Wait, can you actually play Vita 'backups' on it? I was under the impression that they had only opened it up for homebrew (emulators mainly I guess) and PSP piracy. That's what the FAQ on /r/vitahacks said anyway.

If it is just that I'm not sure it's worth the risk, since I'd want to be able to play some of the PS+ Vita games I've been hoarding for the last couple years. Plus Remote Play doesn't work without a PSN connection.

Vita piracy would be more interesting, especially for the games I bought for PC that I may never get around to playing and wouldn't feel too bad about grabbing for the Vita instead. Stuff like Danganronpa, Neptunia V-II, etc. seem pretty well suited to a handheld anyway.

I've put Henkaku on my OLED Vita, biggest nuisance is having to go to site to run exploit, and trying to run games I already have digitally - thought I just saw that spoofing was working recently.

Yes, you can play Vita 'backups'.

Ah, I guess my mistake was going to /r/vitahacks instead of /r/vitapiracy. Vitahacks and the people who made Henkaku are still pretending that you can't do anything but homebrew with it.

Sounds like that's the way to go then. It doesn't really matter if I can't access my PSN/+ games on 3.60 if I can just download any of those games as a Maidump. The only downside seems to be that I can't play any new games that require 3.61+ and I'm not sure exactly which games are affected. Kind of want to play Caligula Effect, but jp reviews make it sound nowhere near as good as Persona so I guess I'll live without it.

Edit: Well, that was a bust. Gamestop had three 1000s, two scratched all to shit and the third pretty much mint. And of course it was 3.63 FW.

Can't believe I just spent as much for an 8GB Vita card as I did for the 128GB microSD in my tablet. Fucking Sony. I ended up buying a new Vita to be sure it was version 3.60 or lower. I'm still not clear what I can and can't [safely] do with henkaku though. It sounds like it's possible to connect to my PS4 for remote play as long as I register it with the code like I did my PC, and any game released from the end of October on requires 3.61+ but I can still use older carts like the P4G I already had. I think.

Late to the game but decided to mod the Wii U, so Haxchi requires you to buy a DS game? Is it required for anything other than not having to use the browser exploit to launch homebrew?

Yes you have to buy it, it's the portal per say of the key hack - and "it" gets replaced by... I think haxchi? Or something.

Has anyone hacked a N3DS running 11.2.0-35U? I'm following 3ds.guide and have the homebrew launcher working. However, when I try to run udsploit as per the instructions it hangs 100% of the time after "patching kernel... done !" I've re-downloaded and re-copied all the files a few times now. Wifi is on. Any ideas?

Late to the party. I had the exact same version, and did it one try no errors. Maybe they updated something?

Can someone direct me to somewhere with CIAs for 3ds? TV torrent is pretty lackluster. It doesn't even have Shin Megami Tensei 4, only Apocalypse.

don't try to torrent 3ds games, install instead the app freeshop onto your 3DS and download every game you want straight from nintendo's servers
freeShop

I installed that. Seems like the title key website is down.

I poked around and found some forums with a decent library of games in CIA so I'm gonna stick with that until titlekey site is back up.

More or less. freeShop is much more user friendly and basically does one thing--downloading games directly from Nintendo. CIAngel does that plus it can grab DLC separately from games and can install it for carts you own, lets you backup the CIAs if you think you need them for some reason (like having multiple 3DS you want to install to), etc.

If you don't need any of CIAngel's extra features, stick with freeShop.

Anyone wanting to install Fire Emblem 1 remake before the freeShop database is updated, just go to the titlekeys site, search for Valentia, and click the QR code button by the encrypted title key. Scan that in FBI and it will install from the Nintendo CDN just like freeShop does.

Not sure what DLC is out on release day, but there's no keys for anything extra yet.

apparently nintendo sent out a big banwave on hacked 3DS starting last night
Nintendo Banwave 25/5/17. Online services for many hacked 3DS's has been banned with Error Code 002-0102. The same code was given to those who played Pokemon SUMO Online before release. This does not ban access to the E-Shop. • r/3dshacks

i guess it means you can't play online with your 3DS if you are banned, but you can still access the eshop (why?) and of course continue to still play offline games. I've never played an online game with my 3DS and its still on 11.2, don't think i'm affected. I guess if you go to friends list and get the error message 002-0102 you are banned. It tells me I need to update my system firmware to access friends list so I can't even do that, but no plans on updating firmware I just have the 3DS around to play older JRPGs when I'm at the doctors or mechanic

I decided to check if my 3ds got caught up in the ban wave and it turns out I did. I only use it for single player games anyway so I don't care too much.

Yeah, it really only affects people who play MK7/MH/Pokemon, none of which interest me in the slightest. Bravely Default/Second would suck without streetpass villagers, but editing the village savefile to max them out is fairly simple.

Still not sure if mine is banned since I'm on 11.2 and haven't bothered to install ctr httpwn to check, but I assume it is. If the CFW itself didn't flag me then having non-legit DLC or other region games like Beyond the Labyrinth (a JP-only release which has an English patch, but unfortunately kind of sucks even though tri-Ace made it) installed likely did.

BTW, if you're still on A9LH you should go to 3ds.guide and convert to B9S instead. Luma3DS has already dropped A9LH support entirely, so you won't be able to get CFW updates until you switch.

Anyone else download FE Echoes and try installing the DLCs? It finishes the download but then just says Suspended instead of Installed at the end, and they don't seem to be working.

I get the same issue from both freeshop and ciangel. One of the theories about the ban wave is that it may have something to do with Echoes. I wonder if it's trying to download the unreleased DLCs.

Yeah, that's definitely what it's doing and why it suspends at the end. I tested it in FBI and there's a 404 error on some of the later files. It could also be one of the things Nintendo flags people for, but the 404 error could also be a normal thing for season pass holders and the game just knows to ignore it while freeShop/CIAngel don't.

I came across a couple fixes for it. First is to just download it until getting the suspended message, close freeShop, load the game itself and go into the DLC menu and tell it to redownload all and it should work. If that doesn't do it, there's a CIA posted to 3dsiso which should work fine.

I can't test it yet since you need to be on at least 11.3 for the DLC to load at all. I think I'll just wait until all the DLC is out to screw around with it, not like I'm short on portable games to play now that I have a Vita too. It does sound like this FE is a hell of a lot better than the last two though, if for no other reason than 8-4 did the translation instead of Memehouse. Almost all the negative reviews seem to be from people who want to play a waifu simulator instead of an actually challenging SRPG.

I don't have much to compare it to, having only played through Awakenings and was still early in Birthright when Echoes came out, but I like it so far. I'm definitely not going back to Fates until I finish Echoes, as I like it much more so far. I understand that Fates is considered to not be very good though.

I'm on 11.4 and have no issues, from what I've read it's completely safe to update, especially since we have sighax through B9S now.

I still have my nand backup from when I first unlocked the 3ds. I'm wondering if going back to that may reverse the ban, since I'm seeing people posting about files to edit in order to unban yourself. It's possible that what you need to edit isn't stored in nand backups though. I'll have to look in to it sometime.
