, even with the 3.7 I just 'deleted'.

I think you're supposed to delete games and other stuff via the sd card manager built into the 3ds settings. Not sure what freeshop is doing. Maybe deleting the ticket/title id but not removing the files off your SD card itself.

Did you look at the data management in settings? I feel like I've tried to delete from freeshop and was still able to delete the actual files from the settings menu. Worst case scenario, put your SD card in your computer and find a 3.7GB folder.

You can always try dumping all of your SD card contents to a hard drive, format the SD card, then put the files back on the SD card. Could just be some weird SD card issue.

Apparently it gets worse in that it modifies a bunch of system code that has nothing to really do with making SXOS work too. Like it was a bunch of slapdash programming.

It's not quite the same, but Everdrive firmware updates often intentionally brick Chinese clones.

This is extra funny, since someone reverse engineered the SX OS code and their loader is comprised of an old version of the nx-hbmenu, a modified version of Atmosphère for all file system interactions, a modified kip1 loader (which is hekate i guess), and even their code talking to their license server is using an open-souce crypto-library. Note that license-wise all the open-source stuff can only be used if you provide the source code with your program. Guess what they're not doing.

Just about the only original code in there is the one that will brick your system by encrypting your entire storage plus boot partitions with some random password if you look at it funny.

So in starting to do this I noticed something weird about the SD card: I have two files, both have the child folders. One is 17 gigs which is I assume all the current games, and the other is around 10 gigs.

I'm thinking the smaller one is titles that have been removed but not wiped from the card?

Mine has that but I don't know why. The names of folders should be a number which seems to be the game's ID. You can type the ID into the titlekeys website to figure out the name. Or find the game you thought you deleted, figure out it's ID and find that folder.

Thanks for the info I'll do that!

/edit it appears that all of those games were installed on my original sysnand when I first hacked it. I went ahead and deleted doubles of stuff and the space is back now thanks!

IIRC if you are running the latest firmware you are stuck with the browser exploit.

That being said, if your goal is to install software that you have a valid ticket for its less of a problem. You really only need to do the browser hack when you install it, because it will be recognized as a perfectly legitimate application. If you don't have a ticket for it, then you are boned.

Is there a newer method that is more consistent than the browser exploit? I hacked my Wii U like 1 to 2 years ago and haven't updated it, so I'm still using the browser exploit, and it only seems to work like 1/3 of the time.

If you have version 5.5.0 or greater, you can follow https://wiiu.hacks.guide/ to install haxchi on a vulnerable DS title*, I don't know about older firmware versions.

*The vulnerable DS Title must be a legitimate purchase.

5.5.1's browser exploit was a little more stable than 5.5.2's but still wasn't that stable. If you can't get the eshop to work you're kind of out of luck on haxchi/a more stable way to exploit things for now. There was going to may be an exploit that used the amazon prime video app but it never came out and that wouldn't help you anyway since you can't get into the eshop.
