I bought a New 2DS XL (just before they ceased production) for the sole purpose of modding it. The hack is even easier now. I see you have a C64 on your desk.

I did this on my already-used 3ds, but it simply gets stuck infinitely loading instead of booting into safeinstaller.

I'd try reformatting it all and starting over. Sometimes it doesn't work first time but just try again until it does. Make sure to re download the software as well just to make sure.

If you are using an SDXC card larger than 64gb you will still need to use the 32kb cluster on your FAT32 options. The 3DS likely will not read a 64kb cluster size.

I haven't touched my 3ds xl in over 10 years so the software is pretty old. Can i still use this guide for that or should i do something else first for e.g. a newer update?

[@BytesNBits]

You should still be able to run a system update to get it to the latest software version.

I continued to get a finalize.romfs invalid code. I deleted and re-download the file multiple times. Any advice?

[@BytesNBits]

If everything else went to plan that stage should just clean up a few things. Try the troubleshooting section of the hack guide.

[@odinvestli]

quick question, if i download the games with the sd-card. Does the games get stored on the 3ds, or on the sd-card??

[@BytesNBits]

On the SD card

[@uuei890]

i need help the rosalina menu doesn't show when i use the buttons

[@BytesNBits]

Please check the hack guide for some troubleshooting tips.

7:00 - 9:00 I don't understand this, how can I see this?

[@BytesNBits]

The slowdown isn't really such a problem. it just takes a bit longer to access to files.

[@achrispy]

amazing video man. thank you so much it has helped me multiple times.

[@BytesNBits]

Great. Glad it helped.

[@Paccyd33]

stuck endlessly loading on the b9s installer, ive tried the troubleshooting

[@BytesNBits]

Make sure you've got all the files copied over to the SD card correctly. If it's still doing it restart from the beginning.

[@christopherchalk3420]

If all this was done on a 32gb sd card and you want to upgrade to a 64gb card is it a case of just formatting it and copying the files across from the smaller card or does something else need to happen?

[@BytesNBits]

Copying all the files should be OK

[@christopherchalk3420]

I did try that and can see luma when the new card is inserted but none of the homebrew or games although all files are there. I followed your steps from finalise to get the homebrew and had to reload all the games. Oddly I can't see my f: drive since formatting the 64gb card to fat32 so not sure what's going on there.

[@judysabbah]

Im stuck at the extra data management it only have the downloading icon

[@BytesNBits]

Try restarting the hack from scratch, including building up the SD card. You may have some things corrupted or missing. Also check out the guide page to see if it has this error covered.

[@boss64fun]

Can you enter Godmode without the start button? It's defective in my case

[@BytesNBits]

I don't think so. It needs to run at startup.

[@glennogames2828]

Thank you for that easy to follow guide. I only have one question. How can I backup the data for a second time after I downloaded a few things?

[@BytesNBits]

The stuff on the SD card can just be backed up as normal files - just copy the whole drive to a backup folder. The NAND updates just do the same as in the video to get a new backup.

[@glennogames2828]

@@BytesNBits Does the "dump NAND" on FBI also work for the NAND backup?

[@BytesNBits]

@@glennogames2828 I honestly haven't tried it. I think it's supposed to do the same job.

[@christophrichter4252]

Long Video but it helps me. Other tutorials weren't succesfully

[@BytesNBits]

Glad you got it working.

[@liz3951]

I see that the only file left of the release file is the boot9strap folder. Do I have to delete the other files myself or did something go wrong during the removing part in the mset9.bat program?

[@BytesNBits]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaW0pXyEaKqnf6ssi=DdHT2tBOaGU-6054&t=1079 I still have a number of files and folders on my SD card. the removal program should just take out the active parts of the setup.

[@quazyblix2224]

my 3ds aint detecting a currpuption can you help me fix that pls!!???

[@BytesNBits]

You'll need to work through the troubleshooting guide in the 3DS hack website.

[@Buddha438]

Hey i was on the install the homebrew part and im trying to go to godmode9 but it won’t let me

[@BytesNBits]

Have a look at 3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting. That tends to cover most of the issues. Quite often it's a file not saved in the right folder.

[@spudmage4195]

omg finally good fecking job nice one

[@BytesNBits]

Hope you got it working. Enjoy the games!

[@mahmudkhaliil2525]

Where do I start if my 3ds is already moded and i have a blank SD card

[@BytesNBits]

Check the 3DS hack guide pages. You basically skip the first steps.

[@user-vt2cr7cz2j]

Hi, Great Tutorial 👍🏽 But I can‘t download the finalize helper firm, because there is a 404 error. Does anybody else also have this problem?

[@BytesNBits]

You should be able to get them from this page 3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup.html

[@user-vt2cr7cz2j]

@@BytesNBits thank you, worked out perfectly.

[@Maddogred5]

i downloaded the program for formatting the sd card which i thought it would let me format for free but instead is having me to purchase a license to use the program got any other programs that could help me?

[@BytesNBits]

If you use the download button from here you should get the free version. If it asks about installing the pro version or a paid version say no and just install the free one. www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html. If you still have no luck try a program called Rufus.
